Group of retreat guests gathered in the jungle at Airborne Arts Costa Rica

Upcoming Retreats

Join a scheduled retreat led by world-class instructors at our jungle retreat center in Costa Rica.

Train with World-Class Coaches

Our 2027 season brings international guest instructors to the jungle for week-long retreats at Airborne Arts. Each retreat has a different focus and is open to participants of all levels unless otherwise noted. No need to bring your own instructor or organize a group. Pick a retreat, show up, and we handle the rest: accommodation, four organic meals a day, training sessions, and some of the best off-the-mat adventures in Central America.

Several retreats are on the calendar, led by visiting coaches from around the world: aerial hoop, flying trapeze, dance trapeze, silks and full circus weeks. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned performer, there is a week here with your name on it.

Our combination of professional-grade training facilities, immersive jungle surroundings and full-service hospitality makes us a top pick for instructors who want their students to have an extraordinary experience.

Every retreat benefits from the same world-class infrastructure: a full-size flying trapeze rig, an open-air aerial arts studio with 20 to 25-foot ceilings, an infinity pool, three organic meals daily and accommodations that range from romantic private suites to cozy jungle cabins. Instructors keep coming back because they know their students will leave transformed.
