the alchemy of 

White cursive text that says "purdy" on a black background.

I am so excited to return to my favorite place on earth, Costa Rica. Dominical holds a kind of magic that lives in my body.

Everything here hums with life. The jungle meets the noise you’ve been carrying and quietly shifts it into awareness. Rosy clouds stretch across the sky at sunset and something in you softens. You slow down. You actually listen.

The elements invite you back to yourself. Not the version that holds it all together, the one that’s been waiting underneath it. The one that rises from your soul.

Here, you’ll gather with women who are ready to explore and live their vision. To reclaim their truth. To embody their joy. To move from something intimate, something real.

Something in you already knows.

The question is will you follow it?

This is a return to the wild.
A return to you.

Not just a retreat, but a homecoming.A space where the ocean, jungle, and sky work together to remind you who you are beneath the noise.

Our days move between guided practices and open space, allowing you to receive what is actually needed, not what you think you should be doing.

You’ll have the option to experience sacred plant medicine for deep release and clarity, creative workshops and art as a way back into expression, and energy and intuitive work to bring your inner and outer world into alignment. We gather for ocean and fire rituals that support renewal, release, and celebration, while also leaving space for rest, reflection, and connection with the land.

You’ll be held in a container designed for real nourishment, body, heart, and soul, coherence so you can return home clearer, grounded, and able to move differently in your life.

in costa rica

means "pure life."

But for the woman who is already aware, already capable, purity isn’t about getting it right. It’s about simplicity and resonance.

It’s what happens when you stop leading with the mind and feel what’s actually there underneath all that you have been holding together.

This is the alchemy of Pura Vida.

Not something you do. Something you allow. You being here in the jungle, in the water, with women who are also choosing more, changes you. Not by force. By remembering what your truth.

A modern outdoor patio with a large cushioned seating area, decorative pillows, lush green plants, a wooden wall art piece with leaf patterns, and sliding glass doors leading into a wooden interior.

It begins with a yes. A yes to the part of you that’s waking up and wanting more.

You’ve created stability. You know how to move through the world. And now something deeper is ready to expand.

More connection. More purpose. More life that actually feels like you.

There’s a vision forming. A pull you can’t ignore.

This is where you trust it.
Follow what excites you.
Step into who you authentically are.

Although I’ve recently arrived in Oregon, my heart remains deeply connected from my time living in Costa Rica.

My intention for 2026 is to create spaces rooted in a deeper connection to Gaia, safety, community, joy, and genuine connection. Costa Rica naturally stays at the center of that vision.

Each year, I plan to return with an intimate group of eight women to share the energy, beauty, and experiences that exist there in a way I haven’t found anywhere else.

Simply being there changes you.

I’ve both participated in and hosted retreats in Dominical, and it continues to be my favorite place. There is something about the land, the rhythm, and the way everything slows that allows something real to come forward.

I look forward to welcoming you into an intentional week of creativity, connection, joy, and meaningful moments.

If you feel called, you can apply below and we’ll connect on a Zoom call.

XO, Amy

The ocean calling, the jungle whispering, softly but unmistakably, it’s time to return. This is your place, wild, warm, alive already waiting to welcome you home.

7 Days and 6 Nights of Immersive Alchemy

Over a week long immersion, step into a rhythm that honors both your vision and your need for a deep, quiet reset of your heart and soul. This is a sanctuary for the woman who has been holding everything together and is ready to be held by the land and expand.

Our Sanctuary
Our home is a tropical-modern villa tucked into the canopy. It is a private sanctuary designed for safety, comfort, and an effortless connection to the jungle. It is a place to exhale, to move with the sun, and to remember what it feels like to be fully at home within.

The Path of the Insider
We move through the jungle with intention with our trusted guide, Wil. He is our "man with the plan" who handles the arrangements so you can truly let go. We’ll skip the crowded tourist spots in favor of private nature preserves and secluded waterfalls where the water releases you and the essence of life resets your spirit.

Creative Sovereignty
I’ve curated workshops and "art as medicine" for our time together. Whether we are in 1:1 sessions or moving in milieu, this is a time to play, to vision, and to refine the visual language of your life. There is no "hustle," just the expansive power of creative flow.

The Ritual of Restoration
Healing here is deep, soul led, and somatic. We’ve invited the practitioners from Bri Day Spa to bring their out-of-this-world touch directly to the villa. Along with a sound bath led by Met Salih, you will be nourished by practitioners who truly understand the frequency of this land.

Nourishment & Connection
From vibrant, plant-focused meals prepared by our private chef to our morning and evening circles, every moment is an invitation to return to yourself. You’ll be surrounded by an intimate circle of women who, like you, are claiming their lives with grace and intention.

Day 1: Root Chakra—Arrive, the frequency of the land is high so we will move slow.

Day 2: Sacral Chakra—Flow with nature, explore how you feel with openness.

Day 3: Solar Plexus—Find your center, confidence, and feel into your authenticity.

Day 4: Heart Chakra—Soften into belonging to yourself and your vision for your life.

Day 5: Throat Chakra—Use your Voice and call in your wholeness.

Day 6: Third Eye & Crown Chakra—See your vision and the world clearly, bridge realities.

Day 7: Travel Onward
