Loving and Living Life to the Fullest

 

TwoCan Retreats hosts all-inclusive transformational retreats in Costa Rica designed to help you live fully in the present — to be one with nature, reconnect with your highest self, build meaningful community, give back, and have fun.

Our retreats create heart-opening experiences that foster healing and deeper connections — to yourself, to others, to the environment, and to all living beings. We believe these heart connections are the foundation for lasting happiness and a sustainable, joyful life.

At TwoCan Retreats, our mission is to offer a variety of experiences that allow guests to share transformational moments, build connections with friends old and new, explore new places, cultures, and cuisine, and enjoy incredible adventures — all while nurturing the heart, giving back to the community, and creating memories that last a lifetime. Whether it’s our Grief Retreats in Costa Rica or our Community Singing and Yoga Retreats, each experience is designed to help you reconnect with yourself, with others, and with the natural world.

We love Costa Rica — its people, culture, and the Pura Vida way of life, which celebrates simplicity, gratitude, and presence. Costa Ricans are known for living more fully, appreciating the small joys, and prioritizing happiness and wellbeing, making the country the perfect place to pause, immerse yourself in nature, and restore your mind, body, and spirit.

Explore our retreats and discover how TwoCan Retreats can help you live fully, reconnect deeply, and create lasting memories in Costa Rica.


When you want others to be happy, practice compassion; when you want to be happy, practice compassion.

Giving Back & Community Impact

TwoCan Retreats makes it a point to support Costa Rican businesses and their families by using locally grown foods prepared by local chefs, and for the most part goods and services are supplied by local purveyors and vendors.

We know when we contribute in ways both big and small, we build connections that make our lives richer and fuller. TwoCan Retreats provides at least one service opportunity during every group retreat. These are optional participation, of course, but whether or not you join the activity, rest assured, you are contributing. TwoCan Retreats also donates a portion of its proceeds to local causes and nonprofits that directly impact the community, its wildlife, and the environment.

We volunteer our time and donate to local fundraisers and nonprofits while simultaneously learning all we can about the organization, their mission and who they serve. It is our goal to empower people in their communities to develop their own resources and continue to grow on their own, so we take their lead and support their ongoing efforts in a way that is meaningful to them.


Your Hosts

Partners in love, work and play, Mike & Stacy McCrory are co-founders of TwoCan Retreats & Regional Directors for the Waves of Grief Collective™, and enjoy hosting Waves of Grief Community Drop-in Sessions on the second Sunday of every month in Santa Barbara, CA.

Mike & Stacy endured the tragic loss of their oldest son in 2016, and have made meaning in hosting and facilitating healing experiences focused on learning to ride the waves of grief, love and loss, and choosing to engage in a life worth living.

These programs seek to re-imagine how we navigate grief and loss – how making space for grief in our lives frees us up to experience more joy – enriching not only our own lives, but the lives of those around us.

Mike and Stacy are firm believers in the power of community and interconnectedness, promoting the healing power of compassion, and acts of loving kindness, demonstrating that grace, gratitude and genuine respect can in fact make the world a kinder and more peaceful place.

Together, they’ve raised four beautiful kids in and around the ocean. They adore their friends and family, love to travel, play outdoors and meet new people. They especially love Costa Rica and can’t wait to share it with you!
