When is the last time you took a day for yourself to RECEIVE? to be NOURISHED? to REFLECT? RELAX? PLAY?
When is the last time you took a WEEK for yourself? Have you ever done this?
Have you ever truly allowed yourself to CHOOSE YOURSELF first?
Have you ever given yourself permission to REST even when there are a million things to do?
It can be SO EASY, especially for women and mothers, to put others needs before our own.
You are worthy of self care and self love, and you deserve it!!!
You are WORTHY of investing in yourself… in your health your happiness your self discovery your joy your pleasure your passion your need for deep rest your need to commune with nature and sisterhood.
A retreat is an opportunity for you to claim space for yourself, to press pause and step away from your day to day routine of life, family, work, errands, appointments, shopping, cooking, cleaning (…the list goes on) and focus on YOU.
We know life doesn’t stop. There will never be the perfect moment to take time for yourself.
What you do have is the CHOICE to choose this for YOU from a place of deep self love. It may even feel uncomfortable to choose yourself, but you’re the only one who can.
When we take time for ourselves, there is an automatic ripple effect that moves into our family and home, and everyone becomes refreshed!
I invite you to boldly, courageously, compassionately CHOOSE YOU!
If you feel the call in your heart, it’s the right time for you.
Welcoming you to join us in the jungle for my 6th annual 8 day women’s retreat in Costa Rica at the Farm of Life.
“A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms.”– Zen Shin
🌺 How beautiful are these flower images taken at @farm_of_lifein Costa Rica!?! 🌸 One of the main reasons I’ve continued to host retreats here since 2016 is because of the absolute and exquisite natural beauty of this place. This land used to be cow pasture when purchased, and it’s now transformed into a sanctuary and true garden of Eden! 🌹 I cannot put it into words, but just by stepping foot on this land and being in awe of all nature’s beauty, you CHANGE AND TRANSFORM. 🪷 It sounds too easy I know, but simply witnessing beauty with presence shifts something within our inner tapestry. 🌼 When you combine the beauty and stillness of the land + being surrounded by incredible women in scared sisterhood, the transformation deepens! 🌻 Like the flower, you will not compete with other women in your blossoming. We will not compare ourself to another’s journey. We will not gossip, or judge or uphold jealousy or insecurity. 🌷 During the upcoming WOMEN’S WISDOM RETREATS, we will REMEMBER together how to honour each woman, including ourselves, in her beauty and perfection.Â
We will ELEVATE CELEBRATE HONOUR LISTEN SUPPORT RESPECT HEAL DANCE CRY PRAY SEE EACH OTHER AS GODDESS 🥀 For too long, we have been stuck in a cycle of competition and comparison with other women, even our own friends! 👯‍♀️ Most women I work with have never experienced being with other women in this way, and once you experience the beauty of it, there is no going back! It actually becomes impossible to sit in a conversation with gossip and drama! 🌟 If you’re feeling ready to shift your relationship with nature, yourself, your partner and the women in your life…
I INVITE YOU TO JOURNEY TO COSTA RICA FOR ONE OF MY UPCOMING 8 DAY RETREATS! 🌴 January 25th-February 1st (registration closes the 18th) or March 4th-11 2023 Awakening Inner Wisdom retreat with ayahuasca ceremony. ✨ Learn More Here ✨ Are you ready to bloom? 🌹
I am so glad you found your way here, and I know it is no coincidence. It is in fact a most perfect alignment and a reflection of your commitment. Your unique presence and gifts are an intricate part of our circle. Thank you for being here.
I am so excited to share with you that there are two opportunities in 2023 to choose from to join me in Costa Rica for my 6th and 7th annual women’s retreat at Farm of Life.
It is an absolute honor to be sharing these retreats with you, year after year. The vision for this year’s retreats is VERY special to me and it exists because you are ready; we are ready.
We are in times of great transformation and the spirit of the land at Farm of Life is calling us forth, along with our soul’s own readiness and commitment, to REMEMBER together.
It is time.
In overflowing gratitude, Lacey

When we gather in sisterhood, we remember together with each woman as a sacred reflection and witness. Our ancient soul and feminine self is calling us home to nature; calling us home to sisterhood. The time is now to connect more deeply with the earth, the elements, and her plants as they carry the wisdom needed to move forward in these times.
We are remembering that we can heal ourselves with the feminine wisdom and traditions that live within us and are ready to be reawakened.
We are remembering the simple beauty and power of singing songs around the campfire, being awed by the stars, feeling the healing force of the shining sun, bathing in her cleansing crystalline waters and breathing in her fresh air.
Our ancestors are knocking on the doors of our hearts, and we are answering the call. Our life truly is the answered prayers of our great great grandmothers. We are here to carry forth the healing in our lineage, as we heal ourself.

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 and remember the ancestral ways of our feminine wisdom.Together we will remember what it means to be a woman of the earth who is deeply rooted in her center and deeply connected to nature.

The retreat also includes three very special ceremonies and a variety of ancestral arts workshops.
Experience a heart opening cacao (raw chocolate) ceremony with music, song, dance, and ritual guided by Lacey.

The intention of this ceremony is to release, cleanse, heal, reawaken, rejoice and expand your self love.
The second ceremony, will be a sunset beach ceremony.
We will connect with the great mother ocean and share in a special womb healing journey that has been passed down to me by my teacher Monika Nataraj, and her teacher, Marcela Lobos. This ceremony, originating from the Shamans from the Peruvian Andes and Amazon Jungle, is an initiation given by lineage of women who freed themselves from suffering and they want us to remember that we did not come to suffer, but to be powerful creatresses.
The third ceremony will be a powerful group breath work and crystal bowl sound journey where you will be held in safe space to relax, release, purify, tune into your higher wisdom and receive insights and guidance, all through the power of breath and sound. Connect to body, mind, heart and spirit.

I invite you to acknowledge and reclaim yourÂ
Worth Power Wisdom Voice Sexuality Sovereignty Sacredness Peace Freedom … your Self!

Honour yourSelf with this gift of Self Discovery, Self Care and Self Love.
Know, in the depth of your Being, that when you put YOU first, you inspire all women around you (and actually give them permission) to do the same. Together, we can remember our True Essence. This retreat is being curated with love for 16 women.

Who is the Liberated Woman?Â
She is FREE of ALL conditionings and constructs. She lives from intuition and instinct.
She is FREE of masks and societal pressures. She lives as her authentic self with integrity.
She is FREE of guilt and shame. She honours her body as a temple and her sexuality as sacred.
She is FREE of fear. She trusts life fully. She speaks with courage. She flows with ALL THAT IS.
She is FREE of thinking she should look and act a certain way. She is wild, natural and in touch with her natural rhythm and cycles.
She is FREE of judgement. She is compassionate. She loves unconditionally. She lifts other women up.
She is FREE from the limitations of her mind. She witnesses all of creation as a reflection of herself.
She knows who she is. She knows she was never bound.
She is Life itself.
She is Love.
Can you feel her? Is she alive within you? Do you want to connect with her more deeply and reawaken her into Being?

It was a mini adventure getting there, but the class was definitely worth it! (I think all adventures feel that way). I left my hostel and began walking -uphill, and in the wrong direction – for about 10 minutes, away from the beach. (Yes I know, not smart thinking for a class advertised as “beachfront yoga.”)
Once I got to the top of about 3 steep hills and realized this, I turned around and got going in the right direction. I passed through Montezuma, and found myself on a narrow dirt road, toward playa grande, which quickly turned into a path that came out onto the white sandy beach.
So here I am, standing on the most beautiful beach I’ve seen, and at the same time pretty much running to yoga- again not the most ideal situation. I continue walking along the beach thinking maybe I’d see some yogis in downward dog, but not to my luck. At this point I figured I was lost, late and was ok with spending my morning walking oceanside.
It was at that moment that I came across the hotel (apparently you can’t drive there and actually have to walk the beach to arrive). Welcomed by the beautiful gardens, I made my way up to the yoga hall.
The space is on the 2nd floor above the restaurant overlooking the ocean and the beach. It’s all made of wood and decorated in a chakra theme. The open window walls allow you to gaze out beyond the tops of the palm trees as far as the eye can see.
Yes, I wasn’t that late… Thank you Costa Rica time! Pura vida! Ximena, the instructor, greeted me with a warm welcome and began the class with a grounding initial relaxation.
This is exactly what I needed- it allowed me to slow down, let go of the morning rush and even stop sweating! She focused on deep abdominal breathing, filling the entire body with oxygen and letting go. We inhaled for 4 counts and exhaled for 8. This technique of slowing down the exhale truly calmed the nervous system and mind almost immediately. She invited us to breathe into our entire body and accept it the way it is- perfect.
With each couple of breaths, we focused on our different bodies, moving from the physical, to mental, emotional and spiritual. For me, it was the perfect start and I knew immediately that I would take more than the physical benefits from the class.
Next, we focussed on some gentle warming exercises to stretch the neck, shoulders, wrists, spine and rib cage. It was ideal for anyone who had been traveling or for those on a relaxing vacation away from their busy lives.
We continued to warm the body with the practice of some classic sun salutations, always with a focus on the breath- especially the exhale.
She reminded us the benefits of inversions and the calming and restorative power of downward dog.
I loved the slower pace of the flowing sequence which really allowed you to keep focus on breath and to stretch into hips and back, all while strengthening with warriors and plank pose.
The next portion included a variety of classical asanas: twists, forward folds, balance poses. Throughout the postures, Ximena had a natural way of sharing yogic teachings about staying present, being still and also on the energy of the chakras. She also played some soft music in the background: a mix between flute and mantras. It was a nice touch, and I was happy it wasn’t overpowering the sound of the majestic waves.
I loved gazing out during tree pose as I saw a giant iguana crawling down a palm tree followed by a group of 6 pelicans flying by over the water. We were even graced by some horseback riders passing by. It all made me smile.
The practice was a graceful balance between ease and effort. As a yoga instructor myself, I really felt inspired by Ximena in the way that she presented the class and made it accessible for all levels. Her sweet and playful energy was also a blessing.
The class ended with a brief meditation where she chanted a beautiful mantra before we reclined back for savasana.
I felt so much gratitude (well for -actually finding it and making it to class) for the gift to practice above the beach, looking out to mother ocean. I often like to close my eyes when I practice, but I was feeling guided to gaze softly outward. I learned so much in that 90 minutes while watching the waves with so much awareness. I most vividly remember noticing the yin and yang between graceful rolling waves and the powerful crashing break. It reminded me that our lives are just that, moments where we are flowing with ease and grace, followed by moments of crashing stress or devastation. What I also understood is that we need to honor our softness just as much as our power- we need both, a blend of the heart chakra with Manipura, our inner fire.
We think that we need to take an adventure to paradise, in the middle of no where, on a beach… To experience bliss. Don’t get me wrong I am forever grateful for the class and the opportunity to be a student. However, I truly know that every moment is filled with beauty, wonderment and stillness, I just need to take the time to pause, recognize and remember.
Afterward, you can enjoy the same view down at the restaurant and treat yourself to a delicious shake with superfood spirulina! I indulged inan iced chai tea latte sin azucar.
