Creativity and Kabbalah Retreat in Costa Rica with Gahl Sasson & Elitsa Velikova
February 21–28, 2026, Bodhitree Yoga Resort
⸻
Awaken Your 2026 Creative Vision Beneath the Bodhi Tree
Where Costa Rica’s turquoise surf meets emerald jungle, sheltered by the whispering canopy of the Bodhi Tree, lies the perfect setting to give birth to your creative wish or New Year's resolution. Whether you carry the seed of a story, are working on improving your health, attracting a partner, or have a yearning to manifest something deeply personal, this retreat is your invitation to shape it, layer by layer, guided by the ancient wisdom of Kabbalah, astrology, and artful practice.
When the Buddha attained enlightenment under the legendary Bodhi Tree, he proved what every wisdom-tradition teaches: a single tree can change a life. Kabbalah adds that the Tree of Life is more than a symbol—it is “the everlasting blueprint for the construction of the universe,” an active map you can follow to create your reality.
This is more than a retreat; it is a creative pilgrimage — a seven-day odyssey equipped with practical tools that awaken the creator within

Led by author and mystic Gahl Sasson and psychologist and art therapist Elitsa Velikova,this retreat blends the mystical teachings of Kabbalah with the craft of expressive therapies. Through daily classes integrating psychology, guided visualisations, storytelling, and Kabbalah (with a dash of astrology), you will gain:
• Experiential learning – hands-on art processes, storytelling, guided meditations, concise lectures, movement, and ritual—all crafted to make the Kabbalistic Tree of Life tangible.
• Personal attention – group size is purposefully limited, keeping your individual goals firmly center stage.
• Holistic immersion – replenish body and soul amid Bodhi Tree’s beaches and jungle, organic cuisine, and soothing spa amenities.
• Lasting tools – depart with a customized “Tree-Map” and the ten-step wish-fulfilment method based on Gahl Sasson's book A Wish Can Change Your Life: Ten for continued practice at home.
No prior experience is necessary—only a willingness to explore, create, and grow.
