About this Retreat
Your Guides
My wanderlust led me to explore the world from an early age. Growing up in the Midwest with mixed Puerto Rican and American heritage, I was naturally drawn to discovering different cultures and ways of life. A pivotal moment came at age 10 when I lost vision in one eye - this challenge sparked an even deeper desire to travel and experience the world through all my senses.
At 25, I took a life-changing solo trip to Bali that opened the door to endless possibilities. This journey ignited my passion for combining travel with wellness and healing practices. Since then, I've explored diverse cultures and traditional practices across NYC, Singapore, Japan, The Philippines, Guatemala, and finally Mexico—where I've made my home. Along the way, I became certified in Ayurveda & Women's Health, weaving together my love for travel, healing, and cultural wisdom.
My passion for transformative travel experiences inspired me to host retreats and connect with fellow seekers from around the globe.
Through my YouTube channel, Olivia Anelise, I share authentic travel adventures and wellness discoveries with my growing community. My mission is to create immersive experiences where people can explore new cultures while reconnecting with themselves and nature, discovering the healing wisdom that each destination holds.
Details of this retreat
Into the Wild Bloom is an invitation — a return to the earth, to your senses, and to your most natural self.
In the lush heart of Costa Rica’s jungle, we’ll gather as women to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the rhythm of nature that lives within us. Surrounded by towering palms, tropical birds, and the hum of the forest, we’ll move gently through our days with a blend of yoga, ritual, juicing, and creative exploration.
Through movement, meditation, and breathwork, you’ll ground into your body. Juicing and nourishment workshopswill awaken your vitality with vibrant cold-pressed blends, herbs, and tropical fruits — daily reminders of the earth’s abundance.
We’ll spend time outdoors — swimming beneath waterfalls, walking barefoot in the soil, painting with natural pigments, and sharing laughter under the canopy.
This retreat is not about striving or doing. It’s about listening — to your body, your breath, and the living world around you. Together, we’ll explore what it means to live in harmony with nature, to honor your cycles, and to create from a place of softness and connection.

Nestled in the hills above Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast, Selvática is a sanctuary for renewal. Hand-built with intention by founders Sander and Cristina, this eco retreat honors simplicity, mindfulness, and connection to the earth.
With two open-air yoga shalas — the Sky Shala overlooking the ocean and the Jungle Shala nestled beneath the trees — every practice feels like an offering to the land. The sounds of birds and the hum of the forest become part of each meditation and ritual.
