We recommend that you fly into Liberia, and book a shuttle through Blue Spirit, which costs $60 (not included in your retreat tuition): http://www.bluespiritcostarica.com/shuttle-reservations
No - you will need to book a room nearby and arrive at Blue Spirit on the 25th.
It starts with dinner at 6pm on the first day of the retreat - we recommend that you arrive at Blue Spirit around 4pm to have time to settle in before dinner. Dedication ceremony ends at 9am on the last day.
