Home › Retreats › Women's Emotional Reset Therapy Retreat in Costa Rica's Blue Zone
Costa Rica · 5 days · From USD 3018
Each day of this 5-day retreat is intentionally structured to balance emotional work with rest and adventure. Mornings are dedicated to guided group therapy sessions with Dr. Astrid, focusing on emotional awareness, self-understanding, and reconnecting with yourself. Afternoons are your choice—you could take a surf lesson, go on a guided jungle walk, enjoy a spa treatment, or just have quiet time on the beach. Evenings are intentionally left open for rest, journaling, or having dinner in town.
What makes this retreat different is the clinical grounding. Dr. Astrid is a licensed psychologist, not a life coach or wellness guru. She's trained in the Gottman Method Level III and has worked with expat communities across Southeast Asia and Latin America. The therapeutic work is real and structured, but delivered with warmth and approachability. Guests consistently mention feeling safe to be vulnerable and that the sessions lead to tangible tools for communication and understanding.
The setting is a key part of the experience. Nosara is in Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world's Blue Zones, known for longevity and healthy living. The town is intentionally low-key, with no big resorts or cruise crowds. Instead, you're surrounded by protected jungle, wildlife like scarlet macaws and howler monkeys, and a village with boutique cafes and a relaxed surf vibe. It's a backdrop that encourages slowing down and reflection.
The retreat includes 3 hours of guided group psychological work per day, plus one curated wellness or adventure experience daily. Pre-retreat assessment and preparation, airport pickup and drop-off, accommodation, and some meals are all included. The retreat is limited to just 5-8 women, ensuring each participant gets personalized attention. You'll leave with practical strategies for emotional regulation, boundaries, communication, and integrating your insights into daily life.
