Overview

About this retreat

Sacred Soma is a seven-day women's retreat in Costa Rica—a journey of remembrance and a return to the wisdom of the female body. Blending somatic practices, nervous system education, ancestral ritual, feminine embodiment, and time immersed in nature, we create the conditions to reconnect with your body as your inner compass. Together, we'll explore the major rites of passage that shape a woman's life through movement, ceremony, breath, sisterhood, and deep rest. This retreat is for women longing to release old expectations, reconnect with their intuition, and remember the innate wisdom carried in their bodies. Surrounded by the beauty of Costa Rica, you'll experience meaningful ritual, spacious integration, and a supportive community of women returning to themselves. Come home to your body. Come home to the land. Come home to yourself.
