A Costa Rican Adventure

with Martha Beck and Rowan Mangan

Monday, Jan 20 - Saturday, Jan 25, 2025
Imiloa, Costa Rica

Does your life need a “pause” button?
Could you use some time to reconnect with who you are and what you’re really here to do?

How about a retreat in Costa Rica with Martha Beck and Rowan Mangan?!

You’re invited to the first-ever Pure.Wild.Self Retreat.

Pure.Wild.Self is an intentional break in the year for kindred spirits who feel bewildered and want to feel be-wilder-ed. It’s a connection point for a special group of people who feel the pull to re-wild themselves… and to rewild our whole damn world.

We don’t know about you, but we’ve been feeling the need to go where we can breathe again. We need to pause. To see the stars and feel the earth beneath our feet. 

If you’d like to do the same—along with some kindred spirits—this is your invitation to the first Pure.Wild.Self retreat: Costa Rica, January 2025.

Martha Beck and Elizabeth Gilbert are not only towering figures in the fields of creativity, healing, and spirituality, they are also best friends who inspire each other just as much as they inspire millions of readers and followers.

This weekend-long workshop will provide a rare opportunity to study with both Marty and Liz together, as they share all they learned over the decades about the creative process.

Participants will be led through a series of experiences and exercises designed to open the imagination, subdue fear and imposter syndrome, and allow inspiration to flow.

This workshop is for everyone from professional “creatives” to those who are just looking for an inspiring re-set in their lives.

It’s time. You are ready for that next step; you know it’s bigger and more powerful than personal growth.

You feel a deeper call for purpose in your life, and you know it will quite literally take you to places you’ve never been. You know your next steps will help heal not only yourself, but also other people and the world. And those other people — the ones you know you are meant to connect with — well, you can almost see them taking shape in your peripheral vision. These people are part of your village.

If this sounds familiar, join me for one of our two 2024 African STARs (Self-Transformation Adventure Retreats). Spend a few delicious days—in an intimate group of no more than 12 people—being coached by me, by Master Coach and tracker Boyd Varty, and by my team, in one of the most magical places in the world: Londolozi Game Reserve, South Africa.

5 PATHS TO YOUR PURPOSE

A FREE Masterclass with Martha Beck

REGISTER TODAY FOR INSTANT ACCESS

Do you ever feel a bit purposeless? As you do laundry or answer endless emails, does something in you keep insisting you’re meant to do more?

That something is correct.

You have a unique life purpose, one that’s meant to serve the world and fill your days with meaning. You were born to recognize that purpose … but chances are you don’t. Early in life, most of us learn to ignore our purpose and do random things that other people value.

It’s time to unlearn that pattern.

Part of Martha Beck’s purpose is to help other people find their purpose. She’s offering an exciting, free masterclass that will help you notice and name the paths to your purpose that are always opening at your feet, though you may not be able to see them.

Register today to receive a recording of Martha’s FREE masterclass, 5 Paths to Your Purpose.

The Way of Integrity Workshop

- Monday, Jan 9, 2023
Joseph-Beth Booksellers
The Way of Integrity book cover and event January 9 6pm ET virtual workshop event hosted by Joseph-Beth Booksellers, for details, visit josephbeth.com/event

Join bestselling author, life coach, and sociologist Martha Beck for an interactive live workshop based on her New York Times bestseller, The Way of Integrity. Register at the link below to join this virtual event.

The Way of Integrity shows how “integrity”—being in harmony with ourselves—is the key to a meaningful and joyful life. Martha Beck says in her book, “Integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period.”

Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us—people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits—all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole. Martha takes us on a spiritual adventure that will not only change the direction of our lives, but bring us to a place of genuine happiness.

“This radiant book will not only change your life but perhaps even save it.” — ELIZABETH GILBERT

“A teacher, a mother, a sage, Martha holds our hand as she leads us back home to ourselves.” — GLENNON DOYLE

If you asked me what a perfect day would look like for me, it would definitely include hanging out with Elizabeth Gilbert—and YOU—and talking about life’s big questions:

  • What does it really mean to be true to yourself? 
  • How do you sustain your own integrity in the face of social pressure to conform? 
  • What does real success feel like? How can I get to it?

THE WAY OF INTEGRITY is my newest book and the one that means more to me than anything else I’ve ever made. Glennon Doyle has described it as “the precise book needed as we head into this post-pandemic new world as our new selves.”

I can’t wait for you all to read it!  

This is your invitation to join us, April 13 at 6 pm ET! Bring your pajamas, your couch, and your sweet soul.
