ONLINE CONTAINER FEB 23 - APRIL 2
COSTA RICA IMMERSION AT YACUMAMA MARCH 3 - 9
with Maria Teresa Chavez, Ixchel Munay & Friends
Join us in the lush tropics of Costa Rica for a transformative immersion designed to help you access and harness your fullest life force energy. ​​
This isn’t just a retreat — it’s a call to revolutionize how you live and lead, inside and out.​
When we are tapped into the infinite wellspring of Shakti, connected to our bodies and our life force energy, life can flow with a whole other level of grace & ease.
Rather than giving from our own limited reserves and getting depleted, you will learn how to resource yourself with Shakti so that you can nurture and create from a cup that is overflowing.

Imagine...
​​​​
Waking up to the sunrise over the mountains
with open views to the ocean.
Starting your day with juicy, activating sacred
feminine embodiment practices.
Swimming in waterfall pools in the sunshine.
Being danced by the music in the sweet surrender of full flow state.
Opening the energetic channels of your body and deepening your connection to the subtle energies of the universe within and around with Tantric & Daoist practices
Enjoying delicious farm to table organic healthy meals and sipping on rejuvenating elixirs throughout the day.​
Deeply rejuvenating with healing massages, blue clay body masks, living water and the frequency of pristine nature.
​
Feeling your eros and creativity alive with inspiration and fuel to channel your energy into your purpose, your Dharma.
​
Ending the day with deeply restorative yin yoga & wisdom circles around the sacred fire.​​
​​​
Through a unique blend of sacred ceremonies, ancient wisdom and modern embodiment practices, you'll leave fully juiced up with the tools stay connected to your Shakti and bring your passions to life.
​​
​
​

Come home to yourself beloved, to your erotic, receptive feminine nature - naturally magnetic such that all you seek seeks you.

Our focus is on creating a nurturing and supportive environment for you to dive deep into your own personal journey and self-discovery while creating a group field of connection and coherence.
​
We will be working together to clear any programs of comparison and competition between women and find an authentic place of celebrating each other's unique beauty. This will be a space of safety where you can feel comfortable to be open and vulnerable.
​
You'll leave this retreat feeling fully alive, with a renewed sense of vitality, inspiration and aliveness.
​
We are excited to welcome you into this unique and precious opportunity to step into the fullness of your being and create lasting change in your life.

ixchel munay
Hola I'm Ixchel, here in devoted service to the liberation of all beings. We’ve been repressed in victim consciousness and patriarchal conditioning for far too long and I’m celebrating that we are waking up as a species, remembering that we are powerful creators and coming into alignment to create a world of peace and beauty.
My work with Living Wisdom is born from the embodied wisdom that I have gathered in 20+ years of walking the path of plant medicine, conscious living and supporting thousands of people around the world in my immersions and sessions to come home to themselves.
I am forever a humble student of life, nature, indigenous wisdom and the ancient teachings of yoga. I value authenticity, keeping it real and creating spaces free of judgement where we can feel safe to let go of the masks to experience true intimacy and connection.
I am committed to radical presence and deep intuitive listening to see what is alive and needed in the moment. I may draw upon my toolbelt from my initiations with yoga, meditation, tantra, shamanism, magic, somatic therapy, dance, breath work, NLP, non-violent communication, permaculture, natural medicine, neuroscience and more.
I am the mother of a passionate 18 year old artist who has been raised with inspiration by a village in the community I co-founded with his dad 18 years ago. I’ve spent about the past 20 years of my life based in Bali, the mystical land of my father’s ancestors.
For the past four years I’ve been spending half the year in Costa Rica devoted to creating Yacumama - a regenerative community land project where we host transformational experiences.
I am here to support you to stand firmly in your sovereign power as the creator of your reality, illuminate subconscious blind spots, transcend perceived limitations and dance together under the light of the moon as you remember are already whole, holy and there is nothing to heal.

lush land is a medicine in itself
The healing power of this pristine,
and by simply stripping away
the daily noise and immersing
ourselves in pristine nature
we begin the process of
coming back to wholeness.

There is nothing more powerful
than women uniting,
releasing competition, uplifting and
supporting each other to
shine in our full radiance!
Preparation & Integration
​
Ultimately this immersion is to prepare us for the ceremony of life so we can be more loving, aware humans in all of our relationships. Preparation and integration are some of the most important aspects of this experience.
.
When you sign up, you will receive a package of preparation and integration tools with meditations, embodiment practices, journal prompts, an integration e-book, dietary and lifestyle guidelines.
Staying connected in community is one of the most important parts of integration. We will have a group inside a custom platform for us to stay connected beyond the immersion.
​

You will be held in a safe container and lovingly guided to peel back the layers of mind, ego and conditioning.
The amazing thing is that when you face your fears, and let go of attachments - you get to taste the sweetness of liberation that is on the other side.
ACCOMMODATIONS
We have a variety of accommodations all nestled in nature to connect you with the forest and inspire you with expansive views of the ocean, mountains and jungle. You will likely see blue morpho butterflies, hummingbirds, toucans, scarlet macawas, monkeys and more right from your room.​​


LOCATION
Yacumama is in Ojochal, a small town near the Pacific Ocean, known for its international fine dining, which is part of the Ballena (whale) Coast.
We are 30-40 minutes south of Dominical and 15-20 minutes south of Uvita, where the Envision Festival has been held for the past ten+ years.
Yacumama is a 3-4 hour drive southwest of the international airport, SJO.
From San Jose or other airports in the country you can also take a 45 minute flight on a small plane with Sansa or even hire a small private plane to Quepos airport which is about an hour drive from Yacumama.
