- Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Nearly three weeks ago,
eight strangers flew to the mystic jungles
of Costa Rica to join our spiritual retreat.
- It's crazy as hell.
- Our guests have screamed...
- [screams]
- Cried, confessed,
and, yes, even vomited their way
to getting in touch with their core trauma
and begin the process of healing.
- That was [bleep] gnarly.
- The final days of any retreat
always prove to be the hardest,
the most dramatic,
and the most rewarding.
Our hours are numbered.
So let's make each one bloody well count.

Last time on "Lost Resort"...
- I see everybody around me having
all of these spiritual breakthroughs,
and I don't feel anything.
- I've been through a lot in my life.
And I'm hoping to learn to love myself because...
I don't.
- So tell me about this letter.
- This letter...
it's a detailed description of our childhood.
- Why won't you read the letter?
- It's my relationship with my grandmother.
That might be... a lot to take on.
- Tell her. You're her husband.
Tell her what you think and feel.
- I'm not gonna be here
if you have feelings for somebody else.
- At this point, I don't see a way
of, like, recovering from it all.
- Are you saying that you're done?

who wasn't far, thank goodness.
Yesterday she called it.
There's definitely an emotional root to this.

But she did it, and I'm proud of her.

- I'm not having any second decisions about it.
I think it was, you know, the right thing to do.
And that doesn't mean that he's a bad person,
but he's just not the kind of person
I need to be happy.
[serene acoustic music]
- On the other hand,
this is what you're letting go of, right?
I want now for you to tell me what you're calling in.
- Freedom. - Mm, okay.

"Is it gonna be gnarly again?" It's like--
- Bracing themselves. - It's gonna be good.
- Yeah. - We're gonna be good now.
- It'll be good to just catch up
on where our guests are at.
- Mm-hmm. - Let's talk about Thea.
I mean, unfortunately, she had one of her near seizures.
Luckily, we were there to catch her,
and the medics were there.
But, emotionally, I think it's connected to her journey.
- I mean, it's huge for her.
- It's huge. - This is huge.
She's facing her biggest fear.
- Yes.
- Thea, I admire her courage.
And I hope that whatever they have to do
to part ways--
and I believe that they can do that
when they're dealing with the reality of, you know, divorce.
- She's made the decision.
Let's stand in it, just give her space,
and just make sure she's okay. - Yeah.
- Okay, beautiful. Who else have we got?
- Meco.
- I feel like she's starting to stand for herself.
- That's what I think... - Yeah.
- Meco still needs to work on.
- Yes.
- She needs to be loving herself.
- That was one of her intentions of being here...
- Yeah. - Is the self-love.
Today I'm gonna work with Greg.
There's not one human
that doesn't go through really upsetting stuff as a kid.
And so I'm gonna sort of say, "What happened?"
- That's gonna be an incredible one-to-one.
- Yeah, I mean, it could be absolutely amazing.
- Yeah.

This is my last opportunity with him.
And, really, it's up to him.
I can only take him as far as he's willing to go.

I'm gonna do a session
with Robin and Christine.
- Wow.

that Robin's sister had sent to her
about what Robin experienced growing up.
- Mm. - Mm.
- I think that will be beautiful
once Christine has had a chance to read this
and have a bit of compassion coming for mama.
The letter has the key.
- Just you saying that, my whole body's like, "Wow."
- Yeah.
- Like, when she receives the letter
and gets to really understand who her mother truly is...
- Yeah.
- Rather than her projection of her mother.
But, like, seeing her mother as that little girl
who had to go through all those things.
- Wow. - Yeah, that's right.
- Christine and Robin's dynamic
takes center stage a little bit--
a lot of bit right now.
But I'm not sure their relationship
can change and grow.

Yet she's been incredibly supportive
when other guests have had victories.
I think Meco is finally ready for her breakthrough.
So I've scheduled a one-on-one for her with Oneika.
- We're gonna play around with a style of yoga
called restorative yoga.
- Never done yoga before, ever. - Never?
- My reason for coming here was,
"How can I love myself?"
Like, I didn't grow up being told I was beautiful.
I didn't grow up being told anything positive.
And being in foster care, it's shitty.
So I tend to feel like I'm not deserving of love
'cause I never really had it.
It's so much easier to get into it
when not everyone's around. [chuckles]
- Yes, it is.
- But, like, if it's a personal thing,
a group thing is not really gonna get me to come out...
- Yeah. - Like, with the deep stuff.
- Mm-hmm.
- There have been several times when she's actively said,
"I'm not doing this. I don't want to participate."
- I don't have nothing I'm angry about.
I already know I'm not doing this, so...

of being able to push through
some of the big blocks that she has.

- It's simple metaphysics.
When you dissolve heavy energy,
you are then left with a space to responsibly fill.
Please come on in.
So much hucha has been dumped by these guys.
And now in tonight's ceremony,
we will show them how to fill themselves right up
with joy, happiness, and fun.
Welcome, everybody,
to our final...
ceremony, our final celebration
for what has been
a life-transforming three weeks.
To be saying, "I am"
and "I will"...
[ambient music]
As great creators of the rest of our lives.
- The transmutation of hucha into sami
is what this elemental dance that we're gonna do
gives us the opportunity to engage in,
with the partnership of the elements
and the togetherness of the community.
And as we close the doors to this retreat,
we open the doors to the rest of our lives.
- And like Whitney says,
"I want to dance with somebody who love me."
- Yes! [laughter and applause]
[soft music]
- Slowly starting to feel
the energy of water taking over your body.
I honestly did not expect this much transformation
this fast with this group.
Allow the body to start
to become liquid.
Liquid body.
We got through, and we triumphed with love.
And I feel like if everybody
could take this example,
we could live in a much more harmonious and loving world.

- The work is already done.
Release and surrender into divine will,
knowing that we're being led down the path that we need to.
This retreat has been massively transformative
and growing for all the guests,
as well as all the healers.
It was just-- that was amazing.
- We will never be here
all together again as we are now.

- Before this retreat, I didn't really know anything
about alternative medicine.
Being on the retreat really helped me deal with my anger.
If I wanted their [bleep] opinion,
I'd come to your [bleep] house and ask for it!
And what I'm feeling
is nothing you'll ever experience.
[screaming]
- Leaving this retreat, I'm very happy to say
I don't really need to seek
my mother's validation anymore.
I need to be stronger for myself.
So that's what I'm gonna focus on.
- I came here with the goal of loving myself more
and putting myself first.
[emotional music]
- How can we come into our full presence
and spiritual authority...
- My experiences here opened me up
to the things that I needed to change
as far as being closed off.
The mask that I'm really good at is
the nonchalant, stone-faced mask.
But I'm eager to get started
on a new life after this resort.
And I'm definitely a better man.
[chuckles]
- As these final ether songs fill the space,
what is spirit calling you to be accountable for?
- Before I came here,
I didn't want to let it go
that I could've have biological children.
But I think I can now
move forward to talk about adoption.
[screaming]
- At ease.
[percussive music]
- My invitation to you is to drop as deeply as you can
into the center of your being.
- Coming into this retreat,
I had so much anger towards my mom.
But I am leaving
feeling the closest to my mom
that I have been in the past eight years.
And I am really looking forward
to starting a new chapter with her.
- I realized that having a big butt is okay.
[laughs]
And with Christine, never in a million years
would I have dreamed that moment would come in my life.
I mean, can you see that I'm like--
[exhales sharply]
[triumphant music]
- This retreat did not turn out the way I thought it would.
Brandon and I were not able to connect.
But I learned from this retreat
to do what I have to do to be happy.

- Let the waters move you to connect...

To empathize,
and luxuriate in that connection as if...
The Earth is the best lover you've ever had.
[percussive music]
And she embraces you
the way that you know you need to me embraced.
[all exhale deeply]
And you can roll around in her arms.
[moans]
If it comes out in sounds...
[all moaning]
That's okay.
Imagine that the third chakra
is lighting up with a flame like a sun.
Now energy is moving up and down your spine,
out the meridians of your hands,
down through your feet.
- When they got here,
this was so far out of their comfort zone.
But now look at my little chickens.

We are now a wolf-pack family.
And so on the count of three, I want you to howl with me.

- Unhappy with their lives,
eight strangers decided to take a risk
and dive into the unknown.
Now they've learned to powerfully commit
to living the most badass,
most loving version of their own lives.
I'm so thankful that my fellow healers,
Atasiea, Oneika, Benjamin, Acqua,
and my shamanic mentors,
Mama Ruth and Brother Christian
were able to open their hearts
and bring their deeply personal powers and energy
to support our little group.
After releasing so much hucha on retreat,
my sweet Greg is conscious
that his anger has now largely dissolved.
Full power, Greg.
- Between my appendix bursting and coronavirus hitting,
it's not been the easiest road
to kind of getting back on track.
But I did move to Branson,
which is the entertainment capital of the world,
to pursue my dreams of acting.
Hi. I'm Greg Haywood.
Book me at your next party,
and your guests are sure to have a blast.
- And our beautiful Becca joyously reports
that she feels the presence of God again.
Now, that is what this is all about.
- Within eight hours of coming home,
I told Will that
I wanted to start the adoption paperwork.
And he was like, "What?"
[laughing] Like, I don't think he was expecting that.
He was very excited.
- Claudia, our force of nature,
bravely and powerfully forgave her mother,
giving her immeasurable freedom in her life.
- I have a new love interest in my life.
He's the entire package.
And, oh, what a package. [laughing]
- Since the retreat,
our solid rock Vairrun
now prioritizes working on himself
as he continues his noble first-responder work
as a firefighter.
Although Vairrun and Meco decided to continue
as just friends,
Vairrun reports he is more open than ever
to being vulnerable for the right person.
- I came back,
and I didn't have that weight on my shoulders.
I didn't have all of that fear.
When things open back up,
I'll probably get back on the dating scene.
I'm hoping I have a little Vairrun
or Veronica running around in the next five years.
[chuckles]
- Meco actually admitted to me
that she missed being on the retreat
once she got home.
But she reports that she in a much happier place now
and continues to courageously do the work
to truly love herself.
On top of that, we're stoked to hear
that she's back to modeling and working on her music.
- Definitely still a city girl.
The jungle, you guys had me once.
Enjoy it 'cause you won't have me again.
In my continuous journey for self-worth,
I do deserve a seat at the table.
So here I am.
I've arrived, period.
- How about this?
Christine has just gotten engaged.
And guess who is walking her down the aisle.
Her beautiful mama.
- All right, we're about to try these awesome drinks.
Cheers, Mommy. - Cheers, baby.
- Since coming back from Costa Rica,
our relationship has done a complete 180.
- One of the biggest changes is that
Christine is now my business partner
and we work together every day.
- Finally, there's our sweet Thea,
who is still working really hard
to stand for her truth in her everyday life.
After they returned from the retreat,
Thea and Brandon began the process
of amicably ending their marriage.
Although a difficult process,
Thea is bravely creating the life that she dreams of.
- When I left Costa Rica,
I was really confident about my decision.
I was happy, you know.
I was like-- [scoffs]
Like, released from that
depression I had put on myself.
I learned the lesson, and I got to keep learning it
until I can master the course. [chuckles]
- What an incredible privilege
to witness these beautiful souls
come through so much.
This work is so powerful
because the ripple effects of healing one person's trauma
spread out far and wide.
And that's my mission--
to heal hearts and heal our planet.
Now to find my next set of chickens.
