Reconnect with Ease Retreat

Nov 7, 2024 to Nov 12, 2024
Costa Rica

Retreat, Reconnect, Reset, Relax

 

Your host and guest speakers wanted to put together a retreat that will allow women the opportunity to be around women who share similar backgrounds and experiences from all walks of life. We want to invite you to join other women for an opportunity to reconnect, relax, explore, and reset in the beautiful Northern Highlands of Costa Rica. We will enjoy waterfalls, and hot springs and feast on world-class cuisines. Whether you are looking for self-care, adventure, wellness, or a getaway, you don't want to miss this opportunity to manifest and reset this amazing experience. This is not your average retreat, we want you to know we care about you, we want to know how you are doing, and we want you to be free of self-expectations and leave you with more clarity and confidence within yourself. 

We will stay LADE Boutique Resort in the city of Tamarindo in a private, adults-only resort filled with enriching amenities. Amenities include private pools, private property, complimentary transportation, spa, adult-only, and much more! If you are interested in joining and have questions related to the resort arrangement, please contact the host directly.
