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… or a quiet yes in your belly — trust that.
This path chooses those who are ready.

Space is very limited. By application only.

Guided with integrity, protection, and deep respect for lineage and the feminine body.

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.
