Satya’s Mini Self Care Retreat
FAQs
How do I get to Satya’s Mini self-care retreat?
Satya’s Self-Care retreat takes place in a beautiful jungle home in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Flight, Shuttle Service & Travel Arrangements is not included. We recommend all guest get travel insurance when booking their flight. For directions on how to get to us go here.
Do I have to be vegan to attend this retreat, do you have any recommendations on exploring veganism throughout the retreat?
You do not need to be vegan to attend the retreat! This is a space to try something new or to continue your self care journey. 1-2 weeks prior to your arrival, I recommend experimenting with veganism, by implementing all or more plant-based meals into your every day life. Meat and dairy are the leading causes of disease within black communities so I want to encourage a plant-based lifestyle. . ”Eating plant-based helps cleanses the physical body of impurities accumulated from poor dietary habits. It also reduces stimulation to the digestive organs and liberates energy. A feeling of lightness affects the mind; this improves concentration and aids meditation. We each know that when we have eaten a heavy meal it becomes harder to concentrate. During this time you will detox from alcohol, eating dead food (processed and synthetic), eating dead animals, eating too much or too little, chemicals in food and prolonged exposure to air pollution. A period of fasting from these things facilitates the body in throwing off toxins, and frees up energy". Our plant-based meals are absolutely delicious, we also can provide raw and fruitarian selections upon request. Animal by products will not be allowed, no exceptions this includes leathers, skins,..etc.

What about my hair, I know that we will have the chance to go to the ocean, what should I do ?
I understand this question as black hair is so sacred and important! If your hair is natural, then I recommend wearing your hair natural. There is an abundance of coconut oil here in Costa Rica. If you are not natural (meaning you have a perm, weave, etc) then I do recommend getting braids as this is a retreat where we get our hair wet and connect back with nature and ourselves! We would love to have you in your natural hair glory! Please note: Box braids can get in the way with yoga, whether this is your first time practicing or you have practiced for years, I invite you to experience the full practice so I don't recommend specifically box braids.
How much spending money should I bring?
I recommend bringing $350 or more for spending, you may also want to purchase souvenirs in Costa Rica.

A bicycle will be provided for each guest to explore the area in their free time. Taxi's are approx $5-$10 to get around Puerto Viejo.
