Costa Rica 7-Day Retreat Somatic Breathwork, Trauma Healing & Meditation SA

Because what is left unhealed repeats and what we resist persists!

We came here with a karmic contract and divine purpose; we are here to love and be loved without condition.

The path to dismantling our barriers to love is a process of meeting that which we try to avoid. The obstacle is the way. The only way out is through.

Join us on this immersive journey of self-discovery to meet yourself, and reawaken deep truth, inner peace and clarity.

It’s time to live the life you came here to live.

We’ll use Mantra Meditation, Conscious Breathwork, Intuitive Movement, Somatic Processing, and Conscious Community as sacred tools to meet and integrate our stress, pain and trauma. You will discover that these challenges are the divine steppingstones to your conscious evolution and awakening.

It’s time to remember who you are. To honour all that brought you to this critical turning point. So that you can live the life you came here to live. To really live, rather than just exist.

• Learn how to build trust in yourself and in life. As you overcome challenging areas and self-destructive behaviours, we’ll show you how to make positive changes in your life that lead to lasting transformation.
• Overcome fear and anxiety and to treat yourself and others with more kindness and compassion, as you gain new insights and awareness about yourself, life, and your relationships.
• Release dis-ease by healing from past painful experiences or trauma. Learn how to implement healthy boundaries, improve relationships and experience more joy, peace and empowerment than ever before.
• Learn how to listen to your innate wisdom without being overtaken by reactive behaviours and self-destructive patterns. Let go of overthinking, and be free of conflicted and limited thoughts and beliefs as you step into who you authentically are.

You’ll be held in a sacred space and guided through Conscious Breathwork and Intuitive Movement Journeys where you’ll develop a deeper felt-sense as you come home in a profound way into the body. You’ll open to timeless, heart-centred knowledge and insight as you dissolve restricted, limited narratives and patterns.

Using transcendent mantra-based meditation, you’ll experience the silence that is inherent to your being — without having to force your mind to be quiet! You’ll tap into the very same silence that is the birthplace for happiness, creativity, and infinite possibilities, as you relieve stress, ease anxiety or chronic pain and step into more peace and well-being.

During the retreat, there will be daily workshops to support your deepest healing. This is through the reintegration of wounded, unconscious parts of you that are at the root of everyday emotional and behavioural challenges. You’ll experience powerful processes such as inner child work, healing the mother/father wound, freedom through forgiveness, befriending the shadow, somatic inquiry, and more.

Having the right support and safe community is vital! In this transformational retreat, you’ll receive trained, conscious, support that allows you to be witnessed and held in a relational setting and is thus part of the healing process. Most, if not all, of our wounded parts of self happened in a relational container, meaning that the only way we can truly heal them is also in a relational container and sacred community.

In this retreat, you’ll be in uplifted by the awe-inspiring beauty of the Pacific Ocean — the sound of the waves, the caress of the sea breeze, the glory of the sunsets. We all know—even if only intuitively—that the natural world is astounding in its innate power and hence, it’s healing influence! The natural world craves our aligned presence and embodied power, just as much as we crave the natural world’s presence, grounding and raw, unapologetic and heart-centred power.

To best facilitate our healing at all levels—mind, body, and soul—as we Awaken to our true nature, it’s important that we are nourished in the best ways possible. To that end, each day we will be enjoying a buffet style menu of healthy dishes made from fresh, organic and local ingredients. To further enhance and deepen our healing experience, this is a “dry” retreat. Special dietary requirements, such as gluten free, vegetarian and dairy free, can be met with advance notice for a small additional fee.

• You’re ready to face, feel and heal your past pain, challenges or trauma and would like to deepen your understanding and embodiment of your true nature and karmic purpose.

• You feel deeply called to be a living example of healing and awakening so you can serve at the deepest level; yourself, those you love, or those you struggle to love.

• You’ve had enough of your own suffering, victim narrative and the damage they’ve inflicted on you and others. You are committed to expanding your own healing and awareness on the path to personal, professional and spiritual development.

• You have a deep desire to unlock the power of conscious breathwork, somatic inquiry, and embodied presence in a sacred community so that you can meet the divine YOU and the grace that is awaiting you.

• You’re not ready to take radical responsibility for your emotions, the narratives that accompany them, and the damaging behaviours or limiting patterns that result.

• You would rather adhere to positive thinking, visualization, raising your vibration than do the deep emotional work necessary to awaken to your true nature.

• You’re looking for a yoga or relaxation retreat. You’re not ready to turn inwards or you believe that exploring your inner depths will be a never-ending painful Pandora’s box.

• You aren’t ready to surrender to Divine Grace; to meet what Life has to offer. You’d rather demand things from life or the moment; you'd rather seek pleasure and avoid pain.

Keli is no stranger to mind, body and spirit awareness. She first started practicing transcendent meditation at the age of six. Keli is now a Chopra Center Certified Transcendent Meditation (PSM®) Instructor, Conscious Relationship, Uncoupling and Parenting Coach and Conscious Connected Breathwork Facilitator, Mentor and Trainer.

Keli is also a published author, has professionally studied with Gabor Maté and is the founder of both The Other Side of Average – Therapy for the Soul and the TOSA Method.

Keli has trained, mentored and guided hundreds of breathwork facilitators and organized and supported international breathwork retreats and training events for over six years.

Keli's commitment to conscious living has allowed her to raise 3 beautiful children with mindfulness, overcome limiting self-concepts, heal her body of disease, accomplish pain-free childbirth, and experience unity consciousness.

With well over 25 years of both meditation and somatic healing experience, her gift is in holding sacred space and helping you learn and master the three most essential tools that help align you with your soul’s purpose — your essential nature and the truest expression of yourself — all whilst healing and transcending past resentments and stories that have kept you stuck and in pain.

It is then that you experience the miracles and fulfilment of life in every moment and embody the presence to hold safe space for others to evolve beyond their story.

Keli’s philosophy is not to become your guru or healer but rather to hold the space needed for you to bring light to your darkness, helping you awaken the power you already have.
