Apply now →THE ESSENCE
A homecoming to your feminine wisdom.
Odara means peace and beauty in Portuguese, a name that embodies the gentle strength, softness, and wisdom of the feminine. It is the essence that guides every one of our retreats.
Through the art of slow living, we return to nature's rhythm. Nestled on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, where lush jungle meets the endless ocean, we create space to slow down, soften, and remember what it feels like to truly be present.
For seven days, ten women gather in community to step out of survival mode and into the quieter intelligence of the body. Through breath, movement, rest, and meaningful connection, we reconnect with our natural cycles, our intuition, and the wisdom we carry within.

The Odara Cycle Journey
The Odara Cycle Journey
At the heart of Odara is the Odara Cycle Journey, an embodied experience inspired by the four phases of the menstrual cycle and the feminine archetypes that live within us.
An embodied experience inspired by the four phases of the menstrual cycle and the feminine archetypes that live within us.
The retreat schedule has been carefully curated to follow the natural rhythm of the cycle, moving through the inward stillness of the Inner Winter, the renewal and curiosity of the Inner Spring, the radiance and connection of the Inner Summer, and the clarity and release of the Inner Autumn.
Each practice, workshop and experience has been intentionally placed within this journey, allowing you to explore the wisdom of each phase through movement, creativity, nature, sisterhood, reflection and rest. Whether you currently menstruate or not, these archetypes live within every woman, inviting us to reconnect with our cyclical nature and embrace every version of ourselves.

Bianca Ciabattari
INTEGRATIVE GYNECOLOGY · PLANT MEDICINE FACILITATOR
My path has always been guided by a deep curiosity about the connection between the body, the mind, and the innate wisdom within every woman. As a medical doctor, yoga teacher, certified psychedelic practitioner, and women's health guide, I blend modern science with ancient healing traditions such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I believe healing begins when we slow down enough to truly listen to our bodies. My intention is to create spaces where women feel safe, deeply seen, and supported in reconnecting with their inner wisdom, embracing their cyclical nature, and finding a path to wellbeing that feels authentic to them.
Sofia Mazzolini
HOST & CURATOR
Rooted in spirituality and shaped by my own healing journey with endometriosis, I know intimately what it means to search for guidance that feels truly aligned, compassionate and whole. Five years in the wellness world, from meditation and sound healing facilitator to experienced curator, only deepened that knowing. Odara is the space I once needed, where women can slow down, feel seen, return to their bodies, and remember they were never meant to heal alone.
