This five night retreat is all about HEALING & INTUITION. The untamed majesty of Costa Rica is an incredible place to connect with nature and absorb and mingle with the life-power surging through the flora and fauna. The retreat is certainly for doulas and those caring for the dying but others may be able to join as well-- tell me your story!

 

You will be well taken care of on this retreat but will also have plenty of space to wander, swim, dream and meditate. The Costa Rican people are welcoming and kind and there is never a shortage of fresh fruit! My husband Pablo (who will be teaching with me) is a native (Chilean) Spanish speaker and will be available to translate should you need assistance.

Though tears are welcome and will certainly flow, this program is not recommended for those who are actively grieving or for one who has received a recent diagnosis that feels acutely traumatizing.
