The Shine Retreat Costa Rica is an intimate, deeply transformational, experiential retreat to re-connect with your soul, the wonder of nature, the fulfillment of community and the inspiration of being part of something bigger than ourselves.  

Bring your whole life in and come out with a deeper experience of connection, peace, joy, gratitude and velocity in the areas of life that matter most to you.

Through nature, cultivating stillness, meditation, community, inquiry, creative expression, spiritual guidance, yoga and nourishing meals infused with love, you'll have the opportunity to transform limiting perceptions and social pressures, strengthen your powerful intuition, see the perfection of your life, trust the unfolding and tap into a new, unforeseen and limitless future.

I am a champion for creativity on every level. I founded Mining the Magic with the strong belief that we, as human beings, are wired to create. I am intrigued by the creative spirit within each of us, that unfettered joy of making something…anything. 

Embracing our creativity challenges us, puts us in a place of the unknown, expands our understanding, opens our hearts, asks us to be courageous and to trust in the process. Every piece of creative endeavor is a new beginning, a new possibility. 

I began my art journey by creating black and white photos that I hand tinted, printed, framed and sold in the wholesale market, including Restoration Hardware and Eddie Bauer Homestore. It became a very successful business which I loved until I didn’t. It became familiar and known, the opposite of what creativity offers, the magic in the unknown! After 12 years, I left the business and began my search to understand and embrace the creative process. 

During the creative sessions, I encourage trusting the process and embracing mystery over mastery.  Like a metaphor for life; we practice playing and engaging with the art from a place of curiosity, courage and compassion.
