Day 1 · April 19, 2025
Welcome Women
Welcome to the lush embrace of Costa Rica, where the air is alive with the promise of rejuvenation and connection. Together, we will embark on a journey to rediscover the pleasures in our lives. We take our first steps on this journey as we step off the plane and onto the vibrant island. A group transfer will take us from the airport to our tranquil accommodation, where the verdant surroundings allow us a sanctuary to conjure the same peace and quiet within our hearts and souls. Settle in and embrace the unfolding of this sacred space with a heartfelt welcome social, a moment to honor our intentions and the collective energy that binds us with discussion and refreshments.
As the day gently transitions into the evening, we come together for a grounding flow session, allowing the rhythm of our breaths to sync with the rhythm of nature, anchoring us to the present moment. As the sun dips below the horizon, we share delightful conversations over a delicious dinner, sowing the seeds for genuine connections with our fellow travelers and setting the stage for the transformative days ahead.
Day 2 · April 20, 2025
Sensory Awakening
Today, we embark on a journey of sensory awakening, immersing ourselves in the boundless energy that flows through the universe. To start the day, we surrender to the gentle rhythm of our breath in a morning breathwork session, aligning our inner cadence with the natural pulse of nature. Afterward, enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast which will provide fuel for both the body and soul. We'll spend the rest of the morning on a chocolate tour to deepen our appreciation for the abundance of nature's gifts.
After lunch, we continue our soul work with free time and a yoga session. Through mindful movement and breath, we release tension and restore balance, aligning our physical being with the profound wisdom of our spiritual essence. At night, we enjoy heartfelt conversations over dinner before ending the day with a sacred cacao ceremony. This special experience will help us open our mind and hearts to love, healing, and growth.
Day 3 · April 21, 2025
Nature's Embrace
As dawn breaks, we rise with eager anticipation for another day of embracing the wonders of nature's embrace. Fueling our bodies with an early breakfast, we prepare for a journey into the heart of the rainforest, where ancient trees whisper secrets of resilience and renewal. Mounted upon gentle steeds, we traverse the wondrous landscape allowing the rhythmic hoof beats to guide us to a hidden sanctuary — a majestic waterfall cascading with might. Upon return to the sanctuary of our resort, we are blessed with sacred time to indulge in self-care, whether it be through a soothing massage, a refreshing swim, or a blissful nap beneath the caress of the tropical breeze.
As the sun begins its slow descent, we surrender any negativity to the healing embrace of restorative yoga and yoga nidra. Then, under the starry night sky and with each other's company, we enjoy a savory dinner to cap our day of adventure.
Day 4 · April 22, 2025
Nourishing Body & Mind
A healthy body often requires a healthy mind. At the midpoint of our journey together, we are going to work on nurturing both of them to allow the pleasures of life to flow through us. As the sun rises, we nimble our body and mind with a morning yoga session. Afterward, a toasty breakfast will get us ready for the day ahead. Before we indulge in lunch, an educational workshop will allow us to share in the wisdom of how we can embrace facets of our lives and become empowered. In the afternoon, you'll have the option to attend an herbal medicine workshop or embrace moments of restoration with free time at our sanctuary. As the genial rays of the evening sun embrace us, we gather for a group discussion and sharing circle to open our hearts to one another. Then, our reflection leads us inwards during journal time, penning down thoughts that outline the state of our spiritual self as well as the path forward. After spending much time in reflection, we quiet our minds with a guided meditation session before ending the day with dinner.
Day 5 · April 23, 2025
Play & Pleasure
The penultimate day of our time together is upon us. Today, we will put it all together and delight in the progress we've made as a collective. As the sun graces us with its gentle light, we come together for a morning yoga session infused with serene meditation. After aligning our body and mind, we gather for breakfast, each bite bringing joy and comfort. The rest of the morning stretches like an open expanse of possibilities. Spend the free time catching up with your newfound friends, reading a book, or relaxing in your room. As the sun reaches its zenith, we meet for lunch where an immense sense of community fills the air, a testament to the bonds we have created from the days past. To commemorate our newly forged friendships and the journey we've taken together, day five culminates in a heartfelt closing ceremony. Over a celebratory dinner filled with music, laughter, and dance, we bid farewell to the sacred space that has served as our sanctuary for reflection and growth. As the celebration grows louder, so too will the bonds of our friendship.
Day 6 · April 24, 2025
Reflect & Reconnect
After six days together immersed in the sanctuary of serenity, our journey draws to a close with a nourishing breakfast, symbolizing the abundance of gratitude that fills our hearts for the transformative experiences shared. With spirits lifted and souls enriched, we bid farewell to our safe space, cherishing the connections forged and the wisdom gained along our path. As we embark on our individual journeys, may the light of our shared experiences continue to guide us toward a life filled with balance, vitality, and radiant joy.
