Resurface Retreats - The Americas
Costa Rica and USA
Transformative beachfront retreats with therapy and surfing
Resurface Retreats in Costa Rica are structured, well organised, week-long breaks led by psychotherapist Josh Dickson and his trusted team. Choose from a retreat that tackles trauma or one that builds resilience – both combine surfing with group therapy, psycho-education and mindfulness. You’ll stay in modern, airy, well-equipped villas with pools, surrounded by tropical gardens and a two-minute walk from a pristine surf beach. Private retreats are also available. Retreats are being planned for USA.
Queen of Retreats says:
‘‘You will be in very safe hands with Josh Dickson, a practising trauma therapist and avid surfer, who blends science and fun with great aplomb. Although some demons will raise their heads and you won’t get much downtime, you’ll emerge with a decrease in depression and lower anxiety. Playa Hermosa is well-known for her waves and stunning beach’
