Welcome
to Your Transformation

Experience the ultimate all-inclusive journey of healing and renewal at The Light Within Retreat, nestled in the lush heart of Costa Rica. This retreat offers you the chance to reconnect with your inner light, release emotional burdens, and embrace joy, peace, and purpose.

This retreat is for you if your feeling:

  • Burnt Out and Overwhelmed – has life taken all you have to give and your on empty? Feeling like you don’t have anything left.
  • Feeling Like You Have  Lost Yourself – you don’t even recognize yourself anymore. The dreams you once had feel like a distant memory. The things that used to bring you joy now feel dull. You keep going through the motions, but deep down, you feel so lost.
  • Stuck in Old Patterns and Beliefs – are you doing the same thing everyday and getting the same results that aren’t working. Are your relationships paying the price?  Are you just checking in and out of work? Or have you gotten to the point you just can’t go to work anymore?


A Sanctuary
for Those Ready to Rise

The Light Within Solution: This retreat isn’t about escaping—it’s about coming home to yourself. Through deep soul work, connection, and realignment with your true desires, you’ll rediscover what truly lights you up and step into a life that feels deeply fulfilling—not just successful on paper.


At this retreat, you don’t have to be strong for anyone else. This is your space to fully surrender, be held, and receive. We’ll guide you through experiences that soften your edges, release the tension in your body, and reconnect you to ease and flow.


This retreat is a sacred reset—a chance to strip away the noise, reconnect with your inner light, and remember who you were before the world told you who to be. Through intuitive practices, soul-healing sessions, and immersive nature experiences, you’ll reclaim your magic, your truth, and your joy.
