Meet your hosts
Join writer-wanderluster Toby Israel and yogi-muralist Kim Wenger Hall, and a band of other wild-hearted women January 15 - 21, 2022.

Journey with us and receive
- Clarity: Guided inquiry, meditation and ceremony to peel away layers of anger, shame and fear to see clearly what is aligned and true for you and reclaim the magic of your ancestral wisdom.
- Strength: Empowerment Self-Defense: fun, dynamic, and incredibly effective tools created by women for physical self-defense as well as setting and maintaining strong boundaries.
- Balance: Vinyasa yoga to wring out stale energy and fire up the heat of transformation; Restorative yoga to soothe the nervous system and assist the integration of healing.
- Joy: Soul-healing connections with other Earth-centered women and generous time for play in the sun and surf.
- Satisfaction: Work side by side with residents of Uvita on an optional service project to help our home Planet heal herself, re-membering there is no true inner sanctuary if we are not also healing the outer sanctuary that is our Mother Earth.
- Carbon offsets are built into the retreat costs so that your travel will be carbon-neutral. Selva Armonia is deeply committed to sustainability, and our service work project will help with reforestation efforts in the jungle or on the beach. Want to reduce your footprint even more? We have ways!
