Embark on a Journey of Self-Discovery & Experience
a Blend of Ancient and Modern Healing Ceremonies at the
SOUL JOURNEY RETREAT
IN COSTA RICA
May 26 – June 1, 2024
A 6 Night / 7 Day Ceremonial Experience at
The Peace Retreat in the Guanacaste Region in Costa Rica
What I dream for you at this retreat is simple:
I want you to reconnect with nature, find a sense of groundedness,
and explore the quiet depth of your inner world.
This retreat is your chance to peel back the layers,
to discover and celebrate the true you in the heart of Costa Rica’s beauty.
I understand you’re yearning for more…
…For the deeper purpose
…For genuine connection
…For vibrant aliveness
You’ve sought it in places society promised would fulfill you: careers, material things, family – yet, despite these pursuits, you find yourself feeling as if you’re never quite enough, always searching for the missing piece that would make it all complete.
That piece you’re looking for is YOU, your SOUL, the essence of you who truly are at your core.
Beyond your current self lies a vast expanse of potential — yet, life got in the way somehow: our narratives, life experiences, upbringing, and societal expectations and norms cast shadows over who we truly are. They leave us chasing goals, living out someone else’s dream, and of course, we feel like we’re never enough.
Many clients come to us with the same pain:
- The emptiness and longing for something more profound in life.
- The battle with feelings of inadequacy and disconnection from your true self, lost amid external achievements and validation.
- The overwhelm from the relentless demands of jobs and personal obligations.
- The guilt or hesitation in making self-care and personal growth a priority.
- The deep yearning for a purpose and connection that resonate with your soul.
You already know there is something more for you. Beyond your current self lies a vast expanse of potential — the essence of who you truly are at your core.
At the SOUL JOURNEY RETREAT IN COSTA RICA, we invite you to come and embark with us on this journey of rediscovery. Amidst the breathtaking beauty of nature, you’ll find the magic and support to start bringing your full self alive.
Feeling Fully Alive is your Birthright. Claim Yours!
The SOUL JOURNEY RETREAT IN COSTA RICA invites you to:
RECHARGE and immerse yourself in the lush jungles of Costa Rica, where peace and natural beauty rejuvenate your spirit and help you align with your true self.
DIVE DEEP with the help of healing ceremonies and ancient traditions, unlocking insights and truths beyond the thinking mind.
COME ALIVE with renewed energy and purpose. Shed what holds you back, awakening to a vibrant, joyful life with inner peace.
“My journey through life’s ups and downs, from family to career changes, has led me to a profound realization: the power of inner peace and self-discovery.”
~ Odette Peek

Odette creates transformative experiences that help you to excavate deep inside yourself including in the places you fear most, yet always feel safe and supportive.
Ondrea C.
Odette really made me feel safe. The care and attention she spends is incredible. She was so good at pinpointing the core struggle I had growing up and helped me release it. If you get a chance to work with her, do it! I promise it will be a magical and healing experience that you will cherish forever.
Jeff R.
I’ve attended many ceremonies over the years and working with Odette has been the most transformational experience I’ve ever had. I felt so held and supported that I was able to fully surrender to the process and allow myself to feel and release the deepest of emotions – the ones that were holding me back from truly living my life.
Mary P.
If it weren’t for Odette’s gentle and loving approach, I don’t think I could have done a psychedelic journey. She made me feel so safe, that she ‘had my back’ while I was deep in my journey. Growing up, I had anxiety and depression and crippling feelings of hopelessness. Working with Odette gave me back my hope and my life.
Jim D.
I never really felt good enough. I lost sight of who I was and what I really wanted. I had heard about psychedelics helping people find happiness and joy – something I desperately craved. But I was scared to try it. I never even smoked a cigarette! I was referred by a friend who worked with Odette and I instantly felt connected when we had our first call. If it wasn’t for Odette, I am scared to think of where my life would be right now.
Sue I.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not sure I'm ready.
Feeling uncertain about taking this step is natural. It’s a sign that you’re on the brink of something transformative. Ask yourself: “If not now, when? If not you, who? And if it’s a no today, then when will it be a yes?” This retreat is designed to meet you where you are, offering a path to discover what you’re truly capable of in a supportive and nurturing environment. It’s about taking that leap of faith into your own growth and potential.
What airport do I need to fly into?
You fly into Liberia airport, and from there we will organize transport directly to the retreat center (and return to Liberia airport) so you can arrive stress-free! There will be two time slots available for pick up (May 26) and return trip (June 1) – if these time slots don’t work for you, we will organize your private driver for an additional $100 USD.
How safe is traveling to Costa Rica?
Costa Rica is a popular holiday destination in Central America and is considered safe to travel, including solo travelers. Your transport to and from the airport is included, so there is absolutely nothing to worry about!
Do I need to have a certain level of fitness?
There will be movement classes available, such as daily yoga but you don’t have to have a certain fitness level to participate. You can always choose to opt out of any activity as you please. There is no mandatory participation and we encourage you to choose what’s best for you.
I have special dietary requirements.
Our retreat center will cater nourishing food with vegan and vegetarian options. Please let us know of any special dietary requirements during the onboarding process.
Who else is taking part in the program?
We will be a small and curated group of like-minded, soul aligned seekers. Connecting and witnessing each other’s growth is an important aspect of the experience and we hope that friendships will be formed beyond the duration of the event.
Will I have any free time?
Yes, plenty! Our retreat is designed to give you ample time to rest, play and rejuvenate.
What can I do in my free time?
You can go hiking in the lush green jungles, dip your toes in the water down by the beach, or just soak up some sun at the end of a day (Costa Rica is known for breathtaking sunsets!). There are also spa treatments and womb healing treatments available upon request and plenty of other adventurous activities like kayaking, and ziplining that you can book in addition to the activities included in the retreat (you can request additional information during your onboarding with The Peace Retreat).
Is there WIFI? Can I work or be in touch with friends & family?
Yes, there is wifi access at the retreat center but we’d love for you to unplug as much as possible. The more time and space you have, the more you will get out of your time at the retreat.
“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” Anne Lamott
Is airfare included?
Everything but the airfare is included. The event is all-inclusive but you organize and pay for your own flights.
What type of ceremonies will be held?
Plant medicine, psilocybin, and sacred ceremonies are ancient healing methods that provide us with a whole new level of experiencing transformation beyond our normal mind. It enables a glimpse inside your soul and a deep connection to your heart, feeling the sacred love and care of the universe at the core of your being. Plant medicine also offers an energetic clearing that is almost impossible to achieve at our normal state of consciousness. We are offering a gentle mushroom experience, perfect for someone who has not experimented with altered states of consciousness.
What should I pack for the retreat?
A packing list will be provided upon registration, but essentials include comfortable clothing for yoga, ceremonies and outdoor activities, a swimsuit for beach excursions, sunscreen, insect repellent, and personal items. Remember, Costa Rica’s weather can vary, so bring layers.
Are there any health requirements or restrictions?
Please inform us of any health conditions or concerns during the onboarding process. It’s also recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before attending, especially if participating in medicine ceremonies. You are required to get health coverage to protect you if anything should arise while being out of your host country.
Can I arrive earlier or stay later than the retreat dates?
If you wish to extend your stay in Costa Rica beyond the retreat dates, The Peace Retreat may be able to extend your accommodation before and after the event but these extensions are not covered by the retreat package. Please enquire during your onboarding process with The Peace Retreat directly as all logistical details are handled by them – once you’re all signed up and the deposit is paid.
How large are the groups in each retreat?
To ensure a personal and intimate experience, our retreats are limited in the number of participants. This allows for deeper connections and more personalized guidance.
What is the cancellation policy?
Deposits are non-refundable. Balance owing 45 days before the start of retreat (April 11th, 2024) and non-refundable after that date so we can meet our financial obligation to the retreat center.
Will there be any 1:1 sessions with Odette?
Yes there will be an opportunity to book a private 20 minute 1:1 session with Odette during the retreat. These sessions offer a deeper dive into personal development and integration work. There is no extra cost for this during the retreat.
Is there medical support available during the retreat?
The safety and well-being of our participants are paramount. Any current medical issues and medications need to be addressed in the application form. Our staff is trained to handle health concerns promptly and efficiently.
How do I prepare for the ceremonies?
Preparation guidelines will be shared well in advance of the retreat, including dietary recommendations, mental and emotional preparation tips, and what to expect during the ceremonies. It’s important to follow these guidelines closely for the most beneficial experience.
