COSTA RICA APRIL 2024

Immersed in the lush jungles of Costa Rica April 25-30, 2024 (retreat at capacity)

This five night retreat is all about HEALING & INTUITION. The untamed majesty of Costa Rica is an incredible place to connect with nature and absorb and mingle with the life-power surging through the flora and fauna. The retreat is certainly for doulas and those caring for the dying but others may be able to join as well-- tell me your story!

You will be well taken care of on this retreat but will also have plenty of space to wander, swim, dream and meditate. The Costa Rican people are welcoming and kind and there is never a shortage of fresh fruit! My husband Pablo (who will be teaching with me) is a native (Chilean) Spanish speaker and will be available to translate should you need assistance.

About Us

About Anne-Marie

For decades Anne-Marie studied shadow work to clear the path toward a stronger intuition. She is a certified facilitator in the Buddhist “Feeding Your Demons” (practice which severs ties to that which does not serve you) and is a Reiki Master Teacher. She holds a certification as a funeral celebrant and in ceremony from the Celebrant Foundation. She consults with her friend and colleague Salicrow who is an author and psychic medium as an intuitive inspiration, and also studied for three months with Peggy Rometo, author and psychic medium. Her personal healing practices involve the journey of breast cancer recovery—and the magic and gifts that are available through illness, dis-ease and pain.

About Pablo

Pablo is a trilingual, licensed psychotherapist and meditation instructor. He is a MAPS certified psychedelic assisted therapist and works with ketamine as well as other mediums. He's pursuing a PhD in neuroscience and the physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of hormetic stress.
