THE RESTORE AND RENEW RETREAT
Uvita, Costa Rica
April 20-April 26, 2025
Restore your vitality, renew your spirit.
A rejuvenating and soul-awakening retreat with Shelagh curran, RD, LDN, RYT
Your physical body is a gateway to your energetic body, holding all the wisdom you need. Your body is a divine vessel that directly connects you to your intuition and acts as a springboard for living an energized, authentic, inspired life. The more clearly you can hear your body, the more clearly you will hear your soul. Tap into the potential of the mind-body connection, and the sky’s the limit, my dear.
Welcome to the Restore and Renew Retreat, where we do just that. Spend the week nurturing and tuning into every part of you—body, mind, and soul. Nourish your body with nutritious meals, daily yoga, restorative, and somatic movement, and the energy of Pachamama. Your mind will be quieted with meditation and nervous system practices, and connection to nature and your body. You’ll feel empowered and confident in your body through wellness workshops and your spirit will be renewed with a deeper connection to your true essence, intuition, and inspiration for life.
I want you to feel more alive than ever before. Be more present in your life, connected to and empowered in your body. Have more energy than you did in high school, a fresh perspective on what’s possible for your life, and an unwavering confidence in your intuition and sense of self-trust.
This retreat will provide you with the tools and experiences to get your energy flowing, listen to and nurture your body, and connect with your soul and intuition. I am so beyond excited for a life-changing week in the jungle. Ready to restore and renew to step into your healthiest, most energized, and true self? Vamos a Costa Rica!
LOCATION: uvita, costa Rica
Our sanctuary retreat location is tucked away in the lush mountain jungle of Uvita, with hiking trails and waterfalls right on the property. Practice yoga and fall asleep to the ambiance of the jungle- the IRL version of nature sounds on Spotify (but way better).
Uvita has the best of both worlds - jungle, mountains, and ocean. We’ll beach it up at Parque Nacional Marino Ballena (Whale Tale Beach) and hike the famous Nauyaca waterfalls for a swim.
My time as a nomad has taught me that travel awakens a sense of presence that can only be accessed when you step outside of your everyday life. Immersing in another culture and environment can light up parts of you that you didn’t even know were there, sending you back home with a new vibrancy and excitement for each day.
This little sliver of Costa Rica has a special place in my heart. I was so lucky to call this land home for a few months in 2024 and will be returning for a few more in 2025! I’m so excited to show this amazing group of women such a magical corner of the world. Costa Rica is an energy vortex and I can’t think of a better spot to spend this transformative week.
THE JOURNEY
As you step into the portal of this retreat and restoration, you’ll release the weight, noise, and expectations of the outside world. This is your time to unplug, unravel, and reconnect with all that you are.
Our days will be filled with mindful practices, rituals, adventures, and ceremonies that will take you deeper into your connection to self, sense of grounding, and renewal.
Each experience- be it yoga in the jungle, nourishing meals crafted with local ingredients, workshops, somatic dancing, or intimate circles- will serve to elevate your spirit, renew your physical body, ignite your soul, and thread an unshakeable mind-body-spirit connection that you can carry forward long after the retreat has ended.

This isn’t just a retreat—it’s a homecoming.
Your physical health and body are a portal to the depths of your heart and soul. When you speak the language of your body and live from the neck-down, you access a deeper sense of touch with your intuition. You’ll return home from this retreat restored and with a stacked new set of tools to stay online with your body, regulated in your nervous system, and lead a connected, energized, and embodied life.
Meet your retreat host
Who I am: Hi, I’m Shelagh! I’m a holistic registered dietitian, somatic nutritionist, trauma-informed yoga teacher, and writer. I’m also a huge travel lover and have spent the last 2 years exploring the world as a digital nomad. Retreats allow me to integrate two of my passions, wellness and travel, as I slow down my lifestyle of full-time travel and start to grow some roots.
What I do: I combine nutrition counseling and health coaching with yoga, energetics, and other body-based somatic practices to provide women with the tools to regulate their nervous systems, balance their hormones, heal their relationships with food, and connect to their bodies. I have worked in the wellness space for the last 10 years, teaching individuals how to live an embodied life and connect to their authenticity and intuition through nutrition, movement, and mindfulness. My own experience with PCOS and disordered eating has led me down an incredibly fulfilling path in guiding others on their own health + spiritual journeys.
Some fun stuff:
Traveling the world was always my dream as a kid and I even had an “around-the-world fund”. I had my mom empty the account when I first went nomadic- I had a whopping $63 in there.
I was born and raised in the Greater Boston area and have 3 siblings- an older brother, an older sister, and a younger brother. We are all close in age and their names are just as Irish as mine.
I’m a Manifesting Generator, Enneagram 2w3, Taurus sun, Capricorn moon, and Virgo rising. The triple-earth-sign-energy definitely oozes out of me.
I am a huuuge water baby and you bet I’ll be right there with you diving into those cascadas on the retreat. I grew up as a swimmer and feel very at home in the water.

FAQs
What if I have food allergies or restrictions?
Our retreat chef can accommodate most allergies and intolerances. There will be an opportunity to submit any dietary needs prior to the retreat, but please also let Shelagh know upon registration.
What should I pack?
A packing list will be sent out 1-2 months before the retreat. We got you covered!
WHAT TYPE OF CURRENCY SHOULD I BRING?
Costa Rica uses Colones for their currency, but you can use USD most places. Almost everything is included in the retreat investment, but cash could be helpful to have on hand for tipping or if you want to buy anything from beach vendors, etc.
Is alcohol included?
The retreat center is a dry campus, so there are no alcoholic beverages on site.
what is required for travel?
All international retreaters will need a valid passport. There are no Visa requirements for US citizens to enter Costa Rica, but you may need to show an exit ticket out of the country when going through customs upon your arrival. If you are traveling from another country outside of the US, please check the visa requirements for your country.
what airport should I fly into?
San Jose Airport (SJO). We will organize airport pickup and transfer to the retreat center together.
where is the nearest store?
While the retreat center is tucked away in the jungle, we’ll be in the town of Uvita with plenty of stores, restaurants, pharmacies, etc.
READY FOR SOME IN-PERSON MAGIC?
I have tried for years to find the words for what retreats have done for my life and still have not been able to do it justice. I’ve also tried to explain the magic of Costa Rica, and have found that, too, goes beyond words. Whether this is your first retreat or your twentieth, you’re a seasoned yogi or a newbie, this will be a magical and powerful week. See you in the jungle?!
