Details

Called to Heal: Awakening Your Spiritual Gifts is a 7-day intimate retreat designed for those who are ready to move beyond spiritual awareness and into active, embodied practice of their gifts. This retreat is built around one intention: a deep dive into yourself — who you are, what you carry, and how to bring your intuition, clairvoyance, energy healing, and mediumship fully into your everyday life. We go inward together, and we practice bringing what we find back out into the world, held by a small, trusted circle the entire way. Every experience is hand-picked to serve that depth. The container is deliberately small — 4 to 8 participants with at least 1 facilitator per 4 participants — because the kind of transformation we're creating here requires intimacy, trust, and space to be fully seen. Set in the lush rainforest of Diamante Valley, Costa Rica, this retreat is held in partnership with local indigenous shamans, healers, and artisans — honoring the sacred land and the living traditions that have carried healing wisdom for generations. The land itself is part of the medicine. Facilitated by Dr. Kay Hubbard, a Naturopathic Doctor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor whose global practice centers those who are intuitive and spiritually gifted, this retreat blends clinical care, cultural reverence, and sacred community into one cohesive experience. You will leave with your drum, your practice, your people — and a clearer sense of what you were always called to do and the ability to do it.

Each participant has their own private studio villa — a beautifully designed personal sanctuary nestled in the jungle, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass doors with views of the Diamante Waterfalls. Your space is yours alone. A place to rest, integrate, journal, and simply be between our shared experiences. The architecture of Vajra Jahra seamlessly integrates with the jungle, so guests experience the best of both worlds — the stunning natural surroundings alongside comfortable, modern amenities. Wildlife is part of daily life here — tropical birds, monkeys, and the constant sound of the river moving through the property. Shared spaces include an infinity pool, open-air yoga shala, on-site hiking trails, private river access, sunset viewing deck, and a fire pit — all available to you throughout the week. All meals are chef-prepared using fresh, farm-to-table ingredients with menus accommodating group preferences and dietary needs. This is not just a place to sleep. It is a living, breathing part of your healing.

The kitchen accommodates dietary preferences and restrictions — simply let us know yours and we'll make sure you're taken care of, both on and off the property. Throughout the week, the group will share 3 to 5 meals off-site as part of our excursions and cultural experiences — from beachside dining to local spots woven into the rhythm of the retreat. The meals are part of how we connect with the land and one another. All food needs and restrictions are personally accommodated by Dr. Kay throughout the entire retreat, whether we're at the venue or out in the community.
