Host Your Retreat
A space designed for transformation
Evolution is a sanctuary for deep personal transformation — a space where authenticity, healing, and inner work take priority. We provide a private and sacred environment where facilitators can guide profound experiences. Here, guests are invited to shed societal expectations, embrace radical honesty, and embark on a journey of self-discovery in a setting rooted in tradition, nature, and genuine support.
Evolution is not just a place to host a retreat — it's an environment designed for deep, meaningful change. Unlike large commercial venues, Evolution offers a private, high-touch experience where every detail is aligned with the needs of transformational retreat facilitators.
Costa Rica — a designated Blue Zone
Evolution is located in the beautiful country of Costa Rica: a paradise of bio-diversity, considered one of the happiest countries in the world according to the Happy Planet Index. There are only five Blue Zones in the world — longevity hot spots where residents live longer, healthier lives than anywhere else — and Costa Rica is a designated Blue Zone, making it even more special.
What we stand for
Authenticity
A space where individuals and facilitators can be their true selves, free from judgment or pretense.
Transformation
Committed to personal growth, deep healing, and evolution at every level.
Preservation
Honoring ancestral traditions, clean energy, and the integrity of plant-medicine practices.
Many venues offer a space. We offer a partnership.
Retreat leaders often struggle with logistics, planning, and making sure their guests have the best possible experience.
Challenges hosts face
- Lack of support from the retreat center — and from the overall event experience — for both you and your clients.
- Unclear or unexpected charges that only become apparent on the invoice, making it hard to determine your actual profits.
- Friendly staff, but lacking the extra mile to pleasantly surprise and delight clients and participants.
- A desire for a venue with diverse landscapes — mountains, jungle, beaches, ocean — while still maintaining exclusivity.
How we help
- Unwavering support for you and your clients, for an unforgettable retreat experience.
- Clear communication and realistic expectations.
- Loving staff who genuinely care about providing a high-value experience for guests.
- A suggested pricing strategy to ensure you are profitable from the retreat.
- An exclusive venue in a prime location, nestled in the mountains near pristine beaches.

Retreat pricing example
Pricing transparency is essential for facilitators planning their retreat. Here's an example of how costs might break down.
6-day retreat pricing
Local chef at $85 per day, per person · Exclusive venue rental at $975 per night
| Total venue cost — 5 nights, 6 days | $4,875 |
| Total food cost — 10 guests, 3 meals per day | $4,250 |
| Approximate base cost | $9,125 |
Total food cost may be less depending on the number of meals and people.
If a retreat leader charges $2,500 per person, they would generate approx. $16,000 in revenue.
If a retreat leader charges $3,000 per person (industry standard), they would generate approx. $21,000 in revenue.
By adjusting pricing, group size and length of the retreat, facilitators can maximize both impact and profitability while ensuring a high-value experience for their guests.

Breathwork
Deep rhythmic breathing moves us out of fight-or-flight and into the parasympathetic nervous system, helping unblock and release fear, trauma, limiting beliefs, and stored negative emotions.
