Women's transformation retreats in Costa Rica
Six nights in Costa Rica to step out of your everyday life, reconnect with yourself and get clear on what you truly want next.
A week to come back to yourself
Maybe you have been going through the motions for a while.
Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself, unsure what you actually want, or like you have been postponing the life you know you want to live.
Maybe you are starting over after a relationship, changing direction in your career, moving somewhere new, or simply feeling that the version of your life that once worked does not fit anymore.
You do not need to arrive with a big problem to solve.
High on Life is a space to step away from your normal environment, slow everything down and come back to yourself.
To remember what makes you feel alive. To get clear on what you want. And to give yourself the courage to actually choose it.
You do not need to arrive with everything figured out. You just need to be willing to show up for yourself.
From our first retreat
The signature experience
Every part of the retreat has a purpose. Not to keep you busy, but to help you come back into your body, hear yourself clearly and practise becoming the woman who lives what comes next.
Moving and breathing to ground, soften and come back into your body before the day begins.
Guided meditation, journalling and reflection to see what you are leaving behind and what you actually want next.
Three guided sessions to practise courage, presence, trust, play and trying again without needing to be good at it.
Cacao, voice and ecstatic dance evenings where we move beyond thinking and give expression to what has been waiting underneath.
Fresh meals prepared by our private chef, shared around one table with nowhere else you need to be.
Hot afternoons left open for the pool, journalling, rest, massage, conversation or whatever your body is asking for.

A day at High on Life
There is a rhythm to the week, but not a minute-by-minute schedule designed to exhaust you.
Yoga, meditation, breathwork, breakfast and the theme for the day.
Surf on the days we are scheduled to go, while the Pacific is still at its best.
Lunch, pool, journalling, massage, friendship, rest and time that belongs to you.
Clarity work, ceremony on selected evenings, dinner and time to let the day land.
2027 season
Each date is the same signature High on Life experience in Uvita. The group changes. The core experience stays the same.
Where we stay
A private villa in the hills above Uvita, surrounded by jungle with the Pacific stretching out below.
The practice space matters. We have a dedicated open-air shala away from bedrooms and kitchen traffic, so when we step into practice, we actually step into it.
Beyond what's included
The villa, the food, the yoga and the surfing are part of the experience. What matters most is what you carry home.
A real pause from the mental noise so you can be present enough to hear yourself again.
Space to reconnect with what you truly want and stop postponing the decision underneath it.
Back into your body, your intuition and the parts of you everyday life can drown out.
Built through doing things that ask something of you, then discovering you can meet them.
Shared meals, laughter, vulnerability and the kind of friendships that can keep going long after the week ends.
Practices, decisions and new perspectives that belong in your real life, not only in Costa Rica.
Words from past guests
I did not expect to have such a life-changing experience beyond yoga and surfing. It helped me come out of my comfort zone and be myself without limitation, and it brought out a version of me I thought I did not have.Chloe
During this retreat I was able to reconnect with parts of me that had been under the surface for a while. Being with women from all over the world, experiencing different cultures, new ideas, real human connection. It is something I had been longing for.Deema
This retreat broke me open in ways that made me reconsider my life. I made sisters for life. I got to connect in a way I would not have before and felt like I was in the right place at the right time.Arielle
Your host
I'm from France, and I'm building my life here on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.
Six years ago I was studying maths and physics, looking at the path ahead of me and knowing it was not the life I wanted. I left without having the next chapter figured out.
Since then I have travelled, started over more than once, lost myself, found myself again, trained as a yoga teacher and kept learning what it means to actually listen to myself.
The biggest shifts did not come from changing the outside of my life. They came from coming back to myself and having the courage to choose what I found there.
That is what High on Life is built around. During the week I am there with you, practising, surfing, eating, laughing, dancing and holding the clarity work that ties it all together.
Your next chapter
Come spend six nights with us in Costa Rica. A small circle, a beautiful place, space to go inward and space to feel fully alive.
