Coming Home I Costa Rica Retreat

This retreat has been carefully and heartfully curated from start to finish to provide you with the safety, support, and magic required to heal at the deepest level.

I am so humbled and honored to be sharing these sacred lands that are so dear to my heart and have played such a major part in my own healing. After losing my beloved partner, Ryan, to his battle with anxiety and depression (unresolved trauma), I took the time and gave myself the space required to deeply grieve, feel and process the pain of his passing and the loss of the life we shared.

One year after his death, I embarked on my own personal journey of healing, ready to rise again. Holos Global was the place I landed and where I felt myself come back home! It is a heartfelt dream and honor to be guiding a group of special souls and sharing this sacred land with the prayer that you find a piece of yourself here that you didn’t even know you were looking for <3

Your life, YOU, are a sacred and precious gift! This retreat is my lovesong to my beloved, Ryan + an offering to all beings who suffer here on Earth. Let our lives, lived well, be our greatest offering. Let us remember the sacred ones that we are!

The time to awaken and experience your inner good is now! Let us come together on the healing and holy land of Holos in the Diamante Valley of Costa Rica- one of the most biodiverse countries in the world- for an absolutely, undeniably epic journey of remembering and reconnecting to the Sacredness and celebration of who we are!

For six days and five nights we will be held, nourished and nurtured in body, heart, and spirit as we do our inner work. The flow of the retreat is designed with easeful transformation in mind. A perfect blend of deep inner work and PLAY!

Upon arrival you are invited to acclimate gently- allowing the bodies systems to slowly attune to the land, the group, and the experience. You will have time to settle in, nourish yourself with some fresh snacks, and our first group journey to the waterfalls for a cleansing ritual as a way to offer our hearts to the lands that will hold us as we do our deep and sacred soul work in the week ahead. Before we are lulled and healed by a transformational sound healing session by local sound guide, we will be nourished with our first of many delicious meals. We will have time to connect and enjoy our first meal in the company of our soul tribe. Finishing our day with the dreamiest of sound baths that will have us floating on a cloud so we can drop into the deepest sleep and wake up for our first full day together well rested and rejuvenated!

The flow of our full days together will follow a schedule of early awakening and silent tea ceremony with group journaling and morning sharing circles. Deliciously filling and nutrient dense breakfast, waterfall journey, lunch, somatic skills + processing group, movement, dinner, and evening activity. The day of our medicine ceremony will follow a slightly different flow. The days themes are as follows: arrive gently, get curious, feel to heal, release, celebrate life, and reemerge.

The intention for our time together is to offer an experience that allows each participant to remember and reconnect with a piece of their soul that had been exiled, forgotten about, or fragmented- and therefore allowing each soul to embody a deep understanding of the Light and goodness that they are, and their sacred interconnection with this life and the world around them. When we embody this understanding- it moves from the head to the heart- an idea or concept that was intellectually understood becomes known, and once that happens we can never be he same. This is the change we wish to see in the world- this is how we BE THE CHANGE! We have to experience and embody it first! And, when we deeply know that we BELONG to the world, the Earth, to each other, the way that we show up changes. We experience less fear, we hold less back, we let our light shine brighter, and we do better because we know better!

If you are feeling the call, the invitation is to trust it and take the leap!

A portion of profits will go to the Ryan DeBaun Memorial fund to support young adults experiencing financial difficulties in getting the mental health help they need <3 More information on Ryan’s fund can be found here.

Evening Tea Ceremony
May
13

Evening Tea Ceremony

This ceremony is open to men and women

Tea Ceremony is a gentle and meditative practice that is for everyone! Now, more than ever, we need moments of pause, where we are free from our screens, the demands of the outer world and all of our responsibilities, and the 10,000 distractions that pull for our attention. Intentional times of stillness are vital for our personal wellbeing- as without them our inner voice- our truth, our needs, our dreams- can get buried and go unnoticed. This quieting and distancing from that inner voice can really cause our view of life to become very narrow and have us believing that we are alone. Through the space that Tea creates we are able to take a deep breath and getting a clearer perspective, often one that is filled with gratitude, around what’s present for us in our lives. Each sit is like a gentle, welcome, and much needed (even if we didn’t know we needed it) kind of reset!

The leaves used in our tea ceremonies are extremely unique in that they are all organic and come from, wild, old growth trees and plants that are sustainably grown and harvested by farmers who love, respect, and understand the power of this medicine.

Tea found me in 2014 while I was living abroad in Taiwan. I had the great fortune of studying with Internationally recognized Tea Master, Wu De, of Global Tea Hut, and many many other great teachers in Taiwan, China, and the USA.

All are welcome.

We honor these energies both within ourselves as the newfound inspiration and motivation without as the blossoming flowers, the singing birds, and the new life that spring brings!

Additionally, each of these these new cycle days are imbued with a high energy that we can utilize to expand and amplify our magical work and intentions. We have the extra support of the Libra full moon, bringing extra beauty and balance to our dreams and spiritual work.

This is a time of great outward expression and expansion! We will come together in a sacred, grounded and authentic way to celebrate that which is emerging in our lives + awakening the dream.

Our ceremonial immersion includes a day filled with nourishment and activities to inspire the awakening of your dreams. Beginning at 11am and closing at 5:30pm- with a 1 hour lunch break around 1pm <3

About Tea Ceremony:

Cha Dao, or Sacred Tea Ceremony is a practice that has its roots in shamanistic Taoism and Zen Buddhism. The earliest written records of Tea describe this plant found in the wild as Medicine that brightened the eyes and opened the Heart. It was domesticated by monks for its ability to support calm and awakened presence and sustain practitioners in extended meditation.

Tea is a plant spirit medicine and comes with her own wisdom and intelligence. The leaves used in our practice are ceremonial grade and come from living trees that are hundreds of years old, meaning that when we sit in ceremony and receive this medicine, we are also drinking in the hundred years' worth of moon, star, and sunshine. This wise medicine always delivers exactly what we need, and every tea sitting is different and unique based on our own individual needs.

Tea Ceremony is a unique and heartfelt way to come together with meaning and intention. It is most well known for inspiring profound states of inner peace and gratitude, creating a space within for us to view our lives with more appreciation and beauty. Tea is also a powerful ally in supporting and assisting in the healing of memories and processing of grief. Due to its gentle nature, tea is a medicine of the heart and suitable for people of all ages.

About Qoya:

Qoya classes are based on the idea that through movement we remember….

We remember our Essence is Wise Wild and Free 

Wise: calling on the wisdom of Yoga 

Wild : the creative expression in dance 

Free: Expanding our capacity to enjoy being in our bodies through feminine movement. 

Each class is led through a theme, movement, rituals, and community connection.

Imbolc: A Seasonal Ceremony
Feb
1

Imbolc: A Seasonal Ceremony

Imbolc takes place on the first day of February and is one of the four fire festivals on the Celtic Wheel of the Year. Winter is the longest night, spring is when the days and nights are in balance again, and Imbolc is positioned directly in between. It is the time the earth and nature are waking up, and we too are beginning to feel inspired and motivated again as we look for signs of the coming spring. Imbolc is about inner work and personal reflection, recalculating your life trajectory and making sure you’re heading in the direction of where you want to end up, and to begin taking the steps back into the outer world, emerging from our winter slumber.

This is a sacred ceremony of offering and honoring, intended to hold you in regenerative space as we behold and attune to the shifting energies of Imbolc.

The Wheel of the Year, recognizes the ancient ways we once lived, in honor and in harmony with the natural rhythm of the Earth and Land, and Her seasons. This way of living synchs us with the organic patterns emanating from the Earth- just like eating local and in-season foods, this way of being promotes health, vibrancy, and inspiration. It also supports us in living within the flow of life, rather than against it.

Year by year, as we learn the energies of each season we are in, and begin to incorporate the ancient teachings, we slowly , but surely embody more and more of that which is real. We reclaim the Natural. We restore what was lost. We feel more connected to ourselves, to the Earth around and within us, and to one another.

At Imbolc we are reemerging from the slumbers of Winter. Although the Earth is still in a gentle rest, She is awakening. At this time the wisdom of the Natural world can teach us how to move with inspiration in a way that is unhurried. We hold the magic of our intention with such trust and devotion, that we know there is no way they will not manifest. With this deep trust, we walk slowly into the Spring, and embrace the unrushed return to action.

In Avalon, we turn to Maiden Goddess Brigid in the Northwest. She is the one that holds the Sacred Flame. She is the one we call to for deep soul healing, protection of our animals, for inspiration, and for comfort.

/// WHAT TO BRING ///
  • Journal + something to write with

  • Sacred item (or two) that symbolize your inner fire and courage to place on the altar. Additionally, this is a great ceremony to honor your inner child, so a photo of a younger version of yourself is great to bring. You will be taking this back at the end of ceremony

  • Water bottle

  • Socks, scarf, and a sweater for layering in case you tend to get cold

/// ABOUT YOUR GUIDE ///
Led by Ashley Smith of into the Heart. A psycho-spiritual healer, sacred ceremonialist and Sister of Avalon with the Glastonbury Goddess Temple in Glastonbury, UK.
Ashley is a dedicated devotee of Goddess, spending the last 8 years studying in ancient healing traditions abroad throughout SE Asia and the British Isles.

Nourishing The Sacred Feminine I Yoni Steam + Tea Ceremony
Jan
21

Nourishing The Sacred Feminine I Yoni Steam + Tea Ceremony

Come and join Pillar of Light founder, Ashley Smith and certified peristeam specialist, Katy Carlin for an afternoon dedicated to nourishing the Sacred Feminine.

This day was created to offer women time and space to drop in to themselves and be nourished from head to toe. To ensure an intimate and intentional container, space is limited to 5 women. We begin with a meditative and heart healing journey with Sacred Tea Ceremony, a blend of ancient puerh and rose petals will be served to connect each woman to their sacred femininity. There will be a break for women to journal and set intentions, and Katy Carlin will provide a blend of healing herbs for each woman to sit and steam over on their own individual birchwood steams. During the steam each woman will be held and guided through a ceremony of release and remembrance!

About Yoni Steaming

Herbal vaginal steaming is an ancient practice known to be deeply nourishing and supportive for women as a part of many rituals for connecting with the wisdom that resides in the womb, for cleansing, tonifying, and healing our sacred heart center.

The Medicine:
Medicinal steam from the healing herbs warms the inner and outer organs, which helps increase circulation to both the vagina and womb. This increased blood can result in a number of things:

  • It can help rejuvenate the reproductive system through fresh blood supply.

  • It can bring vitality to the internal and external vaginal tissue (think about how great the skin on your face looks after a facial massage — that’s the increased blood flow, and the same thing happens with our vulvas)

  • It can make for greater sensations during sex due to the increase in blood flow.

  • It can carry the medicinal herbs even farther into the body, deep into the pelvic tissue, cervix, womb, and vagina.

  • For new mamas, the increased circulation can help speed up tissue repair necessary after any damage done during labor. *Authors note here, in most Southern and Central American cultures, yoni-steams are done very soon after the birth for healing and toning. In American culture we seldom honor the world-wide ancient wisdom of keeping new mothers warm and moist, massaged with oils, bound with cloths, and her yoni steamed.

About Your Guide Katy Carlin 

I'm a certified peristeam facilitator, health enthusiast, coach, and leader, guiding women to own their beauty and uniqueness, shake shame, heal & reclaim their yoni power, and live a life more in tune with the natural cycles of their bodies. In addition, I have a Bachelors degree from the University of South Florida, have completed Florida's Office of the Attorney General Victim Services Practitioner Designation, and am always working to expand my knowledge and skills (I'm currently studying to become a peristeam hydrotherapist). Although originally from Chicago, I currently call the beaches of Sarasota, Florida home. 

About Tea Ceremony

Cha Dao, or Sacred Tea Ceremony is a practice that has its roots in shamanistic Taoism and Zen Buddhism. The earliest written records of Tea describe this plant found in the wild as Medicine that brightened the eyes and opened the Heart. It was domesticated by monks for its ability to support calm and awakened presence and sustain practitioners in extended meditation.

Tea is a plant spirit medicine and comes with her own wisdom and intelligence. The leaves used in our practice are ceremonial grade and come from living trees that are hundreds of years old, meaning that when we sit in ceremony and receive this medicine, we are also drinking in the hundred’s years’ worth of moon, star, and sunshine. This wise medicine always delivers exactly what we need, and every tea sitting is different and offers healing for all people who feel called to receive.

Tea Ceremony is a unique and heartfelt way to come together with meaning and intention. Individuals interested in tea can come for a 1-on-1 sitting, as a couple, with friends, family, for special occasions such as birthday’s, weddings, anniversaries, or added to a retreat, or company event. It is also a powerful ally in supporting and assisting in healing memories and grief.

Monthly New Moon Kundalini Yoga Ceremony

Monthly New Moon Kundalini Yoga Ceremony

A gentle and intentional monthly class to set intentions for the new lunar cycle.

We will approach ourselves with a respectful curiosity and inquire within about what our hearts are sincerely desiring. Oftentimes in the business of our days, we can lose an accurate pulse on our own needs and wants. These monthly circles provide our souls with a touchstone to check in with. We will have time to review and release the last 28 days- what worked, what didn’t, what didn’t feel good, what were we attempting to learn, what did feel good, and how to expand more of that! The energies of the new lunar cycle will be shared, as well as carefully crafted journal prompts that will support us in intentionally working with and harnessing the energy available for the new lunar cycle! There will be chanting, meditation, breathwork, and kundalini yoga that is suitable for all levels.

Come unwind and reconnect with your intentionality in candlelit community ceremony!

All levels welcome.

Suggested: $33, but pay what you can. Bring your yoga mat, journal, and water bottle. Hot herbal tea is also provided.

Evening Tea Ceremony
Jan
8

Evening Tea Ceremony

This ceremony is open to men and women

Tea Ceremony is a gentle and meditative practice that is for everyone! Now, more than ever, we need moments of pause, where we are free from our screens, the demands of the outer world and all of our responsibilities, and the 10,000 distractions that pull for our attention. Intentional times of stillness are vital for our personal wellbeing- as without them our inner voice- our truth, our needs, our dreams- can get buried and go unnoticed. This quieting and distancing from that inner voice can really cause our view of life to become very narrow and have us believing that we are alone. Through the space that Tea creates we are able to take a deep breath and getting a clearer perspective, often one that is filled with gratitude, around what’s present for us in our lives. Each sit is like a gentle, welcome, and much needed (even if we didn’t know we needed it) kind of reset!

The leaves used in our tea ceremonies are extremely unique in that they are all organic and come from, wild, old growth trees and plants that are sustainably grown and harvested by farmers who love, respect, and understand the power of this medicine.

Tea found me in 2014 while I was living abroad in Taiwan. I had the great fortune of studying with Internationally recognized Tea Master, Wu De, of Global Tea Hut, and many many other great teachers in Taiwan, China, and the USA.

All are welcome.

$37 per participant. Tickets are nonrefundable and nontransferable.

Nourishing The Sacred Feminine I Yoni Steam + Tea Ceremony
Dec
17

Nourishing The Sacred Feminine I Yoni Steam + Tea Ceremony

Come and join Pillar of Light founder, Ashley Smith and certified peristeam specialist, Katy Carlin for an afternoon dedicated to nourishing the Sacred Feminine.

This day was created to offer women time and space to drop in to themselves and be nourished from head to toe. To ensure an intimate and intentional container, space is limited to 5 women. We begin with a meditative and heart healing journey with Sacred Tea Ceremony, a blend of ancient puerh and rose petals will be served to connect each woman to their sacred femininity. There will be a break for women to journal and set intentions, and Katy Carlin will provide a blend of healing herbs for each woman to sit and steam over on their own individual birchwood steams. During the steam each woman will be held and guided through a ceremony of release and remembrance!

About Yoni Steaming

Herbal vaginal steaming is an ancient practice known to be deeply nourishing and supportive for women as a part of many rituals for connecting with the wisdom that resides in the womb, for cleansing, tonifying, and healing our sacred heart center.

The Medicine:
Medicinal steam from the healing herbs warms the inner and outer organs, which helps increase circulation to both the vagina and womb. This increased blood can result in a number of things:

  • It can help rejuvenate the reproductive system through fresh blood supply.

  • It can bring vitality to the internal and external vaginal tissue (think about how great the skin on your face looks after a facial massage — that’s the increased blood flow, and the same thing happens with our vulvas)

  • It can make for greater sensations during sex due to the increase in blood flow.

  • It can carry the medicinal herbs even farther into the body, deep into the pelvic tissue, cervix, womb, and vagina.

  • For new mamas, the increased circulation can help speed up tissue repair necessary after any damage done during labor. *Authors note here, in most Southern and Central American cultures, yoni-steams are done very soon after the birth for healing and toning. In American culture we seldom honor the world-wide ancient wisdom of keeping new mothers warm and moist, massaged with oils, bound with cloths, and her yoni steamed.

About Your Guide Katy Carlin 

I'm a certified peristeam facilitator, health enthusiast, coach, and leader, guiding women to own their beauty and uniqueness, shake shame, heal & reclaim their yoni power, and live a life more in tune with the natural cycles of their bodies. In addition, I have a Bachelors degree from the University of South Florida, have completed Florida's Office of the Attorney General Victim Services Practitioner Designation, and am always working to expand my knowledge and skills (I'm currently studying to become a peristeam hydrotherapist). Although originally from Chicago, I currently call the beaches of Sarasota, Florida home.

Scorpio New Moon Kundalini Yoga
Nov

Scorpio New Moon Kundalini Yoga

An uplifting blend of spiritual and physical practices, that may be a little different than what you may have experienced at your gym or local yoga studio.

Kundalini Yoga tonifies and strengthens the nervous system and activates the master glands in the brain. A major focus is placed on the breath, sacred sound currents, and dynamic movements that activate and strengthen the organs and the systems of the body.
Additional benefits of this practice may include building physical vitality and flexibility as well as flexibility of the mind and emotional states. Kundalini yoga techniques balance hormones, ease anxiety and boosts creativity.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or brand new to the practice, I sincerely encourage you to have an experience of Kundalini Yoga for yourself. It will add depth to your existing practice and to your life.

These special offerings curated for the New Moon are shared with the intention to reset and align with the new Lunar Cycle! We take our time to settle into the space, the energies of the new moon and what’s happening cosmologically are shared, journal prompts to weave into your practice are given, candles are lit by each in attendance with a powerful affirmation that you can work with for the next 28 days and we practice deep meditations and chanting, and an inspiring Kundalini Kriya!

These circles are great for the seasoned practitioner, as well as students who are completely new to the teachings!

3 Day Human Design Immersion
Oct
13
to Oct 15

3 Day Human Design Immersion

What is an Immersion?

An immersion is a group setting where each person gets to explore going deeply into de-conditioning the form and the mind. An immersion is not a lecture, a teaching, a class, a course or an intellectual endeavor. It’s about immersing oneself in an experience that asks you to practice the parameters of your Strategy & Authority. There is no agenda or a plan. Each of us is holding space as ourselves and what unfolds comes out of that. It is quite remarkable to watch what is revealed.
We will play games that may bring out this seeing and deepen sensitivity to the unique type of each person. This new sensitivity and seeing can lead to deep personal sharing and new expressions of old experiences. These sharing’s can be healing and are part of the de-conditioning process of Strategy and Authority.
Many people are seduced by the detailed chart depth in Human Design because of the amount of details found in a chart. Most people get fooled into thinking that the layers of details is where the depth is; it’s not. In fact, the details can keep someone from their true nature. 
Think of it like memorizing all the words in a dictionary, but never knowing how to speak or write them. Depth is knowing which words in the dictionary are for you, while knowing exactly how they are spoken and written for you.
The Immersion offers a facilitating space for each person to freely open up and start a journey to know themselves and to know their frequency -- a journey of uncovering their path to decision making and experiencing the least amount of resistance. 
You will uncover what it is to wait in your unique Strategy & Authority and get to practice it.
Each person in the Immersion will share his or her birth information before arriving. This information will produce each individual’s Human Design chart. From the chart I will share with you your Type and Strategy, which will give you the parameters of what you will experiment within the Immersion.
Type tells us how we meet life and the others energetically. Strategy tells us how we can move through life without meeting resistance. Strategy gives each of us a specific way where waiting takes place. Inner Authority reveals the entry into each decision.
In the Immersions, we will experiment with Type and Strategy. Each person gets to validate, for themselves, the information presented to them. None of this is to be believed. It’s to be validated through experience.
Sharing can bring up deep levels of frustration, anger, bitterness, disappointment, old or current relationship traumas, belief systems, limiting mindsets, cultural imprinting, gender conditioning, conflict traumas, abuse traumas, suffering from physical problems, illnesses and much more. Each of us has a unique life experience and a unique sharing.
My role is to facilitate and hold the space coming from my own Strategy and Authority. I have no agenda. I am simply there as myself, responding to what each person is asking. I will help clarify anything that comes up with an understanding of Waiting, Type, Strategy and Authority.

About your guide, Hunt Holliday

Generator 3/5

For myself, the secret has been to discover what it means to wait in my Strategy & Authority. Waiting is the secret to being. To wait for life to come to me. To be asked if I have the energy to do or be involved in something. To wait out impulses to initiate things with others. To wait out the strong conditioned chemistry of my mind dumping chemistry into my body to try to control my path. Waiting becomes my being. Waiting for me is a deep, deep surrender that unwinds all the old habits and patterns to arrive at witnessing my life from the back seat. Letting go of thinking I need or even can control the outcome of my life, revealing a witnessing by waiting as it all unfolds without resistance. This process isn’t easy though it is simple in what to do. Often my mind gets a pretty good shattering because of what it thought waiting to respond would mean. Your strategy and authority are not here to keep you from experiencing deeply uncomfortable or scary things. It wont protect you from harm either. It just makes it so you can navigate these things clearly vs through distortion.
What I did in life and in relationships before experimenting with my Strategy & Authority was: listen to my mind, go after life, pushing to get, purposefully trying to manifest, and making my wants and desires happen regardless of the resistance I met. How I was entering into many of the decisions in my life was depleting my life force energy. I was experiencing degeneration. 
I discovered countless traumatic mistakes and resistance experienced as physical pain, doubt, confusion, frustration, bitterness, anger and disappointment. Not all the time, but it happened enough that it led to questioning, “Why does it have to happen at all?”. 
Strategy & Authority changed everything.
