An all-inclusive, eco-luxury retreat led by Licensed Professional Counselor and Somatics Facilitator, Alicia Zielinski Straub. Nestled in the Savegre Mountains at Imiloa Institute, this 5-Star Retreat Center rests on 22 acres of lush jungle and offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.

Over six unforgettable days, the jungle becomes your classroom, the ceremonies your teachers, and your body the vessel of catharsis. Each day unfolds with intention, enchantment, and transformative depth. Combining luxury, adventure, and restoration, a carefully curated blend of modalities awakens the mind, body, and spirit.

Deep within this sanctuary where infinite potential dances through the air, the magic of the rainforest holds the space. Every sound, scent, and sensation guides you home to your true self. There is a profound invitation: to drop the masks, untangle habitual patterns, and discover what has been lying dormant underneath. Unearthing the radiant core of who you are, you will ease into a state of sensory delight and tap into the natural intelligence within.

Step off the treadmill of perfectionism, overachievement, and relentless productivity and come home to your authentic self.  As you uncover the layers and remove the masks, you will release habitual patterns and unnecessary defense strategies. In this transformational container for growth and breakthrough, you will:

• Release the unconscious defenses that keep you “on”

• Reclaim freedom from overachievement and perfectionism

• Restore nervous system balance and inner harmony

• Connect authentically – with self and others

• Live more fully, freely, and deeply

Surrender to the awe and reverence of the present moment. An immersive experience curated to delight in the senses, awaken the body, and restore the mind. The natural intelligence of the land offers sacred refuge. Exquisite, gourmet plant-based meals energize. Lavish accommodations allow for deep rest and rejuvenation. Genuine, authentic connections invite powerful emotional breakthroughs. Intentionally designed, the itinerary guides you back home to the heart.
