Vida Mountain Retreats are for you, if...
You would benefit from uninterrupted time devoted to self-empowerment, writing, healing and sisterhood…
You love connecting with other women, sharing ideas, writing and sharing writing…
Perhaps you write and have a piece of work you’d like to read in our sharing circle.
Costa Rica Retreats offer participants the opportunity to meet women from around the world and build heart-centred community. Together we explore spiritual concepts from a woman’s perspective and shine a healing light on personal and collective issues. With our kindness and fire, we support each other to burst through creative blocks into freedom!

Vida Mountain Retreats provide you with the opportunity to breathe in the pristine beauty and quiet of nature. You can also enjoy the holistic spa experience, with offerings from manicures and pedicures through hair treatments and massage…or luxuriate in a salt-water infinity pool, jacuzzi, steam room and cold-plunge pool!
Envision the luxury of five days spent with a group of warm, open-hearted women, days devoted to self-empowerment, writing, healing and sharing. Days of community-building at the core level— a celebration of sisterhood!
