Take a deep breath and picture yourself sitting by the pool relaxing without a worry or care in the world. Knowing that this is your time and there’s plenty of it. Feeling connected with yourself, your heart and your joy.
Imagine…starting your day watching the sun rise or sleep in. Your choice. This is a great time to journal, meditate and set intentions.
Follow this with a peaceful morning yoga practice to connect with your breath and body through mindful movement and pranayama (breathwork).
Lots of time to sit, reflect, journal and breathe…and listen to your heart, your quiet thoughts, the jungle sounds, the ocean. Or join others in surfing lessons, hiking and other fun activities all available to you should you wish.
Tap into your inner warrior spirit and harness the energy of sovereignty through self-defense classes, circle rituals and dance.
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.
Experience what it feels like to let go…to surrender. Discover the tools you need to stay connected at home. Awaken to the beauty within you as you retreat to Costa Rica and the Rising Moon Retreat.
There is something about the jungle sounds and being near the ocean that opens your heart and gives you access to your soul. The jungle of Costa Rica is calling you home to you.
Imagine...
..having time...
...to do what YOU want to do even if that's nothing at all.
We invite you to join us in Nosara, Costa Rica at Casas Kismet
March 2 - 9th, 2024
Retreat
Away from distraction, busyness and obligations to anything other than you. As a women only retreat our combined feminine energy is more powerful and expands us all. Whether you are joining us to have some fun, experience something new, heal, find some peace and quiet or all of the above, the jungle and pacific ocean is waiting for you to enjoy.
Reconnect
With nature, your heart, your soul and each other. Reconnect with your prana (life force energy) and learn how it flows through us and where it might be getting stuck. Each day we will focus on a different chakra as we journey through them all during our week together. Enjoy connecting with your Rising Moon Sisters as we support and share with each other.
Rejoice
Rejoice in this gift time you have given yourself to sit, be and do what you feel called to do. Enjoy the ease of new friendships and feel the lightness within that comes from you loving you. Give yourself this gift of indulgence because you deserve it and join us for a week of rest, relaxation, mindfulness, meditation and movement.
Renew
your commitment to yourself and your happiness and healing. Head home feeling lighter, excited and full of love for yourself and life. You know where to go and what to do now. Simply close your eyes and hear the ocean, feel the tropical air and connect back here knowing you have the tools to live a life that feels in tune with your inner rhythm.

Meals at Casas Kismet are fun and communal experience. They're a great way to meet and enjoy the company of your retreat sisters, make new friends, share your day with each other and many laughs.
Meals are served pool side in the outdoor dining area.
Locally Sourced
Nosara region is one of the 5 Blue Zones in the world meaning which means that people here live longer, healthier lives with many living past 100. One of the reasons is rich, fertile soil and healthy lifestyle. All of our food on retreat is local to the Nicoya Peninsula "Blue Zone". So it's super fresh and tasty and prepared on the premises.
A night out!
One night while we are there we will head into town and enjoy a local restaurant and give the staff at Casas Kismet a break.
I have heard wonderful things about the local restaurants and am looking forward to our night out together partaking in the local culture and cuisine.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Below you will find the room options. Single rooms tend to go first so if you want one of those don't delay. I will also be keeping a waitlist for those who would like that if it comes available later as room configurations can change. With the shared rooms we will as much as possible put together a room of friends at everyone's request. This can be done with doubles and quads. So make sure to send in your booking request together if you would like to share a room. You can also head over to the main Casas Kismet website and see more pictures of the rooms there.
