About us

Hi there! We’re Kim and Neil, two midlife adventurers who met, fell in love, and somehow decided building a life around retreats, travel, and adventure in Costa Rica was the next logical step.

Kim is the founder of Retreat Works and has spent her career designing, hosting, and facilitating events, including more than 500 retreats over the years. She now operates two retreat centers in Costa Rica, bringing people together from around the world for unique experiences, meaningful connections, and a whole lot of fun.

Neil retired after 23 years in the British military and brings a steady, practical, and grounded presence to the adventure.

Our retreats are relaxed, welcoming, a little adventurous, and very Pura Vida. We believe in great experiences, genuine connections, and not taking life too seriously. We can't wait to welcome you!
