MEET YOUR FACILITATORS

Designed to transform more than your body

We've been given this one short adventure of life and yet so often we miss it stuck in wounds of the past, worrying about the future and spinning stories that separate us from ourselves and the world around us. What does it take to be fully awake for it? To feel it all? To lean into the crashing wave of the moment and let it take us where we're meant to go?

Often the parameters of our daily lives keep us on auto pilot. Confined by obligations and roles to fill, we're not left with space to pursue our own healing, authenticity and embodied purpose.

This container is a collection of invitations designed to pull you out of the daily grind and draw you into deeper relationship with yourself. The vehicles we take to reach these depths are ancient activation rituals including Breathwork, Temazcal, Astrology and Somatic Movement.

These sacred tools are alchemical in nature. They often emit powerful releases and stimulate potent change in our lives. When we use them collectively, the shifts can be even more profound. Equally intentional restoration and nourishment are woven into foundation of this experience. This retreat is designed to allow space for both the work and rest in the stunning foothills of Costa Rica's Mt. Chirripó.

From the moment you touch down on 800 acres of pure life pulsing beneath you, to the last lingering Savasana, you will be held. You will be gently guided and fully supported as you meet yourself where you are so that you may become all that you are here to be.

REFLECTIONS FROM PAST ATTENDEES

By a total random happenstance, I was given this retreat by someone close to me that was unable to attend. I was a middle aged man that had never traveled alone, heading to Costa Rica to live in a tent and spend a week with total strangers, mostly women, in an environment of which I was completely unfamiliar. My insecurities were inflamed and my sensitivities firing.

Then I got there.

It is hard to express the gratitude that I feel toward Whitney, Kelly, and Kelly. They created an environment that allowed me to feel safe, open, and most importantly, allowed me to just be me. The people I experienced this with became a family and ideologies, socio-economic and cultural differences became irrelevant. We became fellow travelers on a journey of self exploration. I have never felt more open, more free, more me, in my life. It is amazing that by the end of the week, this group of strangers knew me better than people with whom I have spent my entire life.

I began this experience with my life in shambles. A broken marriage, on the edge of financial ruin, and fear for my children’s future had me paralyzed. This retreat: these people: helped me find the courage to act and begin putting my life back together again.

I am forever grateful to the Sojourn crew for helping me find the trailhead and sending me on this path of hope and new beginnings. I love you more than you will ever know and I thank you with everything that I am and everything I intend to be.

— Gary

Costa Rica was a dream. It was absolutely everything I needed and more. The location, the weather, the space, the food, and facilitators were all PERFECT. The space was clean and safe. All of the practices and healing modalities truly get you into your body and out of your head for full transformational healing. Yoga, breathwork, meditation, sound healing, ceremonies, journaling.

This retreat helped me remember my purpose in this life and who I want to be and feel everyday. I have learned, grown, and healed so much even within a weeks time. I will carry these tools and memories with me for a lifetime and beyond. With love and gratitude, thank you for creating a space like this for me to heal and transcend.

I booked this retreat on a whim and truly didn't know what to expect. I am not someone who likes being open about my experiences in a group setting and tend to be quite an introvert. That being said, this experience gave me a profound sense to healing and community. We bonded in ways I couldn't imagine and I've met lifelong friends and chosen family. The healing container was profound and I would do it again and again. I haven't felt this centered or whole in a very long time and I cannot thank this experience enough.

From a physical perspective, relating to yoga...We are always considerate of all levels and abilities when formatting classes, offering modifications or options for beginners and also options that advanced students can try if they want to deepen their practice.
Energetically and emotionally...This is a deep, transformational retreat where we will be exploring shadows, wounds, traumas, etc. We ask that you have experience working in transformational spaces and feel safe working with stuck emotions, energies etc. Although we will be there holding space and will have a lot of space for processing, it is important that you also have experience holding yourself with challenging emotions.
Our priority is always the health and safety of the group. If there are any shutdowns or dangers that affect our ability to travel, this retreat will be postponed until it is safe.
Once you pay your deposit and sign the agreement, you commit to the changes that Sojourn needs to make to ensure the safety of the group.
