Somatic Practice for Soul Expression (90 min)

Learn the language of your body — and let your soul move you.

Your body holds stories, wisdom, and wild creative power. In this immersive somatic journey, you’ll deepen your connection to your physical and energetic bodies through breath, sensation, and intuitive movement.

Discover how your body speaks to you, responds to emotion, and can be a powerful ally in both challenge and celebration. We’ll weave in ecstatic dance, sound, and embodied release to free you from old patterns, awaken bold self-expression, and reignite your creative fire.

Come as you are. Move how you feel. Leave with a body that feels like home.

Price is $45 (or $110 for all three workshops)

 

Wild Heart Ceremony: A Sacred Journey with Costa Rican Cacao (90 min)

Open your heart, awaken your senses, and remember your wild truth.

This heart-centered ritual blends the sacred wisdom of locally grown, ceremonial-grade cacao with breathwork, visualization, and soulful movement. Cacao is more than a drink – it’s a gentle teacher that opens the emotional body, deepens authentic connection, and helps you listen inward.

You’ll be guided through a sacred opening and offered space for movement, journaling, or stillness. We’ll close with integration practices so this connection lives on long after the ceremony.

This is not just a ceremony… it’s a homecoming to yourself.

Price is $45 (or $110 for all three workshops)

 

Creating with Intention: Crystal Totem Jewelry (90 min)

A creative ritual to carry your transformation forward.

Choose stones and crystals that speak to your journey, then create a unique piece of jewelry infused with your intentions. As you design, you’ll weave your growth, insights, and wisdom into every bead and thread.

More than a keepsake, this talisman will serve as a daily reminder of your embodied freedom and creativity. Includes reflection time and integration tools to help you bring your retreat experiences into your life at home.

All materials provided.

Price $50 (or $110 for all three workshops)

 

Horse Spirit Meditation: Remembering the Wild Within

A sacred encounter with a free-living herd of healing horses.
(Offsite experience)

A rare and sacred encounter with a free-living herd of healing horses.

In the stillness of the jungle, you’ll meet a herd of sentient, sovereign beings who live in complete presence. Through meditation, somatic awareness, and intuitive movement, connect heart-to-heart with these ancient teachers.

Every session is unique – sometimes still and reverent, sometimes playful and emotionally charged. Always an invitation to remember the part of you that is wild, wise, and free.

Price TBA

Pamela Fitzgerald

Pamela is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher who found her way to yoga after a diverse and dynamic journey through the wellness world. With a background in gymnastics, dance, and horseback riding, her lifelong passion for movement and the outdoors led her into a career in wellness. She studied anatomy extensively across the U.S. and Canada, even teaching cadaver anatomy to fitness professionals, and was a strength trainer to pro athletes and post-operative patients. Pamela also became a published fitness model and bodybuilding competitor, achieving many accolades until she recognized the toll that stress, image struggles, and a disconnection from self were taking on her life.

Yoga found Pamela at this turning point, offering her a path to reconnect body, mind, and soul. Initially reluctant, she soon immersed herself in its philosophy, finding peace and renewal in practices that deepened her understanding of the body’s stress responses. Today, she brings this profound journey to her students, guiding them toward self-love, self-discovery, and a mindful way of being.

Pamela now teaches yoga full-time, leading retreats across Canada, Costa Rica, and the U.S., often incorporating her beloved horse, Honeycomb, to create heart-centered experiences in nature. Her mission is to help students feel “at home” in their bodies, encouraging free expression, groundedness, and a deep connection to the present. Pamela’s teachings focus on bringing yoga’s beauty and wisdom into daily life, supporting a balanced, joyful approach to living fully and authentically.

“Anamaya is the best and most beautiful place to rejuvenate! I had the most amazing week. I cannot recommend Anamaya enough. I went as a solo traveler and had the best time. The food was incredible. I was blown away by how delicious, fresh, healthy and clean it all was. The whole week was a great balance of group activities plus time for solo adventures. This trip was the perfect was to disconnect, relax and rejuvenate.” – Eden
