Hello, everyone. I have some news about the Costa Rica brain health retreat this January. Due to a very happy event (my cohost Stacy Fisher is expecting her second child), we’ve brought in new faculty that I know you will love. Details below! And, we’ve had a few spots open up, which means I can now offer you one of our jungle bungalows or geodesic domes.
This is my most education-packed retreat yet. We have a full program of fitness, interactive brain health talks, and cooking demos. But there is plenty of time to truly relax and learn restorative practices like yoga nidra and meditation. Want to learn to love more plant-based foods? The menu is 100% plant-based. And, it’s alcohol-free, a great way to reset after the holidays.
Let’s go to Costa Rica!

Why Costa Rica?
Costa Rica is famous for the longevity of its people. In fact, one of the six blue zones on earth is located here. In this retreat, you’ll be learning the secrets of the Costa Rican “pura vida” lifestyle, and how to bring some of that into your own life back home.

Annie Fenn, MD
That’s me! I’ve been leading educational vacations around the world since 2015. This is my most information-packed retreat yet. I’ll be hosting interactive brain health talks and cooking demos througout the week. In the evenings, all of our faculty will gather with you for Preguntame (that’s Spanish for Ask Me a Question) to get all of your questions answered. I’ll also be offering one-on-one brain health consultations for an additional fee as time allows.
