"Where Heaven and Earth Meet" Retreat in Costa Rica with Kathianne Lewis, DD
September 9 – 14, 2026
Prereqisite: Completion of Beyond Limits or Foundations
Kathianne Lewis, DD invites you to join her final retreat before retirement, an extraordinary experience set at the breathtaking eco-luxury retreat sanctuary, Verdesana by Imiloa, in Cartago Province, Costa Rica.
Join Kathianne September 9-14 and bask in luxurious first-class amenities, gourmet vegetarian cuisine, and sacred time to activate your own inner wisdom. She’s named this unforgettable experience “Where Heaven and Earth Meet” because you will be inspired by Christian mysticism as well as earth-based spirituality.
This intimate retreat is designed as a soulful pause — a chance to reconnect with yourself, be immersed in nature’s beauty in a fairytale forest land, and experience a deeper conscious connection to Source. Each day blends restorative practices, meaningful conversations, and spacious time to simply be, as well as a course of study in Mysticism. The program will be held within the comfort of the Verdesana (translates to “Green Healing”) world class eco-luxury retreat sanctuary.
If you’ve been longing for a journey that nourishes your body, inspires your spirit, and marks a beautiful new chapter, this is your moment. Costa Rica is calling and Kathianne would be honored to share this final adventure with you.
With only 20 spots available—and interest already exceeding capacity—this retreat is expected to fill quickly. Don't miss your chance to be part of this deeply transformational final journey with Kathianne!
Contact our Registrar at 206.527.8801 or Registrar@SpiritualLiving.org to reserve your spot!

Flights & Airport Transfers
Please book your international flight to San Jose International Airport (Airport code: SJO).
Arrival Day: Sep 9, 2026
Our private ground transportation will depart from SJO international airport at 2:00PM on the arrival day of your retreat. Please account for time to go through customs and immigration. This process can take as little as 15 min and as much as 2.5 hours depending on the day at the airport and how busy it is. It is recommended to choose a flight that gets to San Jose early (no later than 12:00PM). After you exit the airport, we will have a representative waiting for you with an Imiloa sign, and the representative will guide you to the domestic terminal (5 minutes walking distance from the international arrivals) where you will wait with the rest of your group for departure at 2:00PM.
If you are already in Costa Rica you will simply need to show up at the domestic terminal entrance at 1:30PM. The domestic terminal is very small and you will have no problem meeting our representative and the rest of your group here.
Departure Day: Sep 14, 2026
On departure day, you will arrive back at the San Jose international airport around 11:00AM. For connecting international flights, we recommend 1:00PM onward.
