Nourish: A Women's Retreat in Costa Rica

Nourish: A Women’s Retreat in Costa Rica

Blue Spirit Retreat Center, Nosara, Costa Rica

November 29, 2025 – December 6, 2025

The Sisterhood of Support

Introducing Nourish

A women’s retreat where you are safe to be fully yourself—and fully supported.

Step into a week of deep connection, restoration, and sisterhood that will nourish your heart for years to come.

Join Sandra Vanatko for an intimate and sacred women-only retreat held at Blue Spirit Retreat Center, nestled between the healing waters of the Pacific Ocean and the vibrant Costa Rican jungle. This is a rare opportunity to step away from the noise of daily life and into a circle of care, reflection, and deep nourishment.

Picture this:

Coffee in hand as the sun rises over the beach. No makeup, no pressure—just the soothing sounds of the ocean and the warmth of women gathering. Wisdom is shared, laughter flows, and your soul, body, and mind are fed with intention. Then, it’s off to morning yoga, meditation, and spacious time just for you.

This is your invitation to reset, reconnect, and remember:

You were never meant to do it all alone.
Let this be your circle.
Let this be your community.

Women are wired to thrive in support of one another.

What Awaits you

Each day begins with yoga and meditation to help you attune to your deeper nature. From this rooted place, you’ll explore:

  • Somatic practices that help you listen to your body and honor your limits
  • Tools to care for your nervous system and understand your co-regulators and dis-regulators
  • Nutritional wisdom and hormone-friendly practices to support sleep, energy, and mood
  • The art of self-care and sustainable rituals for your wellbeing
  • Insightful discussions and heartfelt sharing in a circle of wise women
  • Spaciousness for rest, reflection, journaling, and simply being

This week is about reclaiming your right to feel good in your own body. To nourish yourself the way you might care for a beloved friend or animal companion—with kindness, presence, and gentleness.

Supported by the healing environment of Blue Spirit—with world-class treatments, nourishing cuisine, and natural beauty—this retreat will leave you feeling renewed, supported, and deeply seen.

This is a small, intimate retreat for women only.

Spots are limited and will fill quickly. Reserve your space early to join us.
