I had a lovely time but wish there had been more time with the host, and more time in practice. It felt much lighter than what I was looking for / wanted to be challenged more (did ask for this whilst there). Would have loved more opportunity for more yoga as well rather than only twice in a week. Loved the sound bath and the practise space in the jungle, and the hiking trail, the staff at Mystica, and the people.

There are truly no words that can actually describe the experience BUT I will try! You are taken to Mystica in a Van where you will begin to interact with your fellow attendees (FRIENDS by the end). From the moment you enter the property you are in Awe & Wonder at the beauty and that is just the beginning. The grounds are just breathtaking, and I can assure you, you will see a Rainbow at some point over Lake Arenal that will leave you speechless. Then you meet Lori, Francesco and Tino! Three of the most amazing loving people. Then you are escorted to your room OMG what beauty inside and outside….just simply Stunning. The views OMG!! Tranquil & Serene are understatements. Then you will meet the staff and experience eating some of the most fresh and delicious food EVER!! I cannot say enough about each! Then as if that is not enough the Services! From Cranial Sacral to Oracle Card Readings to Massages and so on and so on. They DO NOT disappoint. And finally, the topping on the cake, as if this cannot get any better, are the Workshops, Yoga, Sound Healing & Interactions with Deborah, Lori, Francesco & Helena! I personally have made TREMENDOUS breakthroughs insofar as my fears and “past” are concerned. These experiences were life changing to say the least and allowed me to ugly cry in the best way and at the same time offered me a sense of overwhelming relief and awareness. As I stated in the beginning there are truly no words that can actually describe the experience!! I cannot wait to return for all these reasons & more and will be returning every year for always! The friendships created are immeasurable and heartwarming. It’s awesome how so many different personalities can honestly just become one at times. The compassion & empathy are truly just astounding. Thank you, Deborah, for embarking on this Journey to Mystica and offering this experience to all of us! And for the Lifetime Friendships that have been created ~~~~~ Forever Grateful XOXO If you are on the fence about going….get down off the Fence and JUST BOOK IT!!

This was a wonderful and beautiful experience. I was hoping for a bit more workshop time with Deborah each day but overall I enjoyed the location, the food & the people. A daily yoga or meditation/hike in the mix could be a nice addition. I loved the visit to the horses and just being at Mystica in general. The sound bath was also amazing!!

I attended “The Great Unfolding of Self” 3/2-3/9. This experience with Deborah and our group that grew into a family was life altering for me. And Magical Mystica and the owners Lori, Francesco and their staff take you into their family. Deborah is with us from breakfast until we finish dinner and are heading off to bed. Her workshops are for you to go to your core and address and rid yourself of whatever your soul needs to purge. She works with you through this healing process. And know that she has her eye on every one of her students and is very aware of where they are emotionally. If someone has a block or is stuck, she will stop what she is doing and work through the issue until it is resolved. There is also time to relax with a trip to the Mama Gia tree, gifts to your body and soul by Amazing Mystica Healers. A trip to the ocean for a day and Equine therapy. I found a well balance between work and rest. Then there was our bonding breakfasts, lunches and dinners where we would all talk about our day’s experiences. Our family time. The week went by too quickly. I could spend hours listening and learning from Deborah. And I did! She was there for you at all times. Deborah is such a kind, loving, giving woman, I was honored to be one of her students. I will be returning next year!

Retreats with Deborah are so Special! She is the best Guide for International Travel. I can’t explain how supported and safe I felt through out the whole journey! I just had to plan for another retreat in Costa Rica as the effects were so noticeable returning back into my daily live! The jungle trees and streams, the coastline and animal encounters, the bonds made and Time just for The Self are my favorite things! It’s a must to experience!!

I had heard about last year's retreats to Costa Rica and was very excited to go this year. Deborah, Mystica, Lori, Francesco, the other healers that were there...ALL beyond what I could have imagined. Deborah is so authentic; she is fun, loving, and incredibly in tune with everyone she is leading. The entire adventure is very well planned out with workshops, time with healers, a beach day, Tula Vida 🤍🤍🤍 and well placed integration time. And, the food is incredible! It really is a magical time defying words. You have to experience it for yourself!
