The Bonfire Team is getting so excited about our upcoming Longacre Expeditions Costa Rica Wellness Retreat.   We have been visiting this area for the last 12 years – and it is incredible!
So what is a Wellness Lifestyle Immersion?  Quite simply you will live it as you learn it.
The Bonfire Program makes it easier for you to adopt the lifestyle of the healthiest people in the world.
 We will teach you the secrets to eating for extraordinary health – and show you how to do it. You’ll discover how to move to increase vitality and energy.  And, of course, you will discover the keys to creating a healthy thought-life…break your stress cycles, restore peace and harmony and design the life that you want to live.
Each day in this raw tropical paradise will be filled with life-changing lessons, classes, adventures and fun!
Each day will be unique and varied.  You’ll enjoy  Morning Rituals, Yoga, “Classroom-Time” (over-looking the Pacific), Surf Lessons, Cooking Classes, incredible meals, Journaling, Functional Training, Resting, Relaxing and much, much more.
This is a “teach, show, do” experience.  You will learn it, live it and love it. 
Watching people, families and homes transform their lives by transforming their lifestyles…in paradise.  It doesn’t get better than that.  I love my job!

Of course most meals will include the legendary pinto de gallo-beans and rice!

WELLNESS LESSONS/MEAL PREP
Each day we incorporate a specific wellness topic led by Dr. Stephen Franson and the Bonfire Health Team. Although each element of the trip will have a wellness motivation, these sessions will aim to answer questions and spark interests, and create a thriving wellness community.

SURFING
Travelers come from all over the world to surfing the swells of the Playa Negra region. Our certified surf instructors will pass on their years of tidal knowledge and ocean safety, making for a fun-filled week on the coast. Totally Epic!
