reclaim your radiance

WOMEN’S WELLNESS RETREAT IN COSTA RICA

JANUARY 3—9, 2027

REGISTER NOW

Join us for an engaging week long escape designed to nourish your whole being.

Our time together is thoughtfully chosen during the depths of the dark season, where we will recharge our mind, body and soul in the vibrant, lush Costa Rican jungle.

Let yourself be truly immersed in nature and reclaim your natural radiance with us!

Get ready to step off the plane into paradise and feel a full body, deep sigh of release. After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, you deserve to rest. As women, we tend to take on a lot of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual labour that gives the holiday season the magic that everyone expects and desires. Most of us are incredibly burnt out come the start of January. On top of that, we are in the throws of the dark season, potentially awaiting seasonal depression to kick in, and feeling like we’ve lost our spark. That’s when you thank yourself for choosing to sign up for this retreat, because you’re about to get your spark back, and you can feel it.

You may sign up solo, but you don’t have to do this journey alone. In the Liberia airport you’ll meet up with your soon-to-be soul sisters and step outside to find the retreat shuttle waiting for you. Just a short distance away, nestled in the jungle off the beaten path, your home away from home awaits. On the ride there, you can feel just how powerful this week long adventure will be.

This retreat is a supportive space where you’re not just seen but deeply held and nurtured as you explore, evolve, and prepare to reclaim your natural radiance and glow even brighter than you could’ve ever imagined. You leave this experience more powerful, full, and lit up than ever before. This is a space where your uniqueness, wholeness, and gifts are celebrated. You emerge feeling like the most true, authentic version of yourself, full of life and stories to share.

You leave as a woman who has been deeply seen in her beauty, her stories, and wildest dreams. A woman who no longer questions wether she’s “too much”. You return home with your soul fully charged, confidence in your beauty, and the tools to continue cultivating radiance in your daily life. You’re no longer doing this work alone— you’ve found your sacred soul tribe to cheer you on as you go about your journey. This is just the beginning.

This retreat group is purposefully small to keep the container intimate.

A wooden screened structure in a lush garden surrounded by green plants, trees, and rocks.
Indoor space with wooden tables and lush green tropical plants outside the windows. Hanging planters and pendant lights decorate the area.
A terracotta-colored house amidst lush green trees, featuring a white staircase with decorative balusters and a tiled roof.
A view of a backyard swimming pool surrounded by palm trees and patio furniture, with people relaxing on the poolside.


This is NOT just another retreat where you do yoga in the morning then are left to go about your day on your own.

This experience is truly immersive— focusing on cultivating a safe space among like minded women to practice vulnerability, prioritize play, creativity and exploration together, with permission to enjoy true rest and relaxation.

You’ll leave feeling deeply shifted, embodied in your radiance, and equipped with self-care rituals to encourage continuing this beautiful journey back home.

There is lots of time for group connection and plenty of time for peace and solitude. This is YOUR retreat. You can opt out of group sessions at any time, and are encouraged to honour your body, needs and desires.

The serene atmosphere of this vibrant, boutique-style sanctuary is infused with the warm Costa Rican spirit, enveloping you in nature’s beauty. Designed to fully immerse you in the natural surroundings, the space features open-air communal areas and modest yet comfortable accommodations, all nestled within 5 acres of breathtaking tropical landscape. Guests from around the world often share that they leave feeling refreshed, with a renewed sense of clarity and purpose.

YOU WANT AN ADVENTURE. Costa Rica is truly beautiful and unlike any other place— the energy is potent, the culture is ripe and the people are incredible. We will enjoy paddle boarding in the mangroves, the most beautiful waterfall hike complete with a refreshing swim, and there are options to add-on surfing or horseback riding on the beach as well.

YOU’D LIKE TO FEEL MORE NATURALLY RADIANT. As women in this capitalist world, we are constantly made to feel less-than, that we need to consume and cover up with a plethora of products and sometimes surgeries to live up to societal standards of beauty. This is an escape from that reality— a place where you can remember your true beauty and reclaim the radiance that we all naturally have within us.

YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO NOURISH YOUR MIND, BODY AND SOUL and you want to receive inspiration and motivation to continue nourishing yourself back home.

Meet your retreat leader

Trauma Informed Somatic Skin Therapist (CAHP)

Hi, I’m Cassandra 👋 (she/her) I have a compassionate and trauma-informed practice that weaves physical, emotional and energetic healing modalities into magical bespoke treatments + experiences.

I am a highly sensitive, empathetic and feminine being that prioritizes rest and time to care for myself so I can do this beautiful work.

I am honoured to hold a safe space that acts as a respite amidst stress. The stories that have been shared with me over the years all hold a special place in my heart, and I am deeply grateful for the genuine connections and exchanges made. I have been working in the personal care industry for over 10 years and it has mostly taught me this— you never know what someone is dealing with under the surface.

My experience ditching a chemical-laden beauty routine + lifestyle rooted in ‘fight or flight’ mode in exchange for rituals of radical self-care fuels my passion and desire to share this journey with you. I empower my clients to develop a more intimate knowledge of their skin and truly love the skin they're in.

I believe we have everything we need within us, and true healing is a return back home to that wholeness. It is a passion of mine to guide others in embodying their fullest most authentic self so they can find more joy, health and connection in their life.
