Waves of Harmony — A Retreat for Parents Who Have Lost a Child

There is no right way to grieve the loss of a child. There is no timeline, and there are some things that simply cannot be put into words.

But there can be something powerful about being surrounded by people who understand without needing an explanation.

Each year, we open our home at Vida Asana for Waves of Harmony, a retreat created specifically for parents who have experienced the loss of a child.

For a few days in Costa Rica, we come together in a safe and loving space—to rest, to remember, to share when we want to share, to be quiet when we need to be quiet, and simply to be with others who understand this kind of loss.

There is yoga and meditation, nourishing food, time in nature, conversation, laughter, tears, and space for whatever comes.

This is not about “moving on.” It’s about making room for grief, love, memory, and connection.

We have a few spaces remaining for this year’s Waves of Harmony retreat in late September.

If this feels like something you need—or you know a parent who might need it—please reach out to us.

You don’t have to carry it alone. ❤️

If you’re reading this, I want you to know something someone probably doesn’t say to you enough:

I’m really glad you’re here.

Life can be unbelievably heavy sometimes. People carry so much quietly worries, regrets, heartbreak, doubts about whether they’re enough. Most of it never gets spoken out loud.

But the fact that you’re still here, still trying, still moving forward in your own imperfect way… that’s a quiet kind of courage.

You might think your life is ordinary. But the truth is, every life touches other lives in ways we rarely get to see.

Someone remembers a kindness you showed them years ago.

Someone smiles when they think about something you once said.

Someone feels less alone because you existed in their world.

You don’t have to do anything extraordinary to matter.

You already do.

Wherever you are, whoever you are — I hope something good finds you soon. A moment of peace. A reason to laugh. A small reminder that life can still surprise you in beautiful ways.

And if today is hard, just remember:

The world would be a little less bright without you in it.

You are enough you’ve always been enough and you will always be enough. At Vida Asana we love you.

✨ A New Year at Vida Asana ✨

A new year arrives the same way everything does here slowly, quietly, with space to breathe.

The jungle is still humming.
The ocean is still doing what it does best.
And we’re still here, grateful beyond words.

We don’t start over.
We continue
with a little more honesty,
a little more softness,
and a deeper listening to what really matters.

Thank you to everyone who has walked this land,
rested in these rooms,
shared meals, tears, laughter, practices, and pauses.
You are forever part of this place.

May this year meet you gently.
May you give yourself permission to slow down.
And may you remember that you don’t have to go far to come back to yourself.

We love you
Vida Asana 🌿🌊

Hola comunidad. Queremos celebrarle la vida a Fede, nuestro gran amigo y co-fundador de Costas Verdes.

Tenemos el recuerdo fresco de su sonrisota cuando iba liderando grupos hacia el campo de siembra. Siempre será una inspiración.

Hacemos esta invitación abierta para los que quieran acompañarnos a honrar su legado

Many of you who have visited Vida Asana over the years will remember this amazing soul Federico Gutierrez. We spent five years along with retreaters at Vida Asana reforesting the beaches of Playa Hermosa. Planting thousands of trees as part of it was a beautiful and very successful project. It was driven by his amazing passion. For many years he was also our guide on tours to Rainmaker. We’re sad to learn of his passing. If you remember him, I encourage you to go plant something today. RIP Hermano. I pray you are back flipping off a waterfall, or ripping@on some beautiful waves in the next world.

We believe balance begins with simplicity. A gentle reset through a nourishing plate, a mindful stretch, and a quiet moment by the pool.
