Return to Self is a transformational wellness retreat hosted by Angelica Warren of Sedona, Arizona, designed for those seeking a deeper connection with themselves, nature, and their next chapter in life.

Set within the peaceful surroundings of Villa Scutaro, a private rainforest villa nestled in Costa Rica's Central Pacific region, this intimate retreat offers the opportunity to slow down, reset, and reconnect away from the distractions of everyday life. Surrounded by lush tropical landscapes, abundant wildlife, exotic birds, and the calming sounds of nature, guests will experience a serene environment designed to support reflection, healing, and personal growth.

Throughout the retreat, Angelica will guide participants through a carefully curated program of yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, NLP-based mindset coaching, sound healing, and transformational wellness sessions. Each experience is designed to help participants release what no longer serves them, reconnect with their authentic selves, and develop tools that support lasting change long after the retreat ends.

Beyond the wellness programming, guests will explore some of Costa Rica's most beautiful natural treasures. Included experiences feature a coastal boat excursion to a private island, a waterfall and natural pool adventure through the rainforest, and access to several of the country's most stunning beaches, including one consistently ranked among Costa Rica's top beach destinations.

Combined with fresh locally sourced meals, luxury accommodations, meaningful connection, and unforgettable experiences, Return to Self offers an opportunity to step away from routine and return home feeling renewed, inspired, and transformed.

This isn't just a vacation. It's a return to yourself.

My name is Angelica Joy, and I am passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves and create meaningful transformation from the inside out.

Born and raised in Iowa, my journey eventually led me to Sedona, Arizona, where I deepened my spiritual practice and began exploring the powerful connection between the mind, body, and breath. What started as a personal quest for healing and self-discovery became a lifelong passion for understanding how we create lasting change.

There was a time in my life when stress, worry, and the demands of everyday life seemed to be running the show. Through Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), breathwork, meditation, and years of personal development, I discovered tools that helped me shift limiting patterns, reconnect with myself, and experience life from a completely different perspective.

Today, I help others do the same. My work blends NLP, breathwork, guided meditation, and self-awareness practices to support personal growth, emotional resilience, and transformation. I believe that lasting change doesn't come from becoming someone new. It comes from remembering who you are beneath the conditioning, beliefs, and stories that no longer serve you.

I believe we all have the capacity to create profound change in our lives. Sometimes we simply need the right tools, the right support, and the willingness to begin.
