Men's Surf, Breathwork & Jungle Adventure Retreat in Costa Rica

The retreat runs from November 6 to 13, 2026, based at La Selva Armonia in Uvita. You fly into San José (SJO), and a shuttle picks you up at 10:00 am on day one, arriving at the venue between 2:00 and 4:00 pm. The same shuttle takes you back on departure day. The venue is about 210 km from the airport, roughly a 3.5-hour drive through the mountains.

Each day has a similar shape but different content. There's optional breathwork, meditation, and intentional movement early, then breakfast. Mornings are for workshops — things like conscious masculinity, how the mind works, authentic leadership, and nervous system regulation. Afternoons are for adventures: surf lessons with the team's instructors, a zip-line canopy tour, jungle moto rides, or contrast therapy. Evenings finish with a fire or integration circle where you talk through what came up.

The two facilitators bring very different backgrounds. Josh Munk has worked with cannabis and plant medicines for nearly 30 years, built and lost businesses, and now teaches practical techniques for consciousness and embodiment. He's certified through the ILCF and The Conscious Coaches Academy, and is a certified yoga instructor. Rick Koekoek is a former BMX athlete with 9 Guinness World Records and has coached the Dutch national and Olympic BMX teams. He's ridden across skyscraper rooftops in Hong Kong and along the Great Wall of China. His sessions focus on how you respond under pressure — not theory, but real moments of uncertainty.

The location itself is a big part of the week. Uvita sits on the Bahía Ballena coastline, just north of the Osa Peninsula, which holds 3-5% of the world's biodiversity. The venue is in the jungle mountains with ocean views, and you'll hear howler monkeys and see toucans. Nearby you can visit waterfalls, go horse riding, stand-up paddleboarding, or wildlife watching.

What makes this different from a typical men's retreat is the adventure component. You're not just sitting in circles. You're surfing, zip-lining, and riding motos through the jungle, then processing those experiences in the workshops. The idea is that challenge and reflection go together. The group is capped at 20, so it stays small enough for real conversation. It's for men who want to step away from their normal environment and spend a week with others doing the same.
