Meg Reynolds sets December meditation retreat and beginner course in Costa Rica

Meg Reynolds will host two back-to-back Vedic Meditation programs in Nosara, Costa Rica, in December 2026: a five-day retreat for experienced practitioners and a four-day Learn to Meditate course for beginners. The offerings are designed to give attendees deep rest, stress relief and a structured entry point into meditation in a wellness-focused setting. Why it matters: - The two programs give experienced meditators and first-timers a chance to study in the same destination on consecutive dates. - The Costa Rica setting is part of the appeal, with Nosara positioned as a wellness hub and Playa Pelada offering a retreat environment built around rest and restoration. - The retreat and course are aimed at people looking for stress reduction, clearer thinking and a more sustainable daily meditation practice. What happened: - Meg Reynolds announced a five-day Vedic Meditation retreat in Nosara from Dec. 10-14, 2026. - Reynolds also announced a four-day Learn to Meditate course from Dec. 15-18, 2026. - The retreat is for people who already practice Vedic Meditation and want to deepen that practice. - The beginner course is for people who have not yet learned Vedic Meditation. - Full details and registration for the retreat are available at retreat information . - Additional information and contact details are available at Meg Reynolds’ website and contact page . The details: - The retreat will run for five days and four nights in an ecological retreat space in Playa Pelada. - Participants will take part in Vedic “rounding,” which combines gentle yoga postures, pranayama breathwork, deep meditation and restorative resting poses. - The retreat package includes accommodations, yoga sessions, workshops and organic Ayurvedic meals. - The retreat prices are $2,400 per person for shared accommodation and $3,000 for a single room. - Reynolds said the retreat format lets the nervous system settle in a way that daily life rarely allows. - Reynolds said rounding is one of the most powerful tools available to experienced meditators and can create clarity and ease that last for months. - The Learn to Meditate course begins with one-on-one instruction and a personalized Vedic mantra on day one. - The following three days include 90-minute group sessions on integrating meditation into everyday life, the mechanics of how Vedic Meditation helps alleviate stress and anxiety, and what to expect as the practice develops. - During the group sessions, Reynolds answers questions, refines technique and leads group meditation. - Vedic Meditation requires no particular beliefs, physical fitness or prior experience. - The practice calls for a comfortable seat and 20 minutes twice a day. - The exact address and session times are still to be confirmed. - Both December offerings are open to participants from any location. - Space for the retreat is limited. Between the lines: - The structure suggests a funnel from retreat to beginner instruction, allowing Reynolds to serve both established practitioners and new students in the same trip. - The emphasis on effortless practice and nervous-system restoration positions the program as practical wellness, not a lifestyle overhaul. - Nosara’s reputation as a wellness destination likely strengthens the appeal for travelers seeking meditation instruction in a restorative setting. What’s next: - Interested participants can register for the retreat through Reynolds’ website. - Prospective students for the Learn to Meditate course are being asked to contact Reynolds directly to register. - Organizers still need to confirm the exact address and daily session times. - The December programs will take place back-to-back, beginning with the retreat and followed immediately by the introductory course. The bottom line: - Reynolds is pairing an advanced retreat with a beginner course in one Costa Rica visit, creating a rare option for both deepening and starting a Vedic Meditation practice.
