THE BOLDÂ
EXPERIENCE
for the wild woman who's playing bigÂ
FEBRUARY 14-20, 2026Â
(limited to 8 women)
Claim Your Spot, Queen đImagine this⌠đ´đ
You land in Nosara, a secret gem on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. A blue-zone wonder where energy flows, the jungle hums, the waves crash, and the sun hits just right. You step off the plane, and holy shitâyou feel it. The vibe. The energy. The magic of a place thatâs basically on a bed of crystals, ready to recharge your body, your mind, and your entire damn soul.
This is where wild women come to play big, push boundaries, and unapologetically live out loud. Adventure meets decadence. Simplicity meets indulgence. Every single moment is curated to make you feel alive, bold, and untouchable.

This isnât for the woman waiting for permission.
Â
This is for the woman who already knows who she is.
Sheâs embodied. Empowered. Self-assured.
Her destiny isnât a checklist â itâs a frequency.
This retreat is about stepping into spaces where beauty, freedom, and adventure collide. 5 days where you get to live louder, love wilder, and celebrate the woman you already are.
