About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Vibrant Heârt Retreat - A Creative Arts & Embodied Expression Retreat for Women


The Vibrant Heârt Retreat is for the woman who is craving a reset — a chance to reconnect with herself, to breathe deeply and authentically, and to explore the power of her own expression. Whether you seek to reconnect to your creative flow and inner empowerment, are craving to reawaken your feminine energy, or are simply in need of a pause and deep soul nourishment, this retreat offers a sanctuary of sisterhood, healing, art-making, and self-discovery - so that you may be liberated and empowered to walk your true path in life in your fullest and most vibrant expression.

Why Creative Liberation and Expression?

As women, our creative energy is the pulse of our feminine power — it’s how we express our truth, process our emotions, and birth new realities into the world.

For generations, women have been conditioned to silence their voices, question their worth, and disconnect from their innate creative force. Reclaiming that energy isn’t just about making art — it’s about remembering who we are beneath the roles and responsibilities.

By liberating our creativity, we reconnect with our joy, our intuition, and our capacity to live fully, unapologetically, and in alignment with the heartbeat of our soul.

Imagine waking up in the lush jungle of Costa Rica, stepping onto your private balcony to journal and meditate with the enlivening sounds of nature all around you — the soft rustle of leaves, birdsong, the sun filtering through the trees. You start your day with soulful movement, breathing and stretching beside a tribe of women who uplift you and celebrate your vibrancy and authenticity.

You're immersed in self-care, nourishing your body with living foods, sharing stories and laughter with sisters, expressing yourself through creative practices and moving and breathing more expansively than you have in years. 

This is a space where you can press pause on the demands of everyday life and return to your center — where the sacredness of your feminine energy, creativity, and deepest desires is honored and held.

The Vibrant Heârt Retreat is for the woman who is craving a reset — a chance to reconnect with herself, to breathe deeply and authentically, and to explore the power of her own expression. Whether you feel disconnected from your creative flow, overwhelmed by the weight of the world, or simply in need of a pause, this retreat offers a sanctuary of sisterhood, healing, art-making, and self-discovery.

This 7-day journey is more than a retreat; it is an immersive community experience and medicine journey of awakening, healing, and nourishing our creative fire and guiding light within. 

Nestled in our lush retreat oasis in the Nosara peninsula of Costa Rica, we will co-create a vibrant and nurturing feminine space for you to blossom in your true essence, creativity, and authentic life path. 

We will weave through somatic and creative practices of inner exploration, Earth-based rituals and elemental connection, breath and embodiment, and commune in a sacred plant medicine ceremony for healing and feminine awakening. We will celebrate creative expression and self-discovery through art therapy techniques, explore shamanic energy healing, heart-opening cacao and rose ceremony, and the medicine of deep connection in a family on a soul journey together.

Our intention for this experience is to create a safe and space for personal evolution and remembrance of your true nature, to activate your creativity, and to give you tools to integrate your inner shifts into your daily life back home.

You will be supported with and through:

- Setting heart-centered intentions for this journey together
- Awakening your creativity and self-expression
- Nourishing your mind, body, heart, and soul
- Strengthening your intuition and self-love
- Clearing emotional and energetic blockages
- Expressing your unique strengths and gifts

Who is this retreat for?

Vibrant Heârt is for women ready to reclaim their creative and vibrant essence, to express themselves fully in the world and embody their unique gifts and sacred purpose in life - all within a soulful community of sisters, where nourishment is priority, healing is playful, and plenty of art is made! 

This retreat is for you if:

You are craving a pause — a reset — a deep exhale from the busyness of life.

You feel a pull toward creativity and greater self-expression but the weight of perfectionism, work, and daily responsibilities has dimmed your spark.

You long to express yourself freely and return to what truly lights you up inside.

You desire to reconnect with your feminine essence — your body, your voice, your sensuality.

You find yourself standing at a threshold — a crossroads, a new chapter, or the edge of a dream not yet born.

You feel open to exploring the healing and awakening power of creative expression.

You are yearning for soul-aligned sisterhood — a circle of women where you feels seen, safe, and celebrated.

You feel called to explore sacred plants and consciousness-expanding experiences for deeper healing and inner truth.

You may already be on a spiritual path, but are ready to go deeper — to embody it, live it, breathe it.

You are purpose-driven and know, deep down, there is something more waiting for you.
