Essence Retreats
By Brielle Brasil & Sarah Sutton
This isn’t just a getaway.
It’s a sacred return to your highest, most authentic self...to your true Essence.
You’ve been craving something you can’t quite name…
A deeper connection to yourself.
A softening into your relaxing, magnetic, wholesome feminine energy.
Sisterhood that feels safe, nourishing, supportive, and real.
A space to feel it ALL — grief and joy, rage and radiance, depth and pleasure.
Welcome to Essence Retreats.
Have you ever felt what it’s like to be in your feminine energy for more than a moment… but for days?
Not managing a to-do list.
Not planning meals, school pickups, or work deadlines.
Not checking the time or the group chat.
Not remembering who needs what from you next.
Not meal prepping, multitasking, overthinking, or keeping everyone else afloat.
Not organizing childcare, responding to texts, or wondering if you're doing enough.
Not tending to everyone else before yourself.
Just you — resting, receiving, reconnecting.
No pressure. No plans. No performance.
Maybe...never?
And if that’s the case — how could you possibly know who you truly are beneath it all?
When we live from the thinking mind, we lose touch with our souls.
We forget the sound of our intuitions.
We miss the peace, magic, and wisdom that lives in stillness, surrender, and presence.
Essence Retreats are designed to change that.
For 4 full days, you’ll be held, nourished, guided, and supported — not needing to plan, decide, or figure anything out!
Just breathing and BEING, letting the truth of who you REALLY are rise to the surface.
Essence is for the woman who’s ready to remember…
✨ Who she is beneath the endless to-do lists and when she’s not managing, fixing, or taking care of everyone else first
🌸 Who she is underneath the roles, the routines, and the pressure to keep it all together
🌙 What it feels like to be fully seen, held, supported, and celebrated
🔥 The wild, magnetic power that lives in her body and womb space
🌸 That softness is strength. That play is medicine. That sisterhood is healing.
You’ll cry and release.
You’ll dance and belly laugh.
You’ll purge the stories and beliefs that are no longer serving you.
You'll meet a version of yourself whom you didn't know existed...one that you absolutely ADORE.
You’ll leave with more clarity, confidence, and connection than you’ve ever known.
YOU'LL RISE.

RETREAT DETAILS:

We intentionally chose to wrap this retreat on a Saturday; you're going to experience deep transformation and are going to want at least a day post-retreat to process & integrate.
AIRPORT: Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO)
You'll notice that the SJO airport is a two hour drive from the resort, but we will fully take care of your transportation to/from according to your flight times!
