Love Raw Food Costa Rica Retreat Testimonials

I have a success story! The week before starting 100% raw vegan foods I was taking up to four 800 mg of ibuprofen a day for chronic back pain. After one week of raw foods the pain had diminished by 80 to 90%. I haven’t taken an ibuprofen in 6 days! I’m also sleeping better, and packed away the sleep aids I had brought, no longer needing them. The tums sat by my bedside the whole time I was on the Retreat. Usually I take one nightly; I never needed one! I’m grateful.

Gayle Gura

I was asked by my Spenga instructor: what was the best part of the retreat? I had to think… because the food, the retreat center, and the excursions were amazing but it really boiled down to “the group”!!   I felt a connection with like minded people. Even though some were not 100% raw, I loved being surrounded with people who care about their health and bodies and what they put into it. I don’t have that at home with friends and family. So this was the huge takeaway for me. And I now have friends to connect with for life.

Thank you for putting this retreat together 🇨🇷❤️. Thank you Thank you Thank you
Sandra Picone

What a great trip! Thanks for all of your hard work to organize and run the retreat.

–Rick Williams

I am very glad that I came to the Love Raw Food and Yoga 2023 Retreat. I really enjoyed my first visit to Costa Rica.  I am really glad that I experienced eating fully raw for an entire week for the first time. Now I know that I can do it.  I learned a lot about myself, which is more valuable than I can explain.  Thank you for offering this experience!

Sybil Shelton Ford

This raw food and yoga retreat was refreshing, revitalizing, a chance to connect with the raw community, a chance to connect with nature and a chance to connect with ourselves. It was just what I needed to unwind from the daily grind. These retreats are a crucial aspect of maintaining a raw vegan diet as they allow us to feel connected in a community that is small. Karen is an amazing host with a lifetime of personal experience to share. Her Knowledge is invaluable.

Kaylee Fox

The Love Raw Food and Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica was magical! I loved every minute! I learned so much, am inspired, fell in love with Costa Rica and raw living foods. My favorite dish was the Pad Thai. I deeply enjoyed all the adventures we went on. It was a wonderful group of people and the size of the group was perfect. I look forward to my next Love Raw Foods Retreat!

Joya Matza

Thank you  Karen for a great, well rounded raw food and yoga retreat. I truly enjoyed my time. I liked our activities and group outings, especially the beach at the Manuel Antonio National Park. I loved swimming in the warm soothing Pacific. I am also really grateful for your coaching, sharing valuable information that is helping me to start my journey towards the raw food lifestyle.I was also blown away by the most incredibly delicious variety of food so tastefully prepared by Chef Maria. I am truly grateful for the experience and I am leaving  joyfully fulfilled.

Deanna Joy

You hosted a beautiful, awesome raw food and yoga retreat – with beautiful people. I enjoyed the love and laughter we all enjoyed together while playing games and having spontaneous conversations together. I was very pleased with the delicious and unique raw food dishes Maria prepared – Lots to eat and large variety with simple recipes we could use when we get home. I shared a lovely well-lit spacious room with another guest. It was very clean and inviting with a beautiful view of the ocean.

Robbie Ellis

Living in Colorado, I learned that I need to take advantage of the beautiful outdoors and start hiking again. Also, Karen has been inspirational in her very calm and encouraging way. She has laid the ground work and tools to go forward and change my life. Karen has a wealth of information that she is more than willing to share and educate on the rewards of a raw food diet and what you can gain in your life for optimal health and spiritual connection.

Adrienne Singleton

Thank you for convincing my family to go on this Love Raw Food and Yoga Retreat. I am grateful for the way I feel now that I have eaten a raw food diet for a week. Thank you!

–Madeleine Daley, age 18

The trip to the Raw Food Retreat in Costa Rica taught me that a raw vegan diet is not the only component of a healthy lifestyle. I needed the sunshine, daily yoga, meditation, and hikes to waterfalls to really feel healthy. I brought this understanding home. I now engage in regular exercise and get outdoors as much as possible. This trip changed my life!

Lauren Orlando

I’m so happy the Universe brought us together here in Costa Rica and in life! You are an inspiring presence in my life. I look forward to many more retreats and get-togethers with you.

–Love Grace

The Retreat was just amazing! Adventurous, full of nature, pushing through limits … emotional limits, physical limits, spiritual limits. Every moment was filled with something adventurous, exciting. Karen attracted, manifested a great group of people. Karen is an amazing woman with a lot of knowledge beyond knowledge of the raw food diet and an exceptional teacher and exceptional speaker. I learned so much from her, and she’s very kind and caring, and I’m so grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you … . And check it out!

—Jessica Silva

I loved the Love Raw Food & Yoga Costa Rica Retreat! We hiked every day, swimming in waterfalls, eating delicious food. I had a blast! I had a terrible rash on my hands for several months. It went away and then it came back. In just a few days at the retreat, it completely healed just by eating raw foods, swimming at the beach and being out in the sun.

—Sonia Mohabir

The Love Raw Food & Yoga Retreat was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. The best food among other people who enjoy taking yoga classes, hiking to the waterfalls, going to the beach. The weather is incredible, and we escaped the winter of the Northeast. Karen’s coaching classes were incredible. I learned so much and met beautiful people on this trip. I loved every minute of it. I’m so glad I came with you, Karen! I would come back again.

—Ronda Lutfey

This raw food retreat was amazing! Three-quarters of the things that we did here I didn’t expect. Karen worked so hard, and this retreat is reinforcing my healthier lifestyle.

—Fortune

I can’t even say it’s a dream come true because I couldn’t have dreamt such an amazing amazing experience. I really think it surpassed all my expectations. The food was amazing—all the tropical fruit. The mountains, so serene and beautiful. The hikes! Everything you put into the trip … the food and the yoga … . And I got so much inspiration because my profession is design, and I design swimwear for boys and girls. I use tropical flowers in my designs. I must have taken 200 pictures of flowers in Costa Rica. You worked so hard, Karen, but it was very worthwhile. I’m going to increase the amount of raw food I eat at home, and I know now how good it is for me.

Travel

map-costa-rica

We recommend flying direct to San Jose International Airport in Costa Rica, if possible, to avoid any potential travel delays or problems.

Important—Please Read Below!
The retreat starts on February 6th, so you will need to arrive in Costa Rica by February 5th. The retreat shuttle will pick everyone up at our designated guesthouse in San Jose about 7 a.m. February 6th and bring you all to your first adventure. On the last day of the retreat, which is February 13th, the retreat shuttle will bring you back to the airport early that morning so that you can make an afternoon flight from 2 p.m. onward on the 13th. Or if you choose to stay in Costa Rica longer, you can get a taxi at the airport. To give yourself enough time to get to the airport, I would recommend booking return flights home at 2 pm or later if leaving on February 13th.

If not using the complimentary transportation that will be provided during the specific scheduled window of time we have arranged, you will be responsible (including expenses) for getting yourself to and from the retreat location. Options include: taxis, shuttles, buses or rental cars.

What to Bring

You will be sent an email with a detailed list of things to bring with you. If you don’t live in Costa Rica, you will need a passport. Please visit FarmOfLifeCR.com for more traveler information and to view pictures of the retreat location.

Please Email Us Your Questions

Questions for Karen should be sent to Karen at karen@superhealthychildren.com

We look forward to a week of inspiration, rejuvenation, playfulness, education, healing, daily adventures and mindfulness.

Wishing you vibrant health and happiness,

Karen Ranzi

      I’m excited to hear you’re interested. I’m going to speak to the owners of Finca de Vida to see how it will work for your 5 year old.
  2. With kids in mind, would there be a price difference for a thirteen-year-old and an eleven-year-old?
    Thanks!

      Hi Gabrielle, Children over age three are full price as they have their own bed and most often eat a lot of the food. They will have a fabulous time. There is a family of four coming with a mom and her three teenage daughters. It would be great to have you with us! You can email me directly at karen@superhealthychildren.com.

    Hi Karen,

    Remember me? I lived in NJ in 2016, and attended a few of your classes. I now live in FL. I am still interested in your 2017 Retreat (remember, I was willing to go in 2016).

    My number is the same. How do I sign up?

    When is your 2018 retreat?

    Thank you

    I want to come and bring my sister with me, but she has a one year old son. Does it cost for him too? If so, how much?
    • karen says:
      There is no charge for children under three years old. If you want to come to Costa Rica with us this February I would need to talk with you soon as the retreat is very close to being full. Please contact me at 201-934-6778 and if I’m not available you can leave your name, number and email. Excited to hear you’d like to join us!
