Digital Detox Retreat

About the Retreat
This retreat is your invitation to unplug from the noise and plug back into yourself. In the lush jungle of Playa Chiquita, you’ll trade screen time for sunrise yoga, waterfall hikes, reflection circles, and nourishing meals straight from the land.
Each day, guided by Shambu & Brittnee, you’ll reset your nervous system, breathe deeper, and remember what it feels like to be fully present. You’ll leave not only refreshed, but carrying practical tools to help you sustain clarity, balance, and true connection long after you return home.
