About
This is not just a retreat.
It's an awakening.
This experience is for the open-hearted, intuitive, and empathetic souls who feel there is more connection, more depth, and more magic between humans and animals.
Whether you've explored intuition, meditation, telepathy, energy work, or just feel spiritually curious, this retreat will teach you how to confidently open that channel and communicate with animals in a grounded, safe, respectful, and transformative way.
During five luminous days in paradise, you will:
-
Deepen your intutive gifts.
-
Practice animal communication with local wildlife (monkeys, whales, cats, dogs and more).
-
Immerse yourself in both ocean and jungle energy.
-
Connect with like-minded souls who feel like home.
-
Experience profound connection - to animals, to nature, and to yourself.
You will also have the opportunity to enjoy everything Costa Rica has to offer - yoga, surfing, snorkeling, sunsets, etc.
The Experience
Wake up to the sound of the ocean and monkeys in the trees. Let your mind wonder about what the monkeys are saying...
After a nourishing plant-based breakfast, join your fellow humans at Carrie's workshop, where you learn and understand techniques and insights on animal communication and begin to understand the deeper level of connection that is available to you.
Take the teachings and apply them---at your own pace---during the wildlife adventures and when we meet local dogs and cats.. A perfect "classroom" for you to be guided and experience how you access your unique intuitive gifts.
Decompress and allow your body to integrate what you've learned with soulful activities---restorative yoga, walking on the beach, swimming, surfing, and more.
Wind down watching the sunset over the ocean, with an evening meditation and dinner with your fellow retreat members.

Your Guides For The Week
Carrie Kenady
Expert Animal Communicator + Retreat Facilitator
Carrie’s journey as an animal communicator began at just six years old—through an experience that would shape the rest of her life. After being attacked by an abused and neglected dog, she endured 20 stitches and multiple plastic surgeries. But what stayed with her wasn’t fear; it was compassion. As a child she felt something most people couldn’t understand—deep empathy for the dog who had hurt her. She intuitively knew he wasn’t bad but instead misunderstood and afraid. When she found out he was put to sleep, she felt sadness and heartbreak instead of relief. She knew he deserved a better life, one in which he was viewed as a sacred companion, teacher, healer, and protector.
That moment became the quiet beginning of a lifelong calling. Over time, Carrie realized that animals are not just companions. They are deeply sentient beings with emotions, wise and multi-dimensional perspectives, and healing messages of their own.
Today, Carrie's work is rooted in that same knowing she carried as a child. She has been an advocate and voice for all animals. She helps humans understand them on a deeper level and teaches the importance of showing dignity and respect to all species.
As a psychic medium, Carrie can connect with all living animal species as well as those who have crossed over. She delivers clear evidence from beloved pets and can tune in to their physical and emotional health, favorite things, favorite memories, and unique details that only their owners can validate.
Carrie is continually amazed by what animals share and teach us. They often remind her that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and that we're only here on "Earth School" for a brief moment in time. She believes animals teach us unconditional love and how to live in the moment.
"They heal, protect, and serve as our deeply-devoted and loyal companions. Our relationship with them should always be sacred," says Carrie.
Carrie's passion is to help as many animals and their owners as she can. She lives in Lexington, Kentucky, with her human daughter and one dog, two cats, two guinea pigs, and one hamster.

Accomodations
Tucked along the shores of Santa Teresa on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, this oceanfront retreat is framed by vibrant tropical greenery and rolling jungle hills. The handcrafted bungalows, made from rich natural hardwoods, provide a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that feels deeply connected to the environment.
Begin your day with the rhythm of the ocean and the sounds of local wildlife, take a refreshing dip in the sea, or enjoy a peaceful stroll along the sand at sunset. Evenings invite you to gather over shared meals by the water or unwind in a hammock shaded by the surrounding trees.
