Testimonial- Juliana, Brazil
"I love this week at Los Nogales! Amber and Jairo are wonderful retreat leaders, they made us feel seen and heard. All the days at Nogales were beautiful and well planned. We had themed yoga classes with the 4 elements that coincide with the activities for the day and that was a good way to bring more awareness to every activity.
During this week I was able to see that I should be more in tune with my intuition and listen to my heart. In this fast paced world we live in, sometimes it is very hard to listen to your own needs and not compare yourself with others. Unfortunately, I tend to do that, and once I arrived at the Los Nogales I was able to feel almost immediately that all that pressure was gone. I was able to reset, as well as change some of my habits. It’s almost like a new chance to restart fresh everyday. I’ve learnt that I need to take better care of myself and be more kind with myself. But I honestly cannot express with words how wonderfully magical this time at the Los Nogales was. You have to experience it with your own eyes!"

Meet your retreat leaders
Amber, United States
Jairo, Nicaragua
Amber and Jairo are a married couple with adventurous spirits and giving hearts. After they married in Costa Rica in 2022, they decided to do what they love most together- travel! So they hit the road in their 1971 Combi Volkswagen with a loud call to explore Macizo Peñas Blancas. It was immediately clear that they had a mission to bring others to this healing & sacred land.
The Harmonize Retreat was organically born through a love for the forest, the warmth of the people, and a passion for showing others how it feels to live in harmony with nature and your true essence.
Amber is originally an elementary school teacher from Arizona, but started a new life in Costa Rica in 2019 when she signed up for her 200 YTT (yoga teacher training). She stayed in Costa Rica and dove head first into creating her own yoga business, Flow with Amber. She has taught public and private classes, developed and led her 7 day Chakra Workshop Series, held women's circles, retreats and a variety of other events! She even ran her own Yoga Studio and Wellness Center in Playa Samara to create conscious community. After completing her Sacred Spaces Facilitator training she had a new dream to begin hosting retreats. In 2023 she moved to Nicaragua and led her first Harmonize Retreat. She knew that this was her new path!
Jairo is a man of many trades from Jinotepe, Nicaragua. He was a single father of 3 kids living between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Now that the kids are all grown up, he loves to travel in his Combi van and partake in exciting projects wherever he goes! He has been everything from a carpenter, to a baker, a building project manager, a hostel owner, and now a retreat leader! His warm and charming personality makes you feel at ease and his experiences have brought him vast knowledge to share with others. He is passionate about his country and about protecting nature and animals. He is a one of a kind!
Amber will create a safe container for you to harmonize your mind, body, and spirit with daily yoga, meditation, and a variety of group bonding activities. Jairo will familiarize you with his rich Nicaraguan culture as he accompanies you on nature tours and helps translate the various cultural exchanges you'll encounter during the week. Together we make a conscious team of retreat guides and nature keepers. We can't wait to spend a magical week with you at Macizo Peñas Blancas.
When Don Chico and his family discovered the rainforest in Macizo, they saw a great opportunity for grazing land, as well as a place to grow coffee and banana trees. This of course meant that they'd have to cut acres and acres of forest to start benefitting from their new land. After clearing the land, they still struggled to survive as the coffee industry wasn't paying as they expected.
One day Don Chico woke up and saw just how much destruction they had done- killing trees, poisoning the water, and displacing many animals from their habitats- and at what cost? He realized that their small benefit came with a much bigger consequence to one thing they all relied on- nature. He suddenly wanted to reverse the effects. With this big decision and shift in mindset, he told his family that they were going to let nature take back what was hers.
With hands off, slowly the nature started to reclaim the land. As soon as they gave the opportunity back to Mother Nature, she began her own process to recover her forest. The death of thousands of trees was now the fertile soil for the birth of the secondary forest. From the ants and the birds to the sloths and the jaguars, each played a significant role to bring balance back to the land. With patience and wisdom, harmony was restored.
Now when you visit Macizo you can see Don Chico at 84 years old, whistling and milking his cows before he gets ready to take new visitors on their 6 hour hike through the nature reserve. He walks this forest with pride for helping save her- the one that gives pure life to his family and community.
Sometimes when we think of only our own benefit, we can't see how our decisions are impacting the greater good. Nature is what sustains us. In the most chaotic moment of your life, I guarantee you're the most disconnected from nature. Nature shows us how to live in perfect harmony. Nature heals. Nature teaches us that force and personal gain will only bring us farther from ourselves.
Our hope is that our Harmonize Retreat will teach you that it's never too late to recover your connection with your most pure and true essence- your nature.
So what's the inspiration behind Harmonize?
