A 7-Day Oceanside Retreat in Nosara, Costa Rica
April 3–10, 2027
This retreat is a thoughtful collaboration between myself and Lisa Jane White — a beautiful soul who has led over 20 retreats at the extraordinary Blue Spirit, a world-class yoga and meditation centre in Nosara, Costa Rica.
Together we have curated an itinerary that weaves Lisa’s decades of wise teachings in yoga, meditation, philosophy and embodiment with my offerings of breath, fascia, self enquiry and nervous system regulation.
This retreat fosters connection, deep healing, laughter + lightness. It is for all levels, men and women — come on your own or with a friend.
Blue Spirit sits on a hilltop overlooking the Pacific, with a private path down to a 3km white sand beach protected as a turtle refuge — incredible for ocean swimming, walking, running and exploring tide pools.
This time is for YOU. Do exactly as you like. Come to all the classes — or pick and choose. Walk into Guiones, a gorgeous town to wander, surf, or sip smoothies at our favourite Harmony Cafe. Or choose to rest and read by the salt water pool back at Blue Spirit.
Enjoy the private Spa + Healing Centre, where you can book massage, cranial sacral, reiki, astrology and shamanic healing treatments. Explore the Longevity Center — ozone therapy, vitamin infusions and more.

Let us meet you where you are, growing & exploring together. With two or more practices a day, Kirtan, Healing Crystal Bowl Sound Journey, & and optional Heart Opening Plant Medicine Journey midweek, this Spring Renewal Retreat is designed to clear, align and ignite, with a view to embody and radiate, the love, unity, abundance, interdependence and justice, we all want to see in our world.
Blue Spirit is the kind of place that asks you to slow down the moment you arrive. Each room is a sanctuary. If you aren’t booking solo and don’t already have a roommate in mind, we can pair you thoughtfully with another beautiful soul who is saying yes alongside you.

I have been practicing since 1995. The practice has changed my life. It has led me to see and recognize that everything is connected and interdependent -Unity Consciousness. Like the acorn becomes the oak tree, and the hummingbirds somehow find their way, we too are unfolding, guided by Creator, according to a plan so extraordinary and divine, we can’t even imagine it!
In my teaching I work with energy, sound, movement, touch and the powerful frequencies of the cosmos; earth, sun, moon, stars, water – Unity Consciousness. My hope is that my classes encourage fluidity, intuition, freedom and joy, in your body, mind and soul. With a view to remembering the sacred oneness and divinity of all that is, and inviting this frequency of oneness to guide us to our dharma, our service, and the aligned action that we are here to offer to the world.
I lead numerous retreats and workshops throughout the year, in Canada and abroad. My greatest teachers are my students and Creator. I gratefully divide my time between two of the most glorious places on this planet, Muskoka, Canada & Nosara, Costa Rica.
I love the magic of women coming together — and part of my gift is creating the space and holding the energy of what wants to come through in those moments.
I believe women have an expanding role in what’s happening in the world right now. We are potent communicators, extraordinary energy weavers, powerful intuits and lovers-with-our-whole-hearts.
We matter. A lot.
And our job is to remember exactly who we are — as we walk the path to becoming our most liberated, grounded, expansive selves.
When I’m not leading retreats around the globe, privately mentoring a small group of fabulous women, or teaching yoga and facilitating breathwork — you’ll find me up the mountain, down the ski slopes, or jumping into an alpine lake somewhere above Nelson, BC. I live here with my husband Paul, our dog Bodhi, and the beautiful privilege of our blended family of four adult children. I’m also a retired Chiropractor, an Acute Integrative Homeopathic Practitioner, and the Founder of Breathe Into Being — a breathwork membership for women who are aligning their breath and awakening their potential.
I, like you, am committed to what matters — and so far that’s meant letting go of the stories and beliefs that no longer have space in my life so that my life reflects what’s in my heart and soul.
If we know each other already — hello again. If we’ve yet to meet, I’m grateful you’ve found your way here.
I hope you’ll join us.
The retreat begins with dinner on Saturday, April 3rd, 2027 and concludes with breakfast on Saturday, April 10th, 2027. Plan to arrive April 3rd and depart April 10th.
Most guests fly into Liberia (LIR).
If you are landing in Liberia on Saturday, there will be a group shuttle offered by Blue Spirit. Blue Spirit also sends private cars for airport pickup on Saturdays only — both can be booked through their Shuttle Reservations (the booking window opens 30 days before our retreat date).
If you arrive on another day or prefer a private car from the airport to Blue Spirit, you can reserve both with Nosara Shuttle.
Some people prefer to land in Liberia and then take Sansa Airways or Costa Rica Green Airways hopper to Nosara airport. Once you land at the airport there will be taxis for hire.
Absolutely. We recommend Sunset Shack Hotel (easy, close, cozy) or Harmony Hotel (luxury, serenity). Both are a short 3-minute walk from the beach in Guiones and will arrange airport transfers.
Delicious gourmet local and healthy Vegetarian, Vegan & Pescatarian cuisine, plus coffee/tea and juices (locally sourced!)
Not required, but strongly recommended — health, travel and cancellation coverage.
Yes. All levels are welcome, men and women, solo or with a friend. You can come to every practice or pick and choose what calls to you.
The deposit is non-refundable, but it is transferable to another retreat.
Perfect! Let’s begin the process with an email to Laura Foster at drlaurafoster@gmail.com.
There’s something that happens when you give yourself real time and space. Not a weekend. Not a quick reset. A full, intentional week where the only thing asked of you is to arrive — and stay. This is what we are here to support – You.”
This retreat is intentional, special, and intimate. We’re looking forward to opening the doors to those who are ready for connection, deep healing, laughter, and lightness.
