2026 Costa Rica Wellness Experience
January 18–22, 2026
A New Year Deserves a New Way to Begin
Step into 2026 rested, realigned, and surrounded by a community that
gets it.
Are you someone who makes your wellness a priority and is looking for more ways to put that commitment into action?
You live with intention. You’ve done the work.
You make choices that support your body, your mind, your spirit.
Even with good habits and (mostly) good decisions, life gets busy.
The to-do list takes over, your focus drifts, and those not-so-aligned patterns sneak back in.
That’s why carving out intentional space to pause, assess, and recalibrate isn’t a “nice to have”, it’s essential.
The 2026 Costa Rica Wellness Experience is that space
Limited to 13 guests for an intimate, inclusive experience

Your Host & Guide
Missy Dunn
(owner of barre3 Madison)
When an injury took her out of running and tennis, Missy worried her days of joyful movement were behind her. Then she found barre3—and everything changed. Through movement, mindfulness, and intentional self-care, she built a life that feels strong, grounded, and full.
Now, she’s bringing that same energy to Costa Rica.
“I’m beyond excited for this retreat. It brings together two of my favorite things: connection and community. Starting the new year with intention, clarity, and space to actually rest (with friends and soon-to-be friends) feels like exactly what we all need.
If there’s a quiet voice inside saying ‘I need this,’ listen to it. Don’t overthink it. I know this from experience. I’m confident if you say yes to yourself, you’ll leave Costa Rica feeling refreshed, realigned, and so ready to step into 2026 with energy and purpose.”
