“Traveling is not a luxury, it’s a necessity for the soul.”
If you’re a soulful, compassionate, mission-driven woman who’s craving time to nourish your mind, body, & soul, and reconnect to your highest, most blissful self, join us for a transformational experience where jungle meets ocean in Uvita, Costa Rica for a magical Goddess of Light Destination Retreat!
Immerse yourself in the lush abundance of nature and relaxation, while deeply connecting with other incredible powerhouse women who are on a mission to make a positive change in the world and in their own lives.
For 6 days and 5 nights, embody the essence of the Goddess and the Wild Woman so that you return home completely restored and ready to step into your life and soul’s path with renewed passion and purpose.
YOUR GODDESS JOURNEY AWAITS
Welcome to Paradise!
Our retreats are specially curated to relax and restore each women’s mind, body, soul, and energy, while supporting her path to be the woman of her own dreams…the woman whose actions are intentional and aligned with the life she chooses to lead.
Here, you will elevate your well-being and restore your passion to your soul’s highest path., while having the most incredible time of your life!
Pure Energy
The daily grind is just that…it wears down our body, mind and spirit, leaving us feeling depleted of energy, creativity, and inner peace.
You deserve so much more my queen! Allow yourself to receive as you elevate your vibration with reiki-infused therapeutic yoga, sensuous blue clay play, a luxurious massage and appreciate the gorgeous curves of your body flowing while listening to the soothing sounds of the jungle on the 360° open air deck.
All sessions are designed to restore, refresh, and rejuvenate you so that your body feels light and empowered, your mind is clear and at ease and your spirit soars with joy and connection.
Your new Goddess energy will support your highest soul path long after we shower you with blessings at the closing rose ceremony.
Pure Nature
Costa Rica is world-renowned for its stunning natural beauty. Picture yourself standing in the mist of a waterfall behind a canopy of trees, looking up to see a family of monkeys scurrying to find food or maybe catch the sleepy smile of a sloth above.
Experience becoming the heroine of your own story as you frolic on the pristine beaches at sunset, embodying your Inner Goddess while you watch the pink and orange sky fade into the blue ocean waters. Here, you will witness your dreams coming true and realize that you are the creator of your own reality.
Soak it all in as you whisper words of gratitude to Mother Earth for providing this experience of a lifetime. She whispers back, "Enjoy every moment dear Goddess.”
Pura Vida - Pure Life
We will begin our Goddess Retreat by connecting with our new, high-vibe sisterhood tribe, soaking in the sun and the breathtaking scenery! Together, we will explore the dazzling saltwater beaches of Costa Rica’s Pacific shoreline before checking into our all-inclusive retreat center.
Imagine dipping your toes into the clear water, while sipping the juice of a fresh coconut, truly embodying your Goddess energy.
Deeply relax and settle into being. EVERYTHING has been taken care of for you from gourmet meals to restorative, wholistic wellness sessions to eco excursions that have been on your vision board for ages. Smile knowing that you have finally made your dreams a reality!
Breathe in the scent of freedom - this is Pura Vida - the Good Life!

A professional chef will prepare our exquisite meals. Enjoy nourishing breakfasts, incredibly satisfying lunches, savory gourmet dinners, and of course, delectable desserts and fun surprises, enjoyed amongst the laughter of new friends.
Sit poolside while drinking fruit smoothies, refreshing your body from the inside out with food sourced only from the best quality, almost entirely certified organic, locally sourced, and sustainably produced ingredients.
The meals served will be mostly plant based to ensure that our bodies and minds are light & clear. Locally sourced eggs will be available if desired. For refreshments, indulge in a variety of teas, coffee, and fruit juices. Several meals will be enjoyed at local establishments.
Allow your body to relish in pure, delicious nourishment!
“WHY COSTA RICA?”
There are hundreds of reasons why Costa Rica is the perfect selection for a Goddess of Light Destination Retreat.
I have narrowed it down to the top 7 reasons that an intentional retreat here will support you to take your dreams and bliss to the next level!
Breathtaking Beaches
With its miles of coastline, Costa Rica has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with crystal-clear waters, soft sand, and stunning sunsets. The warm waters and sunshine gives us the freedom to unwind and relax, and the ocean provides a sense of clarity and renewal.
Every time I ask our Goddess of Light Retreats community what their dream destination is, anywhere on the beach is always at the top of the list - and Uvita does not disappoint!
Stunning Scenery
From majestic volcanoes to cascading waterfalls to tropical forests, Costa Rica's natural beauty is breathtaking and awe-inspiring.
It is the perfect backdrop to support flowing into your new Goddess identity and downloading the energy codes that will elevate your wellness and passions to the next level.
“Travel is the bridge that connects our dreams to reality.” – Jon Miksis
The Call of the Wild
Costa Rica helps us remember our wild, natural, authentic self. Float in the river, play in the ocean, zipline through the jungle, and connect with your inner strength and courage, as well as boost your self-confidence.
During our retreat, you can choose an adventure activity or extra time to rejuvenate if you're not ready for new heights!
We will also cruise out onto the ocean as we celebrate our inner heroine!
A Fountain of Youth
The life expectancy of Costa Rica is 80.94, more than 4 years greater than the United States. This makes it the ideal destination to embody wellness and longevity!
Costa Rica is also considered by many happiness experts to be the "Happiest Place on Earth". This is the perfect place to inspire women to tap into energy, joy, and awaken their own fountain of youth to improve not only our own lives, but also creates a ripple effect that elevates joy all around us.
Eco-Tourism
Costa Rica is a leader in eco-tourism and offers visitors the chance to experience sustainable travel that supports conservation efforts.
As mission-driven women, with deep respect for Mother Earth, it is essential that our travel celebrates nature and honors sustainability.
With over 500,000 species of animals, Costa Rica is also a paradise for animal lovers, with opportunities to see everything from monkeys and sloths to whales and dolphins to toucans and butterflies.
A tree is planted in Costa Rica in honor of every woman who attends the Goddess Destination Retreat.
Leave Smiling
Costa Rica has some of the warmest and friendliest people you'll ever meet. The country is a melting pot of cultures, with influences from Spain, Indigenous groups, and Afro-Caribbean populations.
We will explore some of its unique traditions and customs and visit a famers' market where through food and conversations, we will connect with the local community. Their hospitality and kindness will make you feel right at home and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime!
Whole-Being Wellness
The peaceful, natural environment of Costa Rica is perfect for a Goddess retreat. Away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, we will enjoy a serene and tranquil environment perfect for disconnecting from the distractions of everyday life and reconnecting with oneself.

FAQ’s
I’m so busy already with work and/or family obligations. How will I find the time to attend this retreat?
If you feel the pull of work obligations, remember your most valuable asset is not your employer or your business. Your most valuable asset is your health and wellbeing. This retreat will help you enhance your life in so many ways that you may even increase your productivity, creativity and innovation upon return.
You’re so busy putting everyone’s needs first…your partner’s, your children’s, your boss’s, etc. that you may not remember what it is like to prioritize your own well being and enjoyment. For that matter, maybe you never had an opportunity to really consider what would bring YOU joy.
I completely understand and was there myself. I left my three children at home with my partner and flew to Florida to visit my sister one weekend after she had her first child. Beyond visiting and cooking them a few meals, I was sans any obligations. I could finally just breathe again. I knew on my way back home that I not only needed to intentionally prioritize time to spend with ME, I needed to invite other women along!
Every mother who has come to a Goddess Of Light Retreat felt more expansive and free by reconnecting to herself and having supportive women by her side. Some women have even stated that they felt more compassionate towards their children when they returned home…myself included!
This opportunity sounds amazing and exactly what I need! Unfortunately, I’m not sure I can swing the investment.
Let me ask you first, what might be possible for you IF you attend the Goddess retreat?
If you took the time to deeply reconnect to your own intuition, spent nearly a week immersed in both relaxation activities and incredible personal growth while surrounded by the healing waters of the Pacific and the soothing energy of the Costa Rican jungle?
What might you gain from being in a sacred sisterhood of the most loving and supportive women you can imagine, who inspire you to stretch the belief of who are into the most beautiful, radiant, abundant version of you that exists?
There is nothing more powerful than saying YES to what you know in your heart that you need and desire.
While I cannot guarantee any results from attending the retreat, participants of past retreats have opened themselves to manifesting and attracting their dream home, loving relationships, new opportunities, and even pregnancy! Making decisions from a place of lack attracts more lack. I have lived and learned this personally. Whenever I make the choice to powerfully step into a place of gratitude and abundance, guess what flows to me? More to be grateful for!
So if you’re ready to commit to your next level self, your Goddess energy I invite you to participate in our payment plan so that you can feel confident about making a financial decision that is truly an investment in YOU. When you pay the deposit, you can plan for the remaining balance so that there are no barriers between you and your true desires!
Email hello@goddessoflightretreats.com to inquire about a payment plan.
Additionally, if you’re a business owner, you may be able to attend the retreat as a business education expense. Please consult with a tax expert to determine if you qualify.
I have special dietary needs. Will the retreat center accommodate me?
Absolutely!
Our retreat center will provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts and special snacks that are of the highest-quality, mostly local and mostly organic. Vegan and gluten-free options are standard. Specific dietary needs and allergies will be passed on to the chef who will ensure that every meal is perfectly suited to our needs.
I do not know any other women on the retreat. Will I “fit in”?
Great question. We have had many retreat participants join solo and leave gaining a new group of sister-friends! As long as you are open to meeting new women and leave judgement of self and others behind, you will find an abundance of love and support. On one retreat, a woman realized that she was the youngest Goddess in the group and felt nervous about being able to relate to some of the other women. By the end of the retreat, she found a soul sister in a woman who was nearly twice her age and they bonded over shared struggles of motherhood.
The women who join our Goddess Retreats may experience differences of the outer world, but they learn to appreciate their own unique beauty and strength within as well as the connection they share with one another. We will have intentional practices to connect with one another and grow together!
