Chrysalis

Find your Voice. Vision. & Boundless Expression.

Join us for a life changing experience June 18-28th. 

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.

FROM YOUR FACILITATORS

"You will learn skills I only wish I'd known at this age - how to listen to your body, intuition, process emotion, ground, re-center, move with presence - and love yourself. 
 
Young people need this kind of space today more than ever --- to heal from toxic and stressful institutional conditions -- and reground in who they really are -- amidst a deeply complex, fast paced and stressful world."

Welcome to Nemetona — a sanctuary celebrating enchanting connections, community, and boundless beauty.  Awaken in Nemetona's gentle embrace, where each day dances with nature. 

 

Picture your journey beginning with soul-nurturing activities—whether it's the flowing movements of yoga or the serene introspection of meditation, embraced by the Kuan Yin temple.

 

Share heartful moments in the Ohana house, where laughter and stories create a melody. Indulge in crafted meals, fostering warm connections. 

​

Nemetoma is located 10 miles from Puerto Viejo (the main town); it is secluded and the entire resort will be exclusively accessible to our campers, facilitators and main staff/ leadership of Nemetoma.

 

Campers will be supervised and accompanied at all times by Eso Terra mentors and leadership on all excursions. No independent travel outside of the resort will be permitted without supervision/ mentorship.

Meet the Team

In my work with The Change Makers Institute, a program for high school teens globally, I find myself greeting students who battle overwhelming fatigue and stress every day:

 

“I find myself lacking in motivation to even do things I love.”

​

“I often suffer from breakdowns at unexpected moments.”
 

“I consistently experience underlying feelings of anxiety and discontentment."

​

"I wonder -- will it always be like this?" 

​

Today, young women stand at a pivotal crossroads, yearning for connection and purpose in a world that often feels isolating and unforgiving. It is for this reason that we launched 

Chrysalis, where small groups of girls will learn tools to shift self-harming mental scripts and deepen capacity for personal connection and unbound expression. Here young women and girls will experience authentic sisterhood, holistic healing, and self-discovery. Read more about Chrysalis, and effective Summer Wellness Strategies Here. 

This is the inaugural year for Chrysalis - at Eso Terra Foundation. Our facilitators and guides bring decades of experience running youth programming both in the United States in Costa Rica. This project emerges from a joint partnership with The Porters Center For Global Leadership -- The Change Makers Institute. We hope you join us, and in so doing you will be joining this community and movement for radically enhancing access to healing, health and wellbeing to women and girls globally. Join us, and help co-create the world(s) of our dreams.
