Meet Syrena
1st Degree Black Belt/ Shadow Work Coach
Not long ago, I was sleeping on my sister's floor so my daughter could have her couch.
Homeless. Battling alcoholism after a messy divorce. Too terrified to go after the life I wanted, because deep down I didn't feel like I deserved it.
What changed?
Spirituality and martial arts. I went deep — into shadow work, into my past traumas and fears, into training. I transformed my life.
Today I'm a certified self-defense instructor with 15 years of experience and a shadow work coach. I've helped hundreds of women step out of their own way and find the strength they already had.
I built this retreat because I know what it feels like to be stuck — and I know what's waiting on the other side.
You deserve this.
Your Questions Answered
Do I need any fitness level or experience?
None. Most women who come to this retreat have never trained before. The self-defense sessions are built for beginners — Syrena starts where you are. You don't need to be fit, strong, or coordinated to get everything out of this week.
I've never traveled internationally. Is that okay?
Yes. Many women on this retreat have never left the country before. Casas Kismet is a well-established venue in a safe area of Costa Rica, and airport transfers are included so you're never navigating alone. Syrena is also available before the trip to help you prepare.
I've never traveled alone. Will I feel out of place?
You won't be alone for long. The pre-retreat calls connect attendees before you arrive, so you'll already know the women you're traveling with.
I carry some trauma. Is this a safe space?
Yes. This retreat is led with a trauma-informed approach. Syrena has worked with women across a wide range of experiences, and nothing in the program is mandatory. You move at your own pace and are supported the entire week.
Is a week away realistic for me?
That's the question worth sitting with. The answer most women find — after the trip — is that it was the most important week they spent on themselves in years. A $500 deposit holds your spot while you make arrangements.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. Your $500 deposit holds your spot, and the balance can be paid in installments.
What if the retreat is cancelled?
If the retreat doesn't reach its minimum and has to be cancelled, your deposit is refunded in full. You can also transfer your deposit to a future retreat within one year.

Imagine...
... waking up to ocean views and jungle sounds. You walk to breakfast with women who felt exactly like you did a few days ago — and now something has shifted.
By midmorning, you're in a self-defense session. You've never thrown a punch in your life. Neither have most of the women beside you. Syrena doesn't care — she starts where you are and takes you somewhere you didn't expect.
In the afternoons, you breathe, journal, rest, swim. In the evenings, you gather. Under the full moon, you let go of things you've been carrying for years.
On the last day, you don't want to leave.
But you go home different — and everyone around you notices.
