You Want Love
So Why Does It Still Feel So Hard?

You have a full life, people admire you, and from the outside it looks like you’re doing fine. But at night, when everything gets quiet, you wonder why love still feels so hard.
You're tired of being the strong one, the capable one — the one who keeps going — while secretly wondering if real love is just not meant for you.
You crave real intimacy but pull away when people get close.
If that’s you, keep reading. You’re exactly who I built this for.
Here's what it can cost to stay where you are.
Another year passes, and love still feels just out of reach.
Staying in the relationship that's slowly draining you—not because it's what you want, but because wanting something better feels impossible.
Choosing the same person in different bodies, while hoping this time will somehow be different.
Spending another New Year's Eve alone—not by choice, but because the same unseen patterns keep repeating.
Giving everything in relationships while receiving almost nothing, until believing that's simply what you deserve.
Meeting someone wonderful, only to self-sabotage it before it has a chance to become real—without understanding why.
Carrying old heartbreak into every new beginning, then wondering why nothing ever feels truly new.
Waiting for the right moment to finally do this work, while the right moment never seems to arrive.
Settling—not all at once, but quietly, slowly, through the small daily choices of a life that never quite becomes what it could have been.
What becomes possible after the retreat.
Patterns become easier to recognize—not because they disappear, but because they're finally visible before they take over.
Waking up and, maybe for the first time, feeling genuinely at home in yourself.
Love is no longer something to chase, but something you embody—in how you speak to yourself, what you allow, and what you walk away from.
Meeting someone and asking, "Are they good for me?" instead of "Are they interested in me?"—and knowing the difference.
No longer explaining yourself to people who were never really listening.
A relationship you've been in for years quietly transforms because you've transformed.
Crying at the retreat—the good kind—and finally putting down something you've carried for years.
Choosing yourself instead of waiting to be chosen—and seeing everything differently because of it.
Feeling desire again. Not desperate, grasping wanting, but clean, clear, open desire. The kind that comes from knowing your own worth.
No longer wondering whether real love is possible.
Knowing it is—because you came back to it.
8 Days to Come Back to Love
A full immersion: morning yoga, daily workshops, afternoon excursions, and evening rituals — all set in a cloud-forest eco-resort at 1,600 meters altitude.
Morning Yoga in El Templo
8–9am daily. Breath-led movement in the open-air yoga shala as mist moves through the cloud forest.
Come Back to Love Workshops
Gourmet Farm-to-Table Meals
Multi-course plant-based meals from organic, locally sourced ingredients. Gathered around communal tables with your group.
Natural Thermal Hot Springs
Afternoon siesta and therapeutic mineral pools in the mountains — misty valley views, complete stillness.
Evening Rituals
Ecstatic dance, tantra, cacao ceremonies, live music, massage. New Year's Eve celebrated with intention and community.
This Is What Mornings Look Like
You wake up in the quiet of the Costa Rican mountains.
The air feels cool on your skin. You wrap yourself in an extra blanket and linger for a few more minutes.
You hear the birds before you reach for your phone.
For the first time in a long time, nothing is asking you to rush, fix, explain, or perform.

MEET YOUR GUIDE
Robyn Vogel, MA
Author, IFS Psychotherapist, Love & Intimacy Coach · Founder of Come Back to Love®
I created Come Back to Love because I know what it feels like to be capable, successful, and still quietly wonder whether love is truly available to you. This work is deeply personal to me. I've walked this path myself, and for more than 20 years I've helped others reconnect with the parts of themselves they learned to protect.
My mission is simple: to help you remember who you truly are, expand your capacity for love, intimacy, and authentic connection, and create a life and relationship you genuinely love. Through immersive, transformational experiences, I support spiritual seekers in reconnecting with their deepest truth and stepping into the lives they're meant to live.
Lori Dye, E-RYT, YACEP, NBC-HWC

This is a woman who’s making the world a better place one heart at a time!

This isn't for you if you if:
You want a party-and-alcohol New Year's, you're looking for a casual vacation rather than real inner work, or you're not ready to feel things.
If that gives you pause you might be exactly who this is for.
Your experience starts the moment you arrive at San José Airport.
From there, we'll take care of the rest. A private shuttle will bring you through Costa Rica's lush mountains, giving you time to slow down, settle in, and leave everyday life behind.
When you arrive at Verdesana, your luggage will be taken to your room while you take in the peaceful surroundings. Perched high in the mountains, the retreat offers sweeping views, fresh air, and the kind of quiet that's hard to find elsewhere.
Over the coming days, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the infinity pool, wander peaceful nature trails, visit nearby waterfalls, and simply let nature do what it does best—help you unwind.
