Announcing Return to Her, a Women's Retreat at the Edge of a New Beginning
A Women’s Retreat at the Edge
of a New Beginning
MARCH 3-10, 2027
SANTA TERESA, COSTA RICA
a rare threshold between endings and new beginnings
Join us where the jungle meets the ocean for a Women's Sacred Feminine Retreat in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, held during the New Moon in Pisces just before the Spring Equinox.
At this turning point in the year, we gather in intentional sisterhood to pause, reflect and return to ourselves.
This spiritual retreat for women is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your inner voice, and enter a shared space of ceremony, ritual, movement, play, rest, and reflection.
Together, in an intimate circle of 10 women, we will honor what is ending and welcome what is ready to begin.
Why This Sacred Feminine New Moon Retreat Is Special
This retreat is intentionally timed with the final new moon of the astrological year — the closing lunar doorway before the energy of spring begins again.
Across many traditions, this phase of the moon is associated with completion, integration, and renewal. It offers a natural moment to pause, listen inward, and prepare for the season ahead.
During our New Moon Beach Ceremony, we will gather in ritual at the edge of the ocean to consciously close one chapter and welcome the next with clarity and intention.
This particular threshold comes only once each year, making it a powerful time to step back from daily life and realign with what is ready to emerge.
It lives in our sensuality and creativity.
In play and curiosity.
In our connection with the natural world.
In learning to receive rather than always give.
In honoring the full range of our emotional experience.
In regulating the nervous system and moving through life with greater presence.
And in the healing that becomes possible when women gather in sisterhood.
Over these 8 days, in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica you will reconnect with the parts of yourself you’ve been longing to feel—softness, power, truth, and aliveness.
What is the Sacred Feminine?
The Sacred Feminine is an energy that lives within each of us. It is not something we have to become — it is something we remember.
It is a return to who we were before the world taught us to perform, to override our inner knowing, or to disconnect from the wisdom of the body. It is a return to self.
The Sacred Feminine invites us back into embodiment — into listening to the body, trusting intuition, softening where we have learned to brace, and allowing our voice to be expressed fully and honestly.

Who This Retreat Is For…
Return to Her is intentionally limited to a small circle of 10 women to support depth, safety, and meaningful connection throughout the retreat experience.
This retreat is for the woman who feels a quiet pull for something more…
• You’re moving through a transition—or feel one beginning beneath the surface
• You feel disconnected from your body and want to find your way back
• You're craving space to slow down, breathe, and actually feel yourself again
• You feel a longing for deeper, more meaningful connection—with yourself & other women
• You’re curious about ritual, ceremony, and a more intuitive way of living
•You are ready to release what no longer fits and step into a more honest, aligned version of yourself
You are welcome exactly as you are.
This Retreat May Not Be Aligned
For You If you are…
• Currently in acute crisis or seeking clinical mental health treatment
• Looking for one-on-one trauma healing or intensive therapeutic support
• Expecting a silent retreat or highly structured personal-development program
• Hoping for a luxury vacation-style experience without group participation
• Seeking a retreat focused primarily on fitness or advanced yoga training
Participants are responsible for their own emotional and physical well being during the retreat. No prior retreat or ceremony experience is required.
The Power of Sisterhood
Something shifts when women gather in intentional space.
Without pressure to perform.
Without needing to have the answers.
Without needing to hold everything together.
This retreat offers a sacred space to:
be seen
be supported
be reflective
be expressive
be quiet
be yourself
Our hope is that you leave feeling deeply nourished—more connected to yourself, more rooted in your truth, and held by relationships that continue far beyond the retreat.

a closing invitation
If something in you feels a quiet pull as you read this… that’s worth listening to.
Return to Her is an opportunity to pause, reconnect with yourself, and remember what it feels like to be fully alive.
Through embodiment, sisterhood, nature and sacred feminine practices, you'll be supported in returning to your intuition, your joy, your authentic expression, and the parts of yourself that have been forgotten along the way.
You don’t need to be ready.
You only need to be willing to say yes to yourself.
Because this journey isn't about becoming someone new- it's about remembering who you've been all along.
