A Quaker-Led, Interfaith Spiritual Retreat

January 15-20, 2026 / Monteverde, Costa Rica

Amid the mist and quiet beauty of a mountaintop cloud forest, Earth & Ember invites spiritual seekers and contemplatives to explore how our lives can be rooted in compassion and peace--while still engaging with a world marked by injustice, greed, and cruelty. Each day offers centering practices, meaningful participation in our rainforest community, rich spiritual conversation, and the wisdom of local scientists, artists, and peacemakers.

In this place long shaped by Costa Rican warmth, ecological conservation, and the Friends peace testimony, discover renewal and restoration--a spiritual oasis of stillness, courage, and beauty.

Earth & Ember is a 6-day/5-night encounter for those longing to live more fully aligned with creation, clarity, and community. You’ll leave renewed, connected, and spiritually equipped to tend the light wherever you are planted.
