Retreat to Heart 2027 · Montezuma, Costa Rica · May 8–15

The Journey:
Day by Day

Over eight days together, we move through a thoughtful rhythm of workshops, practices, reflection, and integration. Each day builds on the last, creating space for deeper awareness, honest becoming, and new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Day 1 Arrival
01 Day 1 · May 8

Arrival & Opening Circle

Participants arrive, settle into the retreat space, and begin slowing down from the pace of daily life.

In the evening we gather for an opening circle to set intentions and introduce the themes that will guide the week ahead. This is the beginning of something.

Day 2 Initiations
02 Day 2 · May 9

The Initiations That Shaped Us

We begin exploring the experiences, relationships, identities, and survival patterns that shaped who we learned to become.

Participants start examining the patterns that have influenced how they move through relationships, connection, and life itself.

Day 3 Nervous System
03 Day 3 · May 10

Nervous System, Survival & Attachment

This day focuses on understanding how the nervous system influences emotional responses, protection patterns, attachment, and connection.

We explore how the body can confuse familiarity with safety, and how survival responses quietly shape relational dynamics.

Day 4 Shame
04 Day 4 · May 11

Shame, Identity & Self-Worth

We turn our attention toward the stories we carry about ourselves, and the ways shame shapes identity, worthiness, and connection.

Participants begin recognizing how beliefs formed through earlier experiences can influence boundaries, relationships, and the way they move through the world.

Day 5 Boundaries
05 Day 5 · May 12

Boundaries, Discernment & Re-Initiation

With greater awareness of patterns and emotional responses, the focus shifts toward discernment, self-trust, and conscious choice.

Participants explore what it means to stop abandoning themselves and begin relating to life and relationships from a more grounded place.

Day 6 Integration
06 Day 6 · May 13

Integration & Becoming

This day creates space to reflect on what has emerged throughout the week and how these insights translate into daily life moving forward.

Participants begin exploring what it means to consciously participate in their own becoming.

Day 7 Closing Circle
07 Day 7 · May 14

Closing Circle

We gather for a closing circle to reflect on the journey of the week, honor the community created together, and acknowledge what each participant is carrying forward.

This is not an ending. It is a threshold.

Day 8 Departure
08 Day 8 · May 15
