A 5-Day Initiation for the Wise Woman, Anchored in the Comprehensive Map of Feminine Life Cycles.
What if the complete map to your feminine evolution was already within you, waiting to be revealed?
What if navigating life and manifesting your visions could be guided by a clear roadmap?
The ‘Woman’ retreat offers a powerful leap forward for women ready to commit, unleash their spirit, and connect with the true essence of their being. It’s an invitation to awaken the wild, wise, and boundless woman within you.
She will be your next true love!
Together, we will explore the archetypes that define the different phases of womanhood, each representing a certain fragrance of our wholeness.
These archetypes align with the female cycles of life, hormonal shifts, and the phases of the moon. We will craft an inner compass to guide you toward a renewed vision of yourself, grounded in the wisdom this map provides.
The ‘Woman’ retreat merges ancient wisdom and rituals with contemporary practices gathered over 25 years by Tanmaya and Umina, who have devoted their lives to uncovering sacred feminine treasures.
Tanmaya and Umina envision a new consciousness for women, shaped by embracing new ‘codes of design’ for our being. By welcoming love, freedom, and pleasure, we can embody a new paradigm.
They believe every woman has a birthright to rise into her fullest expression, living a life of meaning, joy, and purpose.
For over two decades, Umina and Tanmaya have journeyed through motherhood, intimate relationships, feminine wellness, spiritual devotion, and shamanism. Living in Costa Rica for many years, they have had the privilege of learning from elder native medicine women and men. This retreat offers their profound wisdom and lived experience.
Over five days, we will decode and explore the map of women’s health, presenting four core feminine archetypes with various elements.
This map reflects our inner landscapes as women. By understanding the strengths and shadows within each archetype, we’ll create a tangible navigation system for your personal journey.
This is an invitation to rise into the fullest expression of your sacred feminine self.
The different pieces of the retreat’s puzzle
This work invites you to engage in transformative practices, enabling you to confront and release deep-seated fears. Through guided breathwork sessions and deep inquiry, we will encourage you to access and process suppressed emotions, fostering a profound connection with your inner self.
This shadow work provides a powerful opportunity to take a bold leap beyond your limitations, embracing a renewed sense of self-awareness and empowerment.
Exploring meaningful ways in which we can navigate the different phases of our lives through a deeper understanding of our hormones, energy, sexuality, elements, and archetypes. This learning process empowers us to embrace our natural phases, enhancing our self-awareness and promoting a sense of balance and harmony in our lives. By fostering this connection, we can better understand the unique rhythms that shape our experiences, ultimately leading to greater well-being and a sense of peace within ourselves.
By reconnecting with our bodies, we learn to listen to their wisdom, allowing us to process emotions, release tension, and gain insights into our experiences. Every day, we will ground, release, expand, and purify through various sessions of yoga and dance. This creates a safe and supportive environment that encourages vulnerability and authentic expression. We will embrace the natural flow of empowerment, enthusiasm, and clear perspective, cultivating a greater sense of balance and acceptance, helping us integrate our life experiences through a loving presence.
Belonging ourselves within a circle—sometimes leading, other times being led, witnessing and being witnessed—is the way women embody transformation.
It takes a great deal of courage. Courage is what we will gather together, to hold and participate in a sacred circle work.
We will create a space for our feminine sensual experience by cultivating a deep sense of presence and relaxation within ourselves. By consciously opening our hearts and soothing our nervous systems, we enhance our awareness of how energy moves through our senses. The intention is to embrace pleasure in all its forms, enriching our daily experiences. Through this process, we become more attuned to the beauty around us, celebrating goodness and expanding into a more radiant sense of love and gratitude.
We will open the portals to greater beauty and spiritual depth through various rituals and ceremonies, such as the sweat lodge, cacao ceremony, and Blue Lotus Temple. These sacred practices offer profound opportunities for inner expansion and connection with our spirit. Each ritual creates a tapestry of sacred experiences that nurture our souls, helping us align with our true essence and embrace the spiritual dimensions of our journey.
Nourishment is the cornerstone of our healing, balancing, and empowerment throughout the retreat. By focusing on holistic nourishment, we address our needs on all levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual. From our vibrant superfood meals to the practices that feed our spirit, we ensure you receive the essential nutrients to thrive. You’ll not only feel the benefits during the retreat but will also be inspired to continue these nourishing habits back home, embracing a lifestyle that supports your hormonal changes and personal growth.

The Woman Retreat welcomes individual females of all sexual orientations and relationship statuses. It is designed to support women who feel the longing to step into their wise stage of life—women who wish to commit to their purpose, navigate the premenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal years, and seek a new, sustainable inner balance. This retreat is for women ready to explore and express their wisdom and gifts, who sense that more is possible in life, and who are eager to connect with other ladies in a supportive circle. Women who are curious adventurers and are ready to invite more pleasure and flow into their lives will find a welcoming space here.
At the end of this retreat, based on the experience of many women who came before you, your understanding of and relationship to the wise woman archetype within you—as well as your clarity on how to navigate the next steps of your life—will be clearer, deeper, wider, reformed, and/or reconnected. The retreat will support you in developing your capacity to embrace more pleasure in all its forms and use it as a guide to manifesting your purpose. You will feel more confident and at home within yourself, gaining a significant dose of self-love and self-compassion.
There will be group sessions in the mornings, most afternoons and evenings. The offerings will include small groups, larger sharing circles, a series of written and verbal inquiries to track your patterns, a few educational sessions, movement and dancing, individual and group rituals, ceremonies and meditations.
Please know you will be welcomed, supported and held in your authentic truth throughout the retreat. We ask that you attend all the sessions unless there is a valid reason you are unable to join a session. The choice to join this journey is a commitment to the process. This is not a retreat where you can pick and choose which sessions you would like to join. The reason for this is that the process is a sequential journey and missing one part may affect your capacity to continue. You are, of course, supported to take care of your own needs. All rituals and practices are an invitation for you and at all times, you are free to find your own way and pace to answer this invitation.
There is free WiFi in all accommodations and the restaurant space. However, we lovingly encourage you to be offline as much as possible throughout the retreat, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience, enjoy the surrounding nature, and take time to ground and rest between group sessions.
If you booked a retreat and choose to cancel 6 weeks or less before the retreat begins, the full deposit of $500 is non-refundable.
If you booked a retreat and choose to cancel after December 18th, you will receive a 50% refund of your investment.
If you booked a retreat and choose to cancel after January 4th, the full amount is non-refundable.
You will be entitled to a full refund if, as the organizers, we decide to cancel the retreat for any reason.
In all cases of retreat cancellation, the organizers are not responsible for — and will not refund — any additional costs such as flights or accommodation you may have booked prior to or following the retreat. We recommend having your own cancellation insurance to cover these expenses.
SEE YOU SOON
