GRACIAS AGUA
water inspired wellness
Discover your depths and flow with aquatic rhythms and tides. This is a space to connect with water as a source of joy, a therapeutic wellspring, a healing element, and a fountainhead for creativity. Hydrate your soul in the tropics!
Join heart centered sea sisters Erica Hartnick + Jodi Hall along with other water lovers and local facilitators at TISKITA jungle lodge for a liquid experience of a lifetime.
Set amidst lush tropical rainforest, overlooking the open Pacific ocean in one of the most biologically diverse places in the world, Southern Costa Rica is an ideal place for those looking to connect with the wonder of water. The region is filled with incredible wildlife, abundant crystalline springs, nutritious food, magical land, and sweet warm sea.
Through this journey, we will honor and explore waters in nature and our own internal waters. Let's share our reverence for water, dive deep, and flow + grow together. Water is life.
We will begin the afternoon of February 10th with an opening circle where we will connect with each other and the water. Together, we will collectively create a safe and supportive space with gratitude and intention.
