Homecoming

There comes a point in the transformational journey, where we need to move beyond healing. We need to learn how to actually live. This Homecoming retreat is for the woman who’s already done a lot of healing work - and knows she’s ready for more.

Instead of constantly analyzing patterns, journaling, processing emotions, and tending to generational wounds, it’s time to experience more pleasure, friendship, beauty, adventure, relaxation, and joy.

What better place to reconnect with your sensual, playful, peaceful self than in the magical jungles of Costa Rica? Costa Rica has a way of waking something up because of its waterfalls, ocean, warmth, adventure, simplicity, and beauty.

It invites you out of your head and back into your senses. It reminds you that the world is still full of wonder. Healing is not only about understanding what happened to you. It is also about reclaiming your ability to feel safe in joy.

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for you if:

• You are ready for a beautiful, meaningful, soul-nourishing experience
• You want to practice receiving more pleasure, support, adventure, and ease
• You have done enough healing to know you are ready for more than survival
• You want a retreat that blends depth with spaciousness
• You want connection with other growth-oriented women
• You are willing to be present, open, and engaged
• You want to bring more aliveness home with you

This is a retreat for women who are ready to let life get better.

This Is Not Just a Trip

Yes, we’ll be in a beautiful beach town. There will be waterfalls, adventure, ocean air, delicious food, and spacious time to rest. But this retreat is about more than going somewhere beautiful. It is about learning how to be fully there while you are there.

You may know how to work hard, hold everything together, take care of everyone else, and push through difficult seasons. But pleasure, spaciousness, ease, being fully supported and letting life feel good can be new territory. This retreat is designed to show you that you can feel safe while enjoying your life.

What We’ll Explore

During our time together, I’ll guide you through teachings, practices, conversations, and experiential activities focused on:

• Presence: getting out of your head and into your actual life
• Appreciation: training your mind and body to notice what is already beautiful
• Pleasure: expanding your capacity to enjoy, receive, and feel good
• Nervous system safety: preparing your body to receive a peak experience
• Self-sabotage: noticing the subtle ways you may block joy, ease, and receiving
• Embodiment: learning how to let your body participate in joy, not just survival
• Integration: bringing this way of being home with you

This will not be a packed, over-scheduled retreat where you need a vacation after your vacation. The pace will be gentle, spacious, and intentional. There will be room for connection, adventure, and rest. The goal is to take home a new capacity for living.

The Retreat Experience Includes

A Pre-Retreat Gathering

A month or so before we leave, we’ll gather in person with a virtual option available. This will give us a chance to connect, prepare, ask questions, and begin creating the group container.

Five Nights in Tamarindo, Costa Rica

We’ll stay at Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort, a beautiful resort in the heart of Tamarindo with beach access, pools, restaurants nearby, and walkable access to the town.

Daily Breakfast

Breakfast is included each day at the resort.

Mini-Lessons and Experiential Practices

Throughout the retreat, I’ll offer spacious teachings and practices to help you deepen into presence, appreciation, pleasure, and receiving.

Two Group Excursions

We’ll have two group adventures:

• A waterfall hike, which was a life-changing experience for me
• One additional group-selected adventure, such as a full-day adventure with horseback riding, ziplining, hot springs, and a meal, or whitewater rafting

Spacious Free Time

You’ll have time to rest, walk the beach, explore Tamarindo, enjoy the pool, schedule a massage, try surfing, go horseback riding on the beach, or simply be still.

Post-Retreat Integration Session

After we return home, we’ll gather virtually to integrate the experience and explore how to bring this energy, presence, and way of being back into everyday life.

We’ll fly into Liberia, Costa Rica on November 4. From there, arranged transportation will take us to our resort in Tamarindo, which is approximately a 90-minute to 2-hour drive.

Each participant will book her own flight. Once our group is formed, I’ll help coordinate timing so we can arrive in Liberia around the same window when possible.

Lodging Options

We’ll be staying at Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort. There are two room categories available.

Ocean View Rooms

These rooms offer beautiful views of the beach and ocean. You’ll be able to fall asleep to the sound of the waves, which is one of my favorite things in the world.

• 2 people: $877 per person
• 3 people: $660 per person

These rooms are located across the street from the ocean and do not have an ocean view, but they are still in a beautiful setting overlooking a large pool area.

I recommend a 2-person room for comfort, but we can coordinate roommates in whatever way feels best for the group.
