Breath
is the medicine that has the power to heal disease, emotional stress and immunity dis-regulation. It has the power to shift your consciousness, release what is not needed and attune you with your highest self. What better place to connect to this medicine than the natural land and seascapes of Nicaragua?
Retreat
centered around nourishment of mind, body and soul amongst heart centered community. Several breath techniques are offered to help you shift specific patterns in your breath and body. The transformational breath journeys are designed to give you the medicine you most need in your life and to align you with divine source.
Surfing
is offered with verdant views of palm trees on the black sand beaches of Northern Nicaragua. The beach directly in front of our location is a peeling left hand reef break that works on medium to large swells.Because we are isolated, we surf the emptiest waves in Nicaragua. Based on the changing tides and conditions, we will take you to the best breaks each day.


Barbara is a somatic coach, breath facilitator and functional movement educator. Her knowledge is anchored in ancient wisdom alongside modern science-backed practices and her intention is to help you unlock patterns in the body and breath system that are not serving you. The intention is to live a life of full embodied freedom.
This retreat embraces Barbara's abiding love of the ocean. She lives in Topanga Canyon, California, above the Malibu coast where she surfs and works with those wanting to heal physical and emotional pain. Barbara uses LIFE as medicine to help clients relinquish old ineffective habits and believes that breath practice in the ocean air is one of the most powerful gifts we can give ourselves.
