Awakening to our senses helps cultivate a connection within, while creating a shared sense of community with fellow participants and the environment around. This unique week is designed to help recognize the daily gifts of everyday life, practice mindfulness, appreciation for nature, respect for the strength of our bodies and how we can take it all home. You will leave with a renewed sense of self awareness, grounding tools to use any and all the time, new friends and have an epic week in Costa Rica.

Each day will be about connecting to a different one of our 5 senses - sound, touch, smell, taste, and sight. We will explore each sense through daily activities of yoga, mediation, creative writing, nature exploration and sensory awareness pracitices. You can expect to be on the mat, in the jungle, down at the beach and playing in both ocean and river. This will be a week of full immersion with nature.

Past participants say:

"I attended Dana’s Connect to Your Senses Immersion in Costa Rica and it was one of the dreamiest experiences of my life! If I could just attend her engaging and nourishing yoga classes with a view of the ocean that would be enough, but that was far from the extent of the experience. The Yoga (permaculture) Farm was an amazing place to be and they cooked us all our meals; healthy, tasty and with a lot of produce that was grown on site. I can’t believe I got to have this experience and I would go again in a heartbeat " -T. States

"Connect to your senses allowed me to tune into me again. We often forget to slow down and feel, listen, taste and take in the beauty of living. Immersing myself into the permaculture of the Yoga Farm with the guided light of Dana Rivkin was an experience I will continue to reference in my busy life." -B. Neff
