Embodied Expression: A Nosara Retreat


  • Guide to Be, LLC Nicoya, Guanacaste Province Costa Rica (map)

I invite you to join me in Nosara, Costa Rica — a place that feels like a second home to me: one of the Blue Zones of the world, filled with the lush greens of the jungle, glowing with magic in it’s raw nature, home to some of the best surf waters, and sunsets that embed in your mind for a lifetime.

Nosara holds a special place in my heart and I am excited to invite you to journey with me for 7 days and 7 nights this June. Staying at an incredible villa with 3 additional casitas, this will be a retreat filled with not only sunshine and nourishing rain showers, but also wellness experiences that return you back to what it means to be.

To be in your body.

To be with your breath.

To be alongside other beautiful souls.

This retreat is an invitation into deeper embodiment.

So many of us have learned to live from the neck up—thinking, planning, performing—while the wisdom of the body waits patiently beneath the surface. Over the course of our seven days together, we will gently return to the body as a place of truth, creativity, and expression.

We will engage in daily meals together, daily meditation, daily yoga, sound healing, breathwork and more. Through practices such as meditation, breathwork, yoga, sound healing, and guided workshops, we will explore themes of inner child healing, nervous system regulation, attachment patterns, and the dance between feminine and masculine energies within us all. This is not about fixing yourself. It is about remembering the parts of you that have always been whole — in a place where you are invited to come ALIVE, fully. In this way, you get to come back “home” to yourself, and go back “home” to a physical place as a remembered, embodied expression of you.

Explore the Retreat Schedule:

  • Arrive to The Line Up by 3:30pm or later. If flying in on Saturday 6/13, you will take a shuttle from LIR (Liberia Airport) directly to the venue. I will help by sending you recommended shared or private shuttle services. If flying in a few days early, I can give recommended areas, airbnbs, or hotels to check out!

    To give people time to arrive, at 6pm, we will join as a group after settling into our rooms and exploring the property.

    At 6:30pm, we will eat a nourishing meal together followed by a group opening circle and sound bath before a good night of rest for those that traveled in on this day!
