CENTENARIAN SERIES: PICKLEBALL RETREAT
SCHEDULE
Immerse Yourself in Five Cultures
Our unique 5-day retreat is structured to immerse you in the lifestyles of the world’s longest-living populations. Each day, we focus on a different longevity zone:
Loma Linda, USA
Okinawa, Japan
Ikaria, Greece
Sardinia, Italy
Nicoya, Costa Rica
This day-by-day approach allows you to fully experience the diet, activities, and cultural practices that contribute to longevity in each region. From Loma Linda’s plant-based cuisine to Okinawa’s traditional wellness practices, Ikaria’s Mediterranean diet to Sardinia’s mountain walks, and Nicoya’s emphasis on family and purpose, you’ll gain insights into the diverse factors that promote healthy aging across the globe.
By the end of the retreat, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of longevity principles and practical tools to incorporate into your own life, all while enjoying the camaraderie of pickleball and the beauty of Carmel Valley.
