SHMONE retreat

A RETURN × HEALIGHTART EXPERIENCE

SHMONE

A small-group Jewish retreat in Santa Teresa

Connection · Adventure · Community

Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

This is for you if something in life has gotten a little distant.

For people doing well on the outside, but craving something slower, warmer, more human.

For people who miss being around good people without performing.

For people who want Jewish warmth without heaviness.

For people who want nature, movement, shared meals, Shabbat, and real conversation.

No performance required.

This is probably not for you if

  • You want a party trip
  • You want a packed tourist itinerary
  • You want a luxury vacation with no group connection
  • You do not want shared meals or group rhythm
  • You want forced spirituality
  • You need every moment to be rigidly planned
  • You are not open to participating in the group experience
