in the sacred blue zone of Nosara Costa Rica
Monique and Sheana welcome you to join them for an unforgettable 6-night (7 day) retreat at Casas Kismet, a stunning boutique retreat center overlooking the Pacific Ocean in peaceful Playa Pelada. We trust that you will experience the deep healing and nourishment of this precious land, which continues to attract people on the path of healing and awakening consciousness.
A Heart-Opening Women’s Yoga Retreat invites you to reconnect with your truest essence — the divine, radiant woman within. Nestled in the lush beauty of Nosara, Costa Rica, this sacred gathering is a call to slow down, tune into your heart, and awaken the feminine wisdom that lives inside you.
Through heart-centered yoga, meditation, and psycho-spiritual inquiry, we’ll explore the layers of self with curiosity and compassion. Together, we’ll activate and balance the heart meridian — the energetic pathway that governs love, joy, and emotional connection — to release blocks and cultivate a deeper flow of self-love and openness. In sacred sisterhood, we’ll hold space for one another’s growth, healing, and transformation.
This retreat also includes transformational experiences led by local facilitators, including a cacao ceremony to open the heart and sound healing journeys to integrate and embody our work. Whether you’re seeking renewal, connection, or deeper alignment with your feminine essence, Return to Her offers a nurturing space to realign with your authentic self and the sacred rhythms of life.
There will be ample time to relax, enjoy our private salt water pool and local beach, surf, explore the beautiful shops in Nosara or take an adventure tour.
Return home to yourself.
