SITTING BENEATH A MAJESTIC WATERFALL, EXPLORING THE RAINFOREST, CREATING ART,
PRACTICING YOGA, AND RENEWING YOUR SOUL.
Living the Good Life, or Pura Vida (pronounces poo-rah vee-dah).
While its literal translation is "simple life" or "pure life," in Costa Rica, this phrase is more than just a saying;
it is a philosophy.
IMAGINE YOURSELF
You are invited to join us for a magical retreat in enchanting Costa Rica at the Encantada Ocean Cottages, a cozy beach hideaway with only seven cottages surrounded by lush jungles, warm breezes, and steps away from the pristine beaches of the pacific ocean.
Give yourself the space and time to be creative allowing you to unleash your inner artist. We'll let Costa Rica's energy gently guide our creative pace.
Spend free time relaxing on the uncrowded beaches soaking up the sun. Napping in hammocks, surfing, boogie boarding, walking the beach, hiking, and discovering the wonders of this tropical paradise.
Take time to slow down and connect deeply with yourself and other creatives.
Disconnect, take a week for deep self-care, and enjoy the "Pura Vida!"

"Wow! I just returned from an absolutely amazing and unforgettable art retreat with our wonderful hosts, Missy and Ron Ronquillo of Pescado Y Amor! It was a true getaway, especially during times like these!
The community is more than I could have imagined- alive, vibrant, friendly, beautiful and with interesting sights at every turn! It was a true immersion and I so enjoyed breathing in the culture, language, landscape, food, and of course, art! Working in the studio and creating an art piece of my own was an added bonus! Thank you Missy and Ron!!!"
