A wellness retreat for
transformation and growth
Nosara, Costa Rica | May 15-19th, 2024
For many of us, there’s a gap between where we are and
where we want to be.
Now is the time to explore new options, reawaken our potential, and step toward the future we want to create and the elevated version of ourselves we want to become.

“Adapt Live was, without notice, everything that my inner being has been yearning. My insecurities and fears led me down a path to look for inspiration and “how-to’s” by searching and researching everything I could get my hands on…videos and podcasts, books and talks…over and over again. Perhaps in the chaos of searching, at some point, the answer even presented itself, but it was too diluted, and I couldn’t hear. Being present at this event was like downloading the clearest message, tailored personally for me right through my core.”
Nikki SalamiLos Angeles, CA
What if you could…
- Identify how and where you get stuck in habitual patterns that don’t serve you
- Create the conditions breaking through to a new way of being
- Learn new tools and practices for making progress and overcoming obstacles
- Invite new insights and perspectives that will help you to “cross the rubicon”
- Surround yourself with a community of like-minded, supportive people who are rooting for your success
This is exactly what Adapt Live is about.
It’s an opportunity to plant the seeds of transformation—in whatever area of your life you’re focused on.
We’ve partnered with Bee the Wellness—winner of Paleo magazine’s “Best Paleo Retreat” and experts in creating transformational experiences—to curate an exceptionally unique event just for you.
The setting is the boutique hotel Lagarta Lodge in Nosara Costa Rica. Perfectly placed amid rivers, beaches, and Pacific forest just 2.5 hours via our private shuttle from Liberia Airport (LIR).

Pre-retreat
Circle group
Once you’ve registered for the event, you’ll be invited to join an online group (using the Circle platform, which has all of the benefits and features of social media apps like Facebook but is entirely private). This will allow us to start getting to know each other and plant the seeds for a transformative event.
Setting intentions
We’ll ask you to consider your intention for the event: Where are you stuck? What shift or transformation do you want to create? How do you want your life to be different after the event compared to before?
Pre-event exploration and practice
We’ll also send you some brief things to read and watch to invite new perspectives and set the stage for the event.
At the retreat
All-inclusive
Your registration fee includes three carefully curated meals and snacks. Choose from a range of healthy and nutritious meals, each crafted with wholesome ingredients and accommodations for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and Paleo options.
Our approach to all-inclusive isn’t about quantity, but quality. We’ve tended to every detail of this weekend so that you can really and truly relax. No additional fees or upsells, no hurdles, nothing you weren’t ready for.
Breakthrough sessions with Chris & Guides
Each day you’ll participate in interactive sessions, co-facilitated by Chris and other guides, with practices and tools for becoming unstuck and moving toward the intention you created.
Don’t worry—we won’t be stuck in a conference room the whole time! Some sessions will be indoors, some will be outdoors, some will be stationary, some will involve movement. They’re designed to be engaging and experiential—after all, we can’t get unstuck by being stuck inside of a room the whole time!
Day 1: Explore
Your first day is about getting oriented, meeting each other, and exploring all that the weekend and the location have to offer. This is when we set intentions for what lies ahead and create the conditions for change.
Afternoon: Arrival, registration, and opening circle
Once you’ve registered and settled in, we’ll gather as a group to set intentions for the weekend and create the container for a powerful and transformative experience.

Embrace the concept of “radical self-care,” and discover ways to carve out moments of self-priority amidst the whirlwind of life.
After dinner: Closing Session, Variety Show and Celebration
We’ll finish our discussion about “radical self-care,” then conclude our time together by reflecting on our experiences at the event and offering ideas and support for integrating your insights and breakthroughs into your daily life.
As the stars light up the sky, immerse in a vibrant variety show. Revel in live music, dance to captivating tunes, and celebrate the shared journey of the retreat—a splendid culmination to every retreat day.

Chris’s vision for this weekend? A chance to gather together as a community and support each other in moving from where we are to where we want to be.
“The pandemic has forever changed our world. While it has created unique challenges, it has also created a unique opportunity, to reinvent ourselves, to grow and evolve, and to seize the chance to live our best lives. When I think of the biggest breakthroughs I’ve had in my life, they share a few things in common: they happened outside of the context of my daily life, in connection with nature, and in a community of supportive and like-minded people. That’s what we’ve created with the Adapt Live event. ” – Chris Kresser
