In service to your art and a better way of life.
Every apparatus, one jungle facility. Flying trapeze, silks, hoop, pole and acro in a week you will never forget.
The Whole Circus
Most people who love circus train one discipline at home because that is what their local studio offers. A circus retreat removes the limits. Airborne Arts was purpose-built as a complete training ground: a full outdoor flying trapeze rig, an open-air aerial studio rigged for silks, hoop, dance trapeze and hammock, professional poles, and space for partner acrobatics and handbalancing. All of it above the Diamante valley, next to an 1,800-foot waterfall, the second tallest in Costa Rica.
The coaching matches the facility. The team is led by Jonathon Conant, co-founder of Trapeze School New York, and the guest-instructor program brings international performers through the property all season, including artists from Cirque du Soleil. Beginners get patient, thorough fundamentals. Experienced students get coaching at a level that is genuinely hard to find in one place.
A typical circus week moves across the apparatus: morning conditioning, a flying trapeze session while the air is cool, silks or hoop after lunch, acro before dinner, open training where your curiosity takes over. Three freshly prepared, mostly organic meals a day keep you fueled, and the property does the rest: the pool over the valley, jungle trails, monkeys in the canopy, and nights full of stars.
Circus people tend to find each other here. Retreat weeks fill with aerialists, flyers, polers and acro partners from around the world, and the communal table does as much for the experience as the rigging does. Many guests book their next week before they leave.

Common Questions
Yes, and you would not be the first to arrive with zero experience and leave with a trapeze catch, a silks climb and a new obsession. Every session is coached and scaled. All levels means all levels.
Single-discipline weeks go deep on one apparatus, often with a guest artist. A general circus week goes wide: you train across the whole facility and follow what lights you up. Both formats share the same property, meals and coaching team.
Each retreat page lists its price. Weeks include coaching, lodging and three daily meals, with private room upgrades and add-ons like massage available at registration. Deposits and payment plans are available on most weeks, so you can reserve now and pay over time.
