salvatierra wellness retreat
a dance with duality
Playa Coyote, Costa Rica | March 2nd - March 7th, 2026
Life is rarely one thing. We are always moving between day and night, sound and silence, action and rest, joy and grief. At A Dance with Duality, we don’t try to choose one side over the other — we explore both, letting them inform and illuminate each other.
We invite you to soften into the paradox: to be both rooted and free, grounded and expansive, fiery and fluid. This is the dance we’ll learn together.
Between fire and ice, movement and stillness, the sun’s warmth and the moon’s cool glow, lies the place where true balance begins. This Dance with Duality invites you to explore the dance of opposites. To ignite your inner fire through energizing practices and calm your spirit with deeply restorative rituals. Each day is crafted to guide you between activation and release, heat and cool, strength and surrender.
Under the golden rise of the sun and the silver hush of the moon, we gather. This is where fire meets water, where movement surrenders to stillness, where the self you’ve been and the self you’re becoming meet in a tender, transformative embrace. Together we’ll remember what it feels like to belong — to our bodies, to the earth, and to each other. This is our journey home. A place for anyone and everyone to rest, release, and rise.
Led by seasoned facilitators and nervous-system-informed practitioners (Sonali Krish, LPC-A; Allison Hardman; Favi Parilla), this retreat blends movement, rest, adventure, and reflection into a week of transformation and renewal — open to anyone and everyone, no matter your yoga or meditation experience.
