The Artist Retreat

June 6-12th, 2024

The artist retreat in the jungle of Costa Rica offers a unique and inspiring experience, blending movement, discussions, community-building activities, playfulness, and a deep connection with nature. Participants can engage in creative practices surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife, fostering a sense of relaxation and inspiration. Through a variety of activities, from movement workshops to communal discussions, attendees can connect with like-minded individuals, explore new ideas, and tap into their artistic potential in a setting that encourages personal growth and self-expression.

  • Erin Lazzaro - Host

    Erin Lazzaro is the co-owner and manager of Flo Retreat Center. She has been a New York Based performer for the past 10 years as well as Licensed Massage Therapist running her own Practice ‘Massage by Erin’. More recently, she has obtained her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Certification and hosts retreats at Flō Retreat Center with her husband Gabe.

    Movement has always been her motivator in life and her dream is to be able to share her knowledge and passion with other artists who share the same spark through mindful and creative movement . During the artist retreat, she hopes to create a space where people can reconnect to themselves as well as each other in similar situations. Being an artist comes with a great responsibility. Let’s explor together what that means!
