BECOME THE VISION
Awaken to the Life Calling You
New Year’s Meditation Retreat with Michael B. Beckwith
December 29, 2026 – January 2, 2027
Reunion Wellness Resorts & Retreats | Costa Rica
Five days of meditation, spiritual practice, renewal, and conscious intention on Costa Rica’s breathtaking Guanacaste Coast.
Step away from the momentum of the year behind you and enter the year ahead grounded in clarity, possibility, and a deeper awareness of who you are becoming.
A NEW YEAR ASKS SOMETHING NEW OF YOU
Yesterday’s identity cannot carry you into a new season.
There is a moment at the threshold of every new year when we are invited to consider more than what we want to accomplish.
We are invited to ask:
Who am I becoming?
What am I ready to release?
What no longer reflects the life I am here to live?
And what is seeking to emerge through me now?
Too often, we enter a new year carrying forward the same momentum, habits, expectations, and ways of being—hoping that a new calendar will somehow create a new experience.
But transformation begins differently.
It begins when we become still enough to listen.
When we loosen our attachment to who we have been.
When we create space for a greater expression of ourselves to emerge.
This New Year, you are invited to begin there.
YOU LIVE IN A FIELD OF INFINITE POSSIBILITY
Your future is not determined by your past.
At the heart of Michael Beckwith’s teachings is a profound spiritual principle:
You are not confined by your history.
You are not defined by circumstances.
And you are not limited to the possibilities you can currently see.
There is within you an Intelligence greater than the conditioned mind—a deeper awareness capable of revealing possibilities beyond anything you could manufacture through effort alone.
When the noise becomes quiet, you can hear it.
When old patterns loosen, something greater can emerge.
When consciousness expands, your relationship to your life begins to change.
You move from simply asking:
“What do I want this year?”
to a far more powerful question:
“What is Life seeking to become through me?”
This is the foundation of our time together.
Not simply setting resolutions.
Cultivating the consciousness from which a new life can emerge.
A SACRED PAUSE TO REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE
Five days to release, restore, listen, and begin again.
Join Michael B. Beckwith for an intimate New Year’s Meditation Retreat immersed in the extraordinary natural beauty of Costa Rica.
This is not just a vacation.
And it is not only about creating a longer list of intentions for the year ahead.
It is a deliberate pause from the demands, expectations, and momentum of everyday life—a sacred container in which you can reconnect with your inner life and become available to a greater vision.
“A retreat is really an advance.”
~Michael B. Beckwith
Through meditation, Michael’s teachings, Life Visioning Process™, yoga and conscious movement, reflection, nature, nourishing food, sacred community, music, celebration, and spacious time for rest, you will have an opportunity to realign mind, body, heart, and spirit.
To let the previous year complete itself.
To hear more clearly.
To reconnect with what matters.
And to cross the threshold into a new year consciously.
THE 5-DAY JOURNEY
From Release to Renewal to Inspired Vision
Each day builds upon the next, creating an intentional arc of reflection, awakening, embodiment, celebration, and live activations by Michael.
Come Home to Yourself
Leave behind the pace of everyday life and enter the sacred container of retreat.
Arrive. Exhale. Become present.
Through meditation, community, nourishment, and Michael’s opening teachings, we begin by creating the inner spaciousness necessary for something new to emerge.
Complete What Has Been
Before we can genuinely begin again, we must become willing to release what no longer belongs in the next expression of our lives.
Through meditation, reflection, spiritual practice, and teaching, you will be invited to lovingly examine the stories, patterns, expectations, and identities you are ready to leave behind.
Not through struggle.
Through gentle awareness.
Become Available to
a Greater Vision
As the mind becomes quieter and old momentum begins to fall away, deeper listening becomes possible.
Through Michael’s teachings and the Life Visioning Process™, we shift from asking the conditioned mind to design our future and instead become receptive to the greater intelligence of Life.
What is seeking to emerge?
What wants to express through you?
Who are you being called to become?
Become the Vibrational Match
Vision is not simply something we see.
It is something we become.
Through meditation, conscious movement, spiritual practice, and embodied teaching, we explore what it means to live from the frequency of the life we have been shown.
Our final evening together brings us into the New Year in loving community—with reflection, music, joy, connection, intention, and celebration.
Not simply counting down to midnight.
Crossing a threshold consciously, in sacred ritual.
Walk Forward Differently
The Retreat concludes with integration.
How do you carry your expanded awareness into ordinary life?
How do you maintain your spiritual practice when you return home?
How do you continue listening when the noise begins again?
You leave not simply with inspiration, but with practices, awareness, and a renewed relationship with yourself to support the year ahead.

Greater Alignment With Your Purpose
Reconnect with what gives your life meaning and the unique gifts seeking fuller expression through you.
A Vision for the Year Ahead

WHY COSTA RICA
Let Nature Help You Remember
There are environments that naturally ask us to slow down.
Costa Rica is one of them.
The lush tropical landscape, Pacific Ocean, warm air, open skies, and extraordinary biodiversity create a setting in which the nervous system can soften and attention can turn inward.
Here, the natural world becomes part of the retreat.
Morning air.
Ocean sunsets.
Birdsong.
Warm water.
Tropical forest.
Long stretches of space without the constant interruptions of ordinary life.
Costa Rica offers something increasingly rare: room to simply be.
And from that space, something new can be heard.

YOUR YEAR WILL BEGIN EITHER WAY
The question is how you want to enter it.
Another year will arrive.
The calendar will turn.
Life will begin moving again.
But before it does, there is an opportunity to become still.
To step outside the noise.
To complete what has been.
To listen for what is becoming.
To remember that your future does not have to be a repetition of your past.
And to begin the year not from pressure, striving, or another list of resolutions— but from consciousness.
From clarity.
From intention.
From possibility.
Join Michael Beckwith and a community of kindred spirits in Costa Rica for five extraordinary days devoted to meditation, awakening, renewal, joy, and the sacred practice of beginning again.
Begin the Year in Stillness.
Emerge in Possibility.
