You Are The Sun ~ Costa Rica Women's Retreat ages 35 - 70+  

AnnapurnaBlue Heath and Wellness

AnnapurnaBlue Wellness is a sanctuary for transformation, healing, and self-discovery. Our award-winning retreats are thoughtfully designed to help individuals reconnect with their purpose, release life’s obstacles, and rediscover balance in mind, body, and spirit. Blending ancient Tibetan healing wisdom with modern wellness practices, AnnapurnaBlue offers a truly holistic approach to living well. Each retreat is set in breathtaking natural environments—from serene forests and lakes in Minnesota to the beaches of Costa Rica, the sacred lands of Nepal, and the tranquil coasts of Greece. Participants are immersed in daily practices such as Qigong, sound healing, meditation, breathwork, and mindset workshops rooted in the Five Life Poisons: anger, ignorance, attachment, ego, and jealousy. Through these teachings, guests learn to transform negative emotions into clarity, wisdom, and joy. What makes AnnapurnaBlue Wellness special is our deep commitment to whole-person healing and community. Every retreat is guided by compassionate experts with decades of experience who support each participant’s journey toward peace and empowerment. Guests leave not only renewed, but with practical tools for lasting change—and the gift of connection with like-minded souls. Whether you are seeking personal growth, emotional healing, or a peaceful reset, AnnapurnaBlue Wellness provides the space, guidance, and inspiration to help you awaken the best within yourself.

Promoting Wellness Through Our Wellness Retreats 

AnnapurnaBlue Health and Wellness 

AnnapurnaBlue Health &amp; Wellness: A Sanctuary for Renewal AnnapurnaBlue Health &amp; Wellness was created from a simple yet powerful belief: that true healing happens when we care for the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Founded by Deborah Peteler, AnnapurnaBlue offers transformative wellness retreats and programs designed for individuals navigating life transitions, health challenges, emotional overwhelm, and personal reinvention. With over 30 years of experience in trauma-informed care and holistic wellness practices, Deborah blends ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic approaches to create safe, supportive environments where real healing can take place. Our retreats — held both locally in Minnesota and internationally — are intentionally designed to help participants slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. Through gentle Qigong movement, meditation, sound healing, breathwork, mindset sessions, and meaningful group dialogue, participants gain tools to manage stress, navigate change, and build emotional resilience. AnnapurnaBlue is especially supportive of women ages 35–70+ navigating grief, life-altering illness, menopause, empty nesting, career transitions, and other profound shifts. We believe these seasons of life are not endings — they are powerful invitations to rise. Our programs are inclusive, nurturing, and deeply respectful of each individual’s journey. Many participants leave feeling restored, empowered, and connected — not only to themselves, but to a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Whether someone is seeking healing, clarity, rest, or renewal, AnnapurnaBlue provides a sacred pause from the noise of daily life and an opportunity to move forward with intention.
