THIS EMPOWERING COSTA RICAN ADVENTURE is for women who want to refresh their bodies and revive their soul.

If you are a woman who is looking for deep and meaningful connections, personal time for reflection, transformation and rest, this powerful week-long immersive tropical retreat is for you.

This is your week to immerse yourself in a sea of holistic wellness. Your dream of a deep drink of downtime is about to come true at this 8 day, 7 night transformative journey. It may be the first time – in a LONG time – that you’ve given yourself a gift like this.

Imagine for a moment, hitting the ‘pause’ button for week all to yourself. Take yourself on a new adventure where you can finally prioritize your needs – to invest in yourself and your health. Pura Vida which translates to “pure life”, is more than a saying; it’s a lifestyle. And this retreat is your gateway to embracing it.

On this week-long women’s only retreat experience, you will be guided to merge with the elements, balancing the fiery energy of hatha yoga mornings with the calming waters of restorative evening workshops.

And when the spirit calls for adventure? The Costa Rican terrain awaits, from thrilling zip-lines to waterfall-hiking eco-adventure tours. Yet, this retreat isn’t just about movement; it’s also about stillness. World-class massage and healing therapists are on hand to guide you towards unlocking your deepest potentials.

And as each day unfolds, facilitated group circles will weave a tapestry of connection and sacred ritual, ensuring you depart with a heart full of memories, friendships, and an invincible sense of self.

• Transportation to and From SJO (Juan Santamaria International Airport).

Awaken Your Truth, Ignite Your Voice, and Let Love Lead Your Life.

What if you could put your life on pause for a week? You’re at a mountain retreat in Costa Rica, surrounded by lush gardens overlooking the Central Valley. For the first time in forever, you feel truly free. Nature holds you here. You can hear yourself again. And you feel a new frequency of joy in your being. Pura Vida, which means “pure life”, is no longer just a saying but becomes your lived reality.

Welcome to iLuminate 2026!

On this retreat you will be guided to remember who you truly are, through knowing the brightest, fullest, most radiant version of you! We’ll balance grounding morning practices with powerful evening sound journeys and sacred ceremonies. And something we’ve never done before—you’ll participate in co-created healings for humanity, as we amplify our own love frequency and send these waves across the planet.

In your free time, the lush mountain energy of Mother Earth holds you. Time to breathe, to wander, to let the energies of Costa Rica work on you. There’s space here to let whatever needs to move, move. Commune with exotic birds, soak in the hot tub, meditate by the pool, share a beautiful conversation. And when something more calls? Optional eco-excursions and spa treatments await.

By the end of the week, something shifts. You’re not the same person who arrived. Through our intimate group experiences and personal introspection, you’ve begun resonating a frequency that’s yours—and it doesn’t fade when you go home. You’ll leave with real connections, new practices, and the unmistakable feeling of having found your way back to yourself.

Prices from $2200-$3500 USD per person and includes:

• Transportation to and from SJO Airport (Juan Santamaria International)
• 7 Days and 6 nights accommodations at award winning Pura Vida Spa
• 3 Locally sourced, nourishing meals daily
