PULSE: A week-long ReWilding Retreat

Experience a week of Rewilding, embracing your True Self, and cultivating genuine connections with others amidst the breathtaking setting of Nosara, Costa Rica.

This immersion creates an opportunity for you to reclaim your life force energy and feel at ease in connecting with others. 

During this week we will collectively create a safe space to celebrate our fullness, break through the constraints of societal conditioning, nurture connection with our bodies and cultivate self-acceptance. 

This retreats allows you to engage in practices that will help you cultivate aliveness and create a new flow through dance and movement therapy, transformational breathwork and psychodynamic healing.

We will teach you how to direct this energy toward the areas of life you wish to enhance and help clear any stagnant energy from your body, mind, and soul.

We will delve into tantric practices that enrich intimacy and authentic connection, bringing us closer to the essence of this human journey. In this path, we find that freedom often emerges when we feel permission to be real, vulnerable and embrace life’s uncertainties with an open heart.

This retreat’s daily practice involves harvesting food, creating art with Earth and immersing ourselves in the flourishing flora and fauna at Tierramor. Immersed in nature our nervous system becomes regulated, enabling us to have a lived experience and cultivate awareness about what it means to live interconnected with all beings around us.

The abundant setting of Tierramor acts as a catalyst for our personal growth and amplifies the impact of all other activities we participate in.

TESTIMONIALS

“I had the privilege of attending a 12 day retreat with Anna. During this time I was able to connect with parts of myself that had become largely unknown to me. Prior to attending this retreat, I do not know if I had engaged in any true creative expression since I was a child. Not only had I lost connection with my creativity, but with my body, my freedom, my life force. Through various exercises involving meditation, breathwork, movement, touch, artwork and community connection I was able to reconnect with this life force energy that had seemingly become dormant inside me. This process was not always easy. I was confronted with shadow parts of myself and emotional wounds that had likely contributed to me becoming cut off from connection with others, the Earth and myself. I experienced my body “waking up”. I am able to express myself more fully than ever before, unbound by my insecurities and inhibitions. I feel able to let the energy inside me be whoever it needs to be. This allowed me to construct pieces of art that I never thought possible given my complete lack of artistic experience. I was able to create something that was truly an expression of me. Anna has found a way to help people become more deeply connected with themselves and the world around them through the medium of sculpting. She helped me along in my journey of connecting with and learning to express who I truly am. For this I am immensely grateful.” – Michael, USA

“I’ve been in therapy for years now and tried all kinds of different healing modalities. When I found Sophie her message really spoke to me and I decided to reach out and speak to her. I decided to work together and it has by far been the most transformative out of everything that I have done. People have been saying that they feel a different presence and confidence about me and I feel a new sense of aliveness and excitement about life.” – Patrick, Sweden

“WILD WONDER” the retreat held by Anna and Àine was like a journey through my body where many memories are stored. And there at the deepest ground sits the clairvoyant, healing-feeling, and the autonomously capable, often buried under shadow aspects. We were allowed to uncover them together with our own hands from the dark pit – formed from clay and seeds; we sculpted our very own essence. In retrospect, a strong belief in the power of my visions remained. The confidence in myself and my beauty, in my own initiative and self-determined ways. I feel openness, clarity, inspiration, curiosity, and a good portion of fun in playing. In everyday life, I can better differentiate myself from my environment and formulate what I need. I find the whole world to be more sensual, more stimulating and simply delicious. This sparks joy in me and my body and the desire to keep on exploring my eroticism.” – Janka, Germany

“If you are looking for a space where you will be held by someone who truly embodies this work and will see you in your highest light then I highly recommend this. Sophie created a beautiful space in which I felt safe and brave enough to explore this topic in a truly judgment free zone. I wish I had done this work 20 years ago.” – Lilliana B.

FARM TO TABLE CUISINE

Tierramor’s dedicated Farm to Table Dining Team will provide 3 x daily meals for the duration of the workshop. We believe being a part of the solution – by nourishing ourselves we nourish our environment. We do our best to support and source from local farms (including our own) and use as many organic ingredients in our cooking as we can. We share meals together, in a communal space.

The majority of meals are vegetarian. We can accommodate for all dietary requirements, including vegan. When there is availability of fresh fish, chicken and meat, those can also be incorporated in the diet.

In our effort to minimise plastic usage and food waste, we do not currently permit guests to prepare their own meals in the kitchen.

Any specific dietary requirements should be notified ahead of time of arrival 😊

Email annakiesser@gmail.com or sophie@sophielua.com if you have any dietary restrictions.
