Welcome! I'm Jesse, a Travel + Tourism Designer and Host, Chopra Mindfulness Meditation Guide and Founder of Connection Creators.


I enjoy guiding individuals through our unique and captivating experiences around the globe while keeping in mind that the integration of your enriching experience abroad with your daily life at home is a deep-rooted prerequisite for meaningful and lasting change.

Karolina Kuraj

Karolina Kuraj

Hello! I’m Karolina, the Connection Catalyst and a Manifestation Mentor. An engineer by trade and energy healer at heart, I have helped countless people change their beliefs, remove stress, boost their confidence and step into their full potential.


With degrees in Energy Engineering, including a Masters in Sustainable Energy and multiple semesters spent studying in countries like Denmark, Poland, Australia, Estonia, Germany and Singapore, I landed on a path of a successful and comfortable career.


There was one problem. I felt misaligned. An unfulfilling direction is probably a story many of us can relate to.


Although I couldn’t imagine stepping out of the confines of society’s matrix, I slowly began to develop my own practical strategies and then apply what I knew about energy to the human experience.


Today, my results-driven teachings span the globe.


I’ve spent the last 10 years traveling to over 20 countries developing myself personally and spiritually and working alongside world-renowned thought leaders, international speakers and best selling authors such as Dr. Bruce Lipton, Teal Swan and Gregg Braden.


I went on to become an advanced PSYCH-K® facilitator, a Completion Process Certified Practitioner, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Practitioner, and The Emotion Code™ facilitator amongst completing many other certifications and trainings.


I developed my own modality called Master Manifestation Method™ which releases stored energy blocks, reprograms the neuro-pathways responsible for your perception, and ultimately leads to a happier and more positive lifestyle.


When I’m not hosting my SoulFam Podcast, facilitating healing sessions, guiding meditations or plant medicine ceremonies, I enjoy learning about psychotherapy, playing or listening to music, dancing, traveling and spending time in Costa Rica with like-minded people also on their personal development journey.


"When you free yourself from limiting beliefs and emotions, you are able to live a life full of unconditional love, pure joy, personal power and fulfilment."

Daniel Mora Robinson

Daniel Mora Robinson

Hello, I'm Daniel, a passionate Tico born and raised in Costa Rica.


Giving love through arts is my passion, mainly playing music and hosting ceremonies. Exploring music as my spiritual practice has lead me into a journey of playing over 50 instruments, which has had a deep impact on me using art as a way of activism for awareness.


Uniqueness is an important part of my art, striving for an ecological enhancement by creating consciousness about topics that don't feel talked about enough.


My music style is an eclectic combination of influences by the culture and sounds of the indigenous tribes of America, somewhere between world music and folk rooted on ancestral wisdom.


Composing is a natural practice for my mental health. I have a need of expressing with beauty so when I feel inspired I use photography and writing as my channel to communicate freely.

Day 3 - Relaxation

While traveling through a new country, we believe it is vital to experience the local culture and native traditions. Cacao ceremonies were first introduced thousands of years ago, originating all the way back to Mayan and Aztec traditions in Central and South America. This Shaman led ritualistic sacred circle involves consuming rich dark cacao in a safe, fun and uplifting environment. It provides an opportunity for us to come together whilst perhaps seeding new intentions, sharing heart-felt insights, releasing stress, enhancing creativity and feeling reenergized, alert, and connected. Later in the day, we will be guided for a rejuvenating private yoga class at one of the most beautiful Oceana Shala's on Costa Rica followed by a delicious dinner prepared at Jade by our private chef.

Your travels back home do not need to be a dreadful and upsetting experience.

What if you were excited to go back home? What if you had an entirely renewed outlook on how you want your life to look going forward. That's our goal. You see, traveling on holiday isn't so different from traveling through life. Actually, they are quite similar. There are many solutions for the integration of your experience subsequent to your travels, to improve your life and overall well being.

This isn't a ten day experience that we stuff in our closet when we get home. It's part of a lifelong journey that profoundly shapes who you are and the decisions you make. Our intention is for you to gain valuable insight, community, and inspiration to design the life you were meant to live.

Trip Tips

About Costa Rica

About Costa Rica

A conscious travelers dream, Costa Rica has become synonymous with all an unspoiled tropical paradise can be. Blessed with beaches and biodiversity, this verdant land of misty volcanoes, roaring rivers, and exotic jungles is the perfect place to reconnect to yourself and unwind in nature. Throw in the friendly, educated (98% rate of literacy) Ticos (males) and Ticas (females) as Costa Ricans are known, and you can see why down here they embrace a Pura Vida lifestyle. Pura Vida - "pure life"; to live a peaceful, simple, uncluttered life with deep appreciation of nature, family and friends; a "real living" that reflects happiness, well-being and satisfaction. WIth an abundance of wildlife (over 500,000 species) and miles of gorgeous coastline, soak up the ambience and natural beauty of Costa Rica's centuries old rainforests and jaw dropping scenery. Fun fact: Costa Rica = "The Rich Coast." Costa Rica is one of the only countries in the world that generates more than 99% of its electricity using renewable energy with a powerful commitment to sustainability. In addition, it became the first tropical country to have stopped and reversed deforestation. Costa Rica enjoys warm weather year round. There are only two seasons - the rainy season and the dry season. The dry season lasts from December to May. The rainy season lasts from June to November.

Getting There

Getting There

We highly recommend that you fly into Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO). Please keep in mind that our experience program officially begins on Friday, May 5th and you do not want to miss our private flight to Nosara! Be sure to give yourself additional time, just in case there are flight delays or cancellations. Some of our guests take a red-eye and arrive the morning of May 5th, however, we encourage you to arrive at least one day earlier to get acclimated to your surroundings (jet lag, adapt, etc.) or do a bit of exploring on your own. If you do plan on arriving earlier, please let us know and we are happy to offer accommodation and city guide suggestions for you. To give you an idea, a nice airbnb in San José for one night is less than $75 a night.

Reviews

"I connected with my tribe! We went on epic adventures, had deep heart to heart talks, swapped SO much knowledge, helped each other pursue our dreams and met some of our best friends in this world. I'll cherish these moments forever and I'm so thankful for Jesse for bringing us all together. It was the first time in my life where I had that "AH HA' moment & truly started to believe there really was more for me in this life. My perspectives shifted, my mind grew and my life changed. It was in this place with these people where I realized it was possible for me to be the author of my life and make the change I always knew I could."

“I was a little apprehensive about booking an experience with a travel service. After all, I’d always been a solo traveller navigating my own path. How wrong was I. Traveling with Jesse gave me an opportunity to make lifelong friends. An insight into how to grow as a person and take the best traits of people's personalities to make your own. I truly felt like I’d made a connection. They say you meet people in this life for a season, a reason or a lifetime. I’m looking forward to the lifetime of friendships from this traveling encounter.”

Yan Yates

"Life changing experiences & connections like this are not only hard to come by, but they are also hard to understand if you've never truly encountered them. We embarked on a week-long adventure into the unknown that is everything we didn't even know we needed until going through it. From masterminds about business, to deep convos within life, epic views & excursions - the last 7 days are some I will never forget. Jesse, the founder of Connection Creators, asked us all what we want to integrate within our lives that impacted us during the experience. Right away, I knew my answer: Coming home from this trip, I want to integrate looking through the lens of curiosity. To be a sponge in all areas of my life & soak in the knowledge and wisdom that is shared with me in order to pass along to others. I also commit to putting more energy into connecting with like-minded humans and putting our strengths together to serve the world with our hearts & spread love like it's candy. Stay tuned for upcoming trips, you're not going to want to miss one - trust me."

“There is no more fulfilling traveling experience than one with Jesse. No matter which corner of the globe you go to, you can rest assured that a full allotment of quality experiences will be on your itinerary. Good drinks, fine local cuisine, and immersive adventures that make you feel like you are traveling with a native to the region. Anyone who gets the opportunity to travel with him should consider themselves fortunate!”

Traveling with Jesse is easily one of the top experiences and adventures I can add to my life. He is constantly bringing the energy, curiosity and flow your trip NEEDS to feel like you are at the edge of the passenger seat. Giggling through lush jungle passages, curious about the local flavor & smiling from sunrise to sunset. Adaptable, easy going and free spirited Jesse makes you feel seen, heard and inspires you to really soak up LIFE and what the world has to offer. Whether it’s one day, a full week or just in passing, Jesse continues to change my life."

"Jesse went above and beyond. What I loved the most was just feeling very present with the people Jesse brought together. This trip helped me come out of a low point in my life. I've come to the conclusion through my experiences in life that nothing matters more than connection. Whether that's with friends, family, or even yourself. This trip is the embodiment of what it truly means to connect with one another. Looking back, I've met some of my now, closest friends from joining the last two travel experiences Jesse has hosted. If you want to truly get out of your comfort zone, and go to amazing places with amazing people, then this is exactly what you're looking for."

FAQs

A community like ours doesn't happen by chance, it's intentional.


Are you looking for open-minded, like-minded and value-minded people to grow with, learn from and travel with? Leave it up to us. We carefully select individuals to join our epic retreats, creating an intimate and enriching experience for everyone.


Can you positively contribute? Although it requires time and effort to fill out our short form here, it's important that every applicant takes a moment to decide if our community-focused and collaborative approach to traveling is something they are open to.


There are no wrong answers, just an opportunity to be the real you. Once you have answered just a few questions and your form is complete, our team will immediately get in touch to schedule a connection call so we can get to know each other!


All we ask is that you make the effort to connect with us before you hand over your hard earned money. After speaking with each guest after their experience, they sincerely thank us for our approach and can better understand why we also make the effort on our end.



We are excited to share that we have upgraded our platform to offer a clear and more user friendly experience for you! For this particular experience to Costa Rica, we are staying at Jade Resort. On the "Book Now" page, please choose a room that suits you before checking out. The total investment is reflective of the entire experience including meals, activities, etc. You will receive a discount if you bring a friend!



Our experiences are not designed for everyone. They are intentionally curated to encompass four main components (our values).



When was the last time you did something for the first time? You have two choices. To experience adventure or remain limited by the constant fear of it.


  • Our quest to choose adventure: We encourage you to try something you have never done before. To interrupt your predictable daily routine with a burst of wonder, awe and novelty. We help guide you outside your comfort zone - to embrace the challenge and remind you what you're capable of.



Alone we may be successful, but unfulfilled we will remain. Life is more meaningful when shared. We were created for community.


  • Our quest to grow our community: Questions are powerful tools. We design thought-provoking and inquisitive questions to find commonalities, foster connection and build valuable relationships. Through gaining a better understanding of one another we create the environment for meaningful conversations and a true sense of friendship.



Do you encourage, inspire, uplift and empower others?


  • Our quest to create impact: We promote an inviting, non-judgmental environment where you are free to add value to others, in ways big or small. Where you feel comfortable to share your stories in a group where you are both seen and heard. We support and push one another to grow and expand. We offer a helping hand and pay it forward. Lastly, we give back to the local community.



What usually happens when you arrive back home after a travel experience? Do the post travel blues kick in? Sometimes you fall right back into the rut of life. You feel inspired but no one at home can comprehend the experience you just had. Maintaining a sense of connection after your travel experience is vital.


  • Our quest to support integration: We carve out the time for reflection and gratitude while you travel. We provide you with the resources to capture your experience and bring it home safely with you. We mindfully nudge you to remain plugged in to the community for support, to adopt new healthy habits and practices in your everyday life and plan your next travel experience, with us :)



The most extraordinary and fulfilling achievements in life are experienced in collaboration and alliance with others. We are amazed at what people can accomplish when they are open-minded and committed to fully showing up and working through their challenges and successes together.


A mastermind is a group of individuals who support, inspire and learn from each other. In the best mastermind groups, you’ll find mindfully curated questions and highly motivated leaders who solve problems together, share advice, and push each other to achieve massive success.


Our Mastermind led events do just that. Our main intentions are to foster connection, embrace vulnerability and drive growth.


There is a priceless value that you can add to another individual in an honest and meaningful way through your own past experiences. You may not have thought of yourself in this light, however, we all have this ability.


Expect to grow your network, elevate your mindset, expand your skillsets and gain support. All in an intimate and nonjudgemental environment curated on connection, to help you improve and reach your goals both personally and professionally.



To step into your true and authentic self. To embrace your quirks and imperfections. To feel accepted and not judged from the people around you. Are these goals of yours?


We seek and share insights. We encourage storytelling. We add value. We embrace vulnerability. We Mastermind. And yes, we travel to the most epic and captivating destinations around the globe.


You'll notice thorough attention to detail with several personalized and thoughtful touches baked into the experience. We maintain a mindful approach with a commitment to our core purpose of organizing an incomparable and invigorating experience to reignite each and every one of your senses.


Travel is without a doubt one of the strongest tools we have to bring people together and foster connection. If you’re open to it, travel can be an expansive experience providing inspiration for your outer journey with a renewed perspective for your inner journey.


If these words deeply resonate with you, then this experience is for you. Take the risk. You owe it to yourself.




Depending on the destination we travel to, each day will been mindfully curated for you to experience only the best each location has to offer.


We’ve done the research for you. Trust us when we say that if it’s on our itinerary, it’s worth doing.


Our carefully-designed itineraries are formed with our professional partners.


The ability to meet so many authentic and genuine people during our personal and professional experiences has been a priceless positive, as this has led to countless invaluable friendships with the natives of countries all around the globe. These relationships have allowed us to acquire special knowledge and gain an introspective view as to the unique and often obscure places and activities that certain countries have to offer.


We partner with reputable and trusted professionals on the ground in our destinations who only guide and operate trips with extensive knowledge, because it’s an important job, and well, an experience through the eyes of a local is just better.


You’re in great hands. This is our personal promise to you.




A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet. Read that again.


The success of an experience often depends on the atmosphere that surrounds it. People are social beings, and therefore the company has a huge impact on the overall feeling of the trip. We believe who you travel with is more important than where you go or what you do.


An organized group travel experience has more to offer than you may realize.


When you bring like-minded individuals together, something unique happens. Shared interests and life-changing experiences tend to bond people together, in ways unimaginable. Group travel makes even the farthest and most exotic destinations feel safe and accessible. It affords travelers opportunities to collectively connect with local cultures on a more meaningful level and make a positive impact on the places they visit.


When you’re in a group, it will help push you outside your familiar to try new things. Through the support and confidence you gain from others, you are more inclined to step outside your comfort zone, and as a result you'll be glad you took the leap.


We can’t do this without YOU. Nearly all of our participants say the highlight of our experiences is the GROUP itself. Whether you are flying solo or traveling with friends, partners or family, if these trips speak to you, then they are for you. Let’s skip the awkward silences and just be friends.
