Women's Costa Rica Retreat
February 21st -26th, 2026
Nurturing Your Mind, Body, and Spirit
Step away from the noise of everyday life and step into the gentle rhythm of Costa Rica—
a place where the air is warm, the soul can rest, and healing begins naturally. This intimate retreat, led by Ginger Poag, LCSW, a certified EMDR therapist with thirty years of experience, is lovingly designed to support deep emotional healing and renewal. Rooted in EMDR principles, you’ll explore the power of the mind and its beautiful ability to restore balance, clarity, and peace.
In this sacred space, you’ll be held with care, compassion, and intention. Surrounded by lush landscapes and soothing comforts, you’ll have the time to reconnect with yourself, release what no longer serves you, and embrace the joy of simply being. As you soften into stillness and soak in the magic of Costa Rica, you’ll return home feeling deeply nourished—body, mind, and spirit.
