2 km Este de plaza de San Salvador Hotel, Vajra Jahra, San José, Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica
The Art of Bliss is a 7-day women's retreat in Costa Rica's Diamante Valley, August 2 to 8. It begins gently: fly in a day early to a boutique hotel (additional cost), then a charter flight down the coast to Manuel Antonio and lunch near the beach before arriving at Vajra Jahra, a private sanctuary at the foot of Costa Rica's tallest waterfall. This week was designed to feed your soul. Mornings that start with birdsong instead of alarms. Whale watching in Bahía Ballena, a secret waterfall, a blue clay ritual deep in the rainforest. Farm fresh meals prepared from ingredients grown in the valley around you. And in between, something rare: space. Space to breathe, to wander, to feel inspiration find you again. Woven through it all is the R³ framework, Regenerative vs. Depleting Living, guided by Gretchen Fox Palmer, a gentle practice for noticing what fills you and what drains you, and choosing differently.
Hosted by Avia Collective.
Avia Collective is an experience design studio creating transformative retreats, gatherings, and place-based experiences rooted in meaningful human connection, embodiment, and a deeper relationship with place. While much of our work has been shaped by the wild landscapes and regenerative communities of Costa Rica, Avia Collective has a strong tether to Texas. Austin is part of our story, our community, and the network of women, founders, creatives, and experience-makers we have grown alongside for years. Kenshō Stables, tucked into the Texas Hill Country outside Austin, has become a natural home for that expression of Avia’s work. The ranch offers something increasingly rare: space to get out of the city, into the body, and closer to the land without traveling halfway across the world. Our gatherings at Kenshō bring the spirit of Avia home to Texas—pairing the depth and intentionality of a destination retreat with the accessibility of a weekend gathering. Through experiences like FORGE and future community events, we are creating an ongoing place for women to gather, reconnect with themselves and one another, and explore what becomes possible when we make room for more aliveness, expression, courage, and connection. For us, Kenshō isn’t simply a venue. It is partner in the ecosystem we are building: a Texas home base for community, ritual, movement, nature, and experiences that bring people back to what feels most alive in them.
