Join us for a deeply curated 10-day women’s journey through Costa Rica’s rainforest, cloud forest, and Pacific coast. You may have been here before—but never in the way we’ve intentionally designed this experience.
Limited to just 14 women, this intimate journey blends meaningful cultural immersion with restorative time in nature and thoughtfully chosen boutique accommodations. Held within a circle of sisterhood, we create space to play, release the weight of expectations, and rediscover the presence and joy of childlike wonder.
From waterfall swims and cacao experiences to soothing hot springs and meaningful connections with local women, every detail is designed to support reflection, connection, and joyful discovery—so you return home feeling lighter, freer, and more deeply alive.
We can’t wait to share this immersive and transformative journey with you!
