“Disfruta el hermoso canto de la Selva”
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR HOST JORGELINA
“I grew up in Alta Gracia, Argentina. Since I was little I would walk to the nearest river and lay by the grass. I felt called by nature, the vibrant colors, the soothing music of the river and the breeze gently moving the leaves of the trees, the music of the birds, the supporting ground below with the beautiful sky above... all problems seemed to disappear. There was something about nature, and the vast space surrounding me that provided a sense of liberation. It was healing, I felt home within.
That is my purpose for this retreat. To invite you to embrace the journey of self-discovery through restorative environments, therapeutic landscapes, and healing gardens simply enjoying the healing power of nature. Through nature, we can open the door to our innate intelligence, awaken the sacred within, and notice how everything is linked by a common purpose, rhythm, and equilibrium.
When you immerse yourself in nature and all of its beauty, you can experience something deeply spiritual. That you allow the blissful quiet atmosphere, beautiful scenery, fresh clean air, brings a sense of wellbeing into your life. “
“The lodgepole pine cone is a curious thing. Squat and egg-shaped, the pine cone seals its symmetrical scales shut with a sticky resin, protecting precious seeds within.”

SALTWATER INFINITY POOL
The environmentally friendly saltwater pool located near the Main Building has views of the mountains and the jungle surrounding Blue Spirit. It has one-tenth the salinity of ocean water or one-third the salinity of human tears. You will enjoy the soft feel of the water, which is soothing to skin and hair and easier on eyes and noses than the water found in traditional chlorine pools.
WIRELESS INTERNET AT BLUE SPIRIT
Complimentary wireless service is available throughout the Main Building and all accommodations except for Eco-Cottages and Platform Tents. For your convenience as well, there is a single computer station located in the Lobby.
GUIONES BEACH
Blue Spirit sits atop of a hillside overlooking a three-mile-long white sand beach along the Pacific Ocean. Guiones beach is home to a Turtle Refuge, which preserves the flora and fauna along the entire length; no building is permitted.
The north and mid sections of Guiones beach offer great surfing to beginners and advanced alike. Blue Spirit is located at the quiet end of the beach, where swimming is easy, thanks to the gentle current. The 700-foot walk (220 meters) from Blue Spirit to the beach transverses lush grounds full of mango trees and coconut palms.
BLUE ZONE
—is a concept used to identify a geographic area of the world where more people live to be centenarians (past 100 years) than elsewhere. One of the world’s longevity hotspots is the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica – where Blue Spirit is located. Scientists and demographers have classified these longevity hotspots as having common healthy traits and life practices that result in higher-than-normal longevity.
AN AREA OF LONGEVITY IN THE AMERICAS
In 2005 Costa Rican demographer Dr. Luis Rosero-Bixby revealed that Costa Ricans who survive to the age of 60 “have the longest life expectancy of anyone in the world”. National Geographic funded an expedition, which confirmed Rosero-Bixby’s findings and discovered further that in the specific region of Nicoya, in the northwestern part of Costa Rica, residents were longer-lived even than other Costa Ricans, making it the zone of longevity in the Americas. Blue Spirit’s founder, Stephan Rechtschaffen MD, is teaching seminars on longevity and envisioning Blue Spirit to become in the next years one of the foremost places to learn more about longevity practices and to receive health treatments to promote your longevity and wellbeing.
Getting to Blue Spirit
The two international airports in Costa Rica are: Liberia International Airport (LIR – also called Daniel Oduber Quiros Airport) and San Jose International Airport (SJO – also called Juan Santamaria Airport). Both airports have frequent flights to and from all over the United States and Canada.
We recommend flying into Liberia International Airport (LIR), which has been recently expanded with increased numbers of flights from the US and Canada. It is only a two and a half-hour scenic drive from Blue Spirit Costa Rica, and has become a destination of many non-stop flights from several US cities (New York, Miami, Atlanta, Denver, and Houston).
Flying to San Jose International Airport (SJO) is also an option as sometimes flights from the US, Canada, or other parts of the world are less expensive or more direct than flying into Liberia International Airport (LIR). Getting to Blue Spirit from San Jose International Airport (SJO) by ground transportation however is more costly and can take 4 ½ hours.
