Nosara Goddess Retreat Reviews
Wow! This trip has been so much fun. To start with, the house, Zona Azul, blew me away. I don't know what I was expecitng but our casa for the week was amazing - they thought of everything and every detail was beautiful and unique. I loved the hammocks on every floor and the location on the beach was perfect.
I loved taking walks/runs on the beach each morning and then stretching out in yoga. Lee Ann and Nicole, your classes were wonderful. You really tailored each class to how we were feeling that day and to all of our abilities. The daily breakfasts were definitely a highlight for me - healthy and nutritious fare that kept me full until lunch. Sarah, Matteo & DiLora were a delight.
Lee Ann, thank you for being such an excellent tour guide! The quad tour was the unexpected favorite. It was completely out of my comfort zone & I loved it! Paddleboarding and horseback riding are always fun, and even more so in Costa Rica:)
Lastly, I couldn't have asked for a better group of women to share a goddess retreat with. I've made friends that I hope to spend more time with and memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you for an amazing time in CR
Love,

This is my first time attending Goddess Retreat & I must say, I am so HAPPY that I came across Nicole's FB post about it! I've really enjoyed getting to know everyone! Everyone was so nice & easy to get along with. The dynamic and mix was perfect! I loved every excursion & experience. I loved eating breakfast & dinner with the group & then being able to have my own lunch and choose what I wanted to do throughout the day. I have been able to experience A LOT in Nosara.
This trip was magical & I loved every second of it. I'm sad tomorrow is our last day. Thanks for having me! I've had a blast!
PURA VIDA!

XO!
I am so thankful for this experience. You have provided me many opportunities to learn and grow - all in a perfect setting. I've made life long friends, rode a horse named tornado, and did yoga atop a mountain - just to name a few! It is evident just how much thought and preparation went into this dream goddess retreat! Thank you both for another great experience!

Does this have to end? There's not much more I can say other than this has been an incredible experience. Lee Ann & Nicole - you organized and planned amazing experiences. This group was wonderful & I feel we all added our own "spice" to it! What I loved? Waking up early with everyone for coffee & yoga. The ATV's were a blast. I love all wonderful photographs that capture everything. And this house......is this real life? America's. Next. Top. Goddess. Ha! I will cherish this 1st trip to Costa forever and say cheers to many more. Just existing here was phenomenal.

Lee Ann,
This is my first retreat and I feel so lucky and happy to have been able to come and share so many new and beautiful experiences with a group of fun, independent, beautiful women. I faced a lot of my fears (ATV's, horseback riding, etc) by learning to be present (my intention for the week) and it paid off wonderfully! It's really given me the confidence to tackle more firsts and fears. This retreat has been so special to me and I can't wait to come back and bring more women into it.
Thank you so much,
Ambrose
Best trip ever!!! The Vila was exquisite and the staff was phenomenal! Words don't do it justice. Lee Ann did an incredible job of planning unique and fun excursions that everyone could enjoy, and sharing all her "insider" tips for shopping, restaurants, etc. We never felt "overbooked" and everyone had the ability to create their own goddess experience. Will definitely look forward to making Nosara an annual tradition. Pura Vida.

Dear Lee Ann,
Where do I begin.....
A Last minute decision and how grateful I am to have the invitation! Such an amazing group of women doing challenging experiences with I truly enjoyed.....quad (wild!!), waterfall swimming, paddleboarding w/crocodiles, watermelon and coconut water on the beach, beautiful sunsets, dinners, delish breakfasts, walking everywhere!, wow shopping, YOGA!! and this gorgeous breathtaking house! Love seeing the dogs, monkeys & lizards!! Also the guitar on the beach was so much fun. Our gift bags were exciting to get from Lee Ann!
Thank you for this wonderful week - I learned from each person something special. Will always have a love from this trip and wonderful friends!
Love all of you goddesses!
Love,

Lee Ann,
Wow! I can't say enough about my experience, words can't do week justice. All the wonderful goddesses that I have gotten to know I hope to remain in touch with in the future. The house, location and food were perfect in every way; I feel blessed. The yoga was awesome, the teachers (including you) were super experienced, I would have liked longer than 1 hour for maybe a couple of the daily classes. I just didn't want them to end. The excursions you offered and I participated in were so fun! I can't wait for the next one whenever that may be.
Now for my birthday.... AMAZING! I can truly say I have never had such a nice day of birth in my 55 years. Thank you and all the goddesses for such memories! Pura Vida!!
Love to you always,
Joyce
