Re-Align with your Inner Compass
COSTA RICA

A Women Loving Women Retreat in Costa Rica

​You may be wondering what this trip is all about… Well, we hope so. This isn’t just a sightseeing trip to a lush and gorgeous country — though you’ll certainly have the opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, zip-lining, surfing, swimming, boogie boarding and encountering all kinds of creatures. Those are some of the special experiences that are commonly equated with Costa Rica. Beyond those usual incredible features, the  intention of our program is to create a life changing experience that catalyzes powerful change from within. The kind of transformation that begins at the source - your own inner compass.

Join us to re-awakening the parts of ourselves that are ready to shine even brighter.

​You will be led through this experience by two passionate women who will guide you deeper into clarity of vision and depth of soul. We will weave a loving web of connection to ourselves and one another where shift happens with grace, true presence and laughter.

​

This is a journey of remembering who we really are. We will support you in returning to a path of wholeness where presence, curiosity, and joy reveal the original, undamaged pearl within. It is here where we can relax and trust that all is well.

​

​

The past is memory, the future an idea — presence is where life truly happens. Together, we will savor each auspicious moment as it unfolds, while also celebrating with fun, laughter, camaraderie, and deep gratitude.

​

This retreat is an invitation to rediscover your inner spark and to realign with the steady truth within you — the place where wisdom, joy, and peace naturally rise to the surface, allowing you to return to your life more aligned, more radiant, more joyful and more you.

​

With Great Love & Anticipation, 

Jody & Claire
