Live Alive Leadership

Sunday January 25 - Saturday January 31, 2026

We are thrilled to invite you to join us on a seven day, six night adventure to one of our community's favorite places on the planet, Sansara Resort in Cambutal, Panama.

Founded by Amara DePaul, Nancy Perry, and Laura Rust, we have merged our passions of yoga, travel, adventure, transformation, and community to provide an opportunity for people to comfortably get uncomfortable and experience the beauty of being alive. We believe that experiences are the most valuable currency, and transformation is at the heart of what we do. We curate adventures that allow you to let go and explore what it means to truly live. We cultivate community because experiences are more transformational when they are shared. We are a movement, a message, and a worldwide community.

Imagine a week where leadership development meets adventure, wellness, and community in one of the most breathtaking settings on earth. Live Alive Adventures is thrilled to present our inaugural Leadership Adventure Retreat at the stunning Sansara Resort in Cambutal, Panama.

Instead of escaping your life, discover what it means to live alive.
An opportunity
  • to invest in growth
  • to lead a full life.
Exploring Panama's hidden waterfalls

Designed for business owners, personal development enthusiasts, and individuals who are committed to leaving this world better than they found it, this retreat is a unique opportunity to step into your full potential as a leader. Led by Nancy Perry, Laura Rust, and Amara DePaul – founding partners of Live Alive Adventures and seasoned experts in building businesses, creating transformative communities, and empowering teams – this experience is crafted to help you cultivate the confidence, courage, caring, candor, and creativity needed to lead with purpose, joy, and clarity. Through a blend of exploring proven leadership development skills, connecting to yourself through movement, finding presence and life lessons through surfing, and restoring yourself with nourishing meals, you’ll explore what it means to be a truly happy and powerful leader who makes a difference – not just in business, but in life.

This is not just a getaway – it’s a chance to step away from the distractions of daily life, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and clarify your vision for the future, and get a new set of tools to help you get to your next level. At the end of the week, you’ll leave with a profound sense of clarity about who you are meant to be as a leader and what you’re here to create in the world. Inspired, empowered, and equipped with practical tools, you’ll return home ready to make a meaningful difference – for yourself, your teams, and your community. Join Live Alive Adventures for this first-ever Leadership Adventure Retreat at Sansara Resort and embark on our journey that will transform not only how you lead, but how you live. Spaces are limited – don’t miss this opportunity to invest in your growth and create a legacy you’re proud of.

Each day of this retreat is thoughtfully designed to balance learning, adventure, and connection. Mornings begin with movement and contemplation to ground and energize you, followed by immersive Leadership Development workshops that dive deep into the skills and principles of impactful leadership. Afternoons offer the chance to surf Panama’s pristine waves or connect with like-minded peers in a supportive, inspiring community. Evenings are filled with chef-prepared meals and reflective conversations under the stars, creating space of clarity and growth. Nancy, Laura, and Amara bring over a decade of experience building businesses and teams that deliver transformational experiences – not only for customers but for employees and communities as well. Their passion for helping individuals and organizations create legacies they’re proud of shines through in every aspect of this immersive experience.
