This was my second consecutive year attending the retreat at Mystica. Often when returning to a location, without the excitement of a brand new experience, the flaws and blemishes are more glaring and easily spotted. On the contrary, returning to Mystica reaffirmed all the reasons I fell in love with the place the first time and just how powerful Deborah's firm but loving guidance through the journey of self-discovery can be. The love and attention to detail that Lori and Francesco provide in everything from the delicious food and welcoming accommodation to the immaculate grounds, ensure all your physical needs are completely cared for. This allows you to go inwards and focus on your personal objectives without unnecessary distractions. Deborah structures the agenda with a balanced mix of group sessions and ample time for individual work and self-reflection. All of it combines to create a truly unforgettable experience.

If you're looking for a truly transformative experience with Deborah and Lynda, this Costa Rica retreat at Mystica hosted by Lori and Francesco is it. From the moment you arrive, you feel your nervous system exhale. The lush environment, intentional practices, and wholesome foods create such a nurturing atmosphere to truly reconnect with your deepest self as well as connect with a group of like-minded, loving “sisters”. I felt like I stepped out of my old routines and into a vibrant new era, full of clarity and peace. I felt seen, heard and supported. Seriously life-changing! 🌼

Words are hard to find to describe this experience. Life changing comes to mind. Deborah and Lynda were our guides into our mind and spirit. I know have 13 new Sisters from my time at Mystica.

This was my 4th time attending a Costa Rica retreat with Deborah Hanlon. I go every year because there is nothing like it. Mystica Lodge is an amazing property in the Costa Rican mountains, where meals are amazing, rooms are comfortable and the grounds are full of incredible plants, trees, flowers and birds. The programs that Deborah has created provide connection, challenge and deep introspection, with a lot of laughter and fun. The only way to describe what happens there is to go be a part of it. If you have not signed up yet,I encourage you to do so. You will be amazed at who you find.
