Solar return:
Rebirth in the Jungle
Costa Rica Retreat
jan 10-15th, 2027
There comes a moment when the soul craves more.
More truth. More connection. More freedom. More aliveness.
A moment when the life you have known no longer feels like the whole story.
Something within you begins to stir. A quiet knowing that there is more of you waiting to be remembered, expressed, and lived.
Solar Return was created for that moment.
For six days in the heart of the Costa Rican jungle, we step away from the familiar and enter an intentionally created journey of connection, transformation, joy, and rebirth.
Not to become someone new.
But to return more fully to who you already are.

Accommodations
Imagine a sanctuary where every detail, from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart, is infused with love, intention, and the spirit of transformation.
Welcome to Imiloa Institute, your home for this extraordinary retreat.
Imiloa is more than a retreat center — it is a home, an experience, and a living story. Here, human beings are invited to awaken their consciousness and remember their connection to nature, to spirit, and to themselves.
From the moment you say YES, your journey begins.
Your arrival is part of the experience. After gathering in San José, our journey continues together aboard a private charter flight, carrying us above the lush jungles and mountains of Costa Rica toward Imiloa.
From above, the landscape begins to change. The cities disappear. The rainforest stretches beneath you. And before you have even arrived, there is a feeling that you are leaving the ordinary behind.
After landing, a beautiful drive through the rainforest carries you deeper into the jungle and toward our home for the next six days.
And then, you arrive.
From the moment you step onto the land, the outside world begins to fall away.
Surrounded by lush rainforest, sweeping mountain views, tropical gardens, waterfalls, and the vast Pacific in the distance, Imiloa invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with the natural world around you.
Here, the land is not simply the backdrop for Solar Return. It becomes part of the experience.
Between the deeper moments of our journey, there is space to simply be. Float in the infinity pool overlooking the jungle. Wander the trails. Rest beneath the trees. Receive a nourishing spa treatment. Share laughter, conversation, and quiet moments with the community forming around you.
And as the day begins to soften, gather beneath the open sky and watch the sun disappear beyond the horizon, painting the Costa Rican sky in color.
Some moments will transform you.
Some will simply remind you how beautiful it feels to be alive.
For six days, Imiloa becomes our home.
Our sanctuary.
And part of the journey itself.
Soul Nourishing Food
At our Costa Rica Retreat, every meal is a sacred experience, crafted to nourish, energize, and delight you from the inside out.
Enjoy 5-star, gourmet cuisine lovingly prepared by Imiloa’s world-class private chefs. Each dish is a vibrant celebration of local, organic produce, designed to support your healing journey and ignite your senses. Meals are plant-based and locally sourced, highlighting the freshest ingredients Costa Rica has to offer. The cuisine is seasonally inspired, connecting you deeply to the richness and abundance of the land, while each plate is artfully prepared, blending nutrition and indulgence in every bite. Expect vibrant tropical fruits, nutrient-dense superfoods, delicious vegan creations, refreshing smoothies, decadent desserts, and an array of dishes that leave you feeling deeply nourished, energized, and alive.
Whether you are dining after a healing session, gathering with new friends at sunset, or enjoying a quiet morning overlooking the ocean, every meal is intentionally designed to be an extension of your transformation, fueling not just your body, but your soul.
The Experience
This is not simply a retreat. It is a journey of rebirth.
For six days in the Costa Rican jungle, you are invited to step away from the noise of everyday life and into a world intentionally created for transformation.
From the moment you arrive, each experience begins to build upon the one before it.
We open in ceremony.
We connect. We play. We move.
We breathe. We release. We remember.
We enter the fire. We return to the water.
We dance. We sing. We rest.
We meet ourselves in new ways.
And slowly, something begins to shift.
Through Pranic Rebirth journeys, sacred ceremony, movement, sound, authentic connection, meditation, nature, cold immersion, healing workshops and moments of pure celebration, you are guided through an experience designed to reach far beyond the mind.
There is space for profound inner work, but also for laughter.
For stillness, but also for ecstatic movement.
For ceremony, but also for adventure.
For transformation, but also for simply being alive.
Because rebirth is not only about releasing who you have been.
It is about remembering who you are.
And throughout it all, you are held by an extraordinary community of facilitators, the wild beauty of Costa Rica, and the sacred container we create together.
This is Solar Return.
A return to your truth.
A return to your aliveness.
A return to the part of you that has always known the way home.
A GLIMPSE INTO THE JOURNEY
No two Solar Returns are exactly the same.
The heart of Solar Return carries forward from one journey to the next, while each gathering takes on a life of its own.

Testimonials from Past Costa Rica Retreats
Jai
“Before the retreat, I was struggling with anxiety and had a lot of emotions rising within me that I didn’t quite know how to navigate. During the retreat, I was able to genuinely listen to my emotions and my body in a space where I felt completely safe, surrounded by people who were so loving and welcoming.
I truly felt seen, and that gave me the opportunity to embrace myself and my gifts in a way I hadn’t before. The Pranic Rebirth Journey showed me how sovereign and powerful I am and helped me reconnect with a deep knowing within myself that I had missed for a long time.
I came home feeling like a completely different person. I have a new confidence and trust in myself, and life feels like an adventure again. This experience genuinely changed my life and put me on a trajectory that I am so incredibly excited for.”
— Jai
Troy
“Before the retreat, I felt stuck. I knew the life I wanted to create, but I wasn’t sure what step to take next. I realized I had been leading my life with my head instead of my heart, making decisions based on fear rather than trusting myself.
One of my biggest breakthroughs was actually one of the simplest: trust the process, trust myself, and acknowledge how much I’ve already grown.
The retreat also reminded me how powerful genuine human connection can be. Sharing meals, laughing together, sitting in smaller circles and really seeing one another became some of the most meaningful parts of the experience for me.
I came home feeling more open and confident in myself and my journey. If you feel even an inkling of curiosity, listen to your heart, trust yourself, and take the leap. This was an incredible journey.”
— Troy Petrignani

ALEX
"I came into the retreat feeling burned out, dissatisfied with life, and disconnected from myself. I left with a sense of clarity, trust and peace that I honestly wasn’t expecting.
The Pranic Rebirth Journey gave me the opportunity to explore buried emotions and face parts of myself I had been avoiding. I was able to acknowledge deep fears around feeling stuck, vulnerability and trust, while feeling completely seen, held and supported by the facilitators.
What surprised me most was the rediscovery of myself. I feel more at ease with who I am and deeply grateful to be part of such a beautiful community. If I could speak to the version of myself who almost didn’t come, I would tell them: you’re about to remember parts of yourself you forgot were there.”

Hardy Patel
Hardy Patel is the founder of Pranic Evolution, a Conscious Creator, Intuitive Guide, and Retreat Facilitator devoted to creating spaces for profound transformation, connection, remembrance, and joy.
His journey has been shaped by years of exploring breathwork, energy healing, meditation, movement, ceremony, fasting, and ancient spiritual traditions, alongside one of his greatest teachers: life itself. Hardy is a Rebirthing Breathwork Facilitator, Reiki Master, Intuitive Guide, and 200-hour certified yoga teacher, but his work extends far beyond any single modality.
At the heart of Hardy’s approach is a simple intention:
“Massive transformation in the shortest amount of time, held in a space of love.”
His retreats are not about escaping life. They are an invitation to enter it more fully.
Through intentionally curated experiences of sacred ceremony, breath, movement, stillness, nature, music, play, and authentic human connection, Hardy creates environments where people can let go of what they have been carrying, reconnect with themselves, and remember the freedom, love, and joy that already exist within them.
Hardy believes transformation does not always have to be heavy. Some of our deepest healing can happen through laughter, celebration, vulnerability, community, and giving ourselves permission to be fully present.
From Costa Rica to Glastonbury, Sedona, and beyond, every Pranic Evolution retreat is intentionally unique, yet the heart behind each experience remains the same:
Come as you are.
Let go of what no longer serves you.
Reconnect with who you truly are.
Remember what is possible.
And carry that transformation with you long after the retreat ends.
