Circle + Ritual: A Return to the Wilds
Morning circle
Deep connection circles where you’ll feel safe to share and heal in a nurturing space.
Our morning circles will be held after breakfast. They are an opportunity for us to connect deeply with our bodies and with each other at the start to the day. They will always include some form of movement, a sharing circle, and other experiences that may include meditation, journaling, divination and card-pulling, practices of awakening the senses, and more.
Movement
Daily movement practices to awaken your senses.
Please note that this is not a traditional yoga retreat. While Jen is trained in yoga, and much of our movement may have a basis in either gentle vinyasa, hatha, or yin yoga, we will not stop there. We will incorporate energy medicine practices, qi gong, intuitive movement, dance, and somatic release into our experience.
Ritual
Guided rituals and sacred ceremonies to connect to your body’s wisdom, heal the wounds of your past, and rewrite your story.
This retreat is a chance to let go of old stories and fully embrace the power of your sensual self. We will use ritual, ceremony, parts work, psychodrama, and more to help you reconnect, realign, and rise into your most authentic and vibrant self.
The purpose of ritual is to embody a particular transformation. Whether we are looking to set intentions for manifestation, for healing, for revering an aspect of nature, for protection, or for banishing, we use ritual as a way to “act out” the transformation we are desiring.
Workshops & Playshops
Sensory workshops designed to awaken your vision, touch, sound, taste, and smell.
Part of sensuality is our aliveness! Our sensuality lies in our ability to tap into our senses and receive pleasure from what we experience. We will practice tapping into each of our senses and awakening our life force and joy from the experience.
* New to yoga, circles, or ritual? *
You don’t need any experience coming into this container, as long as you come with an open mind and open heart. This will be an intimate and transformative space. The nature of women’s circles and rituals is that it can sometimes invite us to look at aspects of our beings that feel emotional. If emotions arise, that is beautiful. That gifts us with an opportunity to let them flow and allow them to alchemize.
Ritual is a very sacred space and I invite you to hold a reverence while in the ritual, including coming to the ritual sober and of clear mind. The nature of group ritual is that we are all holding the energy for each other, and we want our circle to be of deep presence, focus, and integrity.

This journey isn’t just about experiencing pleasure — it’s about reclaiming your birthright of joy, power, and freedom.
Map It: Where we’ll be
We’ll be on the eastern coast of Costa Rica, near the town of Cahuita. We are just 200 yards away from gorgeous pristine beaches, so you’ll have access to the Atlantic Ocean whenever you want.
After flying into San Jose, we will spend the night there — you’ll have an option for a group dinner or to take free time in San Jose.
The next day, we’ll board our group van to shuttle us to Cahuita where we will settle in for the next week. If you prefer not to drive the 4-6ish hours to our lodging (depending on traffic), you can book a short flight on a tiny airplane from San Jose to Limon airport nearby.
Thoughtful Lodging: Where we’ll stay
Our home away from home will be The Goddess Garden, a beautiful retreat center using sustainable practices, nestled on 14 acres of beautiful jungle. The Goddess Garden is just 200 yards away from the beautiful Atlantic beaches and just a short ride away from the downtown of Cahuita.
With a pool, a spa, and beautiful rooms, it will be a comfortable place for us to lay our heads for the week together.
