About this trip

Many women spend years caring for others, building careers, and putting themselves last. This retreat is an opportunity to pause and invest in yourself for a change — surrounded by nature, meaningful experiences, and a supportive group of women.

Exclusive Rainforest Retreat Experience – Your journey begins with a scenic private charter flight along Costa Rica’s Pacific coastline before arriving at a secluded retreat tucked into the rainforest mountains above Dominical. Surrounded by lush jungle, nature trails, and a private waterfall, the peaceful grounds offer a rare setting designed for rest, reflection, and connection.

Guided Workshops for Reflection & Life Transitions – Throughout the week, thoughtfully guided workshops explore themes such as identity, purpose, and relationships, creating space to reflect on where you are in life and what feels meaningful moving forward.

Evenings of Music, Movement & Connection – Sound healing, medicine music, drumming circles, bonfires, and playful game nights are just a glimpse of the shared experiences woven throughout the retreat, creating space for laughter, creativity, and meaningful connection.

Arrival Day

Welcome to Costa Rica! Your journey begins with a short scenic private charter flight to our retreat center, departing at 9:30 AM and lasting about 20 minutes. Flying low over Costa Rica’s lush landscape offers a beautiful introduction to the adventure ahead. From there, it’s a short drive to the retreat center that will be our home for the next seven days.

Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a refreshing mocktail and shown to your room. Take some time to settle in, explore the grounds, or enjoy a dip in the pool before we gather for our first group lunch together.

After lunch, we’ll come together for an Opening Circle, where we’ll meet as a group, set intentions for the days ahead, and begin our shared journey. The afternoon will then be free to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

In the evening, we’ll gather for a welcome dinner featuring nourishing vegan cuisine, followed by a deeply restorative sound healing session led by a local Costa Rican practitioner. Using the soothing vibrations of alchemy bowls, traditional Tibetan bowls, and delicate chimes, this immersive experience encourages deep relaxation, emotional release, and a sense of inner harmony.

Included:

  • Transportation: Private charter flight (20 minutes)

  • Activities: Opening Circle; Sound healing

  • Meals: Welcome mocktail, Lunch, Dinner

  • Accommodation: Private retreat center (exclusive to our group)

We recommend arriving in San José the day before to ensure you don’t miss the charter flight. Guests staying at the designated pre-tour hotel will have complimentary transportation to the airport arranged that morning, while those staying elsewhere can make their own way to the domestic terminal.

If you prefer to arrive on the same day, we recommend arriving in San José by 7:00 AM to comfortably make the connecting charter flight that departs at 9:30 AM.  Detailed meeting instructions will be provided once the trip is confirmed.

After lunch, the afternoon is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Relax by the pool, book a spa treatment, wander the jungle trails, or simply unwind and take in the peaceful surroundings.

In the late afternoon, we gather for a reflective workshop, Writing Your Next Chapter, exploring themes of identity, reinvention, and the possibilities that lie ahead. After dinner, the evening continues with a relaxed game night — a chance to laugh, connect, and enjoy time together.
