Imagine stepping into a sacred circle of women — each one bringing her story, her heart, her light. This retreat is a celebration of community, compassion, and kindness. A place where healing happens together, where laughter is medicine, and where your spirit is nurtured by the strength of sisterhood.
You are invited to slow down, reconnect, and remember: you were never meant to walk this path alone.
Here is a place where you can finally exhale. Where the soft rhythms of nature wrap around you, and the warmth of a supportive sisterhood invites you to simply be.
The Rising Moon Sisters Retreat is a sacred week devoted to community, compassion, and kindness — a true homecoming for your heart and spirit. Here, surrounded by kindred souls, you'll find the space to reconnect, to soften, to heal, and to rise.
We will open our sacred journey with a full moon ceremony, weaving our intentions and energies together under the glow of the Costa Rican sky.
Tap into your inner spirit and harness the energy of the divine feminine through ritual, connection and sisterhood.
And then...
..lean into having time...
...to do what YOU want to do even if that's nothing at all. Feel your heart open and sing with joy as you give yourself the gift of retreating into the jungle and yourself. Reconnect with your spirit, your voice and your love. Rejoice as you awaken to what is possible for you and leave with renewed passion for life and connection with your heart and soul.
We invite you to join us in Nosara, Costa Rica at Casas Kismet.Â

Retreat & Celebrate
Come, dear sister, and lay your burdens down.
Under the light of the full moon, we will honour the experiences that shaped us and the dreams still stirring within. In sacred ceremony and simple joys, we will celebrate the beauty of choosing ourselves — again and again.
This is your time to breathe, to rise, and to remember:
you are the celebration.
Rejoice & Reconnect
Rejoice in the friendships forged, the compassion exchanged, and the kindness that blooms when women gather in sacred community.
Reconnect with nature, your heart, your soul, and a circle of sisters who will walk beside you — lifting you higher with every breath, every laugh, every quiet moment shared.
Why we gather
When women come together with open hearts, something powerful happens.
In the gentle presence of sisterhood, healing deepens. In the safety of shared stories, joy expands. Through the practices of mindfulness, self-care, and compassionate connection, we remember that we were never meant to walk alone.
This retreat is your invitation to be part of something timeless: women gathering to nurture, to witness, and to rise together.
Where we gather
Our sanctuary is tucked into the hills of Nosara, Costa Rica, where the jungle meets the Pacific Ocean.
Surrounded by tropical jungle, untouched, natural endless beaches and rhythms of the ocean, you'll find a space that holds you — safe, serene, and steeped in natural beauty and the magic of Costa Rica and the Pura Vida lifestyle.
Here, nature itself becomes a companion on your self-love journey.
Are you wondering if this retreat is right for you?

Each day unfolds with ease and intention.
We greet the morning with mindful movement, yoga and connection, nourish ourselves with fresh, vibrant food, and spend our days weaving between soul-nourishing practices, sisterhood circles, and quiet moments to simply be.
There will be time for adventure and exploration, and just as much time for rest and reflection — all at your own pace, all wrapped in kindness.
👉 On our very first evening together, we will gather under the light of the full moon to celebrate the beginning of our sacred journey. In a special opening ceremony, we will honor the moon's wisdom, set intentions for our week ahead, and weave our individual energies into the tapestry of sisterhood. This magical night will mark the start of a powerful and transformative experience.

YOUR RETREATÂ LEADER
~ Elisabeth Parsons, Retreat Founder & Curator
Hello future Rising Moon Sister,Â
I am so pleased you are here and considering a retreat in Italy with me.
I’ve spent over 20 years working in the field of women’s health, wellness, and self-care. I founded Fit4You in 2000 to help women feel strong and empowered in their bodies. After presenting at international conferences and teaching health and fitness professionals for over a decade, I shifted my focus to supporting women through separation and divorce. To best serve my clients I use a combination of traditional talk coaching and spiritual practices to guide clients through this challenging time in their lives.
To serve you better, I’ve become Reiki attuned and certified as well as a Breath and Meditation Coach with Escape Haven, earned an Energy Healing Certificate from the Academy of Energy Healing, and completed Restorative Yoga teacher training at Sarovara Yoga.
I believe every woman can heal herself and create the life she deserves, beginning with self-care, self-discovery, and self-love. This philosophy is at the heart of the Rising Moon Sisters Retreats, which I currently run in Costa Rica, Europe, and Canada.
My open-mindedness, flexibility, and passion have supported and inspired thousands of women through coaching, memberships, online courses, and retreats.
I’m a proud mother of four adult sons, remarried to Glen, and a stepmom to three. I’m also the happy mom of my forever puppy, Finnigan. My favourite pastimes include spiritual practices, continuous learning, reading, mountain biking, skiing, spending time with family and friends, and watching the sun and moon rise and set.
I can’t wait to take you on a life-changing journey at one of my upcoming retreats.
Yours in healing and light,
Elisabeth xo
