Creator's Atlas · Costa Rica · January 2027 · Dates subject to change

You already know
who you are.
It's time the world sees her.

A 4-day photography and film retreat in Costa Rica for the woman who is done waiting to look like the person she already is.

This is not a conference. It is not a workshop. It is a vacation with your best friend who happens to be world-class at capturing you.

Sound on

Something happens to you
when you arrive.

The street signs disappear. The buildings stop competing for your attention. The air shifts. Suddenly you want to show your face. You want to talk. You want to be seen.

"Costa Rica does not just change the backdrop. It changes the version of you that shows up."

That is the version I am here to capture. The one that comes out when you are relaxed, present, and surrounded by something bigger than your to-do list.

The villa is quiet luxury. Tropical, clean, stunning. Every corner of that property is a set. Every meal, every sunrise, every waterfall is a moment. And I am there for all of it.

This retreat is for you if...

You are a coach, author, healer, wellness practitioner, or fitness creator who knows your visual brand needs to catch up with where you actually are.

Maybe you have been cobbling together content between sessions, shooting on your phone, or using photos from two years ago. Maybe your website looks like a version of you that no longer exists.

Or maybe you are already solid and you just want someone to execute it beautifully, in a place that matches your energy, so you can walk away with a full season of content done.

"You do not need more strategy. You need someone who genuinely loves what they do to show up for you, fully."

There are only 3 spots, and I want to make sure this is right for you before you apply. We will have a quick Zoom call together. No pressure, just a real conversation.

Here is how the four days flow.

Structured enough to get everything done. Relaxed enough to feel like a vacation.

Before you arrive

Preparation

You will join a private group chat where I send a packing guide, a prep workbook, and script worksheets for your legacy video. You will know exactly what to bring, what to prepare, and what to expect.

Day 1

Arrival and welcome

We all fly in around the same time. I pick everyone up and we drive three and a half hours down to Uvita getting to know each other, already talking about the week ahead. You walk into the villa and your jaw drops. We unpack, grab groceries, ease into a welcome dinner. Light, fun, no pressure. This night is just about arriving.

Day 2

Immersion begins

Sunrise group shoot in golden light, all three of you, easing in. Coffee and breakfast after. Then we move into the villa for midday content creation using every beautiful corner of the property. We film legacy videos in the shade, have a working lunch where we talk through how to use your content, and close with a sunset shoot.

Day 3

Adventure and story

Individual sunrise shoot, then we head out to the waterfall for most of the day. Back at the villa in the afternoon, we film talking-head brand videos in beautiful light. Dinner and real connection to close the night.

Day 4

Slow goodbye

Slow breakfast. Soak it in. Airport transfer. You leave with a full heart and content for the season.

Where you stay

Sol-E-Mar

Set among red palms above Uvita Bay, Sol-E-Mar pairs natural stone and wood with warm terra cotta tones, a private pool, and ocean-facing rooms.

The primary suite pairs a king bed with an outdoor ocean-view shower; the Double Deluxe offers two queens and a double shower. At 300m², the living room is a quiet, green-shaded haven with a sea breeze — its sofa bed sleeps two more.

Every stay includes parking, a full kitchen, a 60″ TV, A/C, hot water, linens, a safe, and free Wi-Fi and international channels throughout.

A full content ecosystem,
built around you.

Everything captured is customized to your brand, your story, your offer. Your script is learned before arrival so the B-roll is already cut to your words. Finished deliverables are edited and delivered after the retreat.

Your legacy video — edited and delivered, built to live on your website for the long term

Cinematic B-roll woven into your legacy video

Batched Reels, ready to post for the season

Villa and waterfall location content

"More content from four days than most people pull together in a season. And it will actually look like you."

Your business deserves a video that does the selling for you.

A legacy video is the most powerful asset you can put on your website. It tells your story, sells your offer, and builds instant trust in under two minutes — shot in a cinematic environment with professional audio, beautiful lighting, and B-roll customized to your brand.

Everyone should have one. Not everyone gets to film theirs in Costa Rica.

I have been in the room.
I know what it takes.

Behind Fodor Fotos and Film, Kat is a photographer and filmmaker with a decade of experience shooting the moments that matter for women building something real.

Long before hosting a retreat, the work was happening inside them. Wellness retreats, leadership immersions, movement and healing gatherings — present as both photographer and participant. That dual experience shaped an understanding of the rhythm, the energy, and what it actually takes to capture transformation as it happens.

Costa Rica is familiar ground. The land, the light, the effect it has on people — that knowledge is built into how this retreat was designed.

This retreat is intentionally small. Three women, four days, one incredible location. Every applicant is vetted personally, not to be exclusive, but to make sure this is genuinely the right fit for where you are in your business.

If it is calling you, trust that.

Every application is read personally. You will hear back within 48 hours.
