The Experience
Â
5 days to remember who you are - together.
A lifetime of connection, courage, and stories you'll talk about for years.
Â
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...
Â
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

All of our rooms are deluxe double rooms for each female duo to share.
You'll have separate beds and ensuite bathroom.

From the Women Who’ve Been There
Real reflections from those who stepped away, reconnected, and came home changed.
LauraÂ
"This retreat exceeded my expectations. It felt like the greatest gift: mindfulness, movement, beauty, nature, nourishing meals, sacred rituals, and an incredible community of women. The most meaningful part for me was the combination of movement, coaching, and reflection that helped me tap into my inner power. What I’d tell someone considering it: this is a true act of self-care that keeps on giving. You’ll be so glad you said yes."
EliseÂ
"I think the most meaningful part of the retreat was sharing it with women of like mind. Eating together, discussing together, hiking, doing movement together, journaling together. This is an experience that you should give yourself at least once in your life and more if you can! It is so good for your mental health and for your soul and we as women need to nurture these parts of ourselves so that we can be our best selves. Thank you again for the experience!"
Nicola
“The most meaningful part of the retreat was stepping into a serene environment on a farm in coastal Portugal—completely immersed in meditation, movement, and nature alongside a group of incredible women. If you’re considering going… do it. It’s one of the best gifts you can give yourself.”

MEET YOUR GUIDE
COACHÂ D.
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
