Pura Vida ~ Pure Life
We will begin our Goddess retreat by connecting with our new, high-vibe sisterhood tribe, soaking in the sun and the breathtaking scenery! Together we will explore the dazzling salt-water beaches of Costa Rica's Pacific shoreline before checking into our all-inclusive retreat center.
Imagine dipping your toes into the clear water, while sipping the juice of a fresh coconut, truly embodying your Goddess energy.
Deeply relax and settle into being. EVERYTHING has been taken care of for you from gourmet meals to restorative, wholistic wellness sessions to eco excursions that have been on your vision board for ages. Smile knowing that you have finally made your dreams a reality!
Breathe in the scent of freedom - this is Pura Vida - the Pure Life!!
Pure Energy
The daily grind is just that... it wears down our body, mind and spirit, leaving us feeling depleted of energy, creativity, and inner peace.
You deserve so much more my Queen! Allow yourself to receive as you elevate your vibration with reiki-infused therapeutic yoga, a sensuous blue clay treatment, a craniosacral or Thai massage and appreciate the gorgeous curves of your body flowing with a belly dance class, while listening to the soothing sounds of the jungle on the 360° open air deck.
All Goddess sessions are designed to restore, refresh, and rejuvenate you so that your body feels light and empowered, your mind is clear and at ease, and your spirit soars with joy and connection.
Your new Goddess energy will support your highest soul path long after we shower you with blessings at the closing rose ceremony.
Pure Nourishment
When is the last time you didn't have to think about what to have for dinner, grocery shop and meal prep? This is often reality day in and day out.
Leave those worries back home because you, Dear Goddess, will be fed like royalty!
A professional chef will prepare all our exquisite meals. Enjoy nourishing breakfasts with fruit picked from local trees, incredibly satisfying lunches, savory gourmet dinners, and of course, delectable desserts and fun surprises, enjoyed amongst the laughter of new friends.
Sit poolside while drinking fruit smoothies, refreshing your body from the inside out with food sourced only from the best quality, almost entirely certified organic, locally sourced, and sustainably produced ingredients.
The meals served will be mostly plant based to ensure that our bodies and minds are light, clear, and open to receive the incredible energy of the food.
Locally sourced eggs will be available if desired.
For refreshments, indulge in the freshest coconut water, a variety of teas, coffee, and fruit juices.
Allow your body to relish in pure, delicious nourishment!
Pure Nature
Costa Rica is world-renowned for its stunning natural beauty. Picture yourself standing in the mist of a waterfall behind a canopy of trees, looking up to see a family of monkeys scurrying to find food or maybe catch the sleepy smile of a sloth above.
Experience becoming the heroine of your own story as you ride horseback along the pristine beaches at sunset, embodying your Inner Goddess while you watch the pink and orange sky fade into the blue ocean waters. Here, you will witness your dreams coming true and realize that you are the creator of your own reality.
Soak it all in as you whisper words of gratitude to Mother Earth for providing this experience of a lifetime.
She whispers back, "Enjoy every moment dear Goddess."
"WHY COSTA RICA?"
There are hundreds of reasons
why Costa Rica is the perfect selection
for our next Goddess of Light
Destination Retreat.
I have narrowed it down to the
top 7 reasons
that an intentional retreat here will
support you to take your
dreams and bliss to the next level!
A Fountain of Youth
The life expectancy of Costa Rica is 80.94, more than 4 years greater than the United States. this makes it the ideal destination to embody wellness and longevity!
Costa Rica is also considered by many happiness experts to be the "Happiest Place on Earth". This is the perfect place to inspire women to tap into energy, joy, and awaken their own fountain of youth to improve not only our own lives, but also creates a ripple effect that elevates joy of all around us.
Stunning Beaches
With its miles of coastline, Costa Rica has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with crystal-clear waters, soft sand, and stunning sunsets. The warm waters and sunshine gives us the freedom to unwind and relax, and the ocean provides a sense of clarity and renewal.
Every time I ask our Goddess of Light community what their dream destination is, anywhere on the beach is always at the top of the list!
Eco-Tourism
Costa Rica is a leader in eco-tourism and offers visitors the chance to experience sustainable travel that supports conservation efforts.
As mission-driven women, with deep respect for Mother Earth, it is essential that our travel celebrates nature and honors sustainability.
With over 500,000 species of animals, Costa Rica is also a paradise for animal lovers, with opportunities to see everything from monkeys and sloths to whales and dolphins to toucans and butterflies.
Scenery
From majestic volcanoes to cascading waterfalls to tropical forests, Costa Rica's natural beauty is breathtaking and awe-inspiring.
It is the perfect backdrop to support flowing into your new Goddess identity and downloading the energy codes that will elevate your wellness and passions to the next level.
“Travel is the bridge that connects our dreams to reality.” – Jon Miksis
People

The Goddess of Light Retreat Mission
We believe that every woman is a goddess, with a unique and powerful essence that deserves to be honored and celebrated.
Our mission is to create a space where women can thrive and connect with their highest selves,
surrounded by like-minded sisters who support and uplift each other.
We believe that the key to a fulfilling life is to connect with our inner goddess, and to embrace our mind, body, and spirit in all its forms. Whether we are strong and assertive or gentle and nurturing, we honor the diverse expressions of womanhood and encourage each woman to discover and embrace her own unique power.
We believe that self-care is essential to our well-being, and that taking time to nurture ourselves is not only a luxury but a necessity.
At our retreats, we provide a sanctuary where women can escape the demands of daily life and focus on their own self-care journey. From nourishing meals to guided meditations and yoga practices, we offer a range of activities designed to promote relaxation, rejuvenation, and bliss.
We believe that community is vital to our happiness and success, and that by coming together as women, we can support and inspire each other to reach our full potential. Our retreats provide a safe and supportive environment where women can connect deeply with one another, sharing their struggles and triumphs and offer each other guidance and encouragement.
We believe that by empowering women to connect with their inner goddess, we can create a ripple effect of positive change in the world. When women are thriving and fulfilled, they have the power to inspire and uplift their families, communities, and beyond.
Our vision is to create a world where all women can embrace their divine energy and live their lives to the fullest.
Join us on this journey of self-discovery, sisterhood, and transformation. Come home to your inner goddess and let us support you on your path to thriving and connecting to your highest self!
