COSTA RICA’S
BLUE ZONE
Here, life breathes in circles — the rise of the sun, the movement of the body, the gathering at the table. The rhythm of being human is felt in every moment. This is the essence of the Blue Zone: a life fully lived.
move. nourish. connect.
Where food, wine, and wellness flow together by the sea.
Behzad Jamshidi
Where Presence Begins
Presence takes shape in how we move, how we pause, and how we gather at the table. In the embrace of the tropics, overlooking the ocean, connection unfolds with ease.
Our culinary experience is led by Executive Chef of Events & Programs at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Behzad Jamshidi. His background spans Michelin-starred kitchens like Le Bernardin in New York City to cooking alongside artisans and producers around the world. Behzad brings a deep reverence for the land, its culture, and its stories. Every dish reflects the people and place it comes from, turning each meal into a moment of meaning.
Among kindred spirits who value both beauty and curiosity, you’ll share conversations that linger and flavors that stay with you long after you leave. This is nourishment for the body, mind, and soul.
“I’ve always loved bringing people together through meaningful food, shared stories, and the feeling of being truly cared for. Now, I get to do that through movement, presence, and connection. This retreat is where palate, body, mind, land, and community come alive together.”
- Alissa Wilmina
