Re-Align with your Inner Compass

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-line, surf, swim, boogie board, encounter all kinds of creatures and visit the sites that make this place so magical. Those are the things that are commonly equated with Costa Rica. But, beyond that, our intention is to create an experience that catalyzes powerful change from within, the kind of transformation that begins at the source -  your own inner compass.

 

This mission, should you decide to accept it, is to journey together through spirit, mind & heart-remembering, softening, and re-awakening the parts of ourselves that are ready to shine even brighter.

​

 

Our Intention:

 

Amidst the lush, nourishing landscape of Costa Rica, our mission is to create a safe and inspired space where women can re-awaken to their inner radiance and re-discover their true and perfectly imperfect essence.

​

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 TIME IS NOW. THE FUTURE NEVER COMES...

The past is only a memory and the future a concept. All that matters is the present moment.  Let's fill our time with fun, laughter and comerarderie along with tons of gratitude. We will learn together to appreciate each and every perfect, auspicious moment as it cascades by us, one by one.

​

With Great Anticipation, 

Jody & Claire
