Sacred + Business + Play
A 7-day ocean immersion.
Epic transformational magic.
Belonging.
Kindred spirits.
January 20-26, 2027
Playa del Coco, Costa Rica
You have a big mission.
You can feel the next move.
It can't be done alone.
It wasn't meant to be.
For the past six years I've run this in private and group containers.
Unrolling the divine's highest level path, and the business to match.
This is the first time the doors open on my sacred land in Costa Rica.
For thousands of years the path has been the same.
You prepare.
You come to the temple on sacred land.
You're walked through it by someone who has already crossed.
You go home different.
Your dharma, your mission, your business, your legacy.
All in the temple together.
We unfold what's already there.
Together we call it forward and shape the structure that carries it.
A structure that can hold your multidimensionalness.
This is a calibrated container where it's safe to bring all of it.
Your deepest cosmic expression, your work, your mission, your legacy.
You don't have to shrink to fit anyone else's system.
The work here honors your unique magic and amplifies it. We don't override it.
Ritual will mark each step of this sacred journey together.
The cosmos will be read.
Waterfalls. Ziplining. Snorkeling.
Somatic movement practices.
The body will release what the mind could not.
We will move with the rhythms of the land.
The little kid in you who just wants to play?
Bring them.
That's the whole point.
Laughing.
Playing.
Howling at the moon.
You feel light.
You feel expansive.
Heaven on earth,
even while you do the big, world-shifting things.
With a smile on your face.
And we talk about business, and the sacred.
Money gets handled differently here.
Clean. Conscious.
You will have a written plan
that touches the totality of your multidimensionalness.
Your money. Your business. Your legacy.
We build that privately, one on one, customized to you.
Never on display in the room.
Including how to ground it into the 3D,
with the Business Advisory plan.
Part field-holding, part architecture.
We summon the natural laws into service so the universe can do the heavy lifting.
Same mission. Now you're doing it with your soul turned all the way up and a grin on your face.
All attuned to the new version of you
that holds the level you just walked through.
I don't just hand you one plan.
We unfold it.
Attuned through your soul.
Your highest path.
Co-created with the divine, through the mystery teachings.
What you're reaching for can't be bought.
It doesn't exist yet.
You're the one building it.
We just get you out of the way so it can come through.
Most people leave a retreat feeling their fullest expression, then hit the contraction when they try to bring the new version of themselves back into real life.
So I stay.
For six weeks after, we keep working your plan and your articulation in conversation, and we tune it to fit the version of you that walked out of the temple, not the one who walked in.
All while life is still happening.
You don't put your world on hold to answer what's moving through you.
I hold the new level with you, so you don't default back to the old one when things get sketchy.
And they will.
Jen built the right life on paper.
The nonprofit. The house. The family.
Nothing visibly broken. Something stirring underneath.
The nonprofit, transferred.
The Buffalo house, sold $40K over asking.
Two homes by the ocean. Both rented. Both appreciating.
Both turned into vacation homes where families with autistic kids can take real vacations. Together.
Under six months from start to a life that didn't exist when we began.
She now lives at the ocean.
"It felt like Carissa poked a straw into my soul and breathed life back into me."
Eleven seats.
Application only.
The next step is a short application and a time on my calendar.
From there, we'll have a private conversation about what you're carrying and whether this is the week for it.
Real talk.
I'm Carissa DiRado.
Strategic Business & Legacy Advisor. Fractional COO.
Working on my handstands.
📍 NY · NH · Costa Rica
I read the whole board.
The business model. The money.
The properties. The life.
25 years inside real financials and real businesses.
Thousands of tax returns. K-1s.
I know how money actually moves.
This is the exact work I run with high-level awakened business owners
inside my private Business and Legacy advisory.
And it's the same system I used to build the life of my dreams.
What the life of my dreams looks like for me:
- Three sacred homes. Buffalo, a 100-acre New Hampshire homestead, a Costa Rica beach house.
- A 15-year landlord and property investor. I do money differently.
- Raising a sovereign, solid 17-year-old son.
- A clean divorce, on my own terms.
- A lifelong adventurer and peak-performance athlete. Skiing, mountain biking, and hiking all over the world.
- 10+ years a CrossFitter. A former pro downhill racer. An Adirondacks 46er.
- Former van lifer. Former top-producing mortgage lender.
This system is the structure under all of it.
It's how I stay lit without blowing a fuse.
$5,997 early bird.
$6,997 regular.
Double occupancy. Want a room to yourself? A single supplement applies.
A $1,000 deposit holds your seat. Non-refundable, transferable to a future retreat.
Getting there
Fly into Liberia (LIR). Playa del Coco is a short ride from the airport.
Airport transfer isn't included. A taxi runs about $50, and they take American cash.
Taxis and Ubers around town are easy.
What's included
Your seat for the full week. Your room. Your food.
The boat excursion and snorkeling. Included, not extra.
And six weeks with me after.
What's not included
Your flight. The airport transfer.
A room to yourself, if you want one. That's the single supplement.
Eleven seats.
Application only.
The next step is a short application and a time on my calendar.
From there, we'll have a private conversation about what you're carrying and whether this is the week for it.
Inside the conversations
Your house is on fire while you rearrange the furniture
A no-bullshit conversation with my mentor Lindsay Wilson on money as a weapon we're taking back, fixing the broken masculine in business, and what to do when your life looks perfect but feels wrong.
Business is the ultimate spiritual practice
With Lauren on the True North podcast. We talk about being psychic on purpose, building money and business structures your soul can actually live in, and why you have to fire the version of you that built the cage.
This isn't coaching. She activates something in you. I operate from my soul, not my human.
Sara Semon
Founder of Gigi's Grimoire
One hour cracked me open. It wasn't mindset, it was a wave. I walked to a church sobbing and spent two days just letting it move through me.
Libby Hoffman
Founder of Elegance Lab
If you're ready to create a life people would call impossible, this is your sign. You and your reality won't be the same.

Impressive on paper, but it was killing me. Now I'm finally playing at my highest level. A dream come true.

Crystal Lynn
Founder of Badass Butterfly Spiritual Life Coaching
Godsend. I walked away clear and grounded, with a concrete plan instead of holding everything in my head.
