• Gain insight in to your essential creative powers?
• Deepen your mind-body-spirit connection?
• Experience expanded awareness & consciousness in your life?

If so, join photographer Catherine Just,  spiritual author Sheri Rosenthal, and a bevy of Soul*Full Sisters for this heart-centered creative spiritual retreat. Through the medium of photography and sacred spiritual space we will explore our creative process in a nourishing, non-judgmental and FUN environment. It’s about finding your true passion and artistic voice even if you have never taken a picture or drawn a straight line in your life.

Each day we’ll explore opening our heart-space while setting those harsh inner thoughts to rest. Using gentle journaling, ceremony, group circles, Sheri’s spiritual sharings, and Catherine’s playful photo assignments – we’ll let go of any preconceived ideas of what we can or cannot create in life and open to the energy of infinite consciousness as it expresses through each one of us!

Highlights Of Your Adventure:

• Five awesome nights at Agua Nicaragua
• All meals included (AQUA Nicaragua is dedicated to sourcing the freshest, local and organic produce, meats and seafood)
• Soul*Full Sisters Sacred Circles
• One yummy massage!
• Catherine’s daily creative photo explorations

• Volcano Mombacho hike/Canopy Tour (Trekking around the volcano´s four craters. Then do as the howler monkeys do going from tree to tree, aided by ropes and harnesses walking the forest canopy. Breathtaking.)

Paradise at Agua Nicaragua

Located on the secluded beach of Redonda Bay, nestled on a private white sand beach along Nicaragua’s Pacific coast almost hidden amongst the treetops, lives a resort like no other. Private, secluded villas, constructed of sustainable hardwoods and furnished by local artisans are your home while you enjoy Nicaragua at it’s purest. Laze your days away admiring Playa la Redonda, our private white sand beach or perhaps spoil yourself with professional spa offerings. The accommodations at AQUA were designed to place you into the heart of nature, and allow you to enjoy an up close and rare personal experience of what is becoming an increasingly endangered habitat.

Skanda Yoga is the integration of many spiritual traditions.

The Magic of The Dreaming House

Behind a gated wall in the village of San Sebastian Xolopan, adjacent to the ancient city of Teotihuacan, lies the Casa de los Sueños. Within its spacious compound are a dozen rooms decorated with the art of Mexico’s past, both recent and distant. Meals in the spacious and gracious dining hall are miraculous in themselves, country Mexican food prepared with skill and love. The traditional kitchen is staffed by family members, led by your hostess, Veronica Contla Galicia. Two meals (breakfast and early supper) with set menus and bottled water (for rooms and day excursions) are included as well as a light evening snack.

Sacred Space

We’ll be gathering at the charming Briar Patch Inn located along beautiful Oak Creek in Sedona which vibrates at a high frequency. Healthy breakfasts of fresh home-baked breads and muffins, crunchy granola, yogurt, fresh fruits and juices, eggs in the shell, coffee and herbal teas can be enjoyed by the fireside in the lodge, or on a tray at your cottage, or best of all, creekside. Briar Patch is a nourishing and intimate place to treat yourself to a much needed rest and rejuvenation. Healthy food, morning stretches, walking to powerful vortexes, sacred ceremonies, and self-nurturing will be our focus. Our days will be filled with opportunities for deep physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing.

Celebration & Ceremony

Our time together will include: sharing in circle, walking the land, exploring sacred sites, stretching our bodies and minds through activities such as movement class and guided visualizations. You’ll participate in pipe, fire and Beltane celebration ceremonies. Each person will receive a bodywork treatment from Joumana, voted the best massage therapist in Sedona – and have their astrology chart interpreted by Rosine Fievet, who’s been charting and assisting folks in discovering their soul’s purpose for over 3 decades!

Transformation & Healing

The intent of our retreat is to purify, release and dissolve old repressed emotions, played-out dramas, old story-lines and agendas, self-sabotaging and limiting habitual life patterns, and to identify the seeds we are currently fertilizing in our lives. Then with deep awareness born of self-love we can choose to plant new seeds of true joy, forgiveness, compassion, health and integrity. By recreating and re-birthing ourselves, we can step into the next chapter of our lives, for our personal and planetary awakening. If you’re called to attend our transformational retreat we would be most honored to hold sacred space with you.

Mysticism & Power

We’ll reconnect with the Mother Goddess worshiped from around 9000 BC to 2000 BC and explore early Christian Mysticism in the steps of St. Paul and St. John. From there we’ll deepen our understanding of the Sufi tradition and the mystical heritage of the Whirling Dervishes. Watching these dancers enter spiritual bliss is an amazing experience. In addition we’ll visit an *Alevite Moslem Temple where a man and woman perform a ritual round dance in the name of God, and also experience Turkish Music Therapy through a Bakshi Dance. (Central Asian shamans “Bakshi,” used music and dance to cure patients.) It will be possible for us to speak to these dancers and learn about their powerful traditions! *(Alevism, a liberal sect of Islam, has distinct differences to the practices of Turkey’s Sunni majority. The Alevi house of worship is called a cemevi, while Sunnis worship in a mosque.)

Ancient Ruins

Some of the other wonderful sacred sites we will be visiting are the famous Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, and the ancient cities of Konya and Pamukkale. By boat we’ll explore some of the lesser known sites of Kaunos, Loryma and Knidos.

Our land journey is to be announded and the Gulet extension along the Turquoise Coast is to be announced.

Sailing into the Past

In addition to a wonderful exploration by land, we’ll also explore the quiet coves and isolated ruins along the Turquoise coast by gulet – our private sailing boat. Here we will relax and slow our pace and connect with the energy of this beautiful land. We will look forward to morning strolls amongst the ruins of past civilizations while back on board the crew prepares our lunch. The table, under the shade of an awning, is laden with Turkish specialties; tempting vegetable dishes, colorful salads and freshly caught fish. The bread, baked in a stone oven, arrives by row boat from a village ashore. Then while we rest in the sun, our boat will set sail for our next harbor.
