Why simply vacation, when you can ignite, thrive and shine? Firefly invites you to join us for our annual retreat in beautiful Costa Rica. This retreat is perfect for those who are feeling stressed-out, stuck, at a cross-road in life, or simply need a break. On this retreat, you will have the opportunity to reset, let go of anything that no longer serves you, and create plans for what you want to invite in next. When you unplug and slow down to allow yourself the time and space for self-care, you can truly connect with your sense of purpose, and develop a deeper connection to your passion.

TESTIMONIALS
"This was my first yoga retreat, and it was honestly a life-changing experience. I learned that retreats aren't necessarily about escaping your life. They're about temporarily removing yourself and entering a positive environment where you can nurture your body and mind, then take that renewed perspective and bring back healthy habits that you can incorporate into your life back at home. I continue to enjoy the benefits of my retreat, even after I've returned home."
"I literally just had one of the best weeks of my life! Thank you for your guidance and support throughout this journey! Thank you Thank you!!"

"Carrie - you are a true gem! Thank you for such a transformative experience!"
