Kathi weaves mindset and manifestation coaching with the grounding practices of yoga and meditation, helping women reconnect to their purpose and power. Michelle’s compassionate presence, rooted in ancient wisdom and energy healing traditions, creates space for deep restoration and transformation. Together, they curate an experience where healing, laughter, and connection flow effortlessly.
Throughout the week, you’ll move through soulful yoga practices, guided meditations, and powerful workshops like Shakti Power: Find Your Inner Goddess, where you’ll learn to connect with your inner divine feminine energy. You’ll also experience Reiki healing sessions, sacred cacao and sound ceremonies, and mindful adventures in nature, each designed to bring balance to your body, clarity to your mind, and peace to your heart.
Set on Costa Rica’s breathtaking Pacific coast, your days will be filled with wonder: relaxing on the beach, swimming beneath jungle waterfalls, snorkeling among tropical fish, and exploring the lush rainforest of Manuel Antonio National Park, home to playful monkeys and gentle sloths. Evenings invite reflection, connection, and a deep sense of belonging.
This retreat is for every woman. Whether you’re seeking movement or stillness, solitude or sisterhood, renewal or rediscovery. No previous yoga experience is needed. All you need is an open heart and a willingness to embrace your own Pura Vida—your pure, authentic joy of living.
