Waves of Awareness Immersion:
With Rebecca Kovacs and Mitchell Bennett
August 9-16, 2025 / Nosara, Costa Rica
Waves of awareness is a holistic exploration of the relationship we have with ourselves and our breath on land and in the water. Join us for a transformative 7-day all-inclusive breath, movement, mindset, surf experience 9 degrees north of the equator where the Pacific Ocean meets the jungle’s edge in Nosara, Costa Rica. Immerse yourself in the perfect storm of self discovery, empowerment, nutriment, and light hearted fun!
This is an immersion—not a retreat. While you will have space to rest and nurture yourself with retreat style amenities, this immersion is more educational and in-depth, intended for deeper learning and transformation.
We are seeking individuals who are ready to explore mental barriers, cultivate a strategic growth mindset, and gently push the limits in conditions that challenge them to stay composed.
The work we do on the mat and in the water directly translates to how we deal with the stresses of daily life. We are here to remind you of the power that is alive in conscious breath and a positive mindset; a power within you. Gradually, the practices help reset baseline breath capacity and expand your bandwidth to process stress with more gentleness and more ease.
This immersion is designed for those who embrace curiosity, play, and, above all, safety as they deepen their connection to breath, body and mind in and out of the water. We look forward to sharing the magic we have in store for you.
Waves of Awareness Immersion includes breath and movement practices, surf lessons, meals and transportation to and from Liberia or Nosara Airports. Your flights are not included. Please email us to schedule a call. We look forward to hearing from you.
PLEASE EMAIL : followyourdharma.love@gmail.com for additional information and inquires.
Your beach home is a short walk from the sand and surf of Playa Guiones by way of a private path. Each bedroom has beds with luxury mattresses, remote operated A/C’s, ceiling fans and digital safes. There are 5 bedrooms in the Main House with 4.5 bathrooms, 2 common areas for group chill outs and a meditation, or quiet room, if you would like to enjoy a private moment away from the group to read a book or reset. A pool separates the Main House and the second structure, affectionately known as the Rancho.
The Rancho offers 2 bedrooms that share a bathroom, as we all the communal centerpiece of the property. Held by the jungle, it is a colorful and comfortable space where we will gather for most meals. The upstairs of the Rancho is a gorgeous and massive shala and will serve as our research lab for yoga, movement, breathwork, mindset development, etc. Hammocks line the shala, offering an epic space to siesta during breaks.
A few of the rooms in the Main house and Rancho.
This immersion is about honoring ourselves; staying kind while we observe the subtleties in our ever-changing waves of awareness. As we welcome, study, and reflect on our mental fluctuations, we can soften into acceptance, open to unconditional love, expand our consciousness and evolve into more of our potential.
Single and shared room options are available first come first serve. Room rates range $4,400 - $5,500 with a few twin bed share options for 4,000. Please schedule a call to speak about specifics.

Life is too darn precious to deny yourSelf moments like this.
Though I am delighted to be your guide, it is of utmost importance to me that we co-create our experience. In this light, you can exchange the surf option for other adventures (horse back riding, zip lining, SUP, ATV tour , etc.) and/ or choose to a more restorative approach with massage, birth chart // tarot card readings, etc. We’ll start with a consultation call to clarify your intentions and craft your ideal experience from there.

LILA SHAKTI - COSTA RICA : FEB 15-22, 2020
Conscious, Balanced Living + Celebrating Life as Sacred Play.
YOGA + SURF + SOUND
JOIN ME IN CELEBRATING YOUR SELF THROUGH PRACTICE + PLAY !
In true Snake/Peacock fashion we are balancing reverent work with sacred play to activate the throat, heart, navel and sacral charkas. This experience is the essence of Lila— deep transformative work through joy and play. We create a safe, supportive space and build from that foundation of trust. Where there is trust, anything is possible. All of this work works, especially when we gather in circle and support each other. Yoga is the unifying thread of this retreat with themes around creativity, self confidence, self love and compassionate communication. These themes offer the opportunity to release inhibitions that obstruct you from free, authentic expression. Through sacred arts practices, begin to dissolve blocks and let yourSelf be seen. What better setting than the stunning jungle of Costa Rica? While my yoga classes and trainings are informed by breathwork and sound healing, this is an expanded space to allow the integration of voice, the fifth chakra, into all levels of practice. The week will be filled with opportunities to create and connect with the very special community of Nosara as well as the healing guidance of Gaia, our loving Mother Earth.

LILA SHAKTI - SPAIN
We’ve chosen September to decrease the crowds and fully immerse ourselves in the culture and intentions behind this family owned estate. This is an opportunity to integrate our yoga practice on and off the mat in larger ways. Meals prepared for you are farm to table—direct from Brugarol— and September is known to provide incredible produce from the garden. The tour of Bell-Lloc Winery is also of study of 2017 Pritzker Prize winners, RCR Architects, whose designs are intended to “relate to the environment of its site”. Bell-Lloc is considered one of this trios most important works, using recycled steel from old ships found at the bottom of the sea and building below the hillside to leave nature as undisturbed as possible. Each detail of Brugarol and this experience is mindfully crafted to honor, celebrate and preserve our bountiful and generous Earth Mother.
The yoga is signature Lila Shakti style, meticulously crafted by Rebecca, drawing from a decade and a half of study, practice and teaching around the world. Each practice cultivates conscious, mindful movement through slow, breath + alignment based flows. We workshop, flow, play and pray. Classes are composed of Dharma Yoga, Kundalini Kriyas and Restorative postures. Deep relaxation, chanting and meditation are infused throughout to restore balance to all systems—mentally, physically energetically and spiritually. These techniques stimulate your body to heal itself and it is my intention to empower you with that wisdom through each experience. My mission is to remind you of the power and potential you hold within so that we may lovingly live in harmony with ourselves, each other and our Mother.
Sessions will be adapted to serve our group while honoring personal needs. Prior to the retreat I will connect with each of you via ZOOM to discover your desires and goals.
