OMG. I don't know if there are enough or the right words to describe my retreat experience. Payton really knows how to create and facilitate a retreat. This felt like a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Here's a bit of what I experienced: A safe space to be authentically me; Opportunity to relax or socialize as I saw fit for my energy levels; The gift of meeting, connecting, and creating a sisterhood with ladies on a similar path and also intriguingly different (we all have our own gifts); Beautiful scenery and conversations; A life changing excursion. Not only did I get to see a beautiful rainforest, I was able to push myself outside of my comfort zone.
I cannot wait for the next retreat! I know it will be exactly what I need, when I need it, and where I need it. Her retreats meet me where I am at and give me all I need to walk through the next phase of my life. Hurry up and plan the next one Payton! :)
The most amazing, beautiful ranch in the rainforest 🥰 Anna & Pablo hosted a wonderful retreat along with Payton ♥️ yummy food, beautiful scenery, horseback riding, and wonderful staff! I cannot express enough how grateful and blessed I am to have experienced this wonderful experience! Thank you for teaching us about your cacao & support to help us feel most comfortable! 💕 definitely recommend!
This was the trip/retreat of lifetime!!! I live in the United States and had never been to Costa Rica before. I've done other retreats in the states with Payton, so I already knew this would be well organized, heart-filling, & a needed recharge on my recovery journey. But, WOW...everything about this retreat was done with such detail and careful coordination. La Anita Retreat Ranch in Upala, Costa Rica was truly an modern experience in an ancient rain forest. The facilities were beautiful, yet rustic. The owners Pablo & Anna were superior in every way. Payton's choices of 1/2 day and full day excursions amplified the overall experience of being nestled amongst trees, foliage, water falls, bridges, trails, wildlife, delicious meals and more. If you ever have the chance to participate in one of Payton's retreats, do it! And 1000% do it if you have the opportunity to go to Costa Rica and the rain forests. Heal & recover in nature. It's the best!
