Our world has seen examples of ways in which over capacity tourism and unsustainable travel behaviors can have a detrimental impact on our environment. At Paper & Diamond, we firmly believe in reserving our carbon footprint budget for the most impactful travel moments possible and aim to produce them for our discerning clientele. Thus, it is our pleasure to announce Sensorial Renewal, an upcoming luxury yoga and wellness retreat in partnership with the renowned Imiloa Institute in Costa Rica, taking place on April 8 - 13, 2021.
