The Intuitive Leader Experience

The retreat will be held at Latica Lodge, situated in Los Pargos on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula. This area is renowned as one of the world's five Blue Zones, celebrated for the health and longevity of its residents. Latica Lodge offers a serene environment surrounded by lush dry forests and is in close proximity to the beautiful Playa Negra beach.

The retreat is scheduled from April 14 to April 18, 2024. Activities officially commence on the evening of April 14. The retreat will conclude the morning of April 18 after breakfast, allowing time for departure preparations. Transportation to and from Liberia International Airport will be coordinated to accommodate these dates. We recommend arriving at Latica between 3 and 4 pm. Note that travel time between the airport and Latica lodge is approximately 1.5 hours.

Over the course of four days, each day will focus on a unique theme, integrating Costa Rica’s natural beauty into the experience. The daily itinerary includes:

• Morning: Guided meditation and reflection sessions.

• Midday: Intuitive skill-building and integration practices.

• Afternoon: Personal time for relaxation, exploration or individual sessions with facilitators.

• Evening: Group discussions, communal dinners and guided GAZE practices. A detailed schedule will be provided upon registration.

Leadership isn’t based on titles, seniority, or roles. It’s about having the courage to step into opportunities to inspire and support others, no matter your position. Brené Brown, Ph.D., defines a leader as someone who recognizes and develops the potential in people and processes and takes responsibility for making it happen. If you’re ready to grow, help others grow, and embrace innovation, this retreat is for you.

All meals during the retreat will feature local Blue Zone cuisine, emphasizing fresh, nutritious, and locally sourced ingredients. Latica Lodge offers a dining experience that reflects the traditional flavors of Costa Rica, providing a variety of dishes to accommodate different dietary preferences.

Latica Lodge offers luxury accommodations with 15 artistically decorated rooms, each equipped with air conditioning and private bathrooms. The lodge features a unique swimming pool resembling a natural river, a yoga studio, and a fire pit for evening gatherings. The seven-acre property is surrounded by preserved land, providing a tranquil setting for reflection and relaxation.
