UNWOUND
A Myofascial Immersion in Costa Rica
May 1-7, 2026
Verdesana Retreat Center
The UNWOUND retreat is for the ones who have kept going… showing up, achieving, tending, even while carrying pain they can’t explain and tiredness they can’t shake.
It’s for those whose drive has gotten them far — but who are starting to feel the cost of always pushing through. Those whose hips ache, whose shoulders brace, whose necks stiffen — and who are ready to listen to what their bodies have been trying to say.
It’s for those who can feel something new stirring inside — a possibility they can’t quite name yet, but know they’re ready to meet. Those whose bodies carry not just memories, but wisdom — the kind of wisdom that can no longer be ignored.
You don’t need fixing. You don’t need another plan.
You need space — real, grounded, body-intelligent space — to listen to what’s already inside you and let your body unravel.
This is a true immersion.
Set within 100 acres of regenerated forest, Verdesana offers more than beauty — it offers refuge. Trails weave through native groves, gardens, and across quiet bridges, leading you to hidden riverbanks and bonfire clearings. Hummingbirds flash through the trees, while deer, coatis, and wild pigs pass unseen and felt.
Here, surrounded by the wild intelligence of the land, the body begins to soften, listen, and remember. Healing is not forced — it rises naturally when we finally step out of the current of mundane to-dos and come back to the pulse of the earth.
Expect to unplug from the outside world—and plug into something far older, deeper, and more alive and connected within you, your body, and your fascia.
What awaits you…
-
Deep change happens in small recognitions and embodied realizations.
-
Scars, trauma, patterns, and emotions — faced without bypassing or rushing.
-
Honoring that body-trust looks different for everyone, and building confidence in your body's language.
-
Learning the difference between true physical limits and the discomfort that precedes healing.
-
Recognizing that real listening sometimes means staying still, without shame or judgment.
-
Integrating sensation and subtle energy into one living, embodied knowing.
To truly heal or elevate past wounds and patterns, there comes a point when you have to unplug, not to escape, but to remember.

A note from Renie
You don’t need me to convince you. It’s that intuitive curiosity that has you reading this far. Something inside of you stirs... lean into that.
That inner rumble has a message for you. It wants to be heard.
The possibility of exploring your fascia, in the jungle of Costa Rica, with a group of willing participants who feel the same nudge as you, isn’t your everyday opportunity.
Bringing two+ decades of doing this work, seeing the transformations, witnessing the body on the other side of a release, harnessing the power of the group— this retreat is that, only different.
The group that joins will be willing to show up for themselves, ready to step up to hold space for the group, with eyes open to witness, hearts open to feel, with a desire to move through what no longer needs to be held.
I don’t take your consideration lightly. Please reach out with Q’s. And above all else check in with your intutitve knowing.
It will be my honor to bring this group through the eye of the needle.
