The Joy of Living Retreat

You are not a problem to be fixed.  You are a life worth living.  Join Jackie and Carmen as we jet off for a warm and nourishing experience on the beaches of Costa Rica.  We will meet you in the warm sun where we will swim in the ocean of the mother’s love and dance under the light of the jungle moon.  We created this retreat so that we didn’t just TALK erotic living, but actually took you on a retreat where we get to have the direct experience of the Goddess’ love through the JOY of LIVING.  

Retreat goers will receive a three night, four day private and luxurious stay at Cara Cara.  A beautiful villa on the beach of Punta Islita, Costa Rica.  Private pool, direct beach access, mountain and sea views from our villa all add to the feeling of abundance that we will experience.  Jackie and Carmen will be offering daily sessions of Body Temple Dance, Yoga and Meditation alongside of opportunities to talk Erotic and Sensual Living while we sun and relax poolside, listening to the jungle sounds and listening to the waves crash against the shore.  

March 26th-30th, 2026.
