Rooted. Raw. Real.
A New Earth Retreat as Revolution.
There is an otherworldly, primordial power that ignites when female visionaries gather as equals to witness each other and co-create from their raw and rooted nature.
This is not a playground for spiritual performance; it is a sacred, fiercely protected, private sanctuary designed for the woman who has already walked through the fire of her personal healing, and is now ready to lay down the defensive armor built from years of performance, expectation, and societal judgment.
Held by the intelligent, Divine Feminine grids of Costa Rica, we will come together in sacred sisterhood not to fix what is broken, but to lock in your unique essence and the deep inner wisdom that you have been cultivating yet not fully confident to release.
Unapologetically Woman: The Retreat is the birthplace of your mature, unshakeable sovereignty. An intimate space to be witnessed in your raw truth, activate your sacred creative frequency, and finally anchor in the energetic boundaries so you can stop managing everyone else’s world and finally completely command your own.
There is a sacred medicine that only you hold. The world is waiting; it is time for your truth to be unleashed.
An unapologetically luxurious experience.
You will spend 6 nights at an all-inclusive private eco-luxury retreat center where the jungle meets the sea on Costa Rica’s lush southern Pacific coast.
Everything will be provided for you to be nourished at a mind, body and soul level.
Luxury private ensuite air-conditioned rooms, farm-to-table exquisite meals, specially curated ceremonies, epic excursions and plenty of rest and restoration time to enjoy at the pool or in the crystal clear rivers.
Come immerse yourself in the pristine frequencies of Costa Rica.

Judit Ortega, Spain
I want to express my deepest gratitude to Jutta. The level of support, presence, and containment she provided was truly incredible. It created a foundation of safety that allowed such deep transformation to unfold.
On a personal level, Jutta's guidance has brought a true revolution to my life. It has helped me reclaim my personal power and realize that what I was seeking externally already exists within me. This shift has created movement in my relationships and professional path.
Professionally, I feel clearer than ever. For years, I believed that showing up on camera was simply not for me. I have completely released that fear. I feel I have finally stepped into my place and am embracing my role in this world with much greater sovereignty, confidence, and strength. Now it is not only something I understand intellectually, my body also feels safe enough to support me in the process.
I left the experience feeling far more present, deeply connected to myself, and therefore more connected to the world and the service I am here to offer. I am incredibly grateful to Jutta for creating and holding transformative space.
Lauren Riley, UK
"I am honestly so grateful for finding Maria. She provided such a safe space to not only allow me to see more of the real me, but also to broach areas of my life that I hadn’t felt safe enough before to dredge up from the depths of me.
Before working with Maria I felt very stuck and stagnant with my life without knowing where I wanted to go. I was putting a lot of my energy into relationships where I wasn’t getting the same energy back, I felt stuck in them but also had fear of letting them go. I was afraid to speak up and be my authentic self fearing I would be misunderstood. I was dealing with a lot of shame and had a history of punishing myself.
Since working with Maria I have felt a huge shift & transformation. It happened so quickly and encouraged me to keep moving forward on this journey. Maria has helped my self worth and trust in myself massively. I feel comfortable now to turn my attention inwards and give myself the love, attention and validation I deserve. I’m much more tuned in to what feels good and I allow myself to follow that feeling which has lead me to INCREDIBLE opportunities opening up!
I will forever treasure Maria!"
Sally Caruso, US
The biggest change for me through Jutta's work was my sovereignty. It provides empowerment, boundaries & self confidence.
Jutta walks her talk and is the real deal. I benefitted from her passionate mission in life; to help women overcome scarred pasts & be sovereign moving forward. As a retired social worker, I see the need for empowering women from the inside out.
My closest friend said as we were towards the end of the 12 weeks, "You have no idea how much you've changed since starting with Jutta."
I became more transparent and authentic in challenging situations that would have shut me down in the past. I can now speak my truth without defense or explanation. I communicate more clearly, resolve misunderstandings quickly, and no longer hide who I am.
I am more confident, fulfilled, and happy. I take radical responsibility for my life, set healthier boundaries, and no longer fall into victimhood or blame.
I feel more empowered than ever, and no one can take that away from me unless I allow it."

UNAPOLOGETICALLY WOMAN
Are you ready to breathe, move and create as ONE with Mother Gaia?
JOIN US IN THE COSTA RICAN JUNGLE
THIS IS FOR THE WOMAN WHO
Has recognized the limitation of endless healing loops and is ready to become the woman she knows she is.
You know you are not broken and you do not need to be fixed. You are completely done with the paradigm of constant self-critism, entry-level workshops, and spiritual performance.
This retreat marks the end of all healing loops and constant self analysis and is the permission slip you never needed, to take up space in your full sovereignty by supporting you to fully accept yourself in your beautiful wholeness.
Is ready to master the architecture of sustainable leadership.
You have already become aware where your leaky boundaries around being everyone’s support network were draining your energy.
Now it’s time for the next level of your mastery - learning how to lock in the crystal-clear boundaries required to protect your vitality so you can lead yourself towards your grandest vision. Sustaining your precious energy, and using it to lead yourself into your higher purpose, is the next level of sacred leadership you’ve been looking for.
Feels the call to fully integrate and embody the next-level identity emerging from within.
You have already cracked open the shell of who society expected you to be, and now, you are ready to completely stabilize and anchor the expansive, true self you have seen emerge in scattered, potent moments.
This retreat isn’t here to help you find yourself, you know exactly who and where you are. It is about the deliberate process of full energetic integration.
It is your space to claim your fierce uniqueness, back your deep inner wisdom, and fully inhabit your true authority so you can walk your unique path with unshakeable alignment.
Is ready to fully live, lead, and create from a space of unfiltered, expanded expression.
You have already spent years doing the deep emotional alchemy to heal your old blocks and dissolve your inner restrictions. That loop can be closed.
It is time to live fully from your true self expression without fear of judgment from friends, family or society as a whole. There’s no point in uncovering the magic of who you are, if you can’t live it unapologetically.
You will walk away from this retreat wholly in your power and apolozising to no one for it.
Is ready to collapse the false badge of hyper-independence and unlock the power of true surrender.
You have recognized that thinking you must carry it all alone isn't a sign of strength; it is an exhausting energetic drain. You are ready to stop rejecting support, lay down your armour, and realize that your ultimate empowerment lies in your capacity to receive.
This fiercely protected circle is your space to allow vulnerability to become your superpower. By opening up to be deeply held and supported by a curated circle of connect women, you clear the channel to fully relax your nervous system, surrender your control, and effortlessly receive from the profound magic of being seen and accepted in your naked truth.
Ready to heal the ancestral sister wound, reclaiming the sacred foundation that anchors true feminine leadership.
The ancestral sister wound is ancient and deep. We are the generation of leaders being called to fully heal our relationship as women, not only to one another, but to the land and the Divine Feminine.
Healing our fractured foundations is the only way we can fulfill our purpose of weaving a sovereign, New Earth way of being.
This retreat will allow you to see and be seen by potent women who also own their magic and truth, opening a powerful gateway into your Queenhood.
Woman, it’s time for us to rise together.
Rhonda Sanchez, Trinidad and Tobago
I'm deeply grateful and so blessed to have had an opportunity to work with Maria. She held me in so much love and compassion. I felt seen, heard and completely understood.
Being in her energy is like having a spirit guide in human form with you constantly guiding you. She IS an angel in human form! I'm convinced!
She had a gift of finding deeply hidden energetic blocks and held the capacity to hold me through every one of them without wavering, even when I pushed back!
So much conviction, and so much breakthrough and up levels have come true for me!
This has been one of the most impactful encounters and experiences of my life. I'm a complete badass now! I am living in the freedom I wished and dreamed about!
Trish Gallagher, US
No matter where you are on your soul journey, Jutta’s guidance will meet you there and provide profound teachings, insights and practices.
Having experienced many teachers over the years who guided me along my path of self-discovery, Jutta truly exceeded my expectations. She introduces information and practices that deeply penetrate your soul to extract whatever may be impeding you from living your highest intended life experience.
Jutta shares valuable information in a way that serves each individual and allows the space for sharing in a safe environment.
Working with Jutta allowed me to become aware of issues that were holding me back from moving forward with confidence, clarity, a deeper appreciation of myself and my own spiritual gifts and abilities.
Jutta does everything with integrity, grace and professionalism. She is a highly gifted and advanced teacher with a wonderful and grounded personality.
If you are interested in an experience that can change your life in practical and profound ways, Jutta's guidance is for you.
Nicola Rutledge, UK
Working with Maria is an incredible experience. I’m still struggling to put it into words my experience with her but it shifted so much for me. She has a unique power to make you feel safe and at the same time help you transform hidden parts of yourself that you may not have even known existed.
I have worked with many “spiritual healers” but Maria is a true alchemist with a powerful connection and intuition, yet she is grounded with an incredible sensitivity and heart.
She has the capacity to hold space better than I’ve known anyone else do. There are not many healers who can be trusted to take people into very deep or painful spaces but Maria is one of them, and when you come out the other side it’s like, no big deal!
I really valued her ability to cut the bull shit and not let me get trapped in my own stories. She is the one if you are ready to fully integrate and move past constant healing. She holds an energy that mirrors what’s possible and for me that was a huge part of my ability to integrate the powerful energy shifts we created together.
MEET YOUR GUIDES
Every profound metamorphosis requires two forces: the truth that gets revealed, and the truth that gets embodied.
Together, Jutta and Maria hold these exact dual frequencies of ultimate transformation.
Operating as a unified, powerful mirror of sacred sisterhood, they provide the unshakeable safety required for you to lay down your defenses and strip off the masks of performance so you can claim the full power of your unique medicine.

ABOUT MARIA BANOBRE
Maria is an energetic architect and master of emotional alchemy, who has been a pivotal catalyst for female visionary leaders seeking to discover and embody their true medicine for the last 10 years.
Blending an unshakeable presence with a fierce, primordial lineage of feminine empowerment, her work is a masterclass in deconditioning. She does not teach women how to become someone new; she creates the flawless energetic blueprints that allow them to dismantle their survival armor, burn away false societal narratives, and claim the absolute authority that already sleeps in their bones.
Her authority is not built on theory, but on a raw, lived initiation. For 15 years, she operated at the absolute pinnacle of high-achieving societal success as a prominent TV director in London. She knows intimately what it feels like to hold the identity of a hyper-capable, hyper-visible leader and she knows the exact moment the deeper inner self demands that you strip it all away.
Answering a profound soul calling, she chose to collapse her old identity, uproot her life, and relocate to the sacred lands of Costa Rica. Having personally walked through the fire of deep emotional alchemy and identity rebirth, she leads others from a place of total embodiment and crystalline authenticity, with clients often saying that being in her energy is enough to shape and change the way they see, feel and carry themselves.
At Unapologetically Woman: The Retreat, she steps into her native element as a guardian of the Divine Feminine field, and holds space as a mirror of absolute truth so that the women who choose to come together may drop their masks, claim their medicine, and step onto their rightful thrones.
