Retreat · Costa Rica
Out of survival mode. Into self-leadership.
Costa Rica Retreat
This retreat is for people whose life seems to work on the outside, while tension, pressure or exhaustion have become noticeable within. Within a consciously held space, we work with: • ontological coaching • nonverbal communication • embodied presence work • energetic support The goal is not short-term motivation, but a lasting shift in perception, self-leadership and decision-making. In the powerful nature of Costa Rica, space opens up for your nervous system to regulate and for new inner clarity to become possible. Transformation does not happen here through concepts, but through experience.
When functioning has become a habit
Many people live in survival mode. They carry a lot, do a lot, and lose connection to themselves in the process.
This retreat creates a conscious space where your nervous system is allowed to regulate and new inner clarity can emerge.
This is not about optimization. It is about self-leadership. Not about withdrawing from life. But about a conscious realignment.
The retreat process
From survival mode to self-leadership
This retreat is not a program to simply “switch off”, but a clearly guided experiential process.
Step by step, a space unfolds in which your nervous system can regulate, old patterns become visible, and a new inner orientation becomes possible.
1. Arrive & regulate
From the mind into the body
At the beginning, this is not about change, but about safety.
Through breathwork, practices and embodied presence, your system begins to move out of chronic survival mode and into regulation. Only when the body feels safe can real clarity emerge.
2. Recognize patterns
Self-awareness instead of autopilot
In this phase, inner programs become visible: over-adaptation, performance pressure, old roles.
Not to analyze them, but to consciously recognize them. Awareness is the first step out of automatism.
3. Let go & clear within
Questioning core beliefs
What has been driving you until now? Which inner convictions keep you small?
Through ontological coaching, process work and energetic support, we work at the level where behavior is created. Not at the level of symptoms, but at the root.
4. Self-connection & relationship
Real presence instead of adaptation
As inner pressure begins to soften, space opens for genuine connection, with yourself and with others.
In the nature of Costa Rica, you can begin to feel what clarity and spaciousness are like in the body.
5. Integration & alignment
From experience into action
In the end, this is not about a beautiful feeling, but about change in everyday life.
You leave with: • clearer decisions • a more stable inner posture • more self-leadership • concrete next steps Not euphoric, but grounded.

Impressions
Guidance & space holding
This retreat is held jointly by Nina and Corinne.
A space in which you are allowed to slow down. A space in which perception, encounter and inner processes can unfold without pressure, without expectations, without predefined paths. The nature of Costa Rica, its quietness and its rhythm shape the quality of this retreat: mindful, grounded and held by the moment.
Corinne Vanarelli
For many years, Corinne has been accompanying people through phases of personal change and inner reorientation.
Her background brings together many years of experience in social work, ontological coaching and integrative process work. In addition, she works with methods from energetic consciousness work that include the body, perception and inner processes.
Her approach is not aimed at changing or optimizing people, but at creating spaces in which clarity, self-connection and authentic decisions can emerge.
Nina
Nina brings approaches from nonverbal communication into the shared work. She has lived in Costa Rica for many years and is deeply connected to the rhythm and nature of this place.
Her guidance is shaped by a calm, clear presence, fine perception and a deep trust in natural inner processes.
Together, Nina and Corinne create a space in which people can feel safe enough to truly meet themselves.
Many people come to this retreat because they sense that their outer life still works, while something inside them is calling for more depth
What can shift through this retreat
What may open during this time is often difficult to put into words. And yet many people describe similar experiences after such processes:
- more calm in the nervous system
- clearer awareness of your own needs
- more trust in your own perception
- less inner pressure to keep functioning
- a deeper sense of connection – to yourself and to life
Not because this retreat “fixes” anything. But because space is created in which your inner world is allowed to reorder itself.
Many people do not leave this time only with memories – but with a different quality of clarity, presence and inner stability. Something that continues to work in everyday life.
