to Your Soul Retreat

6 Days of Sacred Transformation in the Costa Rica Jungle

March 2027|Limited Availability

The Invitation

You've been the strong one. The one who holds it all together. The one who shows up, achieves, gives — and somewhere along the way, lost herself. The exhaustion you feel isn't just in your body. It's in your spirit. It's the quiet ache of a soul asking to come home.

ARISE is for the moment you decide to listen.

This Isn't Just a Retreat

It's a Remembering

You come for grief. You stay for your best life. This is the call your soul has been waiting for — six days in the Costa Rican cloud forest to reclaim your joy, your power, and your clarity.

The Four Pillars

What Makes This Different

It Works in the Body

Most grief support is cognitive. Njeri's work is somatic. Her clients don't just understand their grief differently — they feel and look different. A literal transformation.

It Names What Has No Name

Njeri works with identity grief — the loss of who you thought you were, the life you thought you'd have, and the timeline you were promised.

It Goes to the Root

While many are taught to soothe symptoms, Njeri heals roots. Therapists report visible, measurable change — often achieving in two sessions what years of therapy could not.

It Creates Sisterhood

An intimate circle of women who are deeply held and fully witnessed. By day two, there are no strangers — only sisters. Spaces are intentionally limited to preserve the depth of the experience.

The Sanctuary

Fairytale Forest Land

Cartago Province, Costa Rica

Home to coatis, agoutis, deer, wild pigs, kinkajous, and over 20 species of hummingbirds. With access to miles of hiking paths, guided waterfall tours, and two small bridges winding through the forest.

In Their Words

Walked This Path

I was in a cradle position at the start. Now I feel like roaring like a lioness — get out of my way! I know who I am now.
Veronica W.
Getting confirmation I'd been handling my son's death appropriately — that was everything.
Cheryl W.
I felt like I gave birth to myself. The level of safety and vulnerability I felt — I haven't felt that so often.
Samantha M.
After just two sessions with Njeri — I can tell the difference. The body just goes through a transformation.
Nikita T.
You put a name to things I could feel but never had words for. This is not surface level work.
Angel S.
Learning how to tune in and pay attention to myself has been a wonderful thing. I'm looking forward to the growth that's ahead.
Betty H.
They weren't sadness tears — I would call them peaceful tears.
Lanée P.
I'm not settling. I'm choosing major life over minor life now.
Lawrence
