Pura Vida Retreat and Spa, Costa Rica
Located just 25 minutes from SJO International Airport
You’ve Felt It Before
The inner nudge to pause and look back. What still fits? What doesn’t? Where is life drawing me next?
This time, something deeper is stirring. You’re tired of resolutions that fade. You’re ready for change that lasts. What if you simply remembered your radiance… and could live from this every day?
Welcome to iLuminate!
Where nature becomes your sanctuary, your vibration becomes your compass, and sound becomes your path to awakening. Set in the lush mountains of Costa Rica, iLuminate is a 7-day journey of sound, spirit, and self-discovery.
BY THE END OF THIS RETREAT YOU WILL:
Deepen your spiritual connection – access Divine Wisdom through sound, nature, and ceremony.
Break through barriers – open to new levels of self-trust.
Unlock your voice – express your true sound with confidence.
Experience joyful community – connect with kindred spirits who uplift and inspire.
Emerge clear and radiant – aligned and ready to live your most luminous year yet.
Who is this for?
This retreat is for anyone feeling the call to pause, realign, and remember their radiance - through joy and bliss. You don’t need to be a singer or a meditator to deepen your connection with your Self, just open to exploring sound, silence, and the magic that unfolds when you listen within.

YOUR HOSTS
Hi! We’re Sam and Luci — musicians, sound alchemists, and lifelong students of Divine Love.
We’re thrilled to share this retreat with you.
Music has been the heart of our lives for decades, from world tours and concerts to quiet moments of songwriting and music channeling. Now our work is about going deeper: using sound as a tool to listen, release, and return home to ourselves
iLuminate is born from this devotion: a space to let go, tune in, and remember your true essence. Through music, meditation, and nature, together we will rediscover our light — and you’ll leave feeling freer, clearer, and literally giddy about Who You Truly Are.

This is YOUR MOMENT.
Are you ready to step into your truth?
To proclaim it through your voice?
To live as the Divine Being you already are?
Then join us for iLuminate. The world is waiting for Your Light.
