Some things can only happen in Costa Rica.

I didn’t choose this land casually. And it did not receive me casually either.

When I came here for my 48th birthday, I was afraid of almost everything. Heights. Zip-lining. Letting go. I had built a powerful life, but there were still places inside me that felt braced.

The jungle is wild, yes. But it is also deeply grounded. Held. Revered by the people who live there. There is a steadiness beneath the canopy that mirrors something steady within you.

The moment I realized I was safe — truly safe — something softened. And when that fear dissolved, life became lighter. Decisions became clearer. My body stopped bracing for impact.

Awaken in the Jungle is about that shift.

It is not about adrenaline.
It is about facing what feels big in community — and discovering it is not bigger than you.

Some breakthroughs require a particular land. A particular container. A particular season.

April 11–16 is approaching quickly. Deposits need to be secured in the next couple of weeks so we can finalize the container and prepare intentionally.

If this retreat has been circling your mind, that is not random.

If Costa Rica feels specific, that is not random.

Message me “JUNGLE” and let’s have a grounded conversation about whether this is your next brave step.

You do not have to leap alone.

I've usually got a handle on two or three of these at a time, but they change rapidly.
Being superhuman is really hard work. ❣️
