….You wake up at 4am with night sweats and an overwhelming feeling of fear…
…You watch the news, and you have no idea whether anything you are hearing is true or of propaganda…
…You listen to your co-workers, and you suddenly feel that no matter who is saying or doing what, your basic security is threatened at so many levels…
…Your teenager is of an age where she is going to have to think about what is next on her path to adulthood. There does not seem to be a ‘next’ for that generation…
…Your husband comes home and fears that he may well be next to be fired…
…You just don’t know who to turn to for even a small degree of comfort…
…You see billionaires getting richer in leaps and bounds while your mother struggles to pay the rent this month…
….Your car is making funny noises, and you need this car to get to work…
…You fear that one of the many conflicts around the world will not be locally contained and WW III will break out…
But what if your anxiety holds important clues about how to not just survive these times - but move through them with more clarity and peace of mind, and how to be truly helpful from a place of peace?

Independently Evaluated with Extraordinary Results:
In December of 2011, Warren Helfrich, a program evaluation consultant in private practice, was contracted to complete an evaluation of the services offered by Choose Again at their Healing Centre in Costa Rica (El Cielo).
For the three most commonly identified issues of those attending the Centre – anxiety, communication issues, and depression the decreases in the proportion of individuals rating them as serious, extreme or life threatening were 79%, 78% and 76% respectively.
Including a 3-month coaching & integration program:
Our at-home aftercare program offers you small group coaching sessions and access to online six step group therapy session, all with the same expert counsellors you worked with at the Centre.
Costs
An all inclusive 10 Day Workshop including 3 month integration program starts from only $7,800 (USD). Scholarships are available.
El Cielo, Choose Again's holistic retreat centre, was opened in 2006 overlooking the magnificent Arenal Volcano and Lake.
Our facilities include a communal dining hall, spaces for indoor and outdoor group circles, a yoga studio and a greenhouse where we grow our own greens.
Food to write home about...
Our international, in-house chefs serve three buffets a day of globally-inspired, locally-sourced food. The mind and body healing that we offer to our guests is delicously supported by vibrant and nourishing cuisine.
Experience the breathtaking beauty of Costa Rica
In every workshop we make sure to make at least one excursion to a local site of extraordinary beauty. This could be to the wild hot springs by Arenal Volcano, the tranquil Lake Arenal that is our spectacular view, our local equine therapy centre, and/or one of the vast and peaceful beaches on the Nicoya Peninsula.
