The Embodied Woman
Mastery Retreat
November 1 - 6, 2026 in Nosara, Costa Rica
Join Brea Segger and Myranda Simpson for their acclaimed six-day mastery retreat curated for leaders, professionals, therapists, coaches, and guides.
There comes a point when life no longer feels quite the way it once did.
You've built a life that matters. You've taken on responsibility. You've cared deeply for the people around you.
Nothing may have changed that anyone else would notice.
Yet you're no longer meeting your life in quite the same way.
The Embodied Woman is six days away from the pace of everyday life, not to escape it, but to return to it differently.
Women don't leave with someone else's answers.
They leave trusting their own experience more than when they arrived.
What
Women
Tell Us
By the end of the retreat, women often tell us their lives feel completely different.
Sometimes that's because something in their life has changed. They've made a decision, had a conversation they'd been postponing, or found the courage to move in a different direction.
Just as often, they return to the same life.
Only now there's more space in it.
More space before reacting.
More space before saying yes.
More space to hear themselves before everyone else's expectations.
It's remarkable how often the first thing women say is simply,
"I can breathe again."
Who is This Retreat for?
Most of the women who come have already done a great deal of work on themselves.
They've questioned old patterns, had difficult conversations, and experienced moments when they knew exactly what felt right for them.
The challenge isn't a lack of insight.
It's that everyday life has a way of gathering speed.
Responsibilities accumulate. The people they love need them. Work asks more of them. Decisions keep coming. Before long, they find themselves responding to the pace of life rather than to what they know is true.
One of the things I've noticed over the years is that women begin letting the pace of their lives make too many of their decisions.
Not because they've chosen to.
Because it happens so gradually they hardly notice it.
This retreat is an opportunity to step out of that pace for a few days.
Long enough to remember what it feels like when your decisions come from somewhere else.

ONE: Honest Self Inquiry
Most women arrive carrying more than they realise.Not only responsibilities, but the pace they've been living at. The first few days aren't about solving anything. They're about allowing your nervous system enough room to settle that you can begin noticing yourself again.

TWO: Body Wisdom
You will partake in NINE WORKSHOPS with Brea & Myranda throughout the retreat. Individual private sessions (included in cost) are also available & encouraged as needed.
__________________________
Not everything shaping our lives lives in thought.Throughout the retreat we'll work with the body as an important source of information. Often it notices tension, certainty, hesitation, and truth long before the mind has found language for them.
Learning to pay attention to those signals changes the way many women begin moving through their lives.

THREE: Living From Knowing
One of the things we’ve noticed over the years is that the pace of our lives quietly begins making too many of our decisions.
We respond before we've really had time to listen. We say yes because life keeps moving. We postpone conversations because there's always something more urgent.
_________________________
Through advanced techniques, you will cultivate the skill to energetically attune to both yourself and others, allowing you to guide transformations with precision and integrity. As a professional, this ability will enhance your capacity to create safe, harmonious spaces for your clients, enabling them to experience deeper healing and alignment. You’ll become adept at reading and navigating energetic landscapes, ensuring that your practice is grounded in clarity, presence, and awareness.

FOUR: Going Home
Our journey doesn’t end after our week together.
Each participant will receive 3 weeks of continuous individual mentoring with both Brea & Myranda that includes:
ONE: 1:1 Private ongoing individual support from both Brea & Myranda for 3 weeks post-retreat.TWO: 2 virtual group meetings following the retreat.
THREE:A private group chatso that participants can always stay in touch with each other and with Brea & Myranda.
Daily Overview
Our days are intentionally spacious. While there is meaningful structure and guidance throughout the retreat, there is also time to rest, experience private sessions with Brea & Myranda, reflect, connect, and simply be.
Day 1: Arrival
Theme: Slowing Down
Most women arrive carrying more than they realize. Work, family, relationships, and responsibility have a way of filling every corner of life until there is very little room left simply to notice how you're doing.
The first day is an opportunity to step out of that pace. There is nothing to accomplish here and no one to take care of. We'll settle into the retreat, connect as a group, and begin creating the conditions for the days ahead.
Day 2: Heart Journey
Theme: Hearing Yourself More Clearly
At the heart of the retreat is a full-day ceremonial heart journey.
With decades of combined experience supporting individuals through meaningful life transitions, Brea and Myranda guide this experience with care, presence, and deep respect for each woman's individual process. Participants are thoughtfully prepared beforehand and supported throughout the journey.
When the usual pace of life falls away, many women begin noticing what has been waiting for their attention. This day isn't about becoming someone different. It's an opportunity to stay with your own experience long enough for something important to become clearer.
Day 3: What You're Carrying
Theme: Returning to Yourself
By the third day, the conversations often become more honest.
Together we'll explore the roles, responsibilities, expectations, and patterns you've been carrying, and whether they still belong in the life you're living now. Some may no longer fit. Others may simply ask for a different relationship.
The work isn't to force change. It's to notice what you've been carrying and decide, with honesty, what still feels true.
Day 4: Living From What You Know
Theme: Trusting Your Own Experience
Many women have experienced moments when they knew exactly what felt right for them.
The challenge is rarely that those moments never existed. It's that everyday life has a way of pulling us away from them.
This day is devoted to exploring what changes when you begin making decisions from what you already know instead of continually looking outside yourself for reassurance.
Day 5: Bringing It Into Life
Theme: Ordinary Life
The conversations we've had throughout the week begin meeting the realities of everyday life.
We'll explore what it looks like to bring what you've experienced into your relationships, your work, your family, and the ordinary moments that shape your days. Lasting change rarely comes from one profound experience. It grows through the choices we make once we're home.
Day 6: Returning
Theme: Living What You've Remembered
The retreat may be coming to an end, but your life is waiting for you.
Before leaving, we'll spend time exploring how what you've experienced can find its place in everyday life. Your support continues through post-retreat integration sessions and three weeks of private guidance, giving you space to continue the conversation as you settle back into your own life.

You can fly direct from many cities in North America and Europe to Juan Santamaria International Airport in San Jose (SJO), in the center of Costa Rica, or Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport in Liberia (LIR), in Guanacaste province, closer to the Pacific Ocean. We recommend flying into Liberia (LIR) as it’s closer than SJO.
Liberia Airport (LIR) is the nearest International airport to Nosara; by car it takes about 2.5-hours. The journey from San Jose Airport (SJO) by car takes about 5.5 hours. Connecting flights into Nosara are available from both airports, however, they only provide limited timing options.
If you choose to fly directly into Nosara from either airport, Sansa or Costa Rica Green Airways offers daily flights. Charter flights and helicopters to Nosara airport are also available upon request. Flying is a fantastic way to enjoy the incredible scenery of the coast, mountains, and jungle.
There are several options when traveling from San Jose (SJO) or Liberia (LIR) airport to Nosara:
Airport Shuttle To Nosara
Airport van services to Nosara are the most used. They are comfortable, reliable, and can run at any time of the day or night. We recommend booking directly with TerraTour. We have had no issues with reliability. They also provide more affordable shuttles when using their ‘shared’ shuttles versus ‘private’ shuttles.
Car Rental
Car rentals are available at both the San Jose (SJO) and Liberia (LIR) airports. Rental cars are also available in Nosara.
You can rent ATVs, golf carts, and even cars if you prefer to explore other places around Nosara. Car rental companies such as Alamo and Enterprise have offices in town.
The roads are generally in fairly good condition. However, once you get close to Nosara, they are not well maintained and can provide challenges, particularly if driving at night or on rainy days.
Whatever your preferred method of transportation, getting to Nosara is an adventure.
