Imagine Yourself

Sipping oolong tea beside the pool as the setting sun slowly sinks behind gently swaying palms, a gentle breeze delights your senses with the aquatic notes of Costa Rican toasted coconut and cedarwood as a Toucan flies by to say hello…

…it’s the end of an incredible day for and about YOU spent experiencing the exotic pulse, uplifting feminine energy, the sweet perfumes of orchids, and magnificent chaos of the sounds of the jungle.

You laugh with new friends, sharing the experience of an Ayurvedic Treatment, Sound Healing or Aquatic Massage.  You are connecting and having deeper conversations than you have had in years with your new Tribe, who already feel like soul sisters.

Encircled by mountains, pristine gardens, panoramic views and distant volcanos. you can hardly believe that, at last, you’re here… nourishing your mind, body and spirit.

Now I know you’ve heard that you can't pour

from an empty cup…


…so imagine the effect of 8 extraordinary days and 7 nights in the exclusive company of like-minded women, your new Tribe of friendships emerging. Guided by feminine thought leaders sharing not only their collective wisdom and best Whole YOU insights, but also with the specific intention of helping you ignite your passions, create your vision, and fulfill your greatest potential.

The rise of feminine energy is upon us. She has been suppressed for thousands of years and the shift is now happening, can you feel it?

Feminine energy is one of the most powerful forces on earth. True feminine power is leading from the heart in all areas of our lives and allowing our intuition to guide us, no matter what the voice of fear says. When a woman is connected to her feminine power, anything is possible.

Because together, we are SO much more than the sum of our parts.

And we all know the world needs connection and positive input more than ever before, it’s obvious there’s no time to lose.

That’s why NOW is the time to become Whole YOU ~ uplift, uplevel and unleash your unique purpose and intention into the world! 

And becoming Whole YOU will radically accelerate your joy, help you connect to your purpose to make the difference you are on this earth to make.

Costa Rica is a global go-to spot for nature lovers and adventure seekers. It’s jungles teem with hundreds of wildlife species that exist nowhere else on the planet. San José, located in the Central Valley, is Costa Rica’s bustling urban capital. We invite you to breathe in ‘pure life’ during your stay with us and enjoy your journey of inner exploration and outward adventure.
