Retreat: Returning to Source

14 – 21 November 2026

Blue Spirit, Costa Rica

Come home to the presence, peace, and love that you truly are.

Over 7 nights and 8 days, you’ll be held in a deeply sacred, safe space with Natalie, the Angels, and her dedicated team as you gently shed layers, dissolve old patterns, and remember your inner wisdom and light.

This is a time to step away from the noise of everyday life, to unwind completely, and to return to Source in your own unique way.

What is “Returning to Source”?

 

Returning to Source is returning to presence.

It is always here, in this moment, yet we often lose touch with it through mental programming, work, daily responsibilities, and distractions. During this retreat you are invited to:

  • Leave your routines and “programs” behind
  • Rest into a field of oneness, love, and inner peace
  • Experience energetic expansion and powerful “Ah-ha” moments
  • Deepen your connection to your soul, your angels and guides
  • Remember who you truly are beneath the stories of the mind

Throughout the week, you may experience deep healing, clarity, and connection; both with yourself and with others walking a similar path.

Your Retreat Home: Blue Spirit, Costa Rica

Venue: Blue Spirit, Nosara

Blue Spirit is a renowned yoga and meditation retreat center located in Nosara, on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Perched on a hilltop overlooking the ocean and a three-mile white sand beach (a protected turtle refuge), Blue Spirit offers the perfect environment for deep inner work.

Your Itinerary

 

Saturday 14 November – Day 1: Landing
Arrive at Blue Spirit, settle into your room, and meet the land and the community. In the evening, we’ll gather for a sacred opening circle followed by dinner. This is a space to share, set your intentions, and energetically land.


Sunday 15 November – Day 2: Connecting (Heart Opening)
A day devoted to connection through the heart. For some, this may mean deepening your connection to your soul. For others, connecting more clearly with your angels and guides. Whether it’s with yourself or with others, this is a heart-opening day.


Monday 16 November – Day 3: Understanding (Mind Expansion)
The flower opens and the mind expands. On this day, we go deeper into the understanding and lived experience of spiritual awakening.


Tuesday 17 November – Day 4: Surrendering (Through the Polarity into Presence)
Surrender is the opposite of control. As we explore this polarity, you remember what you truly are. The mind seeks control because it doesn’t trust. This day supports you to expand from a mind-based life into a Conscious life, with deeper intuition, channeling, and inner guidance emerging through the dissolving of patterns and shedding of layers.


Wednesday 18 November – Day 5: Uncovering
Uncovering the truth beneath the mind, programs, and patterns. You’ll be guided to develop a new, embodied practice of presence.


Thursday 19 November – Day 6: Expanding
Coming back to Source. Resting in the silence between thoughts and objects; the space between doing and thinking. A day to deepen your connection to Consciousness.


Friday 20 November – Day 7: Integrating
Bringing it all together. We integrate your experiences, set intentions for continued growth, and close with a sacred closing circle.


Saturday 21 November – Day 8: Flying
A loving final ceremony followed by breakfast. You’ll depart nourished, expanded, and more anchored in your own Source.
