Reclaim your body and soul.
A breast cancer diagnosis and treatment take a toll on your body, your energy, your sense of self, and your plans for the future.
We’ve created a restorative outdoor experience in the rainforests and mountains of Costa Rica designed specifically for women living beyond a breast cancer diagnosis.
We’ll combine outdoor movement, daily mindfulness, and adventure with a deep community connection with other women who know what it means to have experienced cancer.

Along the way, we’ll stretch our legs at the historic Ujarrás Ruins before arriving at our home for the week: the breathtaking Casa Turire Hotel. After settling into your colonial-style room, we’ll gather for a fresh, farm-to-table welcome dinner made with local ingredients grown right on the property, followed by a gentle sunset stroll down to the shores of Lake Angostura.

Today is a choose-your-own-adventure morning: take a guided e-bike ride through the rolling green hills, or enjoy a restful morning at the hotel with a spa treatment, a poolside massage, or a quiet walk through the botanical gardens. In the afternoon, we’ll come together for a hands-on local cooking class, then share another memorable family-style dinner.
