Untamed Retreat

Connect with your divine feminine and uncover who you were meant to be

NESTLED IN THE COSTA RICAN MOUNTAINS

Jaco, Costa Rica

Dates TBA 2025

Recharge in the magic of Costa Rica as you nurture your inner child, tap into your inner self, widen your capacity for pleasure and create lifelong memories with like-minded women.

For those who have lived under the weight of institutionalized beliefs—whether through organized religion, family structures, or societal norms that dictated how you should think, feel, and be—we offer you a sanctuary to reclaim the truth of who you are.

This retreat is a sacred space for women who have spent their lives conforming, silencing their inner voices, and living by expectations not of their own making. It is a space to go deep within yourself, to unravel the layers of conditioning, and to break free from the scripts that were handed to you.

Here, you will reconnect with the wisdom already within you—learning to trust your intuition, embrace your individuality, and rediscover the parts of yourself that have been suppressed or forgotten. This retreat will give you the freedom to explore your soul without judgment or limitation, allowing you to emerge with a deeper understanding of yourself and the life you are meant to live.

Imagine…

  • Waking up to the gentle sounds of birds and the calming breeze in the heart of a Costa Rican rainforest, where nature holds you in its embrace every morning.

  • Savoring freshly prepared, nourishing meals crafted with love, fueling your body for the inner journey ahead.

  • Being surrounded by like-minded women who support and inspire one another to thrive, creating a community of genuine connection and empowerment.

  • Unplugging from the outside world, with the jungle as your sanctuary, where time stands still and you are free to explore the depths of your soul.

  • Rediscovering your essence through yoga movement, meditation, and healing practices, each day bringing you closer to your true, authentic self.

It’s time to embody the goddess inside of you.

REMEMBER WHO YOU CAME HERE TO BE…

I’m Chrystal, you’re host

I was raised in a fundamentalist Christian group, an organized religion that shaped my thoughts and actions for most of my adult life. Believing that this was where God wanted me, I married into this faith and raised a family, dedicating my entire adult life to this cause. I never sought an alternative path and would have continued on this journey had I not been shown the truth of what is.

When I realized that I could no longer live authentically on this path, I embarked on a transformative journey toward my true self.

This un-taming process has been long and at times lonely, but it has been perfectly designed for my growth. As a result of these changes, I experienced significant losses: my spouse of 25 years, both of my parents within a year, and many of my closest friends and family. The only constants were my children, who stood by me while embarking on their own journeys into adulthood.

With these losses, I was left with little more than material possessions and felt compelled to sell them and set off abroad, allowing my soul to guide me to new shores. Through travelling, retreats, etc ..I learnt so much about and now want to help women do the same.

I am not a guru; I am a real woman with a life lived and lessons learned, no longer labeling my experiences as good or bad. From having been tamed in a cage of beliefs, I have set myself free and embraced my inner wisdom, learning to define my path without relying on external directions.

I once dedicated my life to family and faith, but now I ask:

Who am I without these roles?

What do I desire when I am alone in silence?

I sought inspiration in books like Glennon Doyle's Untamed, realizing many of us are deconstructing our programmed identities.

As women, especially those from organized religions, we have been taught how to live, but not how to access our innate wisdom. We must learn to discern the programs that govern us and to trust ourselves, breaking free from the fear of mistakes. I believe we came to experience life in all its facets—the joy and the pain, the mundane and the miraculous!

Untamed retreat is a sacred space for women, allowing their inner seeds to sprout and reclaim their power. Together, we will remember this forgotten knowledge, transcending the hamster wheel of life and embracing the magic that is already within us.

This is more than just a time away, this is about coming into your power again.

Have you been wondering, how do I meet other like minded women, with maybe similar experiences, or experiences that can help me on my path? What are things I can be doing, to help myself become what I want to? How do I do it? Where do I start? What is next for me in life? What did I come to do?

I hear you, and I’ve been there.

Come to Lotus House, learn how to get still, and simply be. Come to a sacred space you can feel accepted for who you are and just belong. Learn how to connect more with yourself.

Untamed Retreats at Lotus House are sacred spaces for women to break free from societal, familial, or religious conditioning. Rediscover your inner voice, embrace your intuition, and connect with like-minded women on a transformative journey to reclaim your authentic self.
