~ EMBRACE THE SACRED FEMININE WITHIN ~
​
SING WITH YOUR WOMB + DANCE WITH THE RIVER

Anna Claire and Sondra are herbalists and earth stewards on a mission to connect with other conscious individuals to co-create opportunities for learning the wisdom of the plants, deepening our individual and collective connections to the elements within, and joining together in ritual and ceremony to know and express our truest selves. Our spiritual + herbal retreats are designed to help connect you with your inner and outer landscapes, to strengthen your connection with the elements and to open our eyes to the aspects and practices of right relationship with Pachamama (Mother Earth) and sacred reciprocity.

Awaken each morning to the mystical mountains of Cerro Chirripó in Costa Rica. Chirripó means the "land of eternal waters" a healing sanctuary that is nestled in the mountains on a sacred river called Rio Chirripó. The sounds of howler monkeys and tropical birdsongs; begin your day with healing movement, meditation and a nourishing river dip. Spend your days learning about medicinal and spiritual uses of plants, ceremonies and the overflowing wisdom of Mother Nature. Find a place of solace + relaxation while sharing heart songs by the sacred fire. Come together with other women in community, ceremony, and ritual.
​

River Rising: Awakening the Feminine offers you all of this, and so much more...

We invite you to take this time for yourself, an opportunity to be cleansed by the medicinal waters of Río Chirripó where you can rest, recharge, nourish and heal. Immerse yourself in the lush jungles + healing waters of Costa Rica’s mountains. Feel the support of your ancestors and the divine intelligence that is our Mother Earth. Spend your free time in the river, soaking in the wood burning hot tub, meditating in the fairy forest, meeting whales along the Pacific coastline, reveling in the flow of the misty mountains of Chirripó and connecting with the nature spirits that surround you. La Pura Vida awaits to hold your feminine rivers!

RETREAT HIGHLIGHTS:

Costa Rica offers some of the most lush + beautiful healing spaces around! Our all-inclusive retreat will have a primary focus on plants as medicine, womb wisdom + women’s wellness, listening to the stone + plant spirits and deep healing of the heart + soul. We will be working closely with the element of water, balancing its fluid nature with the transformative flames of the sacred fire. We will spend 8 nights learning together in the liminal spaces where the mountains meet the jungle.
