Rest   ➾   Regenerate   ➾   Create   ➾   Activate! 

Nosara, Costa Rica

is one of 5 Blue Zones in the world

(where some of the happiest, healthiest, longest living folks live).  It's a place where magic is alive, healing potential is amplified, and the opportunity to fine tune your story is 


In this time where community, attention, and intention is our greatest currency, we are coming together to fill up.

In a big way.

 

A group of very intentional women will gather to:

Go a little further inward than they may have thought they could go.

Take meditations, yoga nidra, journeys and ceremony to a new edge.

And to dive into the Unknown with great skill and trust.

What you can expect to feel woven through this sacred gathering:

 

 

Spaciousness of being.

A more steady and focused mind.​

A generous and loving coherent heart and mind. 

Energetically and psychologically empowered.

A masterfully attuned inner-spiritual tool-kit.

The natural stored ancestral memory of pure blissful awareness.

Clarity about how to apply the magical to the practical.

Let's take a look at the rhythm:
 

Please note, this list shares some of the things we’ll be “doing.”

But, what I can’t quite put into words is the magnitude of the experience.

When we step outside of past programming and patterning,

the blame and guilt cycle

(it’s all because of society, or that person,

or this experience/ I should, or I’m supposed to feel, do, or think)

and actually attune to the power of who we are in presence,

we become infinite.  

So while there are beautiful doings listed below, I just want to be clear, we’re really coming together to tend to the BEING. 

 

From that place we can look into our future and get very clear on what and how we want to create, express, feel, and experience in this gift of Life.

The Rhythm

Our days will begin in silence with Tea Ceremony or Meditation. 

Most days we’ll have movement—some days very gentle, some days with more fire. 

Every day, we’ll have a rest practice. 

We’ll gather in ceremony—to Grieve, to Release, to Honor, to Vision. 

I’ve also invited a few wonderful friends to tend our circle and to widen our scope of experience.

We'll have drum journeys, visioning practice, and lots of journaling time/scribing what you want to bring back home with you.

We’ll spend time in the jungle, on the beach, and in our VERY comfortable hotel and practice space.

Rest & Adventure


One full day is reserved for pure rest or exploration. You might choose to:


Take a surf lesson 

Horseback ride along the ocean


Visit a local coffee farm


Boat to Pink Island

Go whale watching

Wander the shops or join a class at a local studio.

There are so many.

That evening, we’ll gather at one of my (other) favorite restaurants in Nosara for a shared meal. 

And on another special night, we’ll experience a full La Cosecha dining immersion with pairings—more of a fine dining experience.

Details and Accommodations

Nosara, Costa Rica is a super special place.

Magical things happen here.

And quickly.

So if there's healing or creating that wants a little turbo charge, this might be your spot.

Our Restaurant, La Cosecha is wrapped in a beautiful little boutique hotel, The White Palms Nosara (there are 2 giant white palm trees at the entrance and they are spectacular!).

 

We will have the entire space all to ourselves, 3 pools and a concierge to help organize any outings you're interested in.

The In-Between Moments


In the spaces between, you’ll have access to:
A Light Therapy Facial
Ozone Cold Plunge
Pool time

Extra Beach Time

 

We can also arrange for massage or bodywork to come directly to our space. 

Everything is designed to be easeful, nourishing, and spacious.

 

I want you to come to a space where you can be cooked for, cleaned up after, held in ceremony, loved, witnessed, appreciated and nourished.

So that you can leave feeling clear, whole, rested and resourced.

White Palms Hotel

Guiones Beach is our beach. It’s long. It’s wild. No buildings.  Just jungle and ocean.  The best!

 

You can fly into San Jose, but it’s then a 5 hour drive or a small jumper plane (Sansa Air).

 

Liberia Airport is the closest.  And our concierge can arrange a shared shuttle.

Not Included:

 

Airfare to and from Costa Rica

Ground transportation from Liberia Airport to La Cosecha & White Palms Hotel.

(Though we have a concierge who can help organize your transport.  Usually it's about $60 for shared shuttle, $180 for private car). 

One dinner out in town.  One night, we'll go out to dinner outside of La Cosecha.  I have a spot in mind, but you're welcome to stay close and get take-out if you want to rest.

If you are taking a shuttle from Liberia to Nosara, you will not need a car during the retreat.​  We will walk to the beach, and we will carpool for our dinner out.
