Rediscover YOU
Imagine Yourself in Costa Rica...
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.
