Welcome to the vermont Women’s

Weekend Retreat!

those of us who embrace the feminine

know its strength.

~ Betsy Cornwell

The traditional lands of the Maleku people in the Northern region of Costa Rica teems with wild vegetation and a non-stop symphony of jungle songs. From the trails of leaf cutter ants crisscrossing the forest floor to the barreling sounds of howler monkeys, the nature of Costa Rica is a constant mentor. True to animist values, all of life from the smallest river stone to the omnipresent Volcano Arenal holds wisdom, perspective, and presence that can support our evolution if we take pause to expand into these connections.

Aligning with the Equinox corridor, this Immersion retreat will nourish personal growth through attunement with nature and the elements via ritual arts, community connection, and reflective practices.

During this 5 night / 5 day immersion you will have the opportunity to consciously connect to yourself supported by the lifeforce of the land of Costa Rica. We will be warmly welcomed by the wonderful staff at Brave Earth, a “living lab” whose prayer (rather than mission statement) is: “to create an imprint of lived possibility in solidarity with all Life, in dialogue with the living planet, and in service to the collective transition.” The ethics of Brave Earth including regeneration, resiliency, and reciprocity mirrors the underlying theme of this immersion and is the perfect environment for the Equinox Pause.
