restore & rewild

restore your mind body heart and soul with the wild

A mindful, sensory, elemental nature immersion.

Immerse yourself in the elements of the natural world for wonder, renewal, restoring, & rewilding. Find belonging inside and out. With intentions to fully reconnect to your beautiful self (think of a snake shedding its skin and RE-emerging!) there will be opportunities for relaxation, exploration, mindfulness, nature learnings, contemplation, play, creativity, belonging, solitude, and connection with all of yourself. ALL OF YOU IS WELCOME.

There are few places left on the planet to experience the luxury of being immersed in nature with less human impact. Tiskita Jungle Lodge - An 800 acre private biological reserve with both old growth forest and secondary forest - waterfall, hiking trails, swimming pool, orchards of fruits including cacao, gardens, and a very short walk to an expansive beach where you may find yourself the only person there. Punta Banco is at the southernmost point of the Pacific side of Costa Rica. A more remote area with less tourism known for its beautiful rainforests.

You will be completely immersed in nature to align senses with and all its elements - earth, air, water, fire, flora & fauna.

SACRED MOON CIRCLE

We gather in sacred ceremony with the ritual of fire and moon to release and transform. Together with the elements, waxing moon, enormous starlit sky, vast wild ocean, beach and rocks, jungle trees and creatures to witness the power of intention, spelling and vocalizing what will be.

LIVE IN RHYTHM WITH NATURE

NATURE’S RHYTHMS CO-CREATE OUR SCHEDULE. The sun rises, and we awaken along with the sounds of jungle life. You’ll make your way down a short path to the Yoga Shala to join meditation, soothing mindful movements and easeful stretching, and we circle together with intentions & elemental themes for the day. Then to breakfast, made with care and you in mind- you’ll swear breakfast never tasted so good! There will be three nourishing meals that meet your individual dietary needs along with the friendship in conversation at meal times. In between meals, you’ll get to participate in some planned group activities, as well as time for individual exploration & rest. We end our day in a final circle of sharing, story telling, and deep relaxation that softens your mind, heart and soul to drift off to bed with the ocean & jungle as a lullaby.

There will be continual moments of wonder sprinkled throughout the retreat (by nature and myself) to help guide you towards your own source of inner sanctuary & magic. A barebones schedule with the activities listed.




UNFURL & EMERGE

There will be time & space to allow the beautiful parts of yourself to release and unfurl through the experiences together as well as on your own individual time. Activities are optional although you will want to experience all the magic.

IMBOLC

This retreat takes place over IMBOLC - What is IMBOLC? The cross-quarter day between winter solstice & spring equinox. In the north, this seasonal portal reflects an ember or seed deep stirring within the earth for life, a quickening. It’s a perfect time to break from the long winter of the north - to dive deep into the south and discover whats wanting to be acknowledged in your life - whats waiting just below the surface to COME ALIVE. In Costa Rica, it’s the pinnacle of the dry season - a pause in the nourishing rains of the rainforest to ENJOY.

“If we surrendered to the earths intelligence, we would rise up rooted like trees.”

Rainer Maria Rilke
