Where It All Began

In 2017, a small, humble home in Costa Rica became the foundation for something extraordinary. The land was raw, wild forest—no garden, no driveway, no structures beyond the basics. But there was something sacred here.

Since day one, this project has been built with deep sacrifice. Starting in a car, then moving to a tent with a porta-potty, and eventually settling into a glassed-in storage space since 2018. Without a proper kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom for eight years, the vision has remained strong—and we've watched it come alive.

Today, Wanderlust is a vibrant sanctuary: three homes hosting up to 35 guests, lush gardens, two swimming pools, a hot tub, fruit trees, wildlife, and peace. People arrive and tell us they feel hugged by the energy here.

An Urgent Threat

In 2023, chainsaws arrived at the property next door. Forest was being cleared for sale. We begged them to stop and promised to try to protect it. This land is sacred. Monkeys visit. Rare birds nest. It connects to a protected marsh. It needs guardianship, not bulldozers.

What Will Happen Without Action

Without immediate intervention, this unique rainforest will be bulldozed for development, destroying critical wildlife habitat and contributing to the ongoing deforestation crisis in Costa Rica.

What We Can Create Together

With your help, we can transform this threatened land into a protected permaculture sanctuary, preserving biodiversity, educating communities, and inspiring a regenerative future.

Our Vision & Mission

We dream of expanding Wanderlust into a nonprofit permaculture sanctuary that protects nature while nourishing communities. Your support makes this possible.

Regenerative Food Forest

Create a thriving ecosystem of diverse plants, trees, and wildlife that demonstrates how humans and nature can coexist harmoniously.

Community Support

Grow organic food and eggs to donate to local families in need, while providing educational programs on conservation and sustainable living.

Healing Sanctuary

Create trails for guests to walk, reflect, and heal, alongside a small wellness center to support the conservation efforts and food forest.

What People Are Saying

Hear from those who have experienced the magic of Wanderlust and previous retreat participants.

Spending 8 days in the heart of Costa Rica was nothing short of life-changing. Surrounded by the jungle’s raw beauty—birds calling from the treetops, sloths napping in the trees, monkeys swinging overhead—I felt myself returning to something ancient and true. The setting is rustic, wild, and deeply healing.

But it’s not just the land that transforms you—it’s the programming. Every session was woven with care, grounding, and profound insight. The energy of the environment amplified the work, allowing deep learning and personal awakening to unfold naturally. This wasn’t just a retreat—it was a rebirth. allowing deep learning and personal awakening to unfold naturally.

If you’re feeling the nudge, take it. Say yes. You will come home changed. This is more than a trip—it’s the journey of your life.

I am filled with the most amazing energy and gratitude for the Ungrind Revolution Retreat in Costa Rica.

As an entrepreneur, I've been wanting to make a bigger impact in the world, while also as someone who is recovering from burnout, I want to do that with ease and joy.

I found that inspiration here. Every speaker, every participant, and every divine conversation has offered such richness and support for my journey as I step into a bigger level of my business. I now have a clear idea of how to step forward in a powerful way.

I'm so grateful for Robert and his crew! They created such a safe and fun environment to explore and grow.

I'm so excited to return next June for another amazing adventure!!

The Ungrind Retreat in Costa Rica completely transformed the way I think and feel about my business.

Although I’ve heard a lot of this business advice before, it really clicked this time! By being in this amazing location and surrounded by peers and mentors I was able to really understand the ways that I can uplevel my business and my relationship with myself

Sarah Thorman

I simply love being with powerful, conscious, heart-centered leaders who are making a big different in the world. Not just learning from them at a conference but hanging out with them as peers, friends and allies at a gorgeous destination retreats! That’s what this Ungrind Revolution retreat in Costa Rica has been for me. I have learned, been inspired and grown my business so much while here! All while enjoying the gorgeous landscape of Costa Rica and having fun

Julia Mikk

I am at the Ungrind Revolution retreat in Costa Rica. I am just starting my business and am in awe of the talent at the retreat.

Robert’s team has been phenomenal and the venue is beyond beautiful. I am eternally grateful for this experience

Jane Cooke

I am honored to return to Villa Wanderlust again as one of the Leaders for the next Ungrind Retreat. The experience is deeply transformational, the relationships are irreplaceable and the venue is magical. I look forward to helping you learn how to create your own version of a freedom lifestyle business!

Jay Fairbrother

Most retreats I’ve been to have us going from 9am to 9pm, trying to give us as much content as possible; except by the end of day 2, I’m exhausted and taking in way less than I could normally. Ungrind has given me so much value while I also giving me time to relax.

We’ve spent as much time playing as learning, which has created powerful bonds between the people here.

People are becoming fast friends and business collaborators while stepping into better versions of themselves. This is transformation done right. It’s empowering me and it’s empowering my business.

Shiraz Baboo

I spent a week at the Ungrind Retreat in Costa Rica where we slowed down so we could speed up!. The rainforest opened my mind and heart.

Every session filled me with fresh energy. I made friends I’ll keep for life. Best of all, I came home with a clear, simple plan for the lifestyle business I want—and deserve.

If you need focus, inspiration, and real support, join the next retreat.

Catharine O'Leary

The difference between growth and transformation is monumental - growth will cause you to reach the limits of your cocoon while transformation is what makes you the butterfly.

The Ungrind Revolution is where transformation happens and I’m so privileged to have been a part of this journey with Robert, his team, and the other incredible humans I got to play with. Thank You!
