THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF…
You’re a woman who holds a lot — work, family, life — and you’re ready to come back to yourself. This retreat may be for you if you:
• are an entrepreneur or high-achiever craving real rest
• are celebrating a birthday, new chapter, wedding season, postpartum, post-divorce, or personal reset
• want confidence that feels natural, not performed
• are drawn to nature, beauty, movement, and meaningful experiences
• simply want to experience Costa Rica in an intentional, beautiful way and leave with photos that reflect how radiant you areThis can be a gentle reset or a meaningful gift to yourself.

A pause. A celebration. Memories you’ll carry with you.If you’re looking for something loud, party-focused, or high-intensity, this may not be the right fit — and that’s okay.

This retreat is for women who value depth, ease, beauty, and presence.
THE HEART OF THIS RETREAT
This retreat isn’t about fixing yourself or going deep into your past.
It’s about coming home to who you are now.

Through gentle yoga, breath, time in nature, and being seen with care, you’re invited to soften — to let go of effort, roles, and expectations, even just for a few days.
Some women come for rest.
Some simply want to feel beautiful and present again.

There’s no pressure to share, no need to perform, and no expectation to “transform.”And yet — something often shifts.

This is light inner work, held gently.
The kind that stays with you long after you leave.
WHAT YOU’LL LEAVE WITH
You won’t leave as a “new person.”
You’ll leave more connected to who you already are.

You will leave with:
• a calmer nervous system and a body that feels like home again
• a small circle of women who truly get it
• a private boudoir gallery that reflects your beauty with honesty and care
• beautiful photographs that hold the memory of this time
• fine-art keepsakes you’ll want to keep for years
• a softer relationship with your body and presence
• rest that lingers beyond the retreat
• a quiet reminder of how it feels to choose yourself

Nothing forced. Nothing rushed.
Just something that stays with you.

YOUR BOUDOIR SESSION
Private, respectful, and guided with care
If the idea of boudoir feels a little intimidating, you’re exactly who this is for.

• You’re guided gently — no posing experience needed
• Everything happens at your pace, with clear consent and boundaries
• Your privacy is fully respected; nothing is shared without your explicit permission
• The focus isn’t on becoming someone else — it’s on seeing yourself, softly and honestly
This is not about performing.It’s about feeling safe enough to relax — and letting your natural presence shine.
WHO’S HOSTING
I´m Margaret — a photographer, mother, and storyteller based in Costa Rica. I created this retreat for women who appear successful on the outside, yet crave something deeper within — a space to slow down, soften, and reconnect with themselves.

Originally from Poland and trained in fine-art photography in Norway, my journey led me to Guanacaste, where I now live surrounded by ocean light and jungle air.

For over ten years, I’ve worked with women around the world during times of transition, holding space with care and presence.My work blends fine-art photography, somatic awareness, yoga, and breathwork.

I don’t believe in fixing or forcing — only in creating a safe, gentle space where you can be fully yourself.

It’s about how you feel when you return home — to your body, your life, and yourself.
