The Story of ReCenter told by our founder ben lee
re:center began as a personal reckoning. Founder Ben Lee spent years burning the candle at both ends, building some of the world’s most iconic digital brands, leading companies, and chasing success with little space for stillness. What he craved wasn’t another hack. It was a different way of being.
re:center was born from that need. A place to recalibrate. To feel again. To reconnect to clarity, nature, and the body. Merging his design background with a deep study of wellness, Ben created a space where nervous system repair meets aesthetic precision.
Today, as a coach and retreat leader, he helps high performers walk that same path—trading burnout for presence and speed for depth. Ben continues to share what he’s learned, not as an expert above, but as someone who’s been there. re:center is his invitation to pause, reflect, and reset.
Nestled between mountains and THE sea, re:center is a sanctuary to find balance and inner peace
Getting to Santa Teresa is surprisingly easy. Most travelers fly into San José (SJO) or Liberia (LIR)—both major international airports with multiple daily flights from the U.S. Once you arrive, you're just a short domestic flight or scenic drive away.
Santa Teresa
the philosophy behind re:center & our culture
Born from burnout and built with precision, re:center is our response to a world that rarely slows down. This intimate, high-design sanctuary in the jungle invites founders, seekers, and high performers to reset their nervous systems, drop into deep creative work, and remember who they are.
Health over Hustle
We believe rest is productive. Our spaces are designed to slow you down so you can return to life more aligned, more creative, and more alive
Community, Your Way
Whether you’re here to connect deeply or go inward quietly, re:center meets you where you are at. Community is at the core, but connection is always on your terms.
Curation over chaos
From the people to the playlists to the furniture—we put care into every detail. Everything here is intentional, so that your nervous system can feel the difference.
Presence over Performance
This is a space to unplug, unwind, and be fully here—not to prove anything, post everything, or chase productivity for its own sake.
Integration over Extremes
We believe in balance. That’s why we offer mezcal and meditation, work sprints and hammock time. True transformation sticks when it’s integrated.
