The Experience
Day 1
Arrival
Please land in Costa Rica (SJO) by 1PM local time.
By no later than 3PM, you’ll be flying private for a short 15 minute flight to a landing strip 25 minutes away from Imiloa.
In the customs line, or on the private charter, you’ll meet other Signature Reset guests. The magic of arriving as strangers, and leaving as friends, is well under-way.
When you arrive at Imiloa we will gather for delicious mocktails and enjoy a beautiful ocean sunset, before we have our first dinner together.
This evening we will have a sacred sound bath, to start connecting with our sense of sound and to step into the journey of this magical week ahead.
Day 2
Day of Sound
Your first full day at Imiloa will immediately ground you in your surroundings.
You will wakeup in either a 200 year old home from Bali, a Jungle Bungalow in the sloth sanctuary or along our river in a gorgeous Sacred Geodesic Dome.
After fresh fruits and juices to begin to cleanse and activate your body, you’ll have the option to go for a grounding morning meditation or straight to a healthy, delicious breakfast.
After breakfast there will be a journaling workshop which is optional to attend. We will have a nutritious lunch + free time or spa treatments in the afternoon to unwind and begin to reconnect you, with you.
This evening we will enjoy a gourmet plant-based meal and have an easy rest in the jungle.
Day 3
Day of Touch and Movement
Today is the day of Touch and Movement designed to get you out of your mind and into the body.
You will wake up to delicious fruits and juices to begin your day, followed by an invigorating Ecstatic Dance class.
After this immersive workshop we will gather for a lavish brunch at the Heart of Imiloa.
Enjoy a free afternoon where you might want to explore more options for movement. We recommend hiking our jungle trails, visiting our private waterfall for a refreshing dip, or maybe venturing down to the beach for a surf class or a relaxing afternoon in the waves. The choice is yours.
In the evening, after a gourmet plant-based meal and desserts to swoon for, a mystical journey through fire with Caribbean drummers will have you dancing beneath the stars.
Day 4
Day of Taste
Enjoy waking up slowly or start your day off with an energizing yoga class in the jungle.
Today is a day of taste. Imiloa is world famous for its cuisine, and today you get to peak behind the curtain.
The focus is on workshops in Ayurveda and plant based cuisine, explore Imiloa’s edible forest and permaculture with our gardeners and experience eating in a totally different way.
Workshops on gut health and other tasty delights will be offered.The Imiloa team starts to feel like family and the workshops with masters in their field open you up to new possibilities.
In the evening, we invite our Indigenous neighbors to offer native cacao in a ceremony. Cacao is a heart-opening plant medicine native to the land of Costa Rica, behind the Savegre Mountains, that Imiloa calls home.
Day 5
Day of Silence and Seeing
Today is the day where we focus on silence, to quiet our minds and enhance our other senses.
The invitation is to explore silence and let your time and experiences at Imiloa settle and integrate within you.
You’ll enjoy a silent morning with an incredible meditation exercise in the House of Masters followed by a silent breakfast.
Our workshop of the day is a sacred Blue Clay experience at our private waterfall. You will explore communication without words as you enjoy the healing properties of the blue clay followed by a refreshing cleanse in the river.
Until sunset we will respect the silence of this day. We invite you to take some time to journal, rest or enjoy a restorative spa treatment.
To close this week we will celebrate with a fun party at the beach, including sunset, live music/DJ, bonfire, dinner, snacks and drinks.
Day 6

We’ll meet for a nice morning yoga session before enjoying our last breakfast together.
We’ll depart Imiloa for the private planes at 10am. Please ensure your international flight home is booked no earlier than 1pm.
