Costa Rica | January 2027

6 Days to Step Into HER | Limited Spots Available

A luxury, transformational retreat for women ready to move beyond survival and step into strength, clarity, and confidence.

Come join your “Survivor Sisters” for the retreat of a lifetime in the pristine jungles and golden beaches of Costa Rica. 

Pura Vida translated means Pure Life and that is what you will find at this  x day retreat in the beautiful Southern Zone of Costa Rica. 

This retreat was created for you to rest and rejuvenate.  You’ve been through a lot and you have navigated your cancer diagnosis with strength and fortitude.

Now it’s time for you to get your glow again.  

EXPERIENCE THE BEST OF COSTA RICA

Imagine arriving in Costa Rica, where a driver is waiting to pick you up and whisk you down to the South Pacific, where blue oceans meet the lush tropical jungle.  

Have you ever dreamt of waking up to the sound of toucans and parrots serenading you from your balcony? Well, that’s going to happen! Every morning.

Let the warm rays of the Costa Rican sun rejuvenate you as you begin each day with a guided yoga session in our open-air studio overlooking the South Pacific.  Then sit down to a delicious meal of tropical fruits and local cuisine as you plan your day’s adventure.  

Swim beneath waterfalls, run on white sand beaches, bask in the shade of towering coconut trees, fly through the air on ziplines over the jungle canopy, and end each day back at your personal sanctuary where you are surrounded by caring and loving coaches and healers.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED

Your all inclusive retreat includes 3 delicious, mouth-watering meals per day, transportation to and from all adventures, cooking classes, luxurious accommodations, an infiniti pool to relax in and lose yourself.  

Here you will reclaim joy and strength surrounded by newfound friends, healers, and coaches. 

We are all here to support your healing journey and empower you forward on your next chapter.

YOUR HOME FOR THE WEEK

It’s time for you to treat yourself to calm and empowerment. 

Challenge yourself to a morning swim in the warm ocean waters, or fly across the jungle canopy on a zipline where the monkeys and sloths lie waiting to be discovered. Your days will be filled with moments of calm and adventure.  

The Costa Rican people have been named the happiest people on earth year after year and when you’re down here with them in this jungle paradise, their happiness becomes infectious and Pura Vida begins to resonate in your cells.

Joy will return. 

Health will be embraced.

And you will reclaim your power and resilience each day.  

There are only a few spots left, claim yours now! 

Do not let this trip of a lifetime pass you by. 

It’s your turn now, and we are here to celebrate you and all you have accomplished. 

No matter where you are in your journey, we are here to support you.  Whether you’re newly diagnosed, recently completed chemo, or years in remission, you are welcome here and you will thrive here.
