Nearly 6 years ago, after working with thousands of patients at our Acupuncture clinic and observing how they are experiencing many health problems, we realized that the current fast-paced, immediate gratification, and tech-oriented lifestyle we live in, is becoming a huge contributing factor to the poor health of industrialized countries. We ourselves also felt stressed, overwhelmed and fatigued carrying that type of lifestyle. It was then when we decided to embark on a journey to find a place where we could recharge our mind, body and spirit in a way we never experienced before.
We visited many places such as the Blue Ridge Mountains, Rocky mountains, Ojo Caliente in New Mexico, and though out Peru, but it was not until we landed at a very special spot in the rain forest of Costa Rica that we realized we found what we were looking for. This was it, the first time we came back home feeling a sense of well-being we had not felt before This caused us to return just 3 months later for another experience. Upon returning we immediately started brainstorming how others could benefit from the amazing gifts this place has to offer and so we created our first Conscious Mind Mastery Retreat experience in March 2020. Since that first visit we have been back 9 times and of those have hosted 5 healing retreats.
It has been our life’s work to understand what the body needs to experience profound healing. Since 2005 when we started practicing, we immediately realized that food is a crucial pillar to super health. Seeing patients health and evaluating their lifestyle, diet, habits, and emotions we found food choices and diet to be less than ideal. After treating thousands of patients we concluded this to limit peoples full return to vital health. For over 10 years we have used food and diet to transform peoples health. After studying with many masters, continuous research, studying Tibetan, Ayurvedic, and Chinese food therapy we have created a 9 step system to use food as a therapy based on body types.
After teaching this system to acupuncturists and patients, we have combined the best of two worlds, the wisdom of oriental food therapy and the best of our Costa Rican healing retreats. We have created a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn the whole oriental food therapy system while immersing yourself in one of the world's blue zones, right here in Costa Rica.
Ultimate Healing and Learning Experience:
Exclusive Conference Location:
Our conference is held at our favorite healing hot spring resort, Los Lagos. This is where we bring all of our healing retreat participants. Los Lagos has one of the only conference rooms in La Fortuna. It is a world class resort with some of most exotic hot springs on the planet. With views of the volcano from within the rainforest, your mind will elevate as you breathe some of the cleanest air full of oxygen and negative ions making it ideal not only for your health, but also qi gong breathing exercises.

Permaculture, Sustainability and Organic Farming
View over 100 different medicinal plants and trees, which are maintained with strict organic techniques, and taste fresh-picked vegetables, exotic fruit and herbs. Culminating with a traditional Costa Rican homemade meal from the finest and freshest farm-to-table ingredients picked that day. This will delight all your senses.
Rejuvenating Hot Springs
Experience the ancient healing benefits of balneology. As you bathe and relax in these healing waters, located within tropical forest vegetation, your body will absorb high levels of negative ions and minerals that promote health and longevity, while detoxing and lowering your stress hormone, cortisol. Soaking in hot springs may provide pain relief, clearing of your skin and cleansing your body.

Chocolate and Coffee Tour
Visit our friend's farm, located 10 minutes from our premises. Enjoy seeing how cacao is grown while learning about its benefits and history. Let your taste buds excite as you sample and taste a variety of chocolates, including an ancient Aztek cacao drink. Have fun crafting your mix of chocolate with traditional spices and flavors of Costa Rica. You will also learn how coffee is grown, harvested and traded. You will see all stages of coffee production from planting to the roasting process and sample several brewing styles from around the world.
La Fortuna Waterfall
One of the largest waterfalls in the whole area is located just 15 minutes from where you will stay. The crystalline water of the Arenal River tumbles from a height of 70–75 meters over a cliff to form this beautiful waterfall. You will be amazed by the beauty nature provides: birds, monkeys, orchids and high concentrations of pure raw oxygen and negative ions that will elevate your senses and open your heart. The waterfall produces an amazing 5,000+ negative ions per cubic centimeter. Negative ions can restore your health at a cellular level and also boost your immune system.
Boost your Qi while learning:
It is when you submerge your body in the pristine rainforest, healing hot springs, and breath taking waterfalls, that nature delivers the healing you are looking for at its best. This is a synergistic transformation from immersing yourself in a place with the highest amount of negative ions, oxygen, and phytoncides that allows your body to create maximum resilience.
If you are ready to learn an effective food therapy system in one of the world's blue zones while having fun, this is for you!
