Retreat details

We invite you to take some time with your Self, your parts and community at this mountaintop, paradise location. Experience transformative potential for your personal and professional life. You will have the opportunity to participate in full-group experiential exercises, lively discussions, and small group work.
This retreat is planned for Jewish women – those IFS trained and those who have experienced an IFS retreat or an IFS experiential program. Our Thursday-to-Wednesday dates allow us to settle in comfortably before Shabbat, and the program schedule accommodates Shabbat observance.
You will be spiritually nourished by the lush garden and amazing bird songs. The beautiful surroundings, the saltwater pool, and the hot tub enhance the retreat. The optional world-class bodywork sessions and a choice of eco-adventures further support your experience. Monday morning is set aside for an optional eco-excursion to the La Paz Waterfall Garden. We will have free time after lunch daily and have most evenings free. You are welcome to bring a non-participating guest.
The included three daily meals are not kosher but kosher food is available through the local Chabad Kosher Center. There is also a nearby grocery store with some US kosher products. Fresh fruit and vegetables are available from Pura Vida’s kitchen. All meals included have vegetarian options - lunch and dinner also serve fish or chicken. No red meat and shellfish are served.
