Medicine Women Collective Presents

Come hOMe

An 8-day transformative retreat

for the woman who is ready

to come home to herself

Jan 30 – Feb 6, 2027

Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica | Castle of Oz

Medicine Women Collective is a sisterhood devoted to helping women reconnect with nature, reclaim their pleasure, and embody their inherent gifts.

We lead immersive retreats in nature centered on somatic work, ritual work, nervous-system resilience, and whole-body experiences, so you can uncover and use your unique medicine.

Through coaching, embodied practices, transformative mindset shifts, intentional group healing, and restorative time in nature, we clear deep subconscious blocks and restore freedom, vitality, and soulful belonging.

Come hOMe to your body, your life, &

your WHOLE self.

Medicine Women Collective * Come hOMe to Yourself |

Medicine Women Collective * Come hOMe to Yourself |

We see you

You've built a beautiful life.
So why does it feel so empty sometimes?

You're competent, capable, accomplished. From the outside, everything looks pretty great.

But behind closed doors, you're exhausted in a way that sleep can't fix.

You've given everything to everyone — and maybe you’ve quietly lost yourself in the process.

You feel unseen and unappreciated — even surrounded by people who love you.

You've been the strong one for so long. You've forgotten what it feels like to be held.

You're standing at a threshold — a career shift, an empty nest, a marriage that no longer fits — and you don't know who you are on the other side.

Success feels like a performance. You want to feel it in your body — not just on your résumé.

You want more joy, more peace, more you — but the word "selfish" stops you every single time.

Deep down you know: you were made for something more. And that calling is getting louder.

You aren’t broken. You’re not too much — or too little.

You are a woman at a threshold, and your soul is asking you to

stop performing and start returning.

This retreat was built for exactly this moment in your life.

"A circle of women can change everything.
Together, we remember our power."

— Medicine Women Collective

What you'll walk away with…

You will leave
transformed from the inside.

Not in a "felt good for a weekend" kind of way. More in a "I finally know who I am and what I'm here for" kind of way.

An Identity Rebirth

You will shed the roles, the labels, and the expectations that have kept you small — and step into an embodied, grounded sense of who you truly are. Not who you've been told to be.

Lifelong Sisterhood

There is something irreplaceable about being truly witnessed by other women. You will forge deep, lasting bonds with like-hearted women who see the real you — and celebrate her.

Freedom from Old Patterns

Through somatic work, ceremony, and deep coaching, you'll break the cycles that have kept you stuck — people-pleasing, over-giving, shrinking — and replace them with sovereign new ways of being.

Your Medicine, Activated

Every woman carries medicine — her unique gifts, wisdom, and power. You will leave knowing what yours is. And you will know how to use it — in your relationships, your work, your life.

A Rested & Embodied Self

Your nervous system will learn a new baseline. You'll have real tools — breathwork, somatic practices, self-care rituals — to sustain transformation long after you leave Costa Rica.

Clarity on Your Next Chapter

Whether you're navigating a career pivot, a life transition, or simply a profound "what's next?" — you will leave with a clear, felt sense of direction and the confidence to walk it.

Real women. Real retreats.

This is what it looks like when
medicine women
come alive.

Farewell & Integration

A final breakfast together — heartfelt, unhurried, sacred. You leave carrying your medicine: clarity, embodiment, sisterhood, and a renewed sense of who you truly are.

Where the Jungle Meets the Ocean, Something Within You Awakens.

An invitation to step out of the ordinary and into the wild, breathtaking beauty of Costa Rica—where nature becomes your sanctuary, sisterhood becomes your medicine, and transformation becomes an initiation.

Imagine waking to the symphony of the jungle. The distant calls of howler monkeys echoing through the trees. Warm, fragrant air brushing against your skin. Sunlight spilling through a canopy of emerald green as the earth stirs beneath your bare feet. Here, where the lush rainforest stretches toward the wild Pacific Ocean, life moves to a different rhythm—one guided by the tides, the rising sun, and the pulse of the living earth.

Costa Rica is a land bursting with life. Cascading waterfalls, vibrant tropical flowers, ancient trees, and untamed coastlines invite you to slow down, soften, and remember what it feels like to be fully alive. The warmth of the people, the richness of local traditions, and the spirit of pura vida—a way of life that celebrates simplicity, connection, and gratitude—remind us that beauty is not something we must chase. It is something we can experience when we become present enough to receive it.

And perhaps that is where the real journey begins.

Away from the noise, the expectations, and the roles you've learned to play, something within you begins to stir. In the embrace of the jungle, the rhythm of the ocean, and the sacred circle of women, you are invited to release what you've outgrown, reclaim what you've forgotten, and cross the threshold into the woman you're becoming.

This is more than a retreat. It's a homecoming. An initiation.

A remembering of the medicine that has always lived within you.

Let the Wild Beauty of Costa Rica

Bring You Back to Life.

Is this you?

This retreat was made
for women like you.

You don't have to explain yourself here. We already know who you are — because we've been her too.

✦

The High Achiever Who Feels Empty

You've hit almost every milestone on the outside — career, family, success. But behind the performance is a woman quietly wondering: Is this all there is?

✦

The Seeker Ready for More

You've read the books, done the therapy, taken the courses. You're not looking for surface-level — you're ready for a real, embodied, felt transformation that sticks.

✦

The Woman at a Threshold

A promotion. A divorce. Kids leaving home. A business calling. A body changing. You're standing at a doorway, unsure who you are on the other side — and ready to find out.

✦

The Woman Questioning Everything

Your identity, your relationships, your path — maybe even who you love. You're in the beautiful, terrifying unraveling of becoming more authentically yourself.

✦

The Giver Who’s Running on Empty

A promotion. A divorce. Kids leaving home. A business calling. A body changing. You're standing at a doorway, unsure who you are on the other side — and ready to find out.

✦

The One She Knows She’s Meant for More

The calling is getting louder. The restlessness won't quiet down. You know — deeply know — that your medicine is needed in this world. It's time to stop waiting.

If you read this and felt seen —

that recognition is your answer.

You were meant to find this retreat.

PICTURE THIS

Imagine...

You pull up a winding jungle road, and then you see it — a powerful castle rising through the trees, ancient and alive, waiting to hold you. The air shifts the moment you arrive. Salt from the Pacific mingles with the deep green breath of the jungle. Somewhere in the canopy, howler monkeys stir. Bright birds dart through flowers in shades you didn't know existed — scarlet, gold, electric violet — blooms so alive they almost hum.

You step out and feel the earth beneath you. This is not a hotel. This is something older. Something that remembers.

The castle gates open and you walk into a world designed entirely for your becoming. A stunning outdoor pool glimmers in the afternoon light, the jungle draped around it like a living frame. From the terrace, the Pacific stretches to the horizon — an ocean view so vast it rearranges something inside you. You are held. You are here.

Each morning, three exquisite meals appear — cooked by our private professional chef, Diego, whose artistry draws from the land itself. His cuisine is eclectic, deeply nourishing, and sourced from the wild abundance Costa Rica offers. Every bite feels like gratitude made edible.

The ocean is just a short 10-minute drive away — and when you need to feel her, she is there. Salt water. Open sky.

The ancient rhythm of the waves returning you to yourself.

And all around you, something extraordinary is already happening. You can feel it in the air — the buzz of powerful, beautiful women, just like you, arriving from different cities and different lives, carrying the same quiet longing. Strangers for only the briefest of moments. Before the first day ends, you will recognise each other. You will feel it — the bone-deep knowledge that you have found your people, and some of these women will be your friends for life.

This is what it feels like to come home to yourself.

To come home to nature.

To come hOMe.

THE SETTING

Castle of Oz
Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica

This is not a hotel.

This is a sanctuary in the jungle, perched above the Pacific with panoramic ocean views, lush gardens alive with toucans and howler monkeys, and a luxury that feels like it exists outside of time.

The Castle of Oz was built for extraordinary experiences — and that is exactly what you will have.

Wake to the sounds of the rainforest. Watch the sun set over the Pacific.

Feel the land hold you as you do the inner work.

This place is medicine in itself.

WHAT WOMEN ARE SAYING

Real women.
Real transformation.


“Sam and Karri are extraordinary guides.

The breath work opened me in ways I never expected.

But what made it truly perfect was the people — from the inspiring women who led it to the beautiful souls who attended.

It has left an imprint on my soul."

KIMBERLYNN GEARY

Soul Purpose Retreat

April 2025


"Signing up for the Retreat was a financial stretch for me. But now?

I would do it again without hesitation. In fact, I'd pay double. The breath work session alone w/Sam was nothing short of transformational.

I truly believe I made friendships that will last a lifetime."

NICOLE CRIFASI

Soul Purpose Retreat

April 2025


“When I started my sessions with Samantha, I was excited to set new goals, learn new tools to accomplish tasks and be held accountable. What I experienced far surpassed anything I could’ve ever imagined. 

Samantha is so deeply intuitive and is able to witness hidden desires in my soul that I’d only ever joked about or tried to make small, even disappear. 

But, she wouldn’t let me disappear. 

She called forth my truth, and because of her gentle and direct approach, I was able to admit out loud what I truly wanted. 

Less than a year later, I am practicing authenticity and beginning my own training to become a life coach!

My new life is full of adventure and magic, not because I learned goal setting tools, but because I was coached by Samantha to meet my rebel heart. 

There are some people in this world walking in their purpose with a gifted ability to draw out dimly light dreams hiding in the shadows.

Samantha is one of those beautiful people. I’m so fucking grateful that I got to walk with her through this radical evolution in my life.” 

KJERSTI BOHRER, Coaching Client


"This retreat did not just help me heal — it helped me remember who I truly am.

The coaching helped me uncover blocks I didn't realize I had, and the tools they gave us to navigate life with more ease, awareness, and grace have stayed with me ever since."

ELIZABETH HUDSON

Soul Purpose Retreat April 2025


“I had the opportunity to be coached by Karri, and the experience helped change my life.

I had been working with a therapist for seven years, and while that work had been valuable and helped me grow in many ways, I realized there were still things I was avoiding—patterns and behaviors that weren't serving me, but that I hadn't fully explored.

Working with Karri created a space where I felt comfortable enough to be honest with myself to share things that were difficult to acknowledge.

With her support, I began to recognize the patterns I was getting stuck in and see them from a different perspective.

What made the experience so meaningful was feeling safe enough to look beneath the surface, become more aware of my own behaviors, and begin to understand what was keeping me stuck.

The experience gave me a new perspective of myself and helped me see that meaningful growth can happen when I feel supported, understood, and willing to look a little deeper.”

KILEY HAYES, Coaching Client


“Working with Karri was truly transformational. Our paths crossed just as I was beginning to explore life coaching, and the timing felt almost serendipitous.

I had previously worked with a therapist, and when I say that my sessions with Karri helped me make breakthroughs I hadn't experienced in multiple therapy sessions, I mean it!

Together, we worked on practical tools to shift my mindset, set small, achievable goals, and begin filling my confidence bucket one step at a time.

Karri also helped me recognize the importance of boundaries and understand that I don't have to take on everything—and that I shouldn't. She even offered suggestions for essential oils to support my child, who was struggling with sleep at the time.

She truly takes the time to understand you as a whole person and meet you where you are.

The impact of our work extended far beyond our coaching sessions.

I've continued to stand up for myself and prioritize my self-care without feeling guilty.

I found the courage to confront my father and began releasing resentment that I had carried for years.

I started to see myself differently—not just as an overwhelmed mom, caregiver, girlfriend, business owner, and full-time employee, but as a woman who deserves time, space, and care for herself, too.

One of the things I appreciated most about Karri was how she made me feel. It was like talking with a nonjudgmental friend—someone who genuinely cared, listened deeply, and helped me uncover patterns and mental blocks I hadn't even realized were holding me back.

I felt seen,heard, and loved throughout our sessions. At the same time, Karri was always professional, respectful, and intentional about making sure I felt safe and comfortable.

I never felt pressured to share anything I wasn't ready to discuss.

My only complaint is that I didn't have more time with her!

I wholeheartedly recommend Karri to anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps.

She helped me find direction, rebuild my confidence, and recognize that even when life feels full to the brim, I can still show up for myself. That lesson has been invaluable.”

SAMANTHA MASON, Coaching Client

“Working with Samantha has been nothing short of transformational.

From the moment we met, she saw something in me that I had never seen in myself. In every session, she reflected back to me a clearer, more grounded version of who I truly am.

Her ability to hold that mirror consistently was invaluable—especially because her coaching supported me through one of the most intense and challenging periods of my life. She didn’t just offer insight; she helped me stabilize, see clearly, and reconnect with myself in a way I hadn’t before.

Because of our work together, I walk away with a deeper sense of clarity, self-trust, and inner steadiness. I can say with certainty that working with Samantha created a meaningful and lasting shift in how I experience myself and my life.

I wholeheartedly recommend her coaching services for those who are ready for a transformational experience”

ERICA MCDANIEL, Coaching Client

“I am so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Karri through her Nurse Coaching.

I began working with Karri after a transformative season in my life—becoming a new mother while also leading a demanding community organization. I was trying to balance a heavy workload, my relationship, the responsibilities of a growing family, and my own need for time to enjoy life, move my body, and take care of myself. I felt pulled in so many directions and knew I needed support in finding a healthier work-life balance.

Karri was incredibly helpful as I navigated these new priorities. She created a space where I could talk openly, process my feelings, and work through the stress I was placing on myself.

She offered thoughtful suggestions, introduced me to mindfulness practices, and encouraged me to communicate more openly with my husband and ask for help in ways that felt clear and constructive.

The weekly check-ins, meaningful conversations, walks, and even aromatherapy were exactly what I needed during this important transition in both my professional and personal life.

Each experience gave me an opportunity to reconnect with myself, gain perspective, and discover new ways to approach the challenges I was facing.

Through this work, I learned more about myself and gained practical tools that I continue to use in my everyday life.

I feel more confident in my leadership, better equipped to navigate competing priorities, and refreshed by the new perspectives I've gained.

I am moving forward with renewed energy, greater confidence, and a stronger sense of balance.

I'm so grateful for the support Karri provided and the lasting impact this experience has had on both my work and my life.”

ABBY LONG, Coaching Client

“Sam played a pivotal role on my path to healing.

She was the outreached hand pulling me out of the depths of despair and guiding me back to my true path.

I do not know what I would have done without her.

She is so easy to talk to. I felt like I could be truly honest with her and share things that I’ve never felt comfortable sharing with anyone because of her empathy, compassion, and personal experience.

The way she showed up for me in a time of crisis and and helped turn it into chrysalis had a huge impact on my ability to grow and step out of the old patterns that were holding me back.

Her ability to keep me on track and make sense of my confusion still baffles me.

She is an absolute gem and I couldn’t recommend her more.

I will eternally sing her praise and know that she will continue to positively influence the lives of many people.”

JULIETTE WITOUS (JULES), Coaching Client



“I felt an immediate connection to this kind, generous, gentle soul. I trusted her immediately and I think that is very special and rare.

Samantha’s intuitive gifts are phenomenal.

I had not had much experience with mindfulness before I began working with Samantha. I was blown away by her gift of intuition and how her words felt like they were made just for me!

Having her lead me on guided meditations was one of the best experiences I have had in this realm.

Samantha also assisted me in curating a personalized meditation for a client of mine, and her creativity and visualization process was truly incredible.

Samantha is someone I would recommend to anyone that wants to experience intuitive guidance and life-changing mediation/mindfulness practices that will take you to another level.”

SARA VISNESS, Coaching Client


OUR PHILOSOPHY

We don't fix you.
We remember you.

Medicine Women Collective was born from a deep knowing: that women don't need to be fixed

— they need to be witnessed, held, and reminded of the medicine they already carry within them.

We create sacred containers where that remembering can happen at the cellular level.

Not as a weekend escape, but as a genuine threshold crossing.
