ABOUT
Spring Awake
The Joy of the Jivanmuktah: Paths to awakening our essential nature through vitality, sexuality, & prosperity.
This annual retreat focuses on rejuvenating spiritual and physical vitality through deepening our connections to our body, breath, creativity. Ignite your personal passions, sexuality, creativity and connection to spirit. This retreat is designed to give the practitioners a chance to experience the vitality gained through connecting to the yoga of everyday life. Liberating some of the more taboo aspects of our human experience, our passion, sexuality and creativity, as a conscious vehicle on our path towards enlightenment. This annual retreat co-taught by Miriam and HaChi draw from the ancient traditions found in the 8 limbs of raja yoga and the buddhist teachings on lojong.
Blue Spirit Retreat Center provides a sacred oasis for this deep dive journey into retreat. During retreat you will have the option to partake in juice cleanses, as well utilize the multiple offerings of blue spirit to increase vitality through their longevity center and spa. Retreat is one of the most powerful ways to invoke deep change.
Jivamukti Yoga is an integrated practice that places compassion as the path towards enlightenment. The 5 tenets of practice are non-harming, devotion, deep listening, study, and meditation.In Buddhist study, shamatha is one of the first meditations we learn and is an ongoing practice we build upon. Also referred to as ‘calm-abiding’ or ‘single-pointed’ meditation.
These complementary systems are explored through physical practices that are intelligent, creative and awakening for the spirit.
HaChi & Miriam have grown up together walking the path as sisters, dancers, students and teachers. Through wit and wisdom and everyday joys these paths merge and the spirit is revealed once again. Miriam and Hachi offer this annual Spring Awaken Retreat reconnect to our inherent joy and love, these attributes are our birthright.

It is easiest to fly into Liberia, Guanacaste Airport (LIR)| Daniel Oduber Quiros Airport it is an international airport that is closest to Blue Spirit.
From there we can assist you in booking a shuttle to pick you up. Wait until closer to arrival date, we will coordinate with Blue Spirit and other students on retreat. But fill out the TRAVEL INFO FORM once you have booked your travel.
Alternatively, book your flight to arrive at San Jose Juan Santamaria Airport (SJO) however, the drive to Nosara is much longer (4+ hrs) but it can be arranged. Flights to San Jose can also connect you to Sansa Air and other domestic carriers for a short puddle-hopper single engine flight that takes you directly to the town of Nosara.
TIP: You’ll need to coordinate your timing and book these separately as the domestic carriers only have 1 or 2 flights a day and you need time to arrive/luggage/test/transfer at SJO.
Once you have booked your flight please fill out this TRAVEL INFO FORM – we will assist you in coordinating the Shuttle to/from Blue Spirit. **Please note, if you are arriving on dates that are not the arrival/departure dates of the SPRING AWAKE retreat. You may need to make your own arrangements. Please still fill out the TRAVEL INFO form so we can try to assist your best options for shuttle or taxi.
At this time no, but we suggest traveling with home rapid antigen tests – if needed they are accepted.
YOU MAY NEED BOTH. We suggest traveling with a home rapid antigen test as well, it is acceptable for test proof.
NO VISA IS NEEDED FOR TOURIST TRAVEL. We suggest you always purchase trip/travel insurance for programs like this, especially in these pandemic times. It’s the one that usually is optional when you purchase an airline ticket.
Not as of now. Blue Spirit is not allowing extensions – this is considered high season for them and the venue is fully booked week to week in general…. But that may change. If so, you’d need to book extra days directly with them.
