You shut down your computer and end another 12-hour day. You can’t keep going like this. You think to yourself, “I need a break.” You’re exhausted, but who has time to stop?
“Executives often find that retreats are prime opportunities to regroup and recharge. They may loathe leaving the office, but executives attending effective retreats end up feeling that their time is used wisely; what they lose in time, they should gain in contacts or knowledge.” Forbes
Leaders are constantly being challenged by an environment that is uncertain, complex, highly-demanding and always changing. Your ability to remain relevant and high-performing and to successfully lead organization and system-wide change depends on your ability to grow, transform and be resilient. As an executive, you are at your greatest when you are at the top of your game, physically and mentally. As a leader, you are a role model to your team and are vital to helping your members grow and be successful and productive.
Are you a corporate executive, business leader or small business owner who is:
- Wanting to step off the treadmill and experience more fun and adventure?
- Stretched too thin and at risk for mental and physical burnout?
- Looking to recharge and refill your resiliency tool belt?
If YES, join us for our unique, seven-day Pura Vida Executive Leadership Retreat to exotic Costa Rica. Next Retreat TBD
“Pura Vida. This Costa Rican greeting means ‘pure life’. A phrase to express a philosophy of perseverance, resilience in overcoming difficulties, enjoying life slowly and celebrating good fortune.”
Our Pura Vida Executive Leadership Retreat with its small group size allow ample time for productive conversation and personal reflection to emerge, in a setting that our every day world often stifles. The rare opportunity to travel to a country like Costa Rica for this retreat, offers you the unique opportunity to really get away from all that is familiar and distracting. Costa Rica offers the ability for deep experiential discovery and learning, through truly unique excursions, in a tranquil locale.
Our 7-day executive leadership retreat offers what typical 2 and 3-day executive leadership retreats fall short of delivering, Relaxation!
To decompress and actually unwind, especially at the senior executive level, more time is required to find that place where you can recharge and begin the journey of building resiliency. Welcome to Costa Rica – Pura Vida!
Dare. Do. Learn.

Be sure, there will be ample time to enjoy the pools and spa facilities outside of these excursions and learning sessions. Click to see more details.
Pack For A Purpose: We are proud to be able to participate in Pack for a Purpose in conjunction with the Parador Resort and Spa. This initiative allows travelers like you to make a lasting impact in the community. Save space in your suitcase and bring supplies for area schools or medical clinics in need, and you’ll make a priceless impact in the lives of local children and families. To see what items are needed visit: http://www.packforapurpose.org/destinations/central-america/costa-rica/parador-resort-and-spa
Food: All breakfasts and dinners are included in the registration fees as are most lunches. As much as possible, we are hoping to sample healthy and locally grown foods especially the ‘typical’ Costa Rican meal. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions prior to departure.
Weather: Costa Rica is a tropical country so remember to bring suntan lotion, insect repellent, light clothes and comfortable walking/hiking shoes. An umbrella and a raincoat are highly recommended as September is part of the ‘green’ season and it will rain. Temperatures in the mountains are usually in the low 70’s.
Insurance: Costa Rica is considered a third world country, though it is considered to be safer than many other third world countries. Water and hygiene are a priority within the country, especially as it has a tourism based economy. While every precaution has been taken to ensure your safety, accidents and incidents do happen. All of our selected resorts and excursion operators are reputable and of the highest quality. You will be required to sign excursion and accommodation waivers as well as an overall waiver while participating in various activities. In addition, participants will be required to ensure that they have adequate medical and trip insurance prior to departure.
