Your Invitation To Transformation
Have you been feeling that persistent whisper calling you toward something greater?
That knowing that there's more waiting for you, if only you could create the space to hear it clearly? This isn't just another retreat. This is a courageous invitation to step into the arena of your own becoming.
Perched above the sparkling Pacific Ocean, surrounded by pristine rainforest and wrapped in endless horizons, Anamaya Resort becomes your sanctuary for an extraordinary week of fun, adventure and transformation.
Here, in this slice of paradise, you're invited to join an intimate circle of just 10 remarkable women for a journey that will:
✨ Blend spiritual play with practical vision-setting

✨ Create lasting connections with like-minded women
✨ Renew your spirit in breathtaking natural beauty
This is not just a retreat. It's the beginning of what comes next.
What Makes This Experience Extraordinary?
This retreat is crafted for women who hear the call for something more.
We believe that we can only truly become who we're meant to be when we're brave enough to show up imperfectly in a circle of other women who are doing the same. The research is clear: our brains are wired for connection, and transformation happens not in isolation but in community, especially when we feel truly seen and accepted. This retreat creates that rare and precious container—where together, we can shed the armor we've been carrying and discover what's waiting on the other side of perfectionism and fear.
Unlike typical vacations or standard wellness retreats, this experience weaves together ancient wisdom and modern transformation in a place of extraordinary beauty. Here, the magic of Costa Rica's natural environment combines with intentional community and expert facilitation to create a truly awesome experience—one where vision becomes clarity, dreams find their path to reality, and your authentic self emerges renewed.
This journey balances profound transformation with abundant joy—expect days filled with laughter, adventure, deep connection, and play. As you stretch into what's possible for the coming year, you'll discover that meaningful growth flourishes when nurtured by genuine fun and radical self-care. Our circle celebrates each breakthrough with equal measures of reverence and delight, creating an experience that feels as liberating as it is transformative.
