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

Wait List is Now OPEN

What You’ll Experience

Here’s what’s waiting for you in paradise:

  • 4 nights at a luxury SLH property (Small Luxury Hotels of the World), with your choice of private or shared accommodations

  • Daily guided movement sessions designed to ground, energize, and gently awaken your body each morning

  • A soul-soothing sound bath experience to help you drop into deep rest and reset your nervous system

  • One 60-minute spa treatment to release tension

  • Delicious, locally sourced meals each day—breakfast and dinner included, always fresh and nourishing

  • $100 resort credit to use however you like (extra spa time, drinks by the pool… your call)

  • Round-trip airport transfers to and from San José International Airport

  • Beach time, community connection, and the spaciousness to truly unplug

You’ll Leave With

An immersive 4 night, 5-day wellness retreat experience designed to help you:

  • Step out of the noise

  • Reflect on what’s working…and what’s not

  • Reconnect with your values, your body, your clarity

  • Set powerful, aligned intentions for the year ahead

  • And most important, have some fun and treat yourself to a luxury experience.

    And you’ll do it all in the company of people
    who get it.

    When you’re surrounded by others who are choosing intention over autopilot, you get more than rest, you get accountability, clarity, and momentum that sticks long after you return home.

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.”
