Open to all levels of curiosity. Join us from March 1 to March 7, 2027 for a focused aerial arts intensive at Airborne Arts ( https://airbornearts.com/ ), a retreat center located in the Diamante Valley of Costa Rica, between Playa Dominical and San Isidro. This retreat provides an immersive environment designed to combine your aerial acrobatics training with the power and inspiration of Costa Rica’s jungle.
Where Does the Retreat Take Place?
- The retreat is hosted at Airborne Arts, a dedicated aerial and eco-retreat venue. Built with eco-friendly design principles, the property provides an immersive training environment entirely surrounded by nature, offering clear views of the ocean, a lush jungle valley, and a 275-meter (900-ft) waterfall.
- At the center of the Airborne Arts property is its primary training space: a professional 6m x 12m (20×40 ft) open-air aerial and yoga deck. This structure is purpose-built for aerialists, featuring 6-meter (20-ft) high ceilings, eight rigging points, a pine dance floor, and a full sound and lighting system.
- In addition to the main deck, the venue is equipped with a full-sized outdoor flying trapeze rig. When you are not training, the property offers spaces to rest and recover, including a small swimming pool, a sun deck, and free Wi-Fi access. Accommodations are located on-site and consist of shared, co-ed dorm-style housing but private accommodation can also be made available.
What to Expect During the Retreat
Daily aerial classes in aerial hoop, loops, partnering, flow, and creativity; daily mobility and/or dance classes, rig time and sunset flexibility sessions. For the brave souls, there’s an optional add-on: open-air flying trapeze classes offered by Airborne Arts! The base package includes comfortable accommodations overlooking the wild jungle, four organic meals per day made with locally grown ingredients, and excursions to explore the area, recharge, and connect with others.
We will close the week with a special final moment – an optional sharing or performance, celebrating your progress, creativity, and everything you’ve explored.
