I N B O D Y 

INBODY Retreat is a seven-day in-person embodiment experience in Nosara, Costa Rica, led by Ailey Jolie. It follows the seven-module arc of the INBODY program, society, lineage, food and weight, relationships, trauma, pleasure, and rewriting your story, but lived in community, on the earth, with daily movement, meditation, group work, somatic practice, and long stretches of unstructured time. It is not a course delivered in person. It is a retreat designed for this setting.

Yes. This is a small, intimate group. Ailey facilitates every session and is present throughout the week. The daily rhythm is designed to hold you, with structure when you need it and spaciousness when you need that instead. You will not be left to figure this out alone.

The same seven body stories from the INBODY program: the cultural body, the inherited body, the fed body, the relational body, the body that survived, the body that feels, and the body you are authoring now. Each day follows one theme through movement, meditation, group work, journalling, and somatic practice. The arc builds across the week.

Pricing varies based on which room you select. All prices include seven nights of accommodation, all meals, and all programming. Flights and airport transfers are not included. A payment plan is available at checkout. Applicable taxes will be applied at checkout.

Choose your room type and complete your booking online. After purchase, you will receive a confirmation email with travel details, packing suggestions, and everything you need to prepare. Room assignments will be communicated closer to the retreat date.

November 21 to 28, 2026. Arrival is Saturday, November 21. Departure is Saturday, November 28. Seven nights and seven full days of programming. Day 1 includes an evening opening and Day 8 is departure morning.

This retreat is for women who are ready to be in their bodies, in community, for a week. You do not need to have completed the INBODY online program. The retreat is a standalone experience that follows the same arc. Whether you are mid-program, finished, or found this through another path, the retreat will meet you where you are. It is not suited for anyone in active crisis who needs stabilisation before going deeper. 

 You are allowed to struggle. This work is not about getting it right. Every session includes explicit permission to step away, rest, or be alone. There will always be a quiet space available. Choosing to step away is not avoidance. It is self-regulation.

Unfortunately we are not available to offer refunds for the retreat. 

 You will leave with a retreat journal, practices you can return to at home, and a connection to the women who held this week with you. Retreat alumni will have access to a private community space to stay connected.

 Ailey Jolie is the creator of the INBODY Method. She holds two Master's degrees in Counselling Psychology and Depth Psychology with an emphasis in Somatic Studies, a certificate in Trauma Recovery from Harvard Medical School, and is a Chartered Psychologist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, and Certified Sex Therapist. She has trained extensively in Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Jungian depth work.

No. INBODY is an educational embodiment program, not a therapeutic one. The retreat is facilitated by Ailey and is designed to be a rich, guided experience, but it is not group therapy and does not replace professional mental health support.

 If you are asking the question, something in you is reaching toward this. Readiness is not a feeling of certainty. It is a willingness to show up without knowing exactly what will happen. That said, trust your own timing. If November 2026 is not right, there may be future offerings.
