Come Home to Yourself Body at Ease. Full Heart. Quiet Mind. Living in Essence. A nondual meditation retreat in Costa Rica at Imiloa Institute. Imagine yourself in the lush embrace of Costa Rica—where jungle mountains touch the sea, and each day begins with the sound of tropical birdsong and the stillness of dawn. This 7-day luxury retreat at Imiloa Institute is an invitation to step away from the demands of daily life and enter an atmosphere of deep rest, renewal, and awakening. Whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this retreat will meet you where you are. Together, we will explore the nondual heart of meditation—a timeless wisdom that underlies the great contemplative traditions. Through guided practice and self-inquiry, you’ll be introduced to an ancient map of meditation—one that opens a path through body, psyche, and spirit toward the very ground of awakening. You’ll discover how to meet life’s challenges—emotions, beliefs, memories, pain, or trauma—while opening into deeper dimensions of peace, joy, and freedom. With over 55 years of dedicated practice and teaching, Richard Miller shares a rare blend of wisdom, clarity, and compassion. His approach will help you create a sustainable daily meditation practice or deepen the one you already cherish—so that meditation becomes not just something you do, but a way of living awake to your Wholeness. Join Richard in Costa Rica for this rare and precious time of practice, community, and self-discovery—an experience that will continue to unfold within you long after you return home

Imiloa is a private, intercontinental institute for the education and advancement of human beings. Immersed in the Costa Rican jungle just north of Dominical, deep in the Savegre Mountains and overlooking the Pacific Ocean, we offer group experience in eco-luxury, gourmet plant based cuisine and a campus that feels more like a national park than a retreat center.

Meals at Imiloa are more than nourishment—they are an extension of the retreat. Expert chefs prepare vibrant, plant-based dishes that are as filling and flavorful as they are restorative. Every meal is colorful, seasonal, and crafted with care to support both your body and your experience. Guests consistently rave about the food—including those who normally eat meat and dairy—often calling it one of the most memorable parts of their stay. In addition to three abundant meals each day, you’ll enjoy access to the freshest fruit and satisfying snacks between meals. Special dietary needs—vegan, gluten-free, or allergen-sensitive—are gladly accommodated, ensuring every guest feels cared for. Note: Imiloa is a dry campus. Alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana are not aligned with the property values and are prohibited.
