Take a deep breath and picture yourself sitting by the pool relaxing without a worry or care in the world. Knowing that this is your time and there’s plenty of it. Feeling connected with yourself, your heart and your joy.
Imagine…starting your day watching the sun rise or sleep in. Your choice. This is a great time to journal, meditate and set intentions.
Follow this with a peaceful morning yoga practice to connect with your breath and body through mindful movement and pranayama (breathwork).
Lots of time to sit, reflect, journal and breathe…and listen to your heart, your quiet thoughts, the jungle sounds, the ocean. Or join others in surfing lessons, hiking and other fun activities all available to you should you wish.
Tap into your inner goddess spirit and harness the energy of the divine feminine through ritual, connection and sacred dance.
Feel your heart open and sing with joy as you give yourself the gift of retreating into the jungle and yourself. Reconnect with your spirit, your voice and your love. Rejoice as you awaken to what is possible for you and leave with Renewed passion for life and connection with your heart and soul.
Experience what it feels like to let go…to surrender. Discover the tools you need to stay connected at home. Awaken to the beauty within you as you retreat to Costa Rica and the Rising Moon Retreat.
There is something about the jungle sounds and being near the ocean that opens your heart and gives you access to your soul. The jungle of Costa Rica is calling you home to you.
Imagine...
..having time...
...to do what YOU want to do even if that's nothing at all.
We invite you to join us in Nosara, Costa Rica at Casas Kismet.
February 20-27th, 2027
Retreat
Retreat away from distraction, busyness and obligations to anything other than you. Because this is a retreat for women only, we feel safe, held and our combined feminine energy shows up more powerfully and expands us all. Whether you are joining us to have some fun, experience something new, to heal, or find some peace and quiet or all of the above, this place, the jungle and pacific ocean is waiting for you to do exactly that.
Reconnect
With nature, your heart, your soul and a sisterhood of women that will love you, support you way beyond our week together.
Find the time and space to reconnect with your prana (life force energy) and learn how it flows through you and where it might be getting stuck. Each day we will focus on different practices and learnings so we can take in the wisdom of nature, ancestry and from each other as we go on this journey together. Enjoy connecting with your Rising Moon Sisters as we support and share with each other.
Rejoice
Rejoice in this gift of time you have given yourself to sit, to be and do what you feel called to do. Enjoy the ease of new friendships and feel the lightness within that comes from you loving you.
Give yourself this gift of indulgence because you deserve it and join us for a week of rest, relaxation, mindfulness, meditation, movement and celebration of you and our sisterhood.
Renew
your commitment to yourself and your future happiness and healing. Head home feeling lighter, excited and full of love for yourself and life. You know where to go and what to do now.
Simply close your eyes and hear the ocean, feel the tropical air and connect with all of us in your heart. Maybe a quick "weeheyyyaa" and you will be right back here knowing you have the wisdom and the tools to live a life that feels in tune with your inner rhythm.
Are you wondering if this retreat is right for you?

One night while we are there we will head into town and enjoy a local restaurant and give the staff at Casas Kismet a break.
I have heard wonderful things about the local restaurants and am looking forward to our night out together partaking in the local culture and cuisine.

YOUR RETREAT LEADER
~ Elisabeth Parsons, Retreat Founder & Curator
Hello future Rising Moon Sister,
I am so pleased you are here and considering a retreat in Italy with me.
I’ve spent over 20 years working in the field of women’s health, wellness, and self-care. I founded Fit4You in 2000 to help women feel strong and empowered in their bodies. After presenting at international conferences and teaching health and fitness professionals for over a decade, I shifted my focus to supporting women through separation and divorce. To best serve my clients I use a combination of traditional talk coaching and spiritual practices to guide clients through this challenging time in their lives.
To serve you better, I’ve become Reiki attuned and certified as well as a Breath and Meditation Coach with Escape Haven, earned an Energy Healing Certificate from the Academy of Energy Healing, and completed Restorative Yoga teacher training at Sarovara Yoga.
I believe every woman can heal herself and create the life she deserves, beginning with self-care, self-discovery, and self-love. This philosophy is at the heart of the Rising Moon Sisters Retreats, which I currently run in Costa Rica, Europe, and Canada.
My open-mindedness, flexibility, and passion have supported and inspired thousands of women through coaching, memberships, online courses, and retreats.
I’m a proud mother of four adult sons, remarried to Glen, and a stepmom to three. I’m also the happy mom of my forever puppy, Finnigan. My favourite pastimes include spiritual practices, continuous learning, reading, mountain biking, skiing, spending time with family and friends, and watching the sun and moon rise and set.
I can’t wait to take you on a life-changing journey at one of my upcoming retreats.
Yours in healing and light,
Elisabeth xo
