The Wild Woman Within: A Retreat to Costa Rica
February 15th-21st
🌺 The Wild Woman Within
A Soulful Women’s Retreat in Costa Rica’s Blue Zone in The Nicoya Peninsula
It begins with a deep breath and an open heart.
You’ve landed in paradise—barefoot, sun-kissed, the waves in the distance, jungle birds calling overhead. This isn’t just time away.
It’s time home—to yourself.
🌿 A 7-Day Retreat to Reconnect with Your Wild, Wise Self
The Wild Woman Within is a women’s wellness retreat rooted in healing, community, and coming home to your body and breath.
Held in the luxurious embrace of Casa Bella Tortuga, just steps from the sea, you’ll experience the vibrant beauty of Costa Rica within a safe, soul-nourishing container.
Expect a week of movement, rest, adventure, and connection—all curated to help you soften into your truth and rise rooted.

A balance of structure and spaciousness, designed to support both transformation and rest.
Morning yoga (flow, yin, or restorative) as the jungle comes alive
Nourishing meals by our beloved retreat chef, Marcia (yes—she’s legendary)
Guided journaling, breathwork, and inner work sessions
Evening rituals and star-lit circles with women who truly see you
Optional bodywork, beach time, or pure stillness by the pool
