Journey to Costa Rica

July 12-15, 2025

On the furthest tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, where the jungle mountains touch the Pacific shore, I've discovered a sanctuary dripping wild waters and abundant feminine, creative energy.  The bohemian town of Montezuma, Costa Rica. is an international community with a vibrant local culture, well-loved by travelers from all over the world. This is the perfect location to reconnect with nature and fall back in love with life...to rest, reimagine, repattern, and rejuvenate. 

RECLAIMING YOUR SACRED FEMININE POWER

The retreat experience is an outpouring of my wild heart, creative muse, and bohemian spirit ~ born from my connection to this land and 20 years of learning it’s secret ancestral language intimately.   This is a sacred place where I return over and over to restore my wild feminine spirit~my intuition, my creativity, my sensuality. 

​

 I know...

 

The secret waterfalls deep in the forest that kiss your forehead and massage your shoulders

 

The rivers that flow from the forest and dump into the ocean, where we can cover our bodies in healing clay and bast in the sunshine on beds of jasper rock.

 

The almond trees from which to hang our art as we create with our hands, barefoot and feeling the earth's vibration.

 

I know the wise women and the healers

I know the weavers of magic, the makers of medicine.

I know the plants, the animals, the sacred rhythms.

 

And I love to bring women here to know it too.

 

I’m in collaboration with some amazing women from the peninsula who share their skills & jungle wisdom.

SPECIAL RETREAT WORKSHOP OFFERINGS

(In addition to 2 Optional Yoga Classes)

​

Wild Voices: Morning Writing Sessions

Writing is medicine for the feminine spirit, connecting us to our true selves. In the Wild Voices women’s writing circle, we come together to explore our inner wisdom and honor the natural wild woman within. Each day, we celebrate our life chapters, from girlhood to womanhood, through themed writing sessions inspired by Judy Reeves’ Wild Women, Wild Voices and Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes’ Women Who Run with the Wolves. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or new to journaling, Wild Voices welcomes all women who wish to write from the heart. Join us for 5 morning sessions featuring grounding meditations, creative journaling prompts, and optional community sharing.

​​

​

EcoSomatic Remembering: Breathing with the Earth

Living an embodied, connected life requires us to be grounded in the present moment and in deep communication with our environment. Meditation in nature opens our hearts and expands our awareness, reminding each of us that we are inherently woven, like a sacred thread, into a web of rhythms and relationships with the natural world. Time and space for deep listening allows us to feel into our reciprocal relationship with the more than human world and begin to sense the gifts tucked sweetly into our lives, everyday.

​​

​

This workshop and ecosomatic breathwork journey takes us beyond the self, into an exploration of embodied belonging and interconnectedness with the living world.  It’s an opportunity to engage with our inner landscape, via the healing power of the breath, to experience our bodies as extensions of the Earth. We’ll begin with a casual lecture, talking about science, energetic systems, and the power of self-inquiry. The second part of our workshop will be an experiential  deep dive, a FULL breathwork session, that begins with gentle movement and propping for spaciousness in the body. We’ll then practice a restorative style of breathwork— conscious connected, diaphragmatic breathing—to attune to the wisdom of the Earth/Body continuum.

​

​

Tapping Into the Creative Wellspring

In the heart of every woman, is a desire to connect with her inner creative landscape. Creativity flows from the feminine and, while we all embody our masculine/feminine energy field differently, establishing balance is essential to our well-being. While we all have moments of deep and beautiful inspiration, it can be a challenge to maintain it in the midst of everyday life. This workshop is a creative kickstart, a holistic reset, and a mindset shift for women, as we discuss the possibility of “living artfully”, as a way of being, and tapping into a never-ending wellspring by doing less, not more. Hint: Learning how to fully embody the feminine energy body and nurturing its attributes of receptivity, rest, and replenishment is the key. We’ll sit in a circle to discuss energy dynamics over warm hibiscus tea, then attune our energy bodies with Angela’s daily meditation for Creating a Resonant Energy Field.  We’ll look at our individual daily habits (and time drains) and map a new framework for our individual daily rhythms~getting crystal clear about how to carve out time each day to tap into our unique creative channels.
**Bring your journal.

Experiencing the Animal Body: Landing, Location, & Coherency for Women

Embodiment is a somatic practice that invites individuals to perceive the body from within and ask “What is it that I’m feeling?” It’s a field that brings one into a profound relationship with the mystery and intelligence of our innermost being. When we’re out of rapport with the wisdom of our body, relying solely on the rational mind to problem-solve and guide us through our everyday lives, we are  less-resourced and disconnected from this source of deep inner knowing.  In this workshop, we’ll explore our over-reliance on the rational mind and the feelings of separateness that occur when the heart, gut, and brain are out of communication. We’ll venture into the sacred vessels of our feminine bodies, with a renewed vision and powerful tools to restore the flow of our energy in a holistic way.  Through a primal, yoga-inspired, movement and breath practice, we’ll create the conditions for flow, presence, and coherence from within our being—grounding into a way of being where we’re more capable of catalyzing a deep and lasting impact in the living systems around us.
