Rebalance & Rebuild
“I created this retreat because I refuse to walk blindly into one of the most profound transitions of my life, and I don’t want you to either. Although I’m not there yet, I know this shift is inevitable—likely in the next five years—and I want to be prepared. Menopause is not something to endure in silence; it’s a rite of passage, a transition as significant as any other in a woman’s life. Just as we honor the shift from maiden to mother, we must also embrace the journey from mother to crone—a phase of wisdom, strength, and deep self-knowing. This retreat is about reclaiming that journey, nourishing our bodies, understanding the changes, and stepping forward with clarity, confidence, and reverence.”

What types of accommodations are available?
Welcome to Nicaragua—a land of raw beauty, rugged landscapes, and untamed nature. Life here is simple, rustic, and real. You’ll hear the calls of howler monkeys at dawn, see butterflies dancing in the air, and feel the warm earth beneath your feet. There will be bugs, geckos, and the occasional curious critter, but that’s part of the magic. This environment pushes you out of your comfort zone while holding you in its wild, grounding embrace. It’s a place to reconnect—to yourself, to the elements, and to the rhythm of nature.
Most accommodations offer a double bed in a private room or a shared dorm option. If you’re traveling with a friend or partner, you’re welcome to share a bed at a discounted rate.
This is an eco-conscious retreat experience. There are no air conditioners, but we have fans and bare feet are welcome. Showers are hot but we encourage short, mindful showers. Wi-Fi is available, but consider this your invitation to unplug, slow down, and fully immerse yourself in the experience.
