Testimonials for this retreat:
​
“The first evening yoga was in a gorgeous hall at dusk, as the sun went down in the darkness, savassana … awakening to the sparkling lights of San Jose. Breathtaking. A beautiful beginning.”
-LE
“My body made changes—my posture is different, my core more engaged, my bodily experiences are more integrated with my thoughts … It’s a mystery to me but a wonderful one.”
-Dawn Balcazar, PhD
The retreat takes place at Pura Vida Spa, a mountaintop oasis of beauty and tranquility in Costa Rica.
​
Join us for this week-long retreat where you will explore your internal system with the practices of Somatic IFS. Through guided exercises, journaling, live demonstrations and small group experiences you will listen to your parts through sensations, movements and touch. Your experience of Embodied Self will transform your personal and professional life.
​
There will be ample time to enhance and integrate these explorations with a variety of optional experiences—exceptional bodywork and spa treatments, yoga classes, and a choice of eco-adventures to explore whitewater rivers, waterfalls, active volcanoes, hot springs, and abundant wildlife.

What other participants have said about this retreat...​
“The bodywork and opportunities for yoga and getting out to explore in our excursions were wonderful and allowed everything to sink in in a truly magical way. I can’t wait to return.”
-Participant
“I have been deeply touched by how honoring Beth and Susan have been. I have felt completely supported and cared for from Day One.”
“Susan creates a sacred container for our embodied learning that allows me to be in Self energy—it is in my spiritual as well as “somatic” memory.”
-Participant
“I am returning with a renewed sense of my own strength, a new awareness of ways in which I diminish my strength and a much stronger sense of my own light and the Source.”
