Your Tropical Getaway
Embark on The Heart of Ecstasy, a transformative retreat led by Veronica Lynn Clark, in one of Costa Rica’s most serene and unspoiled landscapes. Nestled in the heart of the Talamanca Mountains, this immersive experience unfolds against the backdrop of the majestic Chirripó Mountain, Central America’s second-highest peak.
Your home, the Rio Chirripó Lodge, is a sanctuary of vibrant tropical gardens, flowing rivers, and lush green peaks. Wake up to breathtaking views of rolling hills and unwind with the soothing sounds of nature, all in an atmosphere designed for deep connection and renewal.
This retreat is your opportunity to step away from the noise of daily life and explore transformational practices that ignite your inner vitality, open your heart to deeper connections, and inspire you to embrace life with greater freedom and joy.
"Ecstasy is the state of being fully alive, present, and connected to the deepest parts of yourself and the world around you. It’s not just about fleeting moments of pleasure—it’s about experiencing life in its fullest expression, where joy, freedom, and authenticity flow naturally."
— Veronica L. Clark
