The Surrender Retreat
What’s the cost of another year of holding it all together?
You already know where this road leads. The Surrender Retreat is your permission to finally let go. One week in Costa Rica to stop gripping, stop proving, and remember who you are when you’re not performing for everyone else. Here are the optional workshops Karen will be offering this week:
The Gratitude & Abundance Ritual
A Ceremony of Presence and Gratitude
You’ve spent so long focused on what’s missing that you’ve stopped seeing what’s here.
This ceremony interrupts the pattern. We clear the space with sage and palo santo, creating a container where presence becomes possible. You’ll receive a candle, incense bundle, and gratitude stone as physical anchors for the practice.
Through guided reflection, we reconnect with the small things that are actually the big things. Research confirms what wisdom traditions have known for centuries: gratitude rewires the brain, builds resilience, and shifts our relationship with enough.
When we gather to give thanks, something opens.
This workshop is 1 hour and the price is $45 (or $120 for all three workshops).
The Release Fire Ritual
Burning Away What No Longer Serves
You know what’s been weighing you down. The belief that keeps you small. The relationship that takes more than it gives. The story you’ve outgrown but can’t seem to put down.
This fire ceremony gives you permission to let it burn.
We gather at sunset to name what we’re ready to release: patterns, people, versions of ourselves that no longer fit. With intention and witness, we offer them to the flames. This isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about choosing what comes with you into the next chapter.
This workshop is 1 hour and the price is $45 (or $120 for all three workshops).
Heart Medicine Cacao Ceremony
Cacao, Movement, and Coming Home to Your Body
Costa Rica’s indigenous communities called cacao the medicine of the gods. We begin with ceremonial-grade chocolate from the women of the Bribri tribe, prepared with prayer and intention.
As the medicine opens your heart, Karen guides a meditation to anchor your intention. Then the music starts and your body takes over.
Ecstatic dance isn’t choreography. It’s permission. Permission to move without judgment, to feel without filtering, to let something true come through. Live music carries you from stillness to full expression and back again. We close in deep rest, letting everything integrate.
This workshop is 2 hours and the price is $60 (or $120 for all three workshops).
