About this trip

This is your dynamic Sisterhood & Chocolate invitation from Amy Falk Weinberger, co-owner of Flō Retreat Center, along with co-host, colleague, and dear friend, Lorrie A. Brinson, and in collaboration with Dawn Jeffries and Alecia Cornelius, to join us for an all inclusive jungle retreat either as a solo traveler or with your girlfriend(s).  For 8-days/7-nights we gather together as sacred women of color to connect through the natural world, food, unity and the "pure vida" philosophy (gratitude, simplicity, and peace) of Costa Rica. 


Together we elevate the collective power of positivity and nature. This retreat is an opportunity to offer you the permission to live richly and to experience the extraordinary magic of the jungle. It is an investment in yourself.


Pura Vida, Amy, Lorrie, Dawn, & Alecia!

Itinerary

Day 1 - Meet Your Hosts
Saturday, August 2, 3025 -Arrival & Welcome Dinner @ Flō

Amy and Lorrie met in Sarasota, Florida via SRQ Strong’s Trauma Training with Helen Neal as both Amy and Lorrie were on their healing journeys from domestic violence. Since then they have weaved in and out of life together. Lorri is the founder of Victory Over Violence (2017), a liaison offering resources and education to survivors to help them walk in victory one day at a time. One year Lorrie surprised Amy and Helen with an award dedicated to those women who have broken the chain of domestic violence in their family. 

Amy is the co-founder of NAMI The Lean on Me Project (2019) that serves local elementary and middle schools with leadership and creativity education that promotes confidence and a “can do“ perspective. 

Together, Amy and Lorrie have created a dynamic week that elevates the body, mind, soul, and sisterhood in the beautiful nature of Costa Rica. See you at Flō Retreat Center!

Pura Vida,

Amy & Lorrie
