RETREAT SCHEDULE

The Resonance Retreat is intentionally designed to awaken your truest frequency and reconnect you to the rhythms of nature. This retreat is one powerful, beautiful ritual from start to finish, curated with care by Aliza and the Mariposa Movement team. Each day we'll connect with a different intention, theme, element and embodiment practice The first half of our week will focus on grounding, orienting, releasing & emptying. The second half of our week will be about re-building, re-harmonizing & re-aligning with our true resonance. In addition to our workshops & sessions, there will be time each day for rest, bodywork, hot tub, pool time & integration. Resource yourself in the Costa Rican jungle with daily dance journeys, nourishing food and sisterhood, and revitalizing nature. 

Day 1 (JAN 25)
SUNDAY

ARRIVALS | OPENING CIRCLE, DANCE & DINNER

Arrive to Selva Armonia campus for a 3:00pm check in. Settle into your space, enjoy a coconut, take a dip in the river, shower, rest & unpack. Then meet Aliza & team in the Shala at 5:00 for our arrival dance + opening circle! Dinner will be served at 7:00pm.

Day 2 (JAN 26)
MONDAY

GET GROUNDED (ELEMENT: EARTH) | CACAO, DANCE & LAND OFFERINGS

Day 2 is all about orienting deeper to the facilities, the land, our group & our own bodies. Why are we here? What does it mean to come into Resonance? Today is a day for making offerings to the land, clarifying our intentions & arriving more fully in our bodies together.

Day 3 (JAN 27)
TUESDAY

WET WOMAN (ELEMENT: WATER) | WATERFALL VISIT + MORE DANCE

After a morning movement session with Aliza, we'll visit a gorgeous local waterfall to connect more deeply with the elements and the waters of these sacred lands. We'll invoke the water element to connect to support and cleanse our body and being, and make space for the emotions ready to flow through us.

Day 4 (JAN 28)
WEDNESDAY

READY TO RELEASE (ELEMENT: FIRE) | TEMAZCAL (SWEAT LODGE)

Now that we've identified our yes, it's time to get clear on our sacred no. What’s becoming non-negotiable for us in our life? What's in the way of us and living our truest truth? Today is our fire day, where we burn away all that no longer serves. On this day, we'll experience a traditional Temazcal (sweat lodge) guided by Paloma Coronado. After a nourishing, slow afternoon of rest, we'll gather for a sunset movement session, with a focus on connecting to our highest vision (aka our Butterfly Blueprint).

Day 5 (JAN 29)
THURSDAY

HARMONIZE WITH THE HIGHEST VISION (ELEMENT: AIR) 

Now that we've burned away the old & made space inside... it's time to resonate with our highest vision. Who are we ready to become? What is the highest vision for our life? Today is about integration & celebration. We'll begin the day with an integrating movement session. In the afternoon, we'll have a special event, possibly a community ecstatic dance.

Day 6 (JAN 30)
FRIDAY

PLAY DAY! VISIT TO THE WHALE'S TAIL BEACH + NATIONAL PARK

Wake up and dance, then head to the beach for some bonafide mermaid time! When we return to Selva Armonia, we'll have ample time to rest, followed by a sunset yin yoga class and sound healing. After dinner, we'll have the option of gathering around the fire for casual song singing, sharing and giggles :)
