A Sister Diamonds Retrospective • Imiloa Institute, Costa Rica • June 26 – July 1, 2026

Just Be:
Soft Power™ Retreat

Six days. 18 women. One invitation: stop striving and experience the power of softness.

For High-Capacity Women

You Don't Need Another Checklist Disguised as Self-Care

You've done enough. You've built the life, the brand, the legacy—but deep down, you're quietly asking: "Where do I go to be poured into without performing?"

This retreat was for the woman who felt the shift coming but needed space to hear what God was saying. For the woman who was tired of being strong every damn day, and ready to remember what softness feels like.

This was not a reward for doing more.
This was her permission to Just Be.

Just Be: The Soft Power Retreat was not a spa escape.

It was not a curated getaway for staged photos and surface-level healing.

It was not a business trip in disguise—and it was not a reward for doing more.

This retreat was created for the woman who's built the life, the brand, the legacy— but deep down, was quietly asking:

"Where do I go to be poured into without performing?"

The Experience

A Day in the Life at Just Be

Every moment was curated to restore your rhythm, not control it. No rush. No pressure to perform.

Morning

Stillness + Soul

Wake to birdsong. Nourishing breakfast. Soul-stirring sessions with Crystal & Dr. Nicole. Begin grounded and centered.

Midday

Rest + Reconnection

Nap. Walk the jungle path. Swim beneath the waterfall. Long, laughter-filled lunch. Rest isn't earned—it's expected.

Afternoon

Unmasking + Breakthroughs

Enter sacred space. Speak truths you've never had space to say. Discover strength in softness.

Evening

Ritual + Restoration

Candlelit dinners. Laughter. Tears. Easier breathing. Feel more you than you have in years.

It was for the woman who...

...felt the shift coming but needed space to hear what God was saying.

...was tired of being strong every damn day, and ready to remember what softness feels like.

...was ready to stop striving and start surrendering—without losing her power.

...had checked every box, carried every load, and was quietly wondering—"Is this all there is?"

The Permission Slip

This was not a reward for doing more.

This was permission to Just Be.

Over six sacred days in the lush heart of Costa Rica, women were guided to:

1
Releasewhat's been silently draining you.
2
Reclaimyour voice, boundaries, and joy.
3
Reconnectwith your body, calling, and your God.
4
Risein your softness, not in your stress.
Morning movement in the open-air pavilion

Surrounded by women who don't need your résumé—only your realness.

Rest is Not the Retreat.

Rest is the Return!

Where the Sisters Stayed

The Sanctuary at Imiloa

From the treetop Bali-style suites to the ocean-view bungalows, every room was intentionally designed to nourish body, mind, and spirit — rising with the sun on a private terrace, winding down beneath a starlit sky.
