In Midlife by Design we invite you to step into a journey of deep renewal, clarity, and sisterhood. Welcome to a holistic retreat experience designed to help you reconnect with your true self and boldly embrace what’s next. This isn’t just a six-day escape to the Costa Rican jungle; it’s a wraparound experience with virtual sessions before and after the retreat to ensure lasting support.
Join us and rediscover the untamed, powerful wild woman within.
Designed by nature. Guided by wisdom. Fueled by sisterhood. We are wild women by design.
Do I need to have a knowledge base of Human Design, Elements, Yoga or Women's cycles?
No, we are here to guide, support and educate you on all of these topics and more throughout our time together.
What if I miss or am unable to attend a LIVE training session?
No worries we got you covered. We will record each session and share a link with you to review it at your convenience. The main content will be here for you, however It is highly advised to attend LIVE when possible as group interactions cannot be replicated in the recordings.
What are the accommodation options? Imiloa is situated in the Jungle overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Dominical Costa Rica. When booking you may choose between handcrafted Bali homes & suites, open air Jungle Bungalows and Geodesic River Domes. Scroll down to view images of each of the room styles to select the one that resonates with your soul.
What is the food like? Exquisite! You will feast on 3 gourmet plant-based meals per day and all snacks are included as well. For those who cannot do without a caffeine rush, there is an espresso and coffee machine along with availability of fruit smoothies.
What if I have food allergies? Just inform us through the intake form upon registering and we will notify the chef to make plans to accommodate any allergies you may have.
Why is this venue special when compared to other retreats? Imiloa is indeed, a special place. The work we have to do is special work. You are on a special journey. We chose Imiloa because in their words, it's a place where, "the magic of exploration meets the heart of transformation as you reconnect with nature and yourself. When you arrive at Imiloa, you quickly recognize that it's not just a place, It's the feeling of community, support, nourishment and love and it lives within all of us who have been touched by it."
Is there wheelchair access? Unfortunately, there is no wheelchair access or transportation within the property due to the fact that it is in the mountains, so if you have any mobility issues, this may not be for you.
Do I have to pay it all at once? No you do not. Your payments can be paid in full or split into 2 installments. Reach out to info@soulsynarchy.com if you need other options.
Why do we need to arrive a day early & stay overnight in San Jose? Our retreat experience begins together on March 29th where we all travel together in a private plane to our Imiloa oasis. The plane leaves early in the morning, so arrival in San Jose the day before will ensure that everyone leaves together and we can maximize our time on retreat. You will have already met other participants online, so it will be exciting to start connecting on Friday evening!
