The sweet spot retreat


Costa Rica Purpose Accelerator

26th of February - 6th of March, 2025.

Hello friend, your presence is requested at a life-changing retreat in the jungles of Costa Rica.

BREAKTHROUGH TO your PURPOSE

The Sweet Spot Purpose Retreat is a small group 8-day integrated full-body experience led by three expert facilitators.

On the Sweet Spot Retreat we don't use any substances, this is a pure journey to our core using body, mind, emotions, spirit and relationship.

Together we will tune into the frequency of life: the jungle will lead you to your core, to your essence, to rediscover your true self and feel into your higher purpose. This is your Sweet Spot – where life flows through you in an electrifying and joyful way.

This experience will guide you to the work you need in order to create fulfillment in your life.

Over eight life-changing days, you will be immersed in nature, guided by experienced mentors, and surrounded by a supportive community, all designed to help you unlock your greatest potential and lead with purpose.

The Path to Your Sweet Spot

Step 1: Cultivate Presence and Awareness

Begin your journey in the nurturing embrace of the jungle where your body, mind, and spirit are rejuvenated. Start each day with invigorating morning yoga, nourishing vegetarian meals, and the vibrant energy of the natural world. This immersive environment will heighten your senses, allowing you to connect deeply with your purpose and the collective energy of life.

Step 2: Transform and Empower

Delve into time-tested healing practices and transformational experiences. Learn to harness your intuition, overcome limiting beliefs, and transform your emotions into powerful tools for leadership. Participate in a sacred temezcal ceremony, an ancient sweat lodge ritual, to purify and renew your body, mind, and spirit. This step is about activating your unique gifts and supporting the collective growth of your retreat community.

Step 3: Align and Integrate

Conclude your transformational journey with real-time integration practices. Recalibrate your energy in nearby waterfalls and volcanic hot springs, and master techniques to manifest and sustain your leadership energy. A closing ceremony will solidify your newfound insights and connections, preparing you to live your new life with clarity and purpose.

Anna Gannon - Yoga, Energy Work, Intuitive Development Coaching

She has worked with world-class CEOs, Harvard alumni and faculty members, doctors, entrepreneurs, teachers, construction workers, healers, coaches, parents, students, financial advisors, energy workers, and more. Her intention has remained the same for everyone: that they leave their time with her truly trusting and loving themselves more.

Through yoga, Anna guides her students deep within their bodies, inviting them to discover softness within their strength, ease in the midst of challenge, and the ability to find new, unique pathways of connection with their body and energy. Her yoga is most similar to a vinyasa-style flow that focuses on movement, breath, meditation, a curated playlist, and a sprinkle of fun.

Through thousands of Hypnotherapy / Coaching hours being with people, Andrew has created his own way of working with clients to help them create meaningful lives, guided by Truth.

Andrew combines 15 years of experience inside of startups, marketing agencies and embassies with a vast array of healing practices including Hypnotherapy, Coaching, Embodiment, Breath-work, Somatic work, and more.
