Play, adventure, and Pura Vida in Costa Rica—waterfalls, wildlife, spa time, and plenty of space to laugh, explore, and just enjoy being together.
Costa Rica June 20-June 24, 2026
The Experience
5 days to remember who you are – together.
A lifetime of connection, courage, and stories you’ll talk about for years.
5 days to remember who you are – together.
A lifetime of connection, courage, and stories you’ll talk about for years.
This retreat is for women duos—mom/daughter, sisters, or best friends—who want to step away from everyday life and reconnect through laughter, adventure, and soul-level conversation. For 5 days and 4 nights, you’ll call Hotel Finca 360 home—a boutique eco-hotel set in the lush hills of Venecia, Alajuela, surrounded by waterfalls, volcano views, and tropical forest.
Each day blends gentle movement and mindfulness, playful exploration of Costa Rica’s wild beauty, adventure, and unhurried time together to actually talk, laugh, and just be together. You’ll hike to blue pools and waterfalls, visit an organic farm, savor a private cooking class with local ingredients, create keepsakes in a jewelry-making workshop, and (if you choose) soar through the canopy on an optional zip line adventure.
You’ll laugh, explore, and reconnect in ways that feel light, real, and unforgettable—leaving with shared stories, inside jokes, and a deeper bond, all wrapped in the magic of Pura Vida.
The Highlights
What You'll Come Home With...
Shared memories you’ll talk about for years —
laughing over dinner, swimming in blue pools, and navigating a new country side by side
The thrill of doing brave things together —
from zip lining (optional!) to waterfall hikes and trying new experiences outside your comfort zones
A renewed sense of play and adventure —
feeling lighter, more spontaneous, and more willing to say “yes” to fun in everyday life
Deeper connection and easier communication —
real conversations, better listening, and a clearer sense of who you both are now
An anchor you can return to —
a shared experience that reminds you both what matters most when life gets busy again

The Itinerary
DAY 1: Arrive, Ground, & Create
Arrive as a group to Hotel Finca 360. Settle into your room, breathe in the mountain air, and explore the incredible property and gardens.
In the late afternoon, we’ll gather for a welcome happy hour + intention setting and a playful jewelry-making session to kick things off as we get to know each other.
We’ll close the day with a gentle yoga practice and sound bowls to recalibrate after traveling so we can ease into retreat mode grounded and centered.
DAY 2: Farm-to-Table & Pura Vida Living
After a fun morning movement session and mindful breakfast, we’re off to explore at Finca Ecoorganica Sarapiquí for a unique look at the traditional crops that have shaped Costa Rican culture…pineapple, coffee, cacao, bananas.
Back at Finca 360, we’ll enjoy some relaxed downtime – massages, naps, journaling, swimming or chatting on the terrace—followed by a Group Circle to deepen connection and share stories. Dinner and time under the stars.
DAY 3: Adventure, Shopping & Hot Springs
We begin with partner challenge in our morning movement practice and follow that up with a yummy breakfast overlooking the rainforest. Then adventurous pairs can choose optional zip-lining, while others explore at their own pace (your choice).
Then we’ll head into La Fortuna for lunch and a little shopping in this vibrant Costa Rican town. Then we’ll soak in natural hot springs to relax, regenerate, and let the day’s adventure land in your body. We’ll enjoy dinner out before returning to Finca 360 for a quiet, restful night.
DAY 4: Waterfalls, Wonder & Celebration
We’ll begin with a mobility & activation in the morning and then set off for a waterfall hike and swim at The Blue Falls—home to the most unique blue waterfall experience in Costa Rica…A chance to play, swim, and soak up the power of the water.
Back at Finca 360, you’ll have time to relax, rest, get a massage, etc.. before our Closing Celebration Circle, where you’ll reflect on what you’re taking home and how you want to stay connected. We’ll share a final dinner together and celebrate the memories you’ve created… and perhaps even a little dancing.
DAY 5: Integration & Departure
On our final morning, we’ll enjoy a light breakfast, a short stretch + grounding practice, and space for last photos and hugs. Then we’ll travel together back to SJO airport for departures.
You’ll leave with smiling faces, full hearts, and a new chapter written in your soul.
MEET YOUR GUIDES
Derith "Coach D." Avila
I’m Derith — but most people know me as Coach D. I’m a women’s wellness coach, retreat guide, and founder of FIERCE by Choice, a movement rooted in helping women fiercely love the skin they’re in through strength, self-care, and soul connection. At its heart, FIERCE is about choosing yourself, every single day — having the courage to step into your truth, your power, and your next season with intention.
Costa Rica holds a very special place in my heart. This will be my third time at Finca 360, and our group was actually Rosie’s very first retreat there. I’ve known Rosie for over 20 years — back when she was teaching belly dance in our group fitness program in Texas and lighting up the studio with joy, laughter, and so much life. Coming back to this land with moms and daughters, aunts and nieces, sisters, and best-friend duos feels like coming full circle.
After losing my own mom, Lee, to cancer in 2019, it became more clear than ever just how sacred the relationship between two women can be — especially when one has poured into and shaped the other. My mom was the first FIERCE woman I ever knew — strong, loving, imperfect, and brave — and so much of what I teach now is rooted in the lessons I learned from her and from the women who’ve loved me along the way.
I’ve been coaching for over 25 years, guiding women to create lives filled with purpose, confidence, and vitality. I’ve led thousands of fitness classes, coached habit and lifestyle shifts, and hosted retreats that help women remember who they are beneath the noise. My coaching blends movement, mindset, and meaning — with equal parts humor, truth-telling, and heart. You won’t find quick fixes here, just real conversations, aligned action, and space to show up exactly as you are.
This Costa Rica retreat is an invitation for two women — mother–daughter, aunt–niece, sisters, or soul-friend duos — to step out of “everyday busy,” share an adventure you’ll both remember forever, and strengthen a bond that truly matters. I can’t wait to welcome you — and walk alongside you — in Costa Rica.
I’m here to answer any questions you have. Please reach out at any time. ~ D. xo
