Vibrant Living Detox & Biohacking Retreat - Anamaya Costa Rica Yoga Retreat Hotel Teacher Training, Surf Camp and Eco Lodge

Vibrant Living Detox & Biohacking Retreat

Escape from the toxic, chaotic, and exhausting matrix and learn how to revive your energy, clarity, purpose, spirit and connection to nature. Calm your mind, ignite your heart and restore your body, while cultivating a supportive community of kindred souls!

 

In our modern life we are inundated with foreign chemicals, electromagnetic pollution and disease causing organisms. This greatly reduces our health and vitality in so many ways that we likely don’t even realize.  You may do well with hygiene practices to keep the outside of your body clean but what about the inside?

 

This is your chance to cleanse your body to restore your health, vitality and happiness so you can fully appreciate this precious gift of life.

I came to Anamaya looking for a reset and what I got was so much more. Joseph and Chela far exceeded any expectation I had about coming here. Their carefully thought out program set in paradise is one centered around community, nature and the detoxification of your mind, body and spirit. Each experience offered here provides a safe and loving place to explore all areas of yourself. The knowledge that Joseph shares gives you tools to continue working on living a life of health and vitality long after you leave.  The cacao and sound ceremonies on the beach are two of the most memorable experiences in my life and the deep work on trauma relief were breakthrough moments for me. From the moment you step into Anamaya, you feel like family. The staff is amazingly genuine and the meals are beautiful and delicious. Joseph and Chela, Thank you for pouring your whole heart into this experience. Anamaya has provided lifelong connections and will be a home I will be back to visit every year. So much love.

Pathogen, parasite, and heavy metal cleanse/detox

At 5 different times during each day, this very detailed and well designed program will offer you various things to support the cleansing process including: zeolite spray and powder, chlorella, glutathione, black walnut, clove, wormwood, oregano oil, ornithine, diatomaceous earth, papaya seeds, NAC, and activated charcoal.  Joseph will give an overview and hand out at the beginning of the week and will be available all week for guidance and questions.  The meals will be vegetarian with lots of fresh greens, delicious sauces and creatively presented vegetables.  We will be practicing intermittent fasting where we eat breakfast later to increase our daily regeneration period.  In respect to the food, this will be a light cleanse on it’s own depending on how it compares to your regular diet.  We do a 24 hour liquid fast in the middle of the week to optimize your cleanse.

Oligo Scan – Physiological Imbalance Screening

Ever wonder if your body is getting the right nutrients or carrying a hidden toxic load? The Oligo Scan is a revolutionary pain-free test that uses advanced spectrophotometry (light refraction) to measure 21 essential minerals, 16 heavy metals, and 7 key vitamins — right from your skin. Unlike standard blood tests that show only what’s circulating, this scan provides a real-time, intracellular view of your nutrient levels and toxic burden—helping you pinpoint deficiencies before they impact your health and revealing what toxins we need to focus on clearing.  Why it matters: Nutrient imbalances and heavy metal toxicity can be the root cause of fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and chronic health issues. Knowing what your body needs allows you to take precise, effective action.

Heart rate variability (HRV) testing

Discover the secrets of your heart’s rhythm in with Heart Rate Variability Testing.  HRV, the measure of the variation in time between each heartbeat, and very subtle rhythm changes is a crucial indicator of your autonomic nervous system’s flexibility and your overall health. In this session, you’ll learn how to interpret your HRV scores and understand what they reveal about your stress levels, recovery status, and resilience.

This workshop will invite you to open your mind and expand your consciousness and take you on a journey through the 7 dimensions of your eternal being.  We will talk about how they relate to our chakra energy system, the 5 elements, the atomic elements, the pervasive mental component, the power of the emotions, and many practical aspects of manifesting and celebrating a healthy and vibrant life rich with deep spiritual embodiment.  Learn the simplest things you an do to have the biggest impact on your health.

Emotional Cleansing, Forgiveness and Breathwork Ceremony

We will start with some shaking trauma release exercises then move into holotropic breathwork.  This powerful technique, using accelerated breathing to a rhythmic soundtrack, facilitates profound self-exploration and emotional release. Navigate through your inner landscape, unlocking insights and healing. This immersive experience is a gateway to altered states of consciousness, offering deep personal growth and a sense of wholeness.  Then we move into the forgiveness part where we write down the things we want to leg go of and forgive including forgiving ourselves and offer it to the fire.  This helps end the wheel of karma and sets us free from a burden that literally would have caused disease if not dealt with.  We are left in an incredibly clear state and more in tune with our soul and purpose.

Joseph Mikrut

Meet Joseph, a Michigan-born visionary with a global spirit. His lifelong pursuit of knowledge and self-discovery led him to California, where over a decade, he immersed himself in the study of natural medicine, spirituality, and manifestation.

Balancing his passion for holistic health with a keen eye for design, Joseph sharpened his skills in web and graphic design in the dynamic landscape of Silicon Valley, while simultaneously deepening his understanding of nutrition, bodywork, and herbal medicine production. His winters were dedicated to exploring tropical paradises, one such journey leading him to Thailand, where he managed a detox center.

However, Joseph’s aspirations reached beyond capitalizing on transient health trends. He envisioned a wellness center rooted in authenticity and sincere commitment to holistic health. His pursuit of this dream led him to Costa Rica in 2009. Upon setting foot in Geoff McCabe’s luxury villa, he knew he had found the ideal location for his vision. Joined by Kelsey Matheson, they established Anamaya, a health retreat majestically perched atop Montezuma’s cliffs.

After five dedicated years nurturing Anamaya to fruition, Joseph felt the calling to enhance his understanding of natural health practices. He returned to the US to earn his board certification in Naturopathy, aiming to enrich Anamaya’s retreat offerings.

As your retreat leader, Joseph brings a profound commitment to service, empowering others to achieve vibrant, sustainable health, find genuine happiness, and cultivate deep spiritual connections. With a blend of expertise, personal experience, and a heartfelt dedication to holistic wellness, Joseph is here to guide you on your journey towards a vibrant and fulfilling life.

“Anamaya was hands down the best trip I’ve ever taken. I did a lot of research before picking this retreat because I wanted to get a lot out of the little time I had and Anamaya gave me so much more than I could have ever imagined. As soon as you arrive at the retreat you’re welcomed by the breathtaking views, vast wildlife, and the beautiful people of Anamaya. The host ,Joseph, is one of the most caring, connected and intelligent people I’ve ever met. He put so much time and consideration in the each and every part of the retreat that was backed by years of research. I really appreciated how fact and statistic driven his teachings were because it made it a lot easier to trust everything he was saying. The morning yoga and cocoa ceremony with Chela was beautiful. She was again another kind hearted soul that was so in tune with nature. She would start her morning yoga with mindfulness telling us to listen to the sounds of nature and I swear the birds would all start chirping away. I got two massages while I was there that were some of the best massages I’ve ever gotten. The trauma exercise was honestly life changing. The group meetings really helped repair my relationship with my mom. I could go on all day but do yourself a favor and find out for yourself. I will definitely be back. Thank you Anamaya for being such a warm and welcoming place ❤️”  – Rachel S
