MARIPOSA MOVEMENT
DANCE & MEDICINE RETREAT
APRIL 11-17, 2026 | COSTA RICA
A Sacred Pilgrimage with Master Plant Teachers
By application only | Intimately held | Open to all genders
Rena Branson, 2024 Retreat Participant
“This experience helped me release trauma from this lifetime and beyond in ways no other healing modality ever has — and I’ve tried many. I felt supported on every level: emotionally, physically, spiritually. The integration, the dance, the devotion to safety and integrity — it’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime container. If you feel even the tiniest spark of curiosity… follow it.”
Journey With Us
High in the lush mountains of Costa Rica is a hidden sanctuary —
a land devoted to healing, reverence and remembering.
Here, beneath star-soaked skies and crystal clear rivers,
we gather in sisterhood to dance, sing, pray & transform.
Grandmother Medicine opens the door.
Dance carries us through it.
Nature holds every breath of our becoming.
If you feel a spark in your heart… trust that.
This path chooses those who are ready.
Space is very limited. By application only.
What to Expect
Somatic Dance Rituals
Held in an open-air movement space overlooking mountains and waterfall views — a sacred floor where the Earth meets your bare feet.
3 Grandmother Medicine Ceremonies
Guided with integrity, protection, and deep respect for lineage and the feminine body.
Integration Through the Body
Movement as the bridge between realms — grounding revelation into embodiment.
Nature as Co-Facilitator
Cold river plunges, sunlit rest, birdsong meditations — everything is medicine here.
Farm-to-Table Nourishment
Vibrant meals grown on the land to support your healing.
Every detail is designed to honor your nervous system, your spirit, and your Becoming.
About the Land
This sanctuary has been lovingly stewarded for decades —a place where the mountains soften your edges and the Earth says: welcome home. Indigenous trails. Temple spaces built by hand. A crystal clear river that returns us to our true essence. Just being here is a profound transmission.
