Chrysalis
Find your Voice. Vision. & Boundless Expression.
Join us for a life changing experience.
This program is for passionate young women who care -- and dare -- to make possible a better world.
Set on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica - with staggering beauty and biodiversity - you will join a small circle of passionate, visionary young women who aim to realize authentic self, purpose, and unbound expression.
Chrysalis is for those with big dreams, looking for the community, courage and skills to help manifest them. Here you will journey deep within to meet your true selves. You will learn to transmute limiting stories, fears, and beliefs, and unlock our most powerful abilities. You will learn to manifest from a healthy, grounded, integrity-centered heart-space and pace, and find yourself at home within a profoundly supportive, lifelong sisterhood.
