Sanctuary in Samara

Nestled on 2.25 lush acres just outside Samara’s pristine beaches, the private and gated retreat home offers a peaceful escape with sweeping ocean and jungle views.

Enjoy:

A master suite upstairs with a private balcony and bathtub
Two private bedrooms and shared bath downstairs-
- One room with king bed and ocean view
- One room with two twin beds and garden view
Spacious shared living areas for connection and rest
An outdoor pool surrounded by tropical gardens and cold plunge bath

This is a YouTube video from when we first purchased the property — it beautifully captures the home and the surrounding paradise but some decorative changes have been made.

Flow & Flexibility

This retreat has a gentle rhythm. We’ll gather for morning practices, share meals, and explore the beauty of Costa Rica together — but also leave space for the group’s energy to guide us. Some days may flow into more rest and reflection; others may call us into adventure.

Your Host

I’m Chelsea, a certified Emotion Code practitioner and intuitive guide. My work blends energy release, light language through hand and body movement, and a deep connection to nature’s rhythms in the incredibly powerful land of Costa Rica. I created this retreat to be a sacred pause — a place to realign with your body, your heart, and your highest frequency.

Over the past year, I have personally completed 8 Ayurvedic liver cleanses and 2 Ayurvedic kidney cleanses, each one bringing a deeper layer of transformation. On the physical level, the release of hundreds of liver and gallbladder stones each time is both humbling and astonishing — a clear reminder of the body’s innate ability to renew itself. But the cleanse is never just physical.

For me, each cycle has been an initiation — a gateway into higher frequencies, expanded intuition, and profound energetic upgrades. Old emotional patterns have surfaced to be witnessed and released. Unexpected synchronicities have unfolded during cleanse weeks, as if the universe responds directly to the clarity being created within. I’ve felt my light language deepen, my energy field strengthen, and my connection to All That Is grow brighter with every cleanse.

Guiding others through this process feels like a natural extension of my own healing journey. It’s not only about flushing the body — it’s about remembering who you truly are without the weight of stored toxins, stagnant emotions, or outdated stories. It’s about creating the space for your light to shine more fully, and to feel the joy and vitality that is your birthright. I'd love to meet you where you are - in body, heart, and spirit - and help walk you home to your own clarity.

The Ayurvedic Liver Cleanse: What to Expect

This retreat includes the Ayurvedic liver cleanse protocol from Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation by Dr. Andreas Moritz — a gentle yet deeply effective way to release accumulated toxins, stones, and congestion from the liver and gallbladder.

Your liver is one of the most vital organs for maintaining vibrant health, but over time it can become overburdened from processed foods, alcohol, caffeine, environmental toxins, stress, and emotional residue. This cleanse is designed to:

Improve digestion and energy flow
Boost mental clarity and emotional stability
Strengthen immunity and detox pathways
Promote clearer skin and a lighter, more vibrant feeling in the body

Cleanse Dietary Restrictions

Throughout the cleanse week we will consume a vegan diet (no meat or diary) while also avoiding alcohol, caffeine, processed food, or anything cold (ice, smoothies, gelato, etc) as these can chill the liver and reduce cleanse effectiveness.

Preparation Phase (Days 1-5)

For the first 5 days of the retreat, you’ll enjoy:

A special plant-based Ayurvedic diet to gently prepare the body
Daily hydration rituals with lemon water and herbal teas
A liter of apple juice or water with apple cider vinegar daily to soften and loosen bile and stones
Guided Emotion & Body Code sessions to release stored emotions connected to liver health
Yoga & gentle movement to stimulate circulation and lymphatic flow

Cleansing Day (Day 6)

On the 6th day, we’ll follow the steps outlined by Andreas Moritz:

Simple meals for breakfast (oatmeal and fruit) and lunch (steamed veggies and rice) with fasting after 1:30pm
A liter of apple juice or water with apple cider vinegar daily to soften and loosen bile and stones
Epsom salt drinks at 6pm and 8pm to open the bile ducts, relax the liver, and promote colon cleansing
Optional (but recommended) water enema to help cleanse the colon before the big release
Organic cold pressed olive oil & fresh citrus juice blend to trigger the liver to release stones and toxins at 10pm
Deep rest and stillness while your body naturally does its work overnight

Release & Recovery (Day 7)

The next morning, the body naturally releases gallbladder and liver stones, cholesterol, and toxins
Epsom salt drinks at 6am and 8am to continue colon cleansing
Continued hydration with fresh juices, light Ayurvedic meals, and rest
Gentle stretching, grounding practices
Integration time for the physical and emotional shifts that come from the cleanse

💡 Note: This process is safe for most people, but it is not recommended for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain health conditions including prior issues with the kidneys or digestive disorders. We’ll provide a pre-retreat health questionnaire to ensure it’s the right fit for you.

What to Expect on Release Day (Real Photos)

One of the most fascinating parts of the Ayurvedic liver cleanse is seeing the very real, very tangible results of your body’s detoxification process. These are photos from my own cleanses — each one representing hundreds of gallstones and liver stones that had been stored in my body for years, even decades.

While these images may be a bit graphic, they are also deeply inspiring. They are physical evidence of the body’s remarkable ability to heal and regenerate when given the right support. Every release was accompanied by not only a lighter feeling physically, but emotional clarity and spiritual expansion as well.

Note: Some find these images powerful, others not ready to see — view only if you feel intrigued and inspired.

F.A.Q.

IS THIS RETREAT FOR WOMEN ONLY?
Yes. This retreat is designed as a women’s space to support open sharing, deep rest, and the unique physical and energetic needs of the feminine body during the Ayurvedic cleanse.

WHERE IS THE RETREAT TAKING PLACE? HOW DO I GET THERE?
The retreat will be taking place at Chelsea’s family home, Casa Cascada, which is located just outside of the town of Samara, in the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. To get here, you will need to fly into Liberia (LIR) airport. Chelsea will meet you as you step outside, and drive you to Samara (about 2 hours away) as long as you arrive on the retreat start date.

WHEN DO I NEED TO ARRIVE & DEPART COSTA RICA?
You will need to fly into Liberia on the retreat start date to receive the complimentary airport ride to Samara. The retreat starts at ~5pm on the start date once everyone arrives in Samara. You are welcome to add more time in Costa Rica before or after the retreat and I will help you coordinate transport or lodging as needed.

WHAT WILL TAKE PLACE DURING THIS RETREAT?
Together, we will dive into many practices (see itinerary), all of which aim to return us to our innate vitality. We will also have plenty of time to dive into conversation around the dinner table, lounge by the pool, and find moments of stillness for ourselves.

WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
The retreat is open to all women over the age of 18 who are seeking to form a deeper relationship with themselves, with others, and with the world around them.

HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS IS FOR ME?
We strive to bring together a group of individuals for whom this experience is in alignment.
Prior to reserving your spot, I can schedule a discovery call with you to answer any questions and make sure that this experience is a good fit for you.

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE PART OF THE RETREAT?
The retreat will be a small, intimate group of 4 women plus Chelsea at the host.

WHO IS LEADING THE RETREAT?
The retreat will be led by Chelsea Fribourg, with support from a couple of other local facilitators for some of the practices like yoga, breathwork, massage, etc.

WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT WILL BE PROVIDED AROUND THE RETREAT?
Chelsea will host a group call leading up to the retreat, along with 1 emotion code session (30 minutes) and 1 body code session (60 minutes) prior to the retreat. During the retreat each participant will receive 2 emotion code sessions . After the retreat, each person will receive 1 emotion code session and 1 body code session as part of the retreat cost. Additional sessions are available for purchase individually as desired for $55 per emotion code session and $85 per body code session. Finally there will be an integration call afterwards, all of which aim to make this a deeply nourishing and supportive experience.

WHERE WILL WE BE STAYING?
We will be staying at Chelsea's family home Casa Cascada (link to Airbnb listing). The rooms are chosen by participants during the booking process.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE?
8 nights of accommodation at Casa Cascada, all local, organic, and freshly prepared meals (except 2-3 meals as desired by the group), private ground transportation in a comfortable car, 2 yoga classes, local outings to the beach and various activities, as well as all practices, teachings, and meditations.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
We suggest packing light and making comfort a priority. October and November in Costa Rica can bring some rain, but is otherwise quite warm. You will need minimal clothing during your time here (shorts, t-shirts, bathing suits, and flip flops!) Participants will receive a suggested packing list prior to departure.

IS COSTA RICA SAFE?
Costa Rica is considered a safe country to visit. Travellers to Costa Rica are recommended to exercise the usual travel precautions (storing valuable items in a safe, keeping an eye on personal bags while moving around, etc.) My family including two small children have called this town home for over 4 years now without any problems.
