Goddess Activation: A Journey Towards Wholeness in Costa Rica with Katie Wells

Feel the warm, universal embrace of Costa Rica as you step off of the plane and into your week-long wellness retreat. You'll be transferred to the Goddess Garden, an eco-resort in beautiful Cahuita. Watch as the gentle flow of the tide brings in positive energy from the ocean, inviting you to look inwards and transform yourself. After checking into the accommodation and taking a moment to marvel at Costa Rica's wonders. Then, after dinner, we'll have our first workshop, a session combining movement, meditation, reflection, and connection. We'll be turning our focus towards our Root chakras, connecting with Gaia and reclaiming the temple of the body. By arriving present in your body, grounding with the earth, and establishing comfort with the group, you will be led in a process of calming the nervous system as stress and tension fall away. A sound healing session will cap off the day, affording us time to wind down and prepare for rest.

Good morning! Rise to an amazing view with the sunlight glinting off of the waves and start with a morning movement and meditation session. Savor a nourishing meal before our morning workshop where we will work with our Sacral chakras, invoking the goddess Oshun. Oshun governs the waters and sensuality, so we will hold this class on the beach and center the end of our workshop around sacred sensuality and flow. Enjoy some free time after lunch, indulging in the peace around you. After dinner, we'll continue our work on the Sacral chakras and center our evening around Oshun.

Today is all about the Self and how it relates to the greater world that surrounds you. Our post-breakfast morning workshop will hone in on our Solar Plexus chakras and learn how to uphold our boundaries. After lunch, you'll have a bit of free time before our evening workshop to continue working on our Solar Plexus.

Cahuita comes to life as the sun shines down upon the retreat. Fuel your body and spirit with breakfast before our morning workshop, where we transition to our Heart chakras. This workshop will incorporate sacred dance of moving from the heart as well as a guided self-soothing meditation in candle light, calling in Kwan Yin, the goddess of compassion. Discover a sense of deep self-love and self-compassion before we bring that compassion outwards and feel the same level of care for our surroundings and the divine universe that we inhabit.

After lunch, we continue our work with the Heart chakra as we use the form of Authentic Movement to open our hearts as a loving witness. This workshop will also double as a sharing circle, allowing you to turn your compassion into words as you share your thoughts and feelings with the group.

After dinner, explore or rest with some free time.

The schedule for today is slightly different. For the majority of the day, we'll have free time so that you can absorb the lessons of the retreat and give yourself the care you need. Use this time to integrate all that we have discovered and experienced. You're free to explore the nearby town or the local tourist attractions as you journey through introspection. You're free to go wherever you're called. In the afternoon, we will hone in on the Throat chakra and the goddess Saraswati, discover more of our authentic selves with playful games and journaling.

Under the night sky, we'll begin to activate our third eyes, deepening into intuition and gaining an understanding of our souls' paths. We will go on a shamanic journey to meet Hecate, the goddess of wisdom, as she helps us to cut away what no longer serves us and lights our way with new clarity. We will also participate in blindfolded dancing to go deep within our inner vision.

It's the final full day of our Costa Rican wellness retreat, and we're going to begin with a morning movemeent and meditation session. Through meditative relaxation and deep poses, you'll feel a strong connection between your mind and body, furthering the work we've already done. Lunch, free time, and dinner will then lead us to an evening goddess celebration. Invoking the all-powerful goddess Shakti, we will expand into cosmic unity, feeling one with everything and enjoying a sensation of absolute harmony. The joy of this retreat peaks with a festive evening Goddess Party as we celebrate the progress we've made as sisters. We dress up, eat cake, laugh, play, and step into our goddess selves!

We've finally reached the conclusion of our Costa Rican escape. With your journey through the chakras complete, it's time to head home with hearts full. Allow gratitude to course through you as you say goodbye to your newly-found sisters and the amazing vistas of Cahuita. With that, you'll be transferred to the airport to fly home. Safe travels, and thanks so much for joining us!
