As Seen On
The Qasa Way
Our unique methodology infused into every Qasa experience.
The Qasa Way is how we create unforgettable, life-shifting queer experiences grounded in joy, safety, and belonging. While each retreat is unique, you’ll find consistent values, elements, and philosophy across all of our experiences. Every retreat is queer-centered, evidence-rooted, and designed for your whole self: mind, body, heart, spirit, and nature too.
All Qasa experiences center on:
Authenticity – We create spaces where you can bring every part of yourself – messy, raw, evolving – without pretense.
Connection – Creating space for belonging, not by asking you to fit in, but by welcoming you exactly as you are; through deep listening, shared vulnerability, and the embrace of nature.
Queer Joy – We balance soulful, transformative work with celebration, creative expression, and the kind of playful delight that lights you up from the inside out.
Embodiment – Embracing practices and moments that drop you into your body, awaken your senses, and root you in the fullness of the present moment.
How It Feels
Through our retreats, adventures, and festivals, we guide guests from shame, fear, and disconnection to joy, embodiment, and technicolor belonging. You’ll laugh until you cry, cry until you laugh, and remember what it feels like to be fully alive in your body, in your truth, and in a community that celebrates you exactly as you are.

Costa Rica’s jungle, ocean, and pura vida spirit offer more than a backdrop - they’re part of the journey.
Holistic Wellbeing
Our programs engage the full spectrum of your being - mind, body, heart, and spirit - through rest, play, and connection.
The Arc of Your Qasa Journey
Every Qasa experience is more than just time on the land – it’s a journey with three powerful phases designed to support your transformation.
Preparation – From the moment you say yes, we help you arrive ready – emotionally, physically, and energetically. You’ll receive resources, reflection prompts, and guidance to set intentions so you can step into your retreat with clarity and openness.
Retreat – Immersed in the lush jungles of Costa Rica, you’ll move through a carefully crafted program of practices, rituals, and experiences that guide you from disconnection to connection, from holding back to living in full color.
Integration – Transformation doesn’t end when you leave. We offer tools, practices, and community touch points to help you carry your insights, connections, and new ways of being into your everyday life.
At Qasa, we hold the container for your whole journey – before, during, and after – so your experience isn’t just memorable, it’s lasting.
What Makes Qasa Unique
At Qasa, we believe queer joy isn’t an indulgence, it’s a birthright.
At Qasa, a queer-owned retreat center and eco-chic hotel in Costa Rica, we help you move from hiding your light to standing in your full truth.
From feeling dim to shining bright.
Come home to your body, your community, your queer joy.
In nature. In safety. In full color.

Who It's For & Why People Come
Qasa retreats are for queer people of all identities, bodies, and life stages who feel the call to come home to themselves. Whether through stillness or movement, ceremony or play, intimacy or adventure.
Some arrive ready to go deep with sacred plant medicine.
Some come to rediscover joy through wild rivers and jungle cliffs.
Others feel the pull to explore erotic freedom and conscious kink.
And many just sense it's time for something more...something real.
People come to Qasa to shed old stories, to grow, to laugh, to feel, to deal, to play.
To explore safely, in queer community, in nature, in truth.
To remember who they are and to celebrate it, fully.
