Recalibration
Retreat
Retreat Description
The Zen Commando Recalibration Retreat is a five-day immersive experience set in the tranquil jungles of Costa Rica. It is designed to help participants find balance and harmony in their mind, body, and spirit. Each day is centered on practices like meditation, breathwork, exercise, and yoga, which assist in aligning participants with the natural environment's rhythms and cultivate a deep sense of peace and clarity.
The retreat’s learning modules focus on enhancing self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and connection. Participants gain theoretical knowledge and practical tools that empower them to better relate to themselves, their surroundings, and each other, alas, “The Three Rings of Relationships.” Daily sessions help build resilience and foster mindful living, allowing guests to experience greater inner harmony and a renewed connection to nature.
The cuisine is a highlight of the experience, with organic, plant-based meals prepared by an onsite chef using fresh, local ingredients. These meals are not just nourishing but are designed to be part of the mindful journey toward holistic wellness.
The final day is a joyous celebration of connection and reflection, featuring a visit to a local market and an excursion to the beautiful Dominical Beach. The Zen Commando Recalibration Retreat offers more than a break—it's a transformative journey toward inner peace, clarity, and a deeper sense of self, leaving you feeling uplifted and connected.

I served in U.S. special operations for over 20 years, five of those in direct line of combat. After military service, I spent time in the corporate and private trenches of Silicon Valley, California, where I learned how to operate in a new, technology-driven battlefield. Now, based in the serene jungles of Costa Rica, I guide transformative and life-changing experiences at Camp Zen Commando, a total mind-body adventure camp.
