Reconnect with Nature, Community, and Yourself in the Costa Rican Rainforest
7 Days • Rancho Margot • Costa Rica • March 8–14, 2027
Limited to 18 women
When was the last time you truly slowed down?
In a world of endless notifications, busy schedules, and constant stimulation, Soil & Soul offers the space to pause, breathe deeply, reconnect with nature, community, and self, truly embracing the Pura Vida Costa Rican culture.
Rancho Margot

Nestled in the lush Costa Rican rainforest, Rancho Margot is a fully regenerative farm where nature, sustainability, and community exist in harmony. Every system, from food and water to energy and agriculture, is thoughtfully designed to work with the land.
Here, you’ll experience what it feels like to live inside a working regenerative ecosystem. Wake up to the sounds of the rainforest, share meals prepared with ingredients grown just steps away, explore the gardens and trails, and discover how a slower, more intentional way of living can transform your perspective.
Rather than simply learning about sustainable living, you’ll become part of it.
Through daily experiences woven into the rhythm of the ranch, you’ll discover how caring for the earth naturally becomes a way of caring for yourself—and return home inspired to bring that same intention into your everyday life.

Stephanie Stiegler
Stephanie began her journey on the world stage as an Olympic-level pairs figure skater for the United States, learning early how discipline, artistry, and trust can shape a life. For the past twenty-eight years, she has coached elite athletes at the world level, a path that ultimately led her to follow a deeper calling: from performance to presence.
Today, Stephanie's passions have evolved into a life rooted in functional nutrition, yoga, breathwork, Vipassana meditation, and the playful freedom of surfing and backpacking around the world. She now brings these passions together through the fully immersive retreats she co-creates. Her guiding philosophy is simple: grow within and hold space for others to do the same. Stephanie's work is a gentle, grounded, and transformative invitation to reconnect with yourself and embrace a more connected way of living.
