Tai Chi Retreat in Costa Rica (February 18–23, 2026) hosted by Awaken Mastery
The retreat emphasizes nourishing the body with "vibrant, fresh local foods" that are natural, seasonal, and restorative
While food and accommodation are an additional cost beyond the $699 tuition, the organizers specify that detailed meal plans and package options are provided immediately upon registration.
Given the focus on "vibrant, fresh, and restorative" local Costa Rican cuisine, providing lacto-vegetarian meals (no meat/eggs, but including dairy) is very common and easily accommodated in this setting.
Retreat Highlights
* The Instructor: You will be studying under Master Ismet Himmet, a world-renowned Wudang Daoist adept. This is a rare opportunity to learn Wudang Taijiquan and Internal Alchemy from a high-level lineage holder.
* The Schedule: A balance of "Movement, Stillness, and Presence." You’ll have morning training sessions, free time in the afternoon to explore the rainforest or beaches (Playa Barrigona, Samara), and evening sessions featuring Taoist talks and further practice.
* Location: Samara, Costa Rica—set in a sanctuary of untouched rainforest near pristine beaches.
Costs & Registration
* Tuition: There is currently a "Founder’s Incentive" price of $699 (regularly $999).
* Additional Costs: Please note that accommodation and food are separate. Once you register or express formal interest via their contact form, they will send you the specific pricing for the meal packages and lodging.
