TEN. YEARS. STRONG.
My heart? FULL ON DANCING. 💃
We're heading back to Costa Rica for the 10th year (!!!) because honestly, starting the year anywhere else just feels...meh.
🔥 But this year? We’re turning the volume ALL the way up. I’m bringing sound play to our retreat—think deep vibrations, wild resonance, and that goosebump kind of magic. 🎶
📸 This was me goofing off on the Santa Monica beach before diving into 30 hours of sound training with @ALIGNWITHBELLA. (Yes, there was dancing involved. No, I will not apologize.)
Now, I’m beyond pumped to bring all that joyful noise to Costa Rica!
10 years. More sound. More movement. More HELL YES energy.
Who’s coming with us?

We all bring something to Shakti Soul—whether it’s life experiences, different levels of yoga practice, or simply an open heart. Solo travelers, friends, mothers and daughters, sisters, and couples will each find something unique here.
Shakti Soul is a safe, welcoming space to explore together or alone, all while tapping into the wisdom within.
Invite someone special or come alone—Shakti Soul is a space of connection and self-discovery.

Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It...
Welcome, Agent of SoulShine! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to embark on a top-secret retreat operation. The success of your mission depends on your ability to accept the following:
1. Mission Code Name: Operation Hearts on Fire
Approach all intel with an open mind and heart. The secrets of the universe are waiting for you!
2. Operation Play
Take calculated risks and explore the unknown. Your fascination will lead to some mind-blowing discoveries. Proceed with curiosity.
3. Decision Power
You’re the boss of this mission. Make your own choices and trust your gut. (No pressure, though.)
4. Emotional Intel
Acknowledge your feelings and experiences—no need for judgment. Every emotion is a clue!
5. Agent Ears
Listen closely… the truth is always in the details.
6. Question Everything
Your license to ask questions has been activated. Use it wisely.
7. Guidance from HQ (a.k.a. Your Soul)
Stay open to receiving top-level guidance from your inner HQ. Your soul knows the way.
8. Be Present & Alert
In every mission moment, stay focused. No daydreaming—unless it's part of the plan.
9. Full Agent Expression
Walk, talk, and move like the badass secret agent you are. Own it.
10. Let It Go
Drop anything that’s weighing you down. Your mission needs a clear mind and light heart.
This message will self-destruct (just kidding, but seriously—take it to heart). Happy retreat,
Agent 217 (that's my birthday)

🛌 Open air slumber in a king or two twin beds. (AC is being installed now so that’s a choice for you)
🛁 Private bathrooms, with a shower and a freaking amazing soaking tub overlooking the forest.

Ignite Your Spirit: Join Us for "Hearts on Fire" in Iceland!
I've had the joy of guiding over 30 retreats across 5 countries, and each new adventure brings its own magic. With "Hearts on Fire" in Iceland, the excitement is bubbling up again, and so are the questions...
"Will I fit in?"
"Do people come alone?"
"What if I'm new to yoga or Nia?"
Here's the thing: our retreats are designed for everyone. You don't need to dress in a certain way, have a flexible body, or practice anything daily to join us. You are perfect, just as you are.
And if you're wondering about being an introvert, you're in good company—I'm one too! Our retreats offer a balance of engaging group activities and ample personal time. You can dive into the practices, partake in group adventures, or take time for solo exploration. Everything is optional, and the pace is yours to choose.
In our retreats, there's no such thing as too much or not enough. Age, experience, or coming alone—none of that matters. What matters is your presence.
So, whether you're flying solo or bringing a friend along, we have a space just for you. A mat and a cushion with your name on it are waiting.
If your heart yearns for a journey that transforms, "Hearts on Fire" in Iceland is calling. This is not just another retreat; it's a chance to witness the majestic landscapes of Iceland, to explore the depths of your own heart, and to ignite your inner fire with every breath and step.
And if you're more of a homebody, keep an eye out for our summer retreat in West Virginia. But if your soul is seeking adventure, let Iceland be the canvas for your transformation. Join us, and let your heart catch fire with the beauty of Iceland and the warmth of our community. Your adventure begins now.
