The Critical Ritual Initiation
Monteverde, Costa Rica • November 2-8
Some thresholds can only be crossed in the wild!
I see you sister. You've done the work. The circles, the somatic sessions — the deep healing. You've gotten so close. And still. Something hasn't fully been claimed yet. Not in your soul.
There is a difference between knowing you carry medicine and being initiated into it.
That's why I’m calling you to the cloud forest — one of the most biologically sacred places on Earth. Because this mist covered canopy rich in biodiversity . . . it’s where you remember your vastness.
You've been circling the threshold. The jungle is your crossing.
Are you ready to do it together?

The Retreat Space
Perched in the mountains of Costa Rica's Tilarán range (Cordillera de Tillaran), the cloud forest of Monteverde is truly heaven on earth.
Arrive from San Jose to our very own private villa sanctuary. This dreamy property is adjacent and walking distance to Nora’s favorite reserve and surrounded by beautiful gardens and ancient trees. This means our home is a transit corridor for so many of the mammals and birds that call the selva their home.
This villa is the perfect combination of privacy and union, since all the rooms are separate but the social areas will be our ceremonial and gathering spaces.
Walking distance to a bakery and local coffee shop, we will be quietly removed but also centrally located to resources.

Our Promise
You will not leave this week the same woman who arrived.
Not because something will be added to you — but because the forest has a way of stripping away everything that was never yours to begin with. The roles. The stories. The quiet, persistent feeling that you're almost ready, almost there, almost enough.
The Initiation is a pivot point. By the time you cross back over the threshold at the end of this week, you will have named your medicine out loud in ceremony. You will have moved through your body in ways that reach places our English language can't. You will have sat with plant teachers older than anything you've encountered in a studio or a circle. And you will carry home a handcrafted botanical medicine — made by your own hands, from the plants of this land — as a living reminder of what happened here.
Our promise is this: you will leave Monteverde not as the woman who arrived — but as one who has been met by the forest, initiated by the plants, connected with lifelong spirit sisters, and rooted in the unshakeable knowing of what you are here to carry and give.
