Perched on a hillside overlooking Lake Arenal in Central Costa Rica - with toucans, monkeys, and butterflies in the trees overhead – sits a remarkable gem of a retreat centre, the sole purpose of which is the personal transformation of all who come.

Cost and length of program |
The Retreat Centre is open 365 days a year, with a minimum stay of one week.
A one-week stay will give you a firm grasp of the Six Steps to Freedom—the process at the core of our unique healing program. It will also allow you an opportunity to relax and nourish your body with yoga, exercise, healthy food, and meditation. You will leave feeling refreshed and renewed.
The average length of stay at our retreat is two weeks and participants often request to extend their stay while with us at the center. Extensions can generally be accommodated when space is available. To ensure a longer stay however, advanced registration is recommended.
Longer stays provide the time to truly integrate and embody the work. Recent research on neuroplasticity has highlighted the benefits of repeated practice to form new neural pathways, and therefore facilitating more profound and lasting change.

A Lush and Healing Environment
|
The Choose Again Intensive Retreat Centre is located right in the middle of lush and abundant jungle, with colours and sounds to soothe and calm mind and body.
The surroundings provide an important addition to the healing program, be it the Volcanic Hot Springs, the amazing hiking trails on the property, or simply the incredible views from the dining hall. In Costa Rica we get in tune with nature as we rise and sleep with the sun. It's a wonderful opportunity to get back into a natural rhythm, and restore the nervous system. |

“My time at El Cielo was life changing. I know that I have only been home a couple of weeks but I have been using the tools and feel so free. It is amazing how taking responsibility for my own happiness and giving up responsibility for anyone else's can flip the world upside down.
I have had no symptoms of anxiety or depression since I arrived in Costa Rica. I feel like a different person."
– Former Client
