Hey REVERY sisters! 

I’m Aliza (pronounced Al-ee-za), founder of Mariposa Movement, and I’m so honored to invite you to join us in the Costa Rican jungle this January for our next Costa Rica Dance Retreat — a sacred space to reset, reclaim, and remember who you truly are.
IMAGINE...

  • Morning and sunset dance journeys: Ecstatic dance, live DJ sets and somatic movement sessions designed to nourish and support you on every level. 
  • Nature immersions: Swim in waterfalls, rest in jungle stillness, play in the ocean and feel the earth recalibrate your nervous system.
  • Ceremonies & Rituals: During our time together, we'll gather for a cacao ceremony with one of our favorite facilitators, a traditional Temazcal (sweat lodge), and a sound bath to clear the mental static and support you in resonating at your true frequency.
  • Inspired sisterhood: Join a circle of powerful women—visionaries, healers, dreamers—coming together to dance, heal, cross-pollinate and rise. Our 2025 retreat truly felt like a council meeting of highly evolved women, we are still riding the beautiful waves of that gathering! 
  • Organic nourishment: Fresh, plant-based meals to fuel and ground your journey.
  • Rest & Replenishment: Daily free time for rest, journaling, bodywork, and soaking in the pool or infinity hot tub (with the most epic ocean views!)

A little about me: I’m a clinically trained, Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist, and I’ve spent the past decade guiding women to heal, awaken, and embody their fullest power through dance, movement, and music. Before moving to Costa Rica in 2018, I lived in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY (that's how Sarah and I recently connected!). Dance has always been both my passion and my medicine, and I feel so deeply grateful to support other women on their awakening journeys through the power of movement, nature-reconnection and music.

If you’d love to chat more and feel into whether this retreat is for you, I’d be honored to connect. You can book a call with me here!

Whether you join us this year or not, I’m so grateful to be part of the REVERY community and truly look forward to getting to know each of you and your magic!

In joy ✨
Aliza
