Sunfire Wellness Retreats
Sunfire Retreats offers holistic wellness retreats in Uvita, Costa Rica, focused on sober living, perimenopause and menopause support, and long-term health. Our programs are thoughtfully designed for men in recovery seeking sober support, and travel experiences, and for women looking for natural ways to manage hormonal changes and improve overall well-being. With expert-led fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness practices set in the heart of Costa Rica’s jungle and coastline, Sunfire Retreats is where people come to rest, reset, and reclaim their health—naturally and with intention.
Retreat. Reclaim. Renew.
At Sunfire, we offer more than just a break from the noise—we provide a reset for your body, mind, and spirit.
Our mission is to support people at pivotal moments in their lives—whether you're a man working to maintain sobriety and looking for connection without compromise, or a woman navigating the often-overwhelming changes of perimenopause or menopause. This is a place where you are not alone, and where shared knowledge, honest conversations, and expert support guide you back to your most grounded, vibrant self.
We are currently offering three focused retreat experiences:
1. Women’s Hormonal Wellness Retreat
For women in the transitional years of perimenopause and menopause, this retreat is a nurturing space for understanding your body’s changes, reclaiming energy, and accessing tools for emotional and physical resilience.
2. Sober Men’s Adventure Retreat
For men who are sober-curious, in recovery, or committed to living alcohol-free, this is a powerful opportunity to step into nature, strengthen your body, and reconnect with purpose and adventure—without judgment or pressure.
3. Longevity & Vitality Retreats for All
These retreats are for anyone—any age, any gender—who’s ready to return to health through movement, mindful living, and the healing power of nature.
This isn’t a place for plant medicine or yoga teacher trainings. At Sunfire, we keep things grounded and real. Our retreats are free of judgment and psychadelic experiences. You’ll find healthy food, compassionate experts, and a daily rhythm that helps you remember what it feels like to truly thrive.
Whether you’re hiking through the jungle, strength training on the beach, meditating by a waterfall, or just sharing stories over a nourishing meal—Sunfire is here to help you reconnect with your body, your joy, and your next chapter.
Come for clarity. Come for calm. Come to remember who you are becoming.
