#7  "Foresight 2020" Retreat

"Foresight 2020" was splendid, sacred. The mountaintop venue was remote, surrounded in all directions by miles of wild jungle. AHKi Retreat was thoughtfully designed to harmonize with the site, the surroundings, and even the movement of the celestial bodies. Contrary to my expectations, it wasn't 'bohemian' at all. It was a mix of Asian-luxe and Costa Rican artisanal. Beautiful. Soothing. Serene. A retreat for the body, mind, and spirit.

Only one retreat at a time is hosted on site.  Our group of twelve was enfolded in a private nirvana. Our vegetarian meals were eaten together, following a secular blessing.  Breakfast was always taken in silence.

I awoke early each morning to watch the sun rise.  I went off site only once during the week to walk the gorgeous, miles-long beach adjoining the tiny fishing village of Garza.

The group would typically gather in the open-sided rooftop shala for sunsets.

Every one of the retreat participants was on a spiritual journey.  The yoga and the meditations were pure and purposeful.  The results?  Individually profound.  And collectively?  By week's end we had created a wonderfully open, trusting, respectful... and grateful community.
