AWAKEN THE WISE WOMAN
7 Days • 7 Chakras • 7 Hormones
Casas Kismet, Nosara, Costa Rica | July 17–24, 2027
A seven-day retreat for women ready to understand their changing bodies, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and return home feeling grounded, empowered, and deeply supported.
Women’s retreat • Seven nights • Reserve with a $500 deposit
Awaken the Wise Woman — a one-of-a-kind weeklong women’s retreat where science, spirit, and soma meet. Designed for women who are ready to stop splitting themselves into parts and begin listening to the whole.
The Retreat Promise
For generations, women have been taught to separate the physical from the spiritual, biology from energy, science from intuition. But what if they were never meant to be separate?
In beautiful Nosara, Costa Rica, we will explore the relationship between the chakra system, endocrine glands, hormones, and the innate wisdom of the feminine body. Through yoga, education, breathwork, ritual, herbal wisdom, rest, and honest conversation, you will be supported in understanding yourself in a fuller and more integrated way.
This is not a week of escaping your life. It is a week of returning to yourself so that you can meet your life differently.
Shared Queen Room: $2, 250
Why This Retreat Is Different
Awaken the Wise Woman brings together modern science, ancient wisdom, movement, and lived experience. You will not be asked to choose between understanding your physiology and honoring your intuition. Here, both belong.
The retreat is intentionally intimate so that there is room to be known—not lost inside a crowd. You may arrive on your own, but you will move through the week in the company of women who are also ready to listen, learn, and remember themselves.

Lisa Ostler BSN-RN, RYT-500, YACEP
I have spent more than two decades caring for people as a registered nurse, and I have been practicing yoga since 2000 and teaching since 2001. My work has moved through emergency medicine, flight nursing, public health, women’s wellness, yoga, and Ayurveda.
Awaken the Wise Woman was born where these paths finally met. I stopped seeing women’s health as only science or only energy. I began seeing the conversation between hormones, the nervous system, the endocrine glands, the chakra system, and the wisdom women already carry within their bodies.
In many ways, I have been preparing my entire career to hold this gathering. I created it because I believe women deserve clear information, embodied practice, honest community, and the space to hear themselves again.
