Tantra is not about intercourse but it does have everything to do with sexual energy and really being comfortable in your body. If you are looking for the next step in your healing journey, this is definitely for you! 💙🙏🏻"

 “Casa Kama, a verdant jewel on the edge of the Costa Rican Rainforest, is a breath of clear air nestled just outside the daily hustle and bustle of Manuel Antonio/Quepos area (5-10 min. by vehicle). A tour de force commercialization of the area by the travel industry often overshadows our innate draw towards meaningful spiritual connections with ourselves and with others. These connections can be found here at Casa Kama.  John and Robert are superb hosts providing the tools for self-empowerment professionally and empathetically for guests to grasp and employ at their own pace. Each moment from meet and greet to, to the time of departure is focused on incorporating mindfulness, loving ones-self first, and positive daily living. If you are willing to look for answers INSIDE yourself the tools are provided. Four words: kind, genuine, generous, topnotch!   Thank you!❤️❤️❤️❤️”

 "I had the extreme pleasure of enjoying a two day retreat at Casa Kama. They were so accommodating with my schedule and so welcoming with my needs. They worked out a sur mesure program that included Yoga, Mantras and Intimacy Healing.  I found the combination of all three were so beneficial to me at the stage of my coming out and helped me relax and get grounded.  I am not exaggerating when I say the experience changed me for the best, especially the intimacy healing with John.  I practice his teaching daily and it helps me cope with the stresses from my life and enjoy the present moment.  Finally, the beautiful location was instrumental in making this a impactful retreat. The gardens (so well maintained by Robert), the nearby tropical forest and the beautiful rooms were all amazing. The sweet fealing of a warm tropical breeze on my body after some rain and a full day of activities was incredible.  I highly recommend Casa Kama and the therapy of DaddyGuru!"

 "We are now back in the UK after a wonderful trip to Costa Rica. We wanted to meet new people, have new experiences and see new sights - our intentions were definitely met and surpassed!.  We have been continuing to practice the breathing exercises and the 'Om gam ..' mantra every morning.   During the retreat, there was a great connection within the group, the accommodation was very comfortable, the trip to Rainmaker was amazing and I really appreciated (John) and Robert catering to our dietary requirements as well as help ensuring that we were collected from the airport and delivered safely to our hotel.   Overall I enjoyed the retreat immensely.”

 "Attending this yoga retreat was a wonderful experience overall. I had the opportunity to meet new, like-minded individuals and learned a great deal about Tantra. The home we stayed in was extremely comfortable, and I always felt very well taken care of. The staff took great care in ensuring all my needs were met at all times and were incredibly attentive. One standout aspect of the retreat was the "Mush Love" portion. This was a magical experience that is difficult to put into words, and it left a lasting impression on me. In addition, the property was beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time in the garden and being surrounded by nature. Overall, this was a wonderful experience that I will carry with me for my whole life."

 “Wonderful yoga /spiritual/tantra teacher and fellow yogis. Delightful sharing, massaging, breathing, chanting, dancing; food, laughter, brotherhood.  Loved hiking and swimming at Rainmaker National Park and Playitas Beach near Manuel Antonio National Park.  Beautiful  sunrises and sunsets. Thanks John and Robert for this uplifting experience.” 

Louis, Washington DC
         

 "Casa Kama has been amazing for me.  They provided a true and genuine sacred healing space for people. John and Robert are truly great hosts. I will take what I have learned from the retreat and add it to my practice. I absolutely felt the high vibration in their property and they really keep up with the work around it.  I am glad to have chosen this retreat because we did a lot of inner child and shadow work that is typically neglected. I highly recommend Casa Kama to anyone who needs to get away from the city and just be in the moment."

 "I spent five days participating in a one-on-one sacred mush-love tantric retreat during the last week of November 2024. From start to finish the experience was more than i could have anticipated. Right after I booked the retreat months before I was surprised and impressed with the immediate outreach from John. He was, and is, available to answer any of my questions. This includes questions about flights and accommodations to more in-depth questions about the nature of the retreat and the topics that would be covered. Being in a foreign country John also put my mind at ease regarding the accessibility and the security of my travel experience. Once I landed at the airport John was there to pick me up and we immediately began discussing what the experience would look like and what to expect. The day-to-day activities were clearly defined and also allowed time and room for independent thought and integration which I needed. the Tantric instruction and activities were enlightening and fun. Many led to more in depth conversation regarding our inner philosophies and sexuality - which I found to be very relieving and empowering. The accommodations were great, and the food was healthy, plentiful and nutritious. I found John to be very intelligent, insightful, instructive, emotionally supportive, understanding…and loving. I give this retreat, and any retreat facilitated by John, my highest recommendation." 

Keith, Utah
         

 "For years I dreamed of being part of this kind of space to get to know myself and expand my spirituality, energy and be part of a circle of men who nurture my masculine energy. This retreat confirmed that the manifestations are fulfilled, one reaches the places and people that he needs in his time to evolve. I am extremely grateful."  "The impact very strong, before and after the retreat. Very satisfied.  I went without expectations and I left full of a lot of knowledge and desire to learn more. I felt loved and supported by everyone. Everyone from somewhere became part of my pack."  "Extremely grateful for the safe space and sharing.  (A) Trans-formative self-discovery experience for me."
