Recalibrating Capacity is a week-long, embodied retreat held at the Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort in Nosara, Costa Rica, hosted by Ilana Singer Siegal with Annie Trainor.

This retreat is designed for people who carry responsibility—visibly or quietly—and want to continue showing up with care and clarity without relying on grit, over-functioning, or self-neglect. It is especially supportive for those who are capable and committed, yet feel stretched thin, and who wish to prevent burnout rather than recover from it.

Through an integrative approach that weaves neuroscience, nervous system awareness, and embodied learning, participants explore how analytical, intuitive, and relational ways of knowing can work together. The emphasis is on learning to notice, listen to, and understand the nervous system in real time—restoring choice, steadiness, and sustainable boundaries.

Rather than pushing for change, this retreat creates conditions for clarity to emerge naturally. Participants leave with practical, embodied tools and a shared language that can be applied at home, at work, and in moments that have previously led to overwhelm or collapse.

At its core, this practice is about recalibrating capacity so that presence, care, and responsibility can be sustained—while also making room to experience life in its full spectrum.

Retreat Leaders
Ilana Singer Siegal

(E-RYT500)

Ilana Singer Siegal is a facilitator, coach, and teacher whose work centers on helping people engage more fully with their lives—individually and in relationship. She is known for her ability to hold steady, attuned space, particularly in moments of transition, uncertainty, and complexity.

Her work is rooted in the practice of full-spectrum living: an approach that welcomes all parts of a person and their experience to the table—not only what’s working, and not only what needs fixing. Together, the work involves refining what is already supportive, gradually releasing what no longer serves, and building greater capacity to meet life as it is, with more choice and clarity.

Ilana specializes in supporting individuals as they navigate life transitions, difficult conversations, grief and loss, and the plateaus that can emerge in both personal and professional contexts. Her approach blends embodied awareness, relational inquiry, and practical reflection, moving from the simple to the complex, one step at a time.

The work can feel playful and exploratory at times—and at others, vulnerable or unfamiliar, as old patterns loosen and new ways of being take shape. Ilana creates environments where this discomfort is held with care, allowing insight and forward movement to emerge without force.

At its core, her facilitation invites participants to bring all parts of themselves into the room. From that place, new ways of relating, deciding, and living become possible—often opening more space, ease, and capacity than participants imagined.

Annie Trainor

Yoga Teacher (E-RYT500)

Annie Trainor is a therapist and facilitator who works with individuals ready to create lives they don’t feel the need to escape. She brings a broad range of experience working with people across ages, identities, and life stages, and grounds her work in a deeply person-centered approach that honors each participant as the expert of their own lived experience.

Annie believes meaningful growth often happens at the edge of comfort—when people feel supported enough to explore what is unfamiliar or tender. Her facilitation style is warm, discerning, and gently challenging, creating space for honest self-exploration without judgment.

Her work integrates somatic and experiential approaches that engage both body and mind, drawing from modalities such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS). This allows the work to move beyond conversation alone, supporting deeper awareness, regulation, and integration.

At the heart of Annie’s practice is a commitment to integrity, curiosity, and unconditional positive regard. She invites participants to show up as their unmasked selves and offers steady support as they reconnect with what feels most true, grounded, and alive.
