Contemplating Divorce? Second Chance Retreats in Costa Rica Lets Nature Take It's Course!

Marriage: To Stay or to Leave? Second Chance Retreats hosted in Costa Rica, The Happiest Place on the Planet

Rosemary Rein, Ph.D, A Certified Professional Coach, while lecturing in South America.

The Author of "Go Wild! Survival Skills for Business and Life" uses examples from Nature to highlight key elements of lasting relationships.

"I was simply awed in witnessing the thousands of penguin couples at the tip of South America who despite the deafening and competing calls of other penguins and after their long journey and time apart had managed to find each other again.  As I watched the paired penguins nestled in their warm sanctuary, it occurred to me that a little "penguin power" might just help couples find each other again after their long and challenging journey.  Perhaps the key is finding and listening to your partner's voice again and understanding there's no place like home".

                                 "Rosemary Rein, Go Wild! Survival Skills For Business, Life and Relationships"

Rein hosts personal growth, leadership and relationship retreats amidst the natural beauty of "Costa Rica" ranked this year as the Happiest Place on the Planet!

Using Nature, Ritual, Adventure and Brain Science, Rein has couples who are experiencing relationship challenges complete an NBI^TM Whole Brain Relationship Profile prior to their Tarzan and Jane Adventure amidst the beauty of tropical Costa Rica.  Although, couples spend most of their time together and alone on their  week-long retreat  in Costa Rica, 10 hours of their holiday are spent in relationship and communications coaching. It's a Learning Vacation all about Falling in Love again with nature and each other.

Women's Retreats in Costa Rica! Getting a Life Lift!

 

  I just talked this morning with my friend Kelli, (yellow blouse) who was with us on a recent week-long Women's Retreat  hosted in Costa Rica through www.retreatscostarica.com.   Kelli lived here in Central Valley  for 3 years on a corporate assignment before heading south for Buenos Aires for 3 years  and is now back in the U.S.  In this photo, some of the group is preparing to fly above the trees of the rain forest in a Zip-line across the forest canopy. 

Want to discover your Inner Jane?  Ziplining across the jungle when visiting Costa Rica is perfectly safe but requires a bit of faith, competent guides of course  and facing one's fears.  Once you've made it to the first platform, indeed like most challenges in life, you feel a growing confidence.  Kelli and I chatted fondly about the friendship that developed between the women during their week long personal retreat and vacation  in Costa Rica. The difference one week can make in life!   For these highly caring and skilled women it was a  week away from   taking care of everyone else to take care of themselves. A week away from being wives and mothers and daughters.  A week to combine both vacation and learning/self awareness with  bit of pampering in the tropics.  A week to relax, to think, to renew. A vacation for women who far too often do too much or now wonder what's next?

Who attend's Women's Retreats & Learning Vacations  in Costa Rica?  Many of our clients are women suddenly at a cross roads and transition.  Women whose children have gone off to school wondering what their next chapter will be;  women who perhaps after many years find themselves without a partner due to either death or divorce;  women who simply are bone tired and need a life lift of mind, body and spirit:. Women who want to jump-start their personal health and  wellness goals or new chapter in life  in one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

 "They are indeed Rainforest Butterflies"

Are you  or do you know of a  Woman who is suddenly Divorced, Widowed or at a Crossroads in Life? Are you planning a learning adventure with a group of female friends?  Consider Costa Rica.  It may be the most important item on your to Do List for 2009.  

 Why not   A "Week of No to Others and a Week of Yes for You" on Retreat in Costa Rica Paradise?

Mind Walks & The Nature of Inspiration in Costa Rica

Perhaps what I like most about living in Costa Rica is living in natures playground.  To be able to walk out your door each morning and take what I call a  " Morning Mind Walk".   Mind Walks are always a part of our retreats here in Costa Rica.  Participants love that they begin each day in paradise with a 30 minute walk with Mother Nature while focused on positive life intentions.  In fact, regardless of where you are, do pay attention to the first 15 minutes of your day when your mind is most open to positive programming. Your brain is the most powerful computer you will ever have and how you boot it up relates to the quality of your day. Spend time with nature, read something inspirational, pray.   Whatever will place you on solid ground for the day.  Do not watch CNN and certainly not Fox News first thing in the morning.  Energy goes downhill from there.

I first learned about the medicinal value of nature walks years ago when I attended Survival Camp in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey during a cold March weekend.  The school was hosted by the  Founder of the Tracker School, Tom Brown Junior.  I now admit to you, that back in The States before moving to Costa Rica, my idea of camping was the Holiday Inn.  However, my good friend Colleen said that since I really was going to move to the jungles of Costa Rica, I better get ready.   So there I was...one of  3 women amidst  50 big, burly  men with knives strapped to their legs.  HUA! Talk about a Learning Experience.    In fact that weekend prompted my study of wilderness survival and the authoring of "Go Wild! Survival Skills for Business and Life" recorded here in Costa Rica and published by Park University.

As you take focused mind walks in Costa Rica's natural playground, inspiration is everywhere;  trees and connections,and the transparent butterfly that wanders across your path.  But just don't walk on by!  Before my training in nature awareness , I missed the many tracks and signs of nature that were all around me.  Then I discovered that by  focusing on only one component at a time, or example bird calls or leaves, or tracks , my sensitivity and awareness increased dramatically and I saw those focal points with great intensity.

So go ahead, discover the Nature of Your Inspiration.  Take a Focused Nature Walk with Positive Intention.  Today the leaves, Tomorrow the clouds and the Day After whatever nature brings your way.

Note:  Mind Walks can also involve beginning your walk asking a question about a particular challenge and then seeing where your mind travels as your feet do the walking.
