AWAKENED BODY
Costa Rica Retreat | February 3-10th, 2024
Nourishment. Healing. Connection. Cultivation.
Join us for a week of deep practice, connection, exploration, and play — all in the heart of the Jungle’s magic.
INTENTION
The heart of this journey is to go deep within ourselves, to find the places that are craving care and rejuvenation. To establish self-understanding and develop practices that can TRULY nourish and support us, within and outside of this container.
We will have daily movement classes; namely yoga and ecstatic dance! *(You do NOT need to have a solid practice, my aim is to make the movement accessible for all bodies, take what you need.)*
We will also have teachings that range between Ayurveda, Somatics, Astrology, Meditation, Tantra, and Ancestral Connection – ALL with the intention that these are tools you can take with you to form a solid foundation for supporting mind, body & spirit back home. It’ll be like the “greatest hits” from these incredible wisdom sciences, to provide you with the foundational philosophies & frameworks to support your personal process.
We will also share plenty of Ritual, ceremony & intentional space throughout the week, to connect with self, spirit, the land, and the ancestors. My intention is to also support those interested in developing a solid ceremonial practice at home. Cacao & hapé ceremonies will also be woven into the week.
The jungle truly brings its own magic to the process, so I want to leave plenty of free time for you to also explore the landscape and medicine of the Earth forces there. We will likely have an excursion to some place off site near Montezuma, and potentially a beach-clean up sesh at the ocean too!
Let’s be honest, there are so very many different retreats being offered these days. All offering their own flavor of a week full of medicine. My intention is that this retreat allows you the space for your OWN deep inner journey, while also inviting connection to Land, Ancestors, each other, and Spirit.
To both nourish and enliven the soul, rejuvenating our stores while simultaneously offering integrative resources and teachings that you can take home with you.
Prepare for wild and beautiful connections with nature, practices to deepen connection with your Self, medicine of many forms, teachings from wisdom traditions, and plenty of PLAY!
HEART OF THE JUNGLE
The location that we’ll be sharing this week-long immersion within is truly magical beyond words. This is a retreat center that I had the privilege of living & teaching at earlier this year – located just outside of Montezuma, a beachside surfer town in Costa Rica. The center itself is located deep within the jungle, about a 20 minute walk up the river! It has beautiful rooms with outdoor showers, a large open-air Yoga space, a pool, a hill overlooking the jungle, and plenty of places to escape into nature for privacy. Its surrounded by hiking trails that lead to various waterfalls spread throughout the property. I can easily say its one of the most magical, unbelievable places I've ever experienced. Monkeys & jungle flower friends galore, as Costa Rica has over 60% of the world’s biodiversity!
ACCOMODATIONS
There are various types of shared and private rooms, all awesome and immaculately kept! You will have the option of private or shared rooms, all beds are individual besides a few casitas for couples that want to room privately together!
February is before the rainy season, when the weather is most moderate/regularly beautiful, so luckily we won't have to worry about excessive bugs or thunderstorms! Pack for warm, sunny, beach-like weather & yoga!
NOURISHMENT
We will have an awesome team of chefs on board for the training, preparing vegetarian meals 3 times a day!! Teagan will be in cahoots with them to arrange the meals according to ayurvedic principles!

Reflections
Teagan's work has opened the biggest door for me. Over the past year, I've participated in countless ecstatic dances she's facilitated, and the change in my nervous system is tangible. Specifically as a person with chronic pain, the combination of free-form movement in a safe, trauma informed setting has personally helped me more than any other practice or medical intervention I've tried thus far. In addition to ecstatic dance, I did one reiki session with Teagan that was wonderful. Here's to wishing the reader well on their healing journey <3
