Get ready for the tropical island adventure you’ve been waiting for. Angela Bompiani and I have teamed up for a Winter 2024 Tropical Retreat. We have chosen a breathtakingly beautiful, lush location where you can disconnect from the hurried pace of everyday life and really plug into nature. Our aim is for you to deeply recharge by connecting with the land and sea and with your own inherent vitality and vibrance.
There will be a skillful, creative mix of yoga practices and meditation to inspire embodied joy, and also, plenty of time for quiet reflection and for play. All this at a retreat center floating above the coast, with panoramic views of the island and the ocean beyond.
Sweet Friends, this is your invitation to bask in the beauty of a lush tropical island and to come home to yourself as the luminous, loving essence that you truly are.

About the Location:
The retreat center is situated at the top of a hill overlooking the gorgeous Caribbean Sea on a secluded island nestled off the coast of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. All participants share bathrooms and all rooms are open air so you can commune with the air and the sea breezes and rest in harmony with the temperature and island vibrations.

Not Included: Airfare, transfers to and from the airport, private reiki or somatic experiencing sessions with Angela or Michele, alcoholic drinks, additional excursions, golf cart rental.
This retreat style and location set the stage for you to tap into your deep interconnectedness with nature and with all of life. We are thrilled to share this experience with you!
“My time with Michele in Costa Rica for my 200hr YTT was an experience that was so essential to my becoming the human that I am today…
Being with Michele and learning from her is like walking barefoot through a forest and feeling rooted/grounded + sparkly/bubbly + energized + at ease all at the same time. Michele encouraged me to remember how to PLAY and laugh and to not take myself so seriously on my mat while also allowing space for uncomfortable moments and challenging feelings to show up too. 6 years later and in the deep trenches of motherhood, I still find myself returning to some of the practices and lessons that Michele taught me in Costa Rica - to feel my feet, to dance/wiggle my body, to allow whatever is here to be here.
