For many men, life splits to “before and after Costa Rica” because this week delivers a rare mix of experiences that hits you on every level: raw jungle renews your system and makes you feel alive again; time away from noise clears your head and shows you what truly matters (and what doesn’t); the most honest conversations with men who become your brothers makes you suddenly see your life, relationships, and choices through new perspectives; and guided rites of passages help you shed old patterns, close a chapter, and step into the next one with clarity and direction.
