   Embodied Wakefulness:

Living and Loving as Your True Self

A Costa Rica Retreat!

August 13-18, 2024

We are excited to offer our first international retreat in beautiful Uvita, Costa Rica.

Through hands-on exercises, personal reflection, coaching, and shared experiences, the retreat will focus on taking you to a new level of living as your most conscious self.  Whether you participate individually or as a couple, your experience will be customized for you as we offer daily workshops that include deepening your relationship to yourself, cherishing your body, freedom from the mind, embracing death and dying, and conscious relationship practices and tools.  Included each day will be a local adventure and activity. Multiple approaches and concrete tools are offered, with an emphasis on creating and sustaining meaningful change after the retreat. Together with other like-minded people, you have the opportunity to transform your life and your relationships.  The retreat will be limited to a small number of participants, creating an atmosphere of safety and trust.  We begin with dinner on Tuesday evening and end on Sunday at noon.  The cost includes food, lodging, admission into Whales Tale Preserve and any costs associated with group adventures as well as the workshop itself. It does not include transportation to and from Uvita. We are planning to hire a local person to provide some of the meals in addition to having 1-2 nights where we go to a local restaurant. We will also build in time for adventures, both with the group and on your own.  The cost is based on the number of workshops you attend.  There is both on site and off site lodging, both of which are included in the cost. To reserve a spot, half of the cost is due upon registration; the balance due August 13, 2024. Contact Katherine Jansen-Byrkit M.P.H., L.P.C. at (503) 267-6049 for more information or to register.

Testimonial

“I was very nervous and apprehensive coming into this weekend. But I truly trust Katherine and am so glad I did! Having Gary be a part of the weekend and work felt really safe and authentic. I would highly recommend this couples work for anyone no matter where they are in their relationship. It works!” “We came away from Katherine’s Diving Deeper retreat not only inspired to live a more vibrant and authentic life together but also went home with real tools and a running start on how to use them. I enthusiastically recommend!” “Going to the couple’s retreat helped us move to a deeper place in our relationship. We had big breakthroughs in our ability to speak the truth, hold on to ourselves and our emotions, and move through some painful places. I’d highly recommend it.”
