The unraveling, the being & the becoming
Women from all walks of life are invited into this sanctuary to reconnect with your wholeness and inner radiance.
So often she doesn't have the space to just be. Swept into the fast pace of daily tasks, repetitive actions, thinking and overthinking, working and over-working, giving and over-giving. Presence is fleeting, and deep down she knows there is more.
She finds joy and purpose in being there for others, but at times finds herself depleted, anxious, or disconnected from her own needs. Her body becomes a place of exhaustion and dysregulation, rather than the vibrant, empowered woman she knows she is.
This retreat offers a lived experience of reconnection to the intelligence of your body, the wellspring of your energy, and the wisdom of your inner knowing. Through slowness and softness, this is a space to unravel what you’ve been carrying, rest your nervous system, and reclaim your expression, creativity, and aliveness.
A space to notice how your body has been holding onto past experiences. And permission to gently unwind the armor you may have once needed, but now no longer serves you.
This is a journey of remembrance ~ of the bliss and vitality that already lives within your cells. And a pathway to discover a more authentic way of being, rooted in self-love and embodied truth.
Into the wild I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.
Location
The Edge of the World Retreat Center is nestled in the lush, fertile jungle of Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific region. Located in Lagunas de Barú, where jungle meets mountain, the property is just 10 minutes from the Pacific Ocean, wild beaches, the surf town of Dominical, and the renowned Nauyaca Waterfall.
Accommodation
Set on a spacious and serene property, the retreat features a main house with a stunning terrace devoted to practices and workshops. The main house offers 4 luxury private rooms, each with a king-size bed, private bathroom, and private balcony. Just steps away, a breezy two-bedroom casita offers a more rustic, open-air feel, with one room featuring a king-size bed and the other two single beds, along with a shared bathroom and kitchenette.
All rooms open to beautiful views of the surrounding trees and mountains. Each room may be reserved for one woman, or shared by two women who know one another prior to the retreat and feel comfortable sharing a king-size bed (at a reduced rate).
All retreat participants have exclusive access to a saltwater infinity pool, sauna, cold plunge, and outdoor bathtub throughout their stay.

Soul-nourishing, organic meals will be lovingly prepared each day using fresh, locally sourced produce, high-quality meats, and seasonal ingredients. Because our days will be filled with activating and embodied practices, meals are designed to be easy to digest, grounding, wholesome, and deeply nourishing, supporting your body, energy, and vitality throughout the retreat.
Each morning, fruit bowls, smoothies, herbal teas, and coffee will be available before practice, followed by a nourishing brunch with protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables.

Your Guides
Leah Barsher
Leah is a somatic, trauma-focused therapist, EMDR clinician, breathwork practitioner, and energy healer. She creates spaces of healing and reclamation ~ pathways that guide us back home to our body, breath, and soul. She has devoted the past decade to a deep personal journey of self-healing, self-love, and expanding her consciousness, and is here to share what she has learned along the way.
Leah’s work is a convergence of the many pathways that have brought both herself and others back to love, again and again. She weaves together somatic practices, parts work, inner child healing, movement, mindfulness, breathwork, tantric practices, and energetic medicine, grounded in a compassionate understanding of the nervous system and brain.
She believes healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about reconnecting with who we are beneath the pain of what happened. Transformation is not found in that single climactic moment during a breathwork journey or medicine ceremony, but in the ongoing, daily integration of bravely and vulnerably living from our truth.
Leah spent years traveling the world learning, studying, and leading transformational workshops, breathwork ceremonies, and private sessions. Her work, whether with individuals or groups, empowers people to source clarity, resilience, and freedom from within, and to walk their unique life paths deeply connected to their heart, soul, and higher purpose.
Leah does this work because she believes that when we truly embrace our authentic selves, we unlock the potential to transform the world through love.
Astara Rose
Rooted in the tantric somatic arts, Feminine Holistic movement, breathwork, sacred sexuality, womb healing, and the ancient wisdom of Himalayan Kriya Yoga, Astara curates immersive journeys that invite deep inner listening, softening, nourishment, creative expression, liberation, and reclamation.
Through her fusion of her “Radiant touch” signature bodywork, holistic movement, energy healing, dearmouring and meditative guidance, she creates a sanctuary for those ready to shed old limiting patterns and embody their authentic Radiant expression.
Her presence is both gentle, mothering, and powerful, offering a container where wounds unravel, nervous systems soften, and the body remembers its own sacred intelligence.
Her own healing path has been the catalyst for her studies. In 2014, a period of depression led her to meditation and yoga, igniting a search for deeper meaning and truth while traveling through New Zealand and Asia. 2 years later, a life-altering illness in India triggered a deep inner work and healing, and soon after she experienced a kundalini awakening, an immense recalibration of her nervous system took place, unloading deep seated stress, tears and a blissful encounter with the divine within her body. This profound experience reshaped her existence and set her on a path of devoted practice.
That mystical experience initiated her on a quest to study this divine intelligence through science, to know how to purify the energetic pathways of the body. And to explore this waking of life-force through devotional dance and tantra.
She encountered the yogic purification science of Kriya Yoga and Breathwork in Bali in 2020, committing to a year-long practice beside her teacher. It changed her life forever, her devoted practice has allowed her to free herself from traumatic memories, and strengthen her life-force, feeling the safety and radiance building within, and access states of profound clarity and bliss.
