A sanctuary dedicated to the healing and expansion of brown people .

At the sanctuary we love sharing small pieces of Costa Rica with the people who come through our doors. Sometimes that looks like waterfalls, cacao, or the sound of the jungle at night. Other times it looks like this.

This beautiful Costa Rican Boruca-style mask was lovingly made by our amazing friend Kimberly and gifted to one of our recent guests. In many Indigenous traditions here, masks carry the spirit of the land. They represent protection, storytelling, and the deep relationship between humans, nature, and the unseen world.

From time to time we offer these masks as gifts to our guests as a way of honoring their time here and acknowledging the spirits of this land that hold and guide the experiences at the sanctuary.

May the wisdom of Costa Rica travel with them long after they leave.

Bhakti (the yoga of devotion) is one of the 4 main paths of yoga.

It is a universal language and practice of devotion to the Divine expressed through devotional arts, communal service, prayerful meditation, scriptural study and more.

Bhakti invites us to find healing through service to the truth of the Heart - wherever it is, however it expresses itself.

We are holding space for devotees to deepen their connection and commitment to what resides within.

Join us in the Costa Rican countryside as we embody the spirit of bhakti through Heart-centred practices, connection with Nature, devotional creative expression and more!

What is it to lead a heart-centred life in devotion to one’s truth, the divine, or a calling?  This April, we will be exploring this question and more through the practices of bhakti yoga and an immersion into living the art of love in our day-to-day lives.🪷

Immerse yourself within as your heart finds its grounding in the Costa Rican jungle - we would love to welcome you home. 🌀

📿April 21st - 30th, 2026 📿

Sanctuary does not end at the walls of our modern treehouse in La Virgen, Sarapiquí.

It extends beyond the physical space of the sanctuary and into the living landscape that surrounds us. Waterfalls, jungle trails, sacred lands.

If you feel called to experience it for yourself, join us in March for one of our community retreats or inquire about experiencing a private retreat of your own.

DM us to begin.

Hands that feed, hands that receive.
Grateful to witness our amazing and loving cook Miriam receiving bodywork as part of our culture of care at the sanctuary.
May we all remember to tend to the ones who tend to us.

The mat opens the body.
The journal opens the heart.

Here at the Sanctuary, journaling is a practice of Svādhyāya, the sacred art of self-study.
Not self-judgment.
Not self-fixing.

Svādhyāya invites us to observe our inner landscape with curiosity and compassion, to witness our thoughts, emotions, and patterns as they arise, and to learn directly from lived experience.

We write to integrate what the body, breath, and spirit are revealing.

Presence leaves traces, and journaling helps us notice them.
This is where the practice continues, beyond the mat and into everyday life.

We started this rising off with some intentional movements before welcoming in some more guests for the Zen Silent Detox Retreat tonight. We are so ready to see what fruits this retreat will bring.

HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE❄️

Vision boards are cute.
Resolutions are familiar.
But FIRE changes things.
🔥
This January 5-10, 2026 we’re gathering for Fire & Alchemy — a silent retreat created for women who are done thinking about change and ready to embody it.
❤️‍🔥
This isn’t about writing intentions and hoping for the best.
🔥
This is about meeting the flame, releasing what no longer belongs to you, and transmuting it into power, clarity, and direction.
❤️‍🔥
In our fire ceremony, you don’t just witness transformation. You participate in it.
🔥
You name what’s ready to burn.
You honor what carried you this far.
And you step forward differently.
❤️‍🔥
If 2025 taught you anything, it’s that your next chapter won’t come from doing the same things louder.
🗣️
It comes from choosing yourself with courage. We’re not here to sell you a fantasy. We’re here to hand you the torch…when you’re ready to carry it.
🙏🏾
Like, Save, and share with a Sister that NEEDS to see this.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT…

gathered in circle at the and let fire do what it does best, transform.
❤️‍🔥
Each of us wrote down the thoughts, beliefs, memories, and experiences that have been quietly holding us back, patterns we have outgrown, stories we are ready to release. We offered them to the flame, not in anger, but in gratitude. Fire is not destruction, it is alchemy. It clears, it purifies, it makes room.
🔥
Then we wrote our activations. The habits we are ready to embody. The actions we are committing to. The ways we choose to move forward with more intention, more softness, more truth. Watching those words meet the fire was a reminder that letting go is an act of self love, and choosing again is power.
❤️‍🔥
There is something deeply healing about women coming together to witness one another’s release, to hold space, to trust the elements, and to remember that transformation does not have to be loud to be profound.
🔥
This is the essence of the work. This is the Rich Switch in practice. Release, restore, recalibrate.
🙏🏾
If this speaks to you, Brown Girl Yoga Tribe is hosting another silent retreat January 5th through the 10th, themed Fire and Alchemy. A sacred invitation to unplug, detox from noise, and allow real transformation to take place.
🧘🏽‍♀️
Sometimes the shift begins with a single spark.

Our Sanctuary schedule is intentionally designed to support full-body healing and integration. Each part of the day works together: slow mornings, embodied practices, nourishing meals, time in nature, inner work, and evening grounding rituals.

We create this structure so you can experience what it feels like to live inside your practice, not just visit it. The rhythms you learn here can easily be brought into your daily life, helping you maintain peace, presence, and direction long after you leave.

This is healing that follows you home.

Today in Costa Rica we pause to honor Día de la Abolición del Ejército — the day this country chose peace over militarization.
It’s one of the reasons this land holds such a unique frequency… a nation that made a collective decision to invest in education, nature, and community instead of war.
This holiday is a reminder that true strength doesn’t come from force… it comes from inner stability, compassion, and the courage to meet life with an open heart.

May the energy of this day ripple into our own lives:
Choosing peace.
Choosing presence.
Choosing to build something loving and life-giving with our time here on earth.

Just as meals nourish the body, reading nourishes the inner world.
Here at the Sanctuary, we create pockets of time for reflection, curiosity, and listening because the mind also deserves gentle, sacred care.
