I’ve been keeping a page in my journal just for this retreat. The paper is soft at the edges now, smudged with little notes and arrows—what I want you to feel when you arrive, the way the air rests on your skin, the kind of quiet that lets your shoulders fall. Last week I wrote one simple line and underlined it twice: It’s real. Registration is open. It felt like turning a key and opening a door I’ve been crafting with both hands for years. (March 29–April 4, 2026 • Uvita, Costa Rica.)

I’m writing this from a little café tucked off a cobblestone street, where the tables are close enough to overhear bits of strangers’ conversations, and the smell of fresh bread drifts in from the kitchen. My tea is still too hot to sip, so I’m just holding the cup between my hands, letting the warmth seep in. There’s a plate of something flaky and sweet between me and my notebook, and the server smiled when she set it down, like she knew I’d been waiting all morning for it.

This is the kind of setting that makes me think of Uvita. Not because it looks the same, it doesn’t, but because it gives me the same feeling. That deep exhale. That awareness of beauty in the smallest details. That gentle way time seems to soften around the edges.

When I picture us there together, I see a small circle gathered in a space filled with light and air that smells faintly of the sea. Noticing the way the breeze shifts, feeling the energy in our hands as we work, pausing to listen — to each other, to ourselves, to the quiet conversations of the land around us. There will be moments when laughter fills the room, and moments when silence feels like the truest thing to share.

The retreat isn’t about rushing through a checklist or ticking off hours of training. It’s about learning and receiving Usui Holy Fire® III Reiki Level I & II in a way that lets it live in you. It’s about giving yourself the space to integrate — not just the teachings, but the way you want to carry them forward when you go home.

I imagine us sitting over shared meals, lingering long after the plates are cleared, swapping stories and ideas as if we’ve known each other for years. I imagine someone taking their tea out to the terrace in the afternoon, letting the view of the ocean wrap around them while they write in their journal. I imagine the simple magic of being in a place that holds you without asking you to be anything but yourself.

Over our 7 days together in Uvita, you’ll receive your Usui Holy Fire® III Reiki

Level I & II Certification in a way that feels both soul-deep and restorative. Each day blends Reiki training with space to integrate — through nourishing meals, guided group experiences, time in the ocean and rainforest, and quiet moments for reflection. Designed to move you from “I learned this” to “I live this,” this retreat gives you the tools, confidence, and renewal to carry Reiki into your life long after you return home.

The circle will be small, and right now the door is open. Early savings are here, gentle payment plans are in place, and all it takes to hold your spot is a deposit. But more than that — all it takes is that little spark in your chest when something in you says, yes.

And maybe that’s the real beauty of this retreat — that long before we ever arrive, the connection begins. Somewhere between the first spark of yes and the moment our paths cross in Uvita, the story is already unfolding.

With Love,
