Cleanse your body with holistic gourmet cuisine, kickstart your health with 3 daily yoga, pilates, and meditation classes, learn to balance on a surf board, and soak up the local flavour through chocolate making workshops and volcano boarding. Surround yourself with other like-minded women in a powerful community. Allow yourself to be pampered. Learn to live your biggest life.  Escape to beautiful and exotic Nicaragua to enjoy some much needed “me time”.

Carol Schulte 

Communication trainer, professional speaker, expert yogini, and certified coach, Carol is on a mission to empower women to live BIG lives (how many folks can say they’ve lived in an Ashram, shaved their head, or bungee jumped naked?) no matter what life throws at them.

She holds a BFA in Theatre Performance and an MA in Communication, and is the creator of ‘Spark your G.E.N.I.U.S.™’ ~ a program for fabulous women to step into their true brilliance and take ACTION. She has led workshops & yoga retreats internationally from the UK to Sri Lanka, and has lived, worked, and volunteered in 8 countries including Thailand, India, Peru, and New Zealand.
