​
​Costa Rica, July 10th -14th (or 16th), 2024
You said yes to help the world heal. You said yes to something bigger than you, bigger than us, and with unlimited in potential. Now say yes, to join your peers for a very unique community gathering of sharing, learning and playing together in the RIM way.

Is this retreat for me?

This retreat is being curated specifically for RIM facilitators who want more continuing education, more deep community love, and a profoundly powerful personal retreat vacation. By the end of this magical retreat, you will have deeply connected with other beautiful souls, slain your biggest saboteurs, and learned even more miracle-level transformational skills of RIM, so you can make a greater impact, and be a natural attractor of ideal clients, while recharging your mind, body and soul.
Relax, Learn, Grow, Play & Connect ​in Paradise
Picture
​​As you gently glide from your first amazing night’s sleep, you awaken to the sounds of locals starting their day - local monkeys, that are celebrating a new morning in the giant Guanacaste tree shading your casita.​

You notice this is not another boring hotel. Maybe your room has round or angled walls or looks directly out into the treetops or filters the morning light through stained glass windows.
Picture
​​​You're almost reluctant to leave your casita, but a kaleidoscope of butterflies beckon from your window. As you meander the pathways through lush gardens… you feel the peace in your body, and know you are already different than you were. You revel in the lightness from the feelings of the arrival ceremony the night before.

You remember the feeling of tears, laughter and hugs you've already had with your new friends. You can sense the excitement building for the special day ahead. ​This is a special place. These are special people. You are special. You find yourself arriving at breakfast, connecting with the other beautiful souls who are your classmates and future lifelong friends. You belong here.

​


What You Get

Picture
As a guest at this special, one-of-a-kind community retreat, you'll co-create your own experience.

You'll experience retreat activities like group RIM of course, and maybe you want to learn and practice doing group RIM as one of our educational opportunities. Enjoy RIM infused yoga classes, breathwork, sound healing, and magical surprises designed to take you deeper than ever before. You’ll fall more in love with yourself as you slay some saboteurs and discover your own new growth edge or stretch area. Perhaps its to stand more in your worthiness. Imagine the joy you’ll feel as you create more loving self-talk and more life successes!

Get ready to own your boundaries, speak your truth, ask for what you need, attract the respect you deserve, and you'll probably do some other healing you didn't expect, without even knowing it! Imagine the connection and love you’ll feel as part of this creative, fun, and supportive community you already know, but in a whole new way, in a whole new set and setting.
This is Different.  Deeper.  Primal.  Subtle.  Nuanced.  Powerful.  Gentle.  Magical.
​You know you belong here.

The Venue
Picture
​Welcome to a special place to nurture your mind, body, and soul. The perfect place to cultivate the magic for your business and life.

Start by greeting our turtles (Julia and Stevie Gonzales) and rest your feet in the lobby pond if you want to be tickled by the minnows - a spa treatment in itself! Allow yourself to just BE.

Picture
​​Your room is as individual as your own thumbprint. Every special and unique part of you feels invited and welcomed as the unique shapes, colors, textures, scents and sounds of Con Smania.
 
Con Smania sleeps up to 30 guests, but we are limiting this retreat to a max of 24 to relax completely in unique splendor. Spread throughout lush tropical gardens, each unique casita with a private bath, sleeps 2-4 guests. Some casitas have a single sleeping area with two XL twin beds and others have multiple sleeping areas with one or two beds in each area. Very limited single rooms available, and a limited number of spaces for spouses/partners.

Picture
​Costa Rica is soulful, alive, vibrant and real, just like you! We love the Pura Vida attitude here and we love our jungle, river, and our completely undeveloped beach, Playa Buena Vista. All easily found by our shuttle drivers, and perfectly hidden from traffic, tourists, and distractions.

​Con Smania (means with passion that comes out of aggitation) Retreat Center is located on the west coast in the Nicoya peninsula of Costa Rica. It is one of 5 Blue Zones in the world where more people live past 100 years, and for good reason.

Just a ten-minute stroll to the Pacific Ocean, nestled in the shade of giant Guanacaste trees filled with monkeys. Your unique and artistically created oasis awaits.
Picture
Most beds are XL twins and are outfitted with new luxury mattresses and linens. All rooms are air conditioned and offer ceiling fans, tea kettles, safe drinking water, and a mini-frig. Fussy about pillows? we have a vast pillow library; bamboo, copper, memory foam - whatever your pillow fantasy is!
 
Wander the garden paths and delight in this feast for the senses. We won’t tell you exactly where to find all the places to rest and ponder life… we believe you will magically come upon them right when needed.

Picture
Along the way, you'll find hammocks and loungers, chat spaces and meditation platforms. You won't be able to resist dipping your toes into the pool and connecting with your soul brothers and sisters.

Meals
​Con Smania Style
Picture
The name Con Smania means with passion and so does mealtime. Your senses come alive as you take in the brilliant colors, textures, tastes, and scents of simple and delightful homemade meals. Ingredients are farm to table, fresh and organic. Exotic fruits are grown on property and eggs come fresh from the farm next door.
You’ll bond with new friends as you explore consciously prepared meals inspired by the ingredients that make this one of the world’s five Blue Zones.
Picture
​Can't eat this or that? Dietary restrictions are celebrated here. The bountiful buffets are very vegetarian friendly, plus fish. Your culinary adventure includes traditional homemade Costa Rican food and surprises to delight the adventurous foodie.

​We believe in honoring the land through connecting closer to source in all ways. Buffet style, we encourage you to take what you need knowing you can always return for more.
Picture
​Breakfast and dinner are included every day. Anytime you need more nourishment, blend yourself a smoothie at the included all day smoothie bar. You'll find local fruits, greens and nutritious add-ins. Also, grab a snack – you never know what we may conjure up that day.
Itinerary
​
Always subject to change, most likely due to monkey visits or a beautiful summer storm.
Wednesday Day 1 - Your Arrival
Picture
Your retreat begins as soon as you clear customs. We take care of everything. Relax and connect with new friends on your scenic shuttle ride through the countryside enroute to the Con Smania Retreat Center.
​

Upon arrival, settle in and explore the grounds or even take a dip or nap. We’ll bond over a group dinner and a special welcoming ceremony weather permitting, perhaps a fire or a sacred circle ceremony.
Thursday Day 2 - Immersion Day
Picture
Enjoy a leisurely morning followed by a group breakfast and a day of immersion into living the work. Today, you can immerse yourself into several experiential RIM-Infused activities, you will be creating a safe and sacred space for the week. This is often where spouses discover and appreciate your work, while surprising themselves with their own capacity for personal work. We all will discover our own custom growth path for the week and beyond. Create group agreements, (in a RIM way) for how you will be growing, and playing together throughout the week.

Group Dinner and perhaps tonight is the Breathwork Experience with our own RIM community Breathwork Facilitator.
Friday Day 3 - Learning, playing and Growing
Picture
Don't set an alarm, the monkeys will tell you when it's time to get up. Start with an early morning walk and beautiful guided beach cleanup experience designed to expand your worldview of our planet, and the inner-scape of how you think, feel and work.

After breakfast you have freedom and choice! Pool time? Reading? Writing? Connecting with others for a walk on the beach? A Massage?

Workshops are being designed and solicited from you, the participants, along with educational programming and local experiences.

Picture
Group Dinner and evening at your leisure. ​Maybe tonight is the perfect time to do a sound healing experience. 
Saturday Day 4 - Farmers Market in Samara & Afternoon Flex time
Picture
Start the day right with a special RIM-Infused yoga class with Jenn, then after breakfast, we'll shuttle to the farmer's market in Samara, where locals and your chef shop for groceries and unique artisan products. Maybe opt for free time, book a massage or other healing treatment.​

The afternoon will bring some choices for you. Maybe we figure out staying in town after lunch if you like. Or beach time.
Picture
​Evening - Dinner and a quiet evening to relax, socialize, or contemplate your personal journey to the sounds of nature.

We'll end with a Closing Circle, for those who will be leaving Sunday. 
Or perhaps you'll stay on for two more nights?

Sunday Day 5 - THe Plant Medicine Experience Add on Option
Picture
After a morning beach walk or free time, maybe a little yoga, and breakfast, and saying goodbye to those leaving us, enjoy some quiet time. You'll meet our ceremony guide and their team, who are true masters at sharing their gifts.

You will spend the afternoon experiencing your own healing journey in a safe and sacred setting, ending with a beautiful ceremony and family-style dinner.

monday day 6 - Integration Day and closing ceremony
Picture
Morning beach walk or yoga class anyone?  After your leisurely morning and group breakfast, you’ll set your own pace. 

We will have a sharing circle and enjoy a very relaxed, peaceful and joyful day to allow what wants to emerge.
Picture
The evening brings our farewell dinner. Perhaps an evening fire or future RIM movie. We'll welcome this in a RIM way. 
​
Tuesday Day 7 (or day 5 for those not doing the add on) Departure Day 
Picture
After lots of hugs and goodbyes, with grab and go breakfasts and love-snacks for the ride to the airport, departures as scheduled.   
More pretty pictures
​​By the end of this magical retreat, you will have deeply connected with other beautiful souls, slain some of your own biggest saboteurs and refreshed yourself in mind, body and spirit. Here are some scenes you might picture yourself in.
​Your RIM Friends & You!
PictureSal Martignetti & Mike Kline
You might even be a co-host at some point if you choose!
You are invited to come play, and YOU decide what that means! You might want a lot of down time, You got it. You might want to share your training gifts with others. We'll have open times and places where participants (including you if you like) can offer their gifts... Do you want to lead a workshop, games, energizers, laughter yoga? smoothie making? walks on the beach, or an endless variety of retreat activities for self exploration, connection, and personal growth, pool time, a writing workshop or journaling time. Whatever you want to co-create, or relax and see what others offer, or just relax. Period. 


Make it a Bigger Vacation
Maybe you have a spouse who wants to come, but also wants to do the whitewater rafting, ziplining, hot springs mud baths, and hiking at a volcano. We got you covered! Add 2-3 nights before or after the retreat! We're doing that in July 2023 and will post our fun pictures here. You can make your own plans, and you're welcome to look at what we're doing with Hacienda Guachipelin.  What we like about this is it's an easy drive from the Liberia airport, so we can shuttle you back to the airport where you pick up a car and have your easy fun adventure from there. Two nights, maybe three is probably enough. Alternatively, a night or two at Playa Coco or more touristy Tamarindo is a popular tourist option, or researching your own spa resorts, etc.     
Even More Details
Frequently Asked questions
Picture
Can you help me find a roommate? Yes! This is the most popular way to participate. In fact, we offer very few single occupancy casitas at an additional cost. We are happy to match you to a roommate. If you have a friend coming who you want to share a room with, just let us know.
 
Can I bring my kids/partner?
 Some spouses do well, some don't. Many participants find it best to focus on themselves and their work. We encourage social time deepening the friendships you will create here, some of which may last a lifetime. That said, if it feels right for the participant your spouse or partner may may be the perfect thing for you both. Some couples make great friends with other couples as well. You decide. We can have a conversation about how that might work for you (or not). This retreat and the retreat center is definitely not set up for children. Partners should know there is no bar and no TVs, and they should be open to exploring at least some of our activities.​

Where do I fly into? Liberia International Airport in Guanacaste (LIR), aka Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport

Is there transportation from the airport to the retreat venue? Yes, included. You will receive a questionnaire for your flight information, and we will arrange shuttles from the airport to the retreat center with your classmates.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions? Absolutely, all special diets are welcome and celebrated here.

Is it safe to travel to Costa Rica? Absolutely. Costa Rica is the safest and lowest crime area of Central America. As a stable democracy, Costa Rica abolished its military in 1946, in favor of investing in free education and a public health care system. Crime in Playa Buena Vista is not even on the radar. At our own beach, we will likely not see anyone else even there. When traveling to town or public beaches, like any tourist area, it is recommended not to wear expensive jewelry or carry valuables, and never leave valuables in a car even if locked.
 
What is the weather like? Typical high is 83 F and lows of 73. During the green season, we expect a lovely rainfall most afternoons and if we're lucky, an amazing storm/nature show. 
 
What do I pack? Casual and comfortable, with shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops being the norm. Most participants abandon any concerns about hair and makeup after the first day. Even going into town is very casual. If you plan to take advantage of a photoshoot, bring what you need to prepare for that. Irons and hair dryers are available on site. 
 
Still have a question?  
The trip is amazing, and we want everyone to know its right for them. If you're not sure, book a call with Mike to chat using his online calendar.

Your payment and registration does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Although rare, we reserve the right to refuse any participant who is not a fit for the personal work we will be undertaking. RIM is specifically contraindicated (not for) for those with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and/or paranoia, or any condition that interrupts the ability to discern reality.

If we cannot match you with a roommate we may switch you to a single occupancy room, in which case there will not be any additional charge.

We have exclusive use of the entire retreat center, with room for just 24 people.  And if it feels right for you, we are allowing a spouse/partner/plus 1 who is emotionally brave enough to come play with us and honor the safe and sacred nature of the place, the people, and the experience.

Cancellation Policy
Picture
​Due to the special nature of this event, and that this is a special unpublished rate negotiated for this group, this is non-refundable, unless we sell your bed to a replacement party.

We reserve the right to cancel the trip if it does not meet the trip minimum, resulting in a total refund of amount paid.

​Trip cancellation insurance is always recommended whenever making travel plans. Travel insurance includes health insurance while out of the country, for this reason, we insist you have travel insurance. Two popular providers include 
Travel Guard Insurance  and World Nomads  
where you can choose from several policy options.
