The Experience:

Each day will have a guiding theme, featuring transformational experiences for mind, body and soul. In order to support the art of surrendering, we are sharing main events for each day, but also planning more incredible activities you will learn about upon arrival.
Honor Your Boundaries
To prepare to dive deep, get vulnerable, and stretch your edges, we begin by exploring boundaries to create a sanctuary of safety within and around us.

“Abi has brought to bear her organizational skills, experience as a mindfulness coach, and a desire to facilitate conditions promoting self-care for others to create an impressive program. Her thoughtfully curated activities, many conducted in partnership by her local network of mindfulness and wellness practitioners, translated to a transformational week of reflection, empowerment, growth, and yes, relaxation. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a more deliberate and focused mindfulness experience beyond a general yoga retreat.
Thank you again, Abi!”

“...this retreat was a great way to connect with enough group activities and kind people to feel included. It [was] set up in a way that fostered inclusion and real intimacy.”
~T.S.
Statement on Inclusion
This retreat is designed for those who identify as women, and/or resonate with feminine archetypes. If you identify as male, I invite you to explore my offerings geared towards men.
We welcome you in your wholeness, no matter your age, size, fitness level, or "conformity" with societal norms. We honor you regardless of your social class, ethnicity, political party, gender identity, sexual orientation, or choice to exempt yourself from any/all of these. We DO require those who attend to treat each other with kindness and respect as fellow humans, no matter what your personal views or judgments may be.
This is truly an intimate experience and there is limited space available.
If you are interested in attending, please reserve soon!
The experience will include multiple deep dives into tools and techniques for self-inquiry, growth, connection, and healing -- and the opportunity to explore what works for you. I know that you will get something out of every single workshop and class. What I hope is that one or two feel like "home" and become practices that you return to daily or in times of stress, and that you leave inspired not just to "do the work", but to Be The Work.
Because one week is not a cure. One week is only a beginning. You will leave with the resources and connections to dive deeper into practices that you choose to explore further. The work is yours to continue, with more tools in your kit, and more support at your sides and at your back.
The Retreat Family:
We are here to Serve
Who is leading this retreat?
Hi, I'm Abi! I'm a 25-year Air Force veteran who spent years figuring out how to honor my own needs so that I could serve others from a loving, whole, and authentic place.
I'm now a Trauma-Informed Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and my MAGIC (and joy) comes from holding deep, loving, and authentic space for transformation. I'm also a Reiki Master & Energy Healer and a Meditation Guide.
Since you might not want to take years to figure out what modalities help YOU to ground, center, and come back to a place of alignment... this retreat will offer an intentional, meaningful, carefully-paced opportunity to experience healing journeys, sample different modalities of movement and meditation, and develop your own rituals and practices that will support you as you reintegrate into your "real life"-- AND empower you to re-shape your life in greater harmony!
Choose Your Bodywork Bonus
Your retreat will include one session with practitioners that I know, love, trust, and have worked with personally. Based on availability and our initial consultation, you will get to work with one of the following:
Dr. Kevin is a surgeon, OG/GYN, and a holistic healer on the side. He offers lymphatic drainage massage, craniosacral therapy, energy work, and sound healing. His sessions are magical! I personally see him every 2 weeks.
Issa is a powerful energy healer who offers craniosacral, Thai massage, and optional entheogenic healing.
Tea, "the Sacred Technician," is a shamanic healer who blends energy work, sound therapy, and intuitive guidance with her training in Thai and traditional massage techniques.
Additionally, you will experience beautiful healing modalities offered by myself and dear friends including Kundalini Activation Process, Yoni Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Shamanic rituals including a Sound Healing journey and an indigenous community-led Cacao (chocolate) Ceremony.
The Venue:
Our Private Luxury Oasis
Casa Mona is nestled in pristine jungle with all the amenities you could dream of. You'll have a chance to unplug, relax and feel safe in our private retreat center made with your experience in mind. Only steps away from Playa Grande Beach and minutes from 5 different beaches, this location has it all!
The Food:
High Vibrational Cuisine
The incredible cuisine will include the freshest ingredients present in the territory in collaboration with different local farmers -- including the indigenous people of the community of Bribri, who have been cultivating healing foods in these mountains for generations with deep respect for the environment. Close your eyes and imagine the crunch of the freshest vegetables, the aroma of home-grown herbs, the sweetness of local tropical fruits, and the brightness of chili and citrus. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options will be plentiful.
The Location:
Costa Rica's Most Beautiful Beaches
Start your day with a walk to the beach to watch the sun rising over the Caribbean Sea, end it with your toes in the sand as the sun dips down over Playa Grande Beach in Punta Uva. Punta Uva is tucked away enough to bring total peace, but nestled just 10 minutes away from Puerto Viejo- for all of your tourist desires.
