JOIN THE NEXT RETREAT

"I would highly recommend a retreat with Marysia for anyone who is ready to open themselves up and go deeper in experiencing an amazing connection to nature and to their inner self. Marysia weaves a magical web so that everyone feels included, supported, connected and loved. It was the trip of a lifetime for me to go to the rainforest in Costa Rica and is now one of my favorite memories to share with others. When sharing my experiences from the retreat and from the connections with the other wonderful people who also learn from her, I am reminded how grateful I am to her for holding such a safe space for all of us."

Chris Spencer
"Marysia did a beautiful job of holding sacred space for all of us. It was an amazing experience to be in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle at an eco resort, being served the most delicious vegan food I’ve ever had! This Sacred Wild Costa Rica retreat was truly an experience that I will never forget and it will continue to inspire me in my life moving forward and in my spiritual practice."

Cynthia Spencer
"The retreat with Marysia at Imiloa was life-changing. Marysia created a safe container where we got to connect with others and ourselves in a deep and beautiful way. Each day we worked with a different element, water earth fire and air - incorporating movement and breath. She introduced us to the tropical plants and shared ways that we can help to protect the land and rainforests. The pace of the retreat was so lovingly crafted to allow for deep learning as well as rest and integration of the lessons and healing we received. I am so grateful for the experience Marysia created for us - the memories and connections will stay with me forever."

Dezarae Carver
"I came to Marysia’s retreat on impulse, to fulfill a decades long dream of meeting tropical plants. As a student of the SOSW, I knew it would be an amazing experience. What I received, though, was life changing. Marysia’s ability to gracefully and lovingly hold space while also inviting deep, embodied, magical medicine into our open hearts is something I will forever be grateful for. Such a safe space for all of us to be held, witnessed, loved in our transformation. The connections woven among us will last a lifetime, I have no doubt. I have found my tribe at last. This has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life!"
