EMBODIED WOMAN A Somatic Healing Retreat in Nosara, Costa Rica November 21–28, 2026 Imagine Feeling Like Yourself Again When was the last time you truly slowed down? Not just a weekend away. Not a vacation packed with activities. But real, intentional space to breathe deeply, rest fully, and reconnect with the woman beneath the endless to-do lists, responsibilities, and expectations. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you've been pouring from an empty cup, you're not alone. So many women spend their days caring for everyone else while quietly placing themselves at the bottom of the list. Embodied Woman was created as an invitation to pause. To soften. To breathe. To remember what it feels like to come home to yourself. For seven nourishing nights in the breathtaking beauty of Nosara, Costa Rica, you'll step away from the noise of everyday life and into a supportive community of women where healing and connection are cultivated through movement, breath, nature, reflection, and deep rest. This isn't about escaping your life. It's about returning to it feeling grounded, renewed, and more connected to yourself. A Different Kind of Retreat This isn't about perfect poses or checking another destination off your bucket list. It's about creating the space to slow down and reconnect with yourself in a way that's often impossible in everyday life. Throughout the week, you'll be gently guided through a thoughtfully curated experience weaving together Hatha Yoga, Somatic Yoga, Yin Yoga, breathwork, meditation, sound healing, cacao, journaling, nature, and meaningful connection. You'll have space to move, rest, explore, reflect, laugh, breathe, and simply be. And rather than returning home with only beautiful memories, you'll leave with embodied practices and practical tools you can carry into your everyday life. Because true transformation isn't about escaping your life. It's about learning how to come home to yourself—again and again. This Retreat Is For You If... ♡ You spend so much time caring for everyone else that your own needs come last. ♡ You're craving genuine rest—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. ♡ You feel like you're constantly “on” and long to slow down and create space to breathe. ♡ You miss feeling deeply connected to your body, intuition, joy, or sense of self. ♡ You're moving through a season of change, healing, or personal growth and want space to reflect and reset. ♡ You long for meaningful connection with women who understand, support, and inspire you. ♡ You're ready for more than a vacation. You're ready to choose yourself. What You'll Experience Every day is intentionally designed to create a beautiful balance of movement, restoration, connection, nature, and spaciousness. Begin your mornings with nourishing yoga and breathwork as the jungle awakens around you. Spend your afternoons exploring Nosara, relaxing by the pool, walking the beach, or simply enjoying the luxury of unhurried time. As the sun begins to set, gather in community for meaningful conversations, meditation, sound healing, reflection, and practices that invite you to slow down and fully receive the experience. COME AS YOU ARE. LEAVE MORE YOU. You don't need to become someone new. You get to remember who you are. Embodied Woman | November 21–28, 2026 | Nosara, Costa Rica
