The Costa Rican motto “Pura Vida” isn’t just a motto – it’s a conscious way of living. Simply translated, it means “simple life” or “pure life”. Pura Vida is a mindset which is all about being with the flow of things as they arise. Not surprisingly, Costa Rica has been named one of the Happiest countries in the world.
Pura Vida echoes our teachings at Meditate: School of Mindfulness & Sound. We are thrilled to bring our program to the beautiful Retreat Center that itself is called Pura Vida Retreat & Spa.
We are delighted to invite you to join Us on this amazing 7-Day Certification Retreat, centered around Sound, Vibration and the Pura Vida way of life……
YOUR RETREAT…YOUR WAY
There are 3 options when it comes to attending The Pura Vida Retreat:
Levels 1 & 2: Sound & Vibrational Therapies Certification
Level 3: Advanced Sound & Vibration Therapies Certification*
The Pura Vida Retreat – Refresh, Rejuvenate and Retreat
Option 1:
Levels 1 & 2 – Sound & Vibrational Therapies Certification
Meditate: School of Mindfulness & Sound is bringing our WORLD CLASS Sound & Vibrational Certification Course to beautiful Costa Rica and… turning it up a notch!!!
We are excited to offer this in-depth Training in Sound & Vibrational Therapies in combination with our famous “Pura Vida Retreat.”
Level 1 is our Foundational Certification Course that is centered around the science and therapies of the practice when used for groups, as well as introduction to the various instruments we use in the Sound Sessions (Sound Bath, Sound Nidra, Sound Healing).
Level 2 moves deeper into the therapeutic uses of sound working with individuals and specific groups. This section is VERY hands-on, and teaches various protocols using Tuning Forks, Vibrational Drums, and Himalayan Bowls on the Body.
Option 2:
Level 3 – Advance Sound & Vibrational Therapies Certification
Our Level 3 training is usually offered as a 5 day in person, immersive training that adds deeper levels of study in the practice, including 10 hours of Gong Training, Weighted Tuning Forks, Additional Drum Therapies, Somatics and Sound Nidra, and so much more.
Additionally, you will be part of The Pura Vida Retreat and have the opportunity to explore, refresh and retreat in this beautiful place.
*Levels 1 & 2 are required to have been taken at least 6 weeks prior to attending Level 3
