Life has a funny way of convincing us we'll finally take the trip — when work slows down, when we've saved a little more, when life feels less busy.

For seven days, we'll trade our routines for barefoot mornings, warm Pacific waves, chef-prepared meals, and meaningful conversations. Everything is taken care of from the moment you arrive. Your only job is to show up.

This retreat is for you if...

You want adventure without having to organize every detail yourself.

You love beautiful places but don't want a cookie-cutter group tour.

You want to travel with other women but don't need to arrive with a built-in friend group.

You're curious about surfing, yoga, hoop, or simply trying something new.

You want a week that feels fun and expansive — not like another item on your itinerary.

Adventure, the Living in Flow Way

At a Living in Flow retreat, not everything is scheduled. There is space to explore, rest, and simply be. Curious about the philosophy behind Living in Flow? Learn more here.

Throughout the week we'll...

🌊 Learn to surf with incredible local instructors (beginners are more than welcome.)

🧘 Practice yoga overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

⭕ Dance, laugh, and reconnect through hula hoop.

🌴 Spend slow afternoons by the pool, in the ocean, or on a lounger with a book.

🍽️ Gather around the table for beautiful meals prepared by our favorite local team.

🔥 Watch the sun disappear into the ocean with sand between our toes.

They're the conversations after dinner, the first wave you catch, and the friend you didn't know you were going to meet.

Experience More of Nicaragua

One of my favorite days of the retreat takes us beyond the beach and into the heart of Nicaragua.

Together we'll take in panoramic views from Laguna de Apoyo, an ancient volcanic crater lake, cruise across Lake Nicaragua with views of Mombacho Volcano, wander Granada's colorful colonial streets, and listen to live marimba music drifting through the plazas.

As a travel writer, one of the greatest gifts I think travel offers is perspective. Not just because we see somewhere new. But because we learn from the people, the culture, and the landscapes that shape it.

I hope you'll leave Nicaragua feeling like you've experienced far more than a vacation.

Come Alone. Leave Connected.

One of the questions I get asked most often is: "Will I be the only one coming alone?"

Almost never! Most women arrive without knowing anyone. By the end of the week, they're making plans to visit each other, planning future trips together, and wondering why they waited so long.

Living in Flow retreats welcome women from all walks of life.

Some are celebrating a new chapter while others are finding their way through one. Some simply know they're ready for a new adventure. No matter what brings you here... You'll be welcomed exactly as you are.

Why Nicaragua?

I'm often asked why I keep bringing women back here. The easy answer is because it's beautiful.

But I've traveled professionally for years, staying in incredible hotels and writing about destinations all over the world.

And I still come back to Nicaragua. There's something about the pace of life here. The warmth of the people, the untouched coastline, the feeling that life can actually be this simple.

This country helped me through one of the biggest chapters of my own life, and every year I have the privilege of sharing a little piece of it with another group of women. I hope you'll let me share it with you, too.
