A New Year’s hOMecoming
A Retreat in Guanacaste, Costa Rica
January 2-9 2027
Has life pulled you off your center in ways you didn’t expect? Have you found yourself wondering how to come back to the feeling of home within, when the ground has genuinely shifted?
I understand this deeply. Even with years of practice, life still happens- and there is no way to know how our system will respond. What I’ve learned is that returning doesn’t require more. It requires space. Care. And the support of community.
I’ve created a New Year’s retreat on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica as a pause, a recalibration, and a return.
I’ve created a New Year’s retreat on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica as a pause, a recalibration, and a return. From January 2–9, 2027, you’re invited to A New Year’s hOMecoming, a week devoted to returning to your inherent ground through embodied practices, shared presence, beautiful scenery and intentional space.
This retreat isn’t about becoming something new. It’s about releasing what’s unnecessary so you can begin the year grounded, clear, and at ease.
Imagine waking without urgency.
Movement arising from breath rather than instruction.
Silence that doesn’t feel empty, but complete. Days unfold without agenda. There is time to sit, to walk, to wander between moments without needing to improve or name them. The body remembers how to soften. The nervous system begins to trust the rhythm again.
There is warmth, water, and a sense of being held- by nature, by place, by the people around you. Conversation happens easily, without performance. Laughter comes and goes. Long pauses feel nourishing rather than awkward. What you may usually touch briefly in practice is given room to become a lived experience.
