If you’re a woman who wants more adventurous and creative time for yourself and your desires, who is ready to refresh and renew your whole feminine being then join us for a retreat where you’ll come away feeling revitalized, empowered, and delighted to feel alive in your skin, heart, and soul

Breathing deep in this gorgeous retreat space, reveling in your time in sacred nature, taking delightful space for personal reflection, and daily moving with feminine celebration, you will feel like coming back home to yourself and your desires.

Connecting with our special circle of women, rewriting your stories with time to share, dreaming big, and being inspired will light you up with a new outlook on your life and desires. Dancing and moving your body we also take excursions to swim in waterfalls, explore the surrounding nature, and spend time on the beach…this feels like freedom!

On this retreat we tune in to our bodies and honor our feminine nature, through mindful movement such as a blend of yoga with different dance stylings (including bellydance, ecstatic, bhangra), quiet and walking meditations, storytelling and prompt-driven journaling, in our beautiful and sacred temple space.

We add in time for personal coaching, shamanic journeying and healing sessions, and of course, healthy eating three vegan delicious and nutritious meals each day. We even spend time creating vision cards with paints, paper, and words. These will help you let go of those exhausted feelings, dream big, and honor your beautiful feminine body to feel nourished, strong, and beautiful.

Wouldn’t it feel great to find more time for yourself and release those stuck and frustrated feelings?

During our retreat, through journaling prompts, movement, and discussions, we’ll show you how to release those obstacles and old stories forever, so you can live with the creative freedom and time you have been craving!

How awesome would it feel for you to have that heart-felt connection stepping into your new desires and feel more connected with yourself?

In our time together, we’ll bring in daily practices of re-connection through reflection, dance, creative expression, and some gorgeous nature excursions, which will guide you to voice your new desires with soulful confidence and clarity.

How fabulous would it feel to regain your sense of adventure and travel somewhere more exotic and see the world in a whole new way?

Through having these new experiences, connecting in our circle of magical women, in this exotic location, you will be inspired by the sights, sounds, and tastes of Costa Rica so you can return home with a fresh perspective and renewed spirit.

Wouldn’t it be delightful to learn how to be done with putting others first and doing something for yourself so you can feel great and live with your heartfelt purpose?

Every day on our retreat, through using my Morning Clarity Rituals and methods of personal reflection, inner connection, and different ways of moving your body, you can step into your desires and possibilities so you can live with your bigger purpose and serve others from a place of love.

I can’t wait to come, Paulette!

Why do we do what we do?

Paulette says:

“As a leader in feminine celebration and a wise crone, I have experienced the many facets that life and creativity and travel have had to offer me. From the beginning years of teaching women to dance,  to add in more spirit-led connections through healing, writing, and coaching, that has led me to a deep dive into living with my own beauty, creativity, and personal soul-inspired actions.

Having lived as a chameleon, a multi-passionate creatrix, I have also helped lead and witness the gorgeous changes women can create for themselves when they allow themselves the experiences and time to rewrite their stories and step out of the box.

This is important and impassioned work for me to help guide other women to live with their most precious and rebellious and inspired soul-driven actions to led the life of their dreams and create changes in the world.”

Misha says:

“I know what it is to transform your life. Having moved from working for the government for over a decade, to now still working for the people but in a way that is far more expansive and free from the limits of modern society. I understand what it’s like to work in the systems and constructs of the modern world, and I’ve found the key to breaking free and instead living in your own blissful life. I am adeptly skilled at shape shifting, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching others to embrace the diversity and excitement of life. I will meet you wherever you are at, and help gently guide you to the next stage of your journey. ”

“Join us in beautiful Costa Rica with Paulette and Misha, two powerful women who are living embodiments of planning out their dreams, and then making them happen. With years of teaching dance, writing, magic, leading retreats, and life experiences as wise women and healers, they are experts at guiding you to make your dreams happen, giving you divine adventures and lead you to your deep dives toward your true desires.”

I have traveled the globe teaching, speaking, dancing, and performing for the last 40+ years as a leader in feminine celebration, and has been leading retreats around the globe for 25 years.
