Loving and Living Life Fully
TwoCan Retreats hosts all-inclusive transformational retreats in Costa Rica designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and engage more fully with your life. Rooted in nature, community, and meaningful experience, our retreats invite you to be fully present — with yourself, with one another, and with the natural world.
We create thoughtfully curated experiences that foster connection, reflection, adventure, and service. Whether through our grief retreats in Costa Rica or our community events in Santa Barbara, each retreat is designed to support authentic connection, personal exploration and our shared humanity.
We are continually inspired by Costa Rica — its people, culture, and the spirit of Pura Vida, which honors simplicity, gratitude, and presence. It is a place that encourages slowing down, embracing nature and remembering what truly matters.
Explore our retreats and discover how time away — immersed in community and the natural world — can help you return home more grounded, connected and alive.
“When you want others to be happy, practice compassion; when you want to be happy, practice compassion.”
Giving Back & Community Impact
Supporting local communities is central to our mission. We partner with Costa Rican chefs, farmers, guides, and small businesses, prioritizing locally sourced food and services whenever possible.
Each retreat includes an optional service opportunity, allowing guests to contribute directly to the community. In addition, a portion of retreat proceeds supports local nonprofits and initiatives that protect wildlife, strengthen families, and steward the environment.
Our approach is collaborative and respectful. We listen, learn, and follow the lead of local organizations, supporting their ongoing work in ways that are meaningful and sustainable.
Your Hosts
Mike and Stacy McCrory are partners in life and co-founders of TwoCan Retreats, as well as Regional Directors for the Waves of Grief Collective™. In addition to leading grief retreats in Costa Rica and weekend retreats Santa Barbara, they host monthly Waves of Grief community gatherings at the beach in Santa Barbara.
After the loss of their oldest son in 2016, they committed themselves to creating spaces where grief can be met with honesty and compassion. Their work invites participants to learn how to carry loss while continuing to engage fully in life.
Rooted in their love of the ocean, family, and community, Mike and Stacy believe grief is meant to be carried together and that healing happens in community.
