Welcome Beautiful,
You have been called to this retreat and are now ready to make time for YOU and the reawakening of your sacred feminine self.

She is waiting to be rediscovered and I am so honored to be your guide on this journey.

The retreat takes place under the illumination of the Libra Full Moon – a symbol of balance, harmony, justice, beauty, sacred relationships – and in alignment with the Spring Equinox, a known time of rebirth, renewal, new beginnings, fertility, and pure potentiality.

I look forward to welcoming you to the jungle!

In devotion to your remembrance,
Lacey

Is Awakening the Sacred Feminine Retreat for me?

This retreat is TRULY for ALL WOMEN. As women, no matter the phase of life we are in, we need sacred sanctuary spaces where we can make time for ourself: time to slow down, to reflect, rest, be cared for, to remember to play, laugh, cry, immerse ourself in nature… we need time to just be! 

Life is moving at such a quick pace, and it can be so challenging amidst all the roles we play – mother, wife, professional, caregiver, daughter, sister, friend, grandmother, etc – to find enough time to connect with ourself and with nature. A retreat is the perfect opportunity for this and why I truly feel every woman can benefit from this healing experience.

What we forget, is that we don’t have to do it alone – we are meant to be supported, held, witnessed and elevated by other women as we remember the truth of who we are and carve out this time to reconnect to Self, Nature and Sisterhood

Awakening The Sacred Feminine Retreat is for women who are on a journey of self discovery and spiritual remembrance. It is for women who are ready, willing and yearning to discover deeper layers and truths of who they are as a sacred woman. It is for the woman who understands the value in investing in her wellbeing and awakening. It is for the woman who is reclaiming her feminine soul self and the rise of the divine feminine on the planet.

Are you feeling the call to take your seat in a circle of up to 13 women who are ready to reawaken the sacred feminine within?

What does it mean to awaken the Sacred Feminine Within? 

You may have never considered this question, or wanted to connect with the feminine aspect fo yourself. Maybe society has taught you she is weak, that she doesn’t use her voice, that she is powerless. Most likely, society has programmed you to believe that your value is in your achievements, your striving and your “doing” and not in your intuition, presence and ‘being-ness.’

I promise you, your feminine self is ready and waiting to be discovered and expressed in your own unique way on the planet now! The worlds needs you embodied, activated and balanced in your feminine energy.

The Sacred Feminine, cannot be defined or put into a box; she is unique like each of us, and yet during the daily women’s circles and ceremonies we will reawaken SHE WHO IS…

Balanced in her feminine and masculine energies of giving and receiving
Intuitive & Instinctual
Receptive & Connected to Source
Devoted & Heart Centered
Nourished & Nurturing
Embodied & Radiant from the inside out
Connected to her unique gifts & voice and how she shares them in the world
Wise & Wild
Sensual and Sexual
Strong and Gentle
Whole & Sovereign 
In Harmony with the rhythms of Mother Nature

The Retreat Daily Flow

Each morning after greeting the sunrise, we gather in the open air yoga shala to share in a movement and meditation practice as you take in the vistas of the Pacific Ocean and the serenity of the surrounding jungle. Lacey will guide you through a variety of styles of yoga, dance, and meditation inspired by the daily theme which has been carefully curated to offer you an intentional and transformative experience.

After a deliciously fresh breakfast, we will hike to an epic nearby waterfall or gather in sisterhood circle to explore, remember and reawaken the Sacred Feminine Within. Together we will remember what it means to be embody and radiate the fullest expression of who we are. You will experience 3 different waterfalls during the retreat.

A healthy lunch is enjoyed on campus, at the waterfall or the beach. The afternoon allows space to rest, read in a hammock, enjoy the all natural pool, or treat yourself to a massage. Grounding dinners are served after witnessing the mezmerizing sunsets.

The retreat also includes three very special ceremonies.

Experience a heart opening cacao (raw chocolate) ceremony with music, song, dance, and ritual guided by Lacey. The cacao is sourced locally from the local Indigenous Bribri people and is truly a gift for your body, mind, heart, womb and spirit. The intention of this ceremony is to release, cleanse, heal, reawaken, rejoice and expand your self love.

During 1 of the 3 beach trips, you will be invited to connect with Venus – planet and Goddess of Love, Beauty and Sensuality, during a magical sunset beach Goddess ceremony followed by dinner out (extra cost) at an oceanside local restaurant.

Free your voice as we welcome special guest, Astaria, who will guide us through a 2 hour vocal activation experience where you will cultivate the courage to move beyond the edges of your comfort zone, deepen in your authenticity through vulnerability, release stagnant energy through your unique sound, discover your voice as medicine, and explore the creative potential of your soul expression. 

We will integrate the voice activation with a soothing sound bath, where you will surrender into timelessness, drift along mystical sound currents of rejuvenation, and relax into deep restorative frequencies of light. Astaria Light of Sound is a Voice Midwife, Sound Alchemist, and Creativity Catalyst. 

The retreat offers ample time and support for deep rest, relaxation and integration. One of the annual retreat highlights is the private waterfall all natural spa day with healing Costa Rican blue clay full body treatments and fresh aloe vera hair masks, and the blissful “best massage of your life” offered by Jack.

Offer yourself this peaceful time, and precious gift to step away from your day to day routine, and come home to yourSelf in the jungles of Costa Rica.
