Experience the tropical sights and sounds of the Nicoya Peninsula in the company of 18 exceptional women and discover the secrets to greater balance and well-being in your life.

This journey is for any woman who wants to relax, refresh and discover tools and inspiration to reenergize her body and reinvigorate her soul.

We will stay at The Retreat, Costa Rica, an award-winning wellness resort and spa perched on a 50-acre quartz mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean. A tropical resort with stunning views of the Nicoya Peninsula and the ocean beyond, The Retreat will allow you to escape the chaos and stress of everyday life and reset your internal sense of balance in a nurturing and gentle environment.

Activities will include daily meditation, movement and interactive workshop sessions, many of which will be focused on traditional Eastern medicine teachings integrated with modern medicine. Guests will also enjoy delicious farm to table meals and a variety of fun activities such as a cooking class, a sound healing, a full array of spa treatments and a special excursion to experience the natural surroundings of Costa Rica.

The Retreat features 25 unique, elegant rooms, the award-winning Vida Mia Healing Center and Spa, several farm to table organic restaurants, an organic coffee plantation, two saltwater pools, a yoga studio, meditation deck, organic gardens, river swings, jungle and river paths, and a sweeping view of the Gulf of Nicoya. The Retreat also offers the newly unveiled Santosha Wellness Club, a social wellness hub featuring a state-of-the-art gym, yoga shala, and a third pool beneath a sacred Guanacaste tree. The Retreat is located just 30 minutes from San Jose International Airport, outside the town of Atenas, Alajuela, a central valley region considered “one of the best climates in the world” by the National Geographic Society.
