This isn't an escape from your life. It's an opportunity to rethink how you return to it.

RetreSana isn't designed to give you seven perfect days and send you back unchanged. Beautiful places, good food and rest matter, but they're the setting, not the purpose. The purpose is what you take home.

The RetreSana journey

A retreat with somewhere to go.

Unplug

Step outside the normal cycle. Slow down, rest, move, eat well and spend time outside. You can't reconsider your routine while you're running inside it.

Discover

Experience healthy living rather than hearing about it: nourishing food, movement, rest, nature and good company. Explore it, and decide what belongs in your life.

Transform

Not an instant result. The moment you start to see possibilities differently, and find something worth carrying forward.

Continue

The real test begins at home. Day Eight matters as much as Day One, and we'll help you bridge the two.

Experience your week

Your week has a rhythm, not a rigid agenda.

Morning: Wake naturally. Optional movement, breakfast, a wellness experience.
Midday: Lunch, rest, the pool, conversation, time for yourself.
Afternoon: Nature, a group experience, or simply free time.
Evening: Dinner together, connection, reflection, the fire.

Activities vary by day. Some experiences are scheduled; others are optional. Space for yourself is intentional.

Day Eight

What happens on Day Eight?

You wake up at home. Work is still there. Your calendar starts filling again. That's why the goal isn't simply to feel wonderful for seven days. The more important question is: what will you take home?

Maybe a different morning routine. Moving more. Thinking differently about food. Protecting time for yourself. RetreSana doesn't decide that for you. You do.

The retreat may end after seven days. Our relationship doesn't have to.

If you want help turning what you discovered into everyday life, you can continue with guidance from the RetreSana team. There's no obligation and no single path you're expected to follow.

Meet the founders

Why we created RetreSana

We saw retreats that offered beautiful places and carefully scheduled days, and we wanted something more lasting than seven enjoyable days. We have strong beliefs about what can contribute to a healthier life. We'll share those ideas and invite you to experience them. What you choose to take home is yours.

Your hosts: Alex Alborzfard and Dr. Dixon

Your home for the week

A setting designed to help you step away.

Mandala Ojochal sits in the rainforest near Costa Rica's southern Pacific coast: open-air shalas, a pool that looks into the jungle, villas with room to rest, and a dining pavilion where the group comes together each evening. It's the environment where the RetreSana journey begins.

Who it's for

You don't need to arrive transformed.

You don't need to be an athlete, a wellness expert, vegan, a yogi or a meditation practitioner. You only need to arrive open to the experience.

Questions

Before you decide

What makes RetreSana different from other wellness retreats?+

Most retreats are built around the week away. RetreSana is built around what happens after it: seven days to step away, experience a healthier way of living, and decide what you want to take home.

What do you mean by “Wellness Transformation Retreat”?+

We create the time, setting and support for change to begin. We don't promise that seven days will transform your life; the change is yours to make, and we can help you continue it.

Do I need to already live a healthy lifestyle?+

No. You don't need to be an athlete, a yogi or a wellness expert. You only need to arrive open to the experience.

Do I have to take part in every activity?+

No. Some experiences are scheduled and others are optional. Open time to rest, read, walk or do nothing at all is part of the program, not a gap in it.

Is this a medical program?+

No. The retreat is intended for general educational, wellness and lifestyle purposes. It is not a substitute for individualized medical diagnosis or treatment.

Can I attend alone?+

Yes. With shared accommodation you can register with a roommate or ask us to match you with another participant, if available. Private accommodation is also available.

Is transportation provided?+

Scheduled group ground transportation between the designated Costa Rica arrival/departure point and the retreat is included. Flights are not.

What is the deposit, and are payment plans available?+

A $1,250 non-refundable deposit reserves your place. The balance is paid in two instalments, on November 15, 2026 and January 5, 2027.

What is the cancellation policy?+

The $1,250 deposit is non-refundable. Cancel by November 30, 2026 and payments beyond the deposit are refunded; from December 1 to 31, 2026, 50% of them are refunded; from January 1, 2027, payments are non-refundable. You may ask to transfer your place to another eligible participant through January 15, 2027.

Can I speak with a founder before booking?+

Yes, and we'd like that. Request retreat details below and we'll set up a call.
