<h2><strong>Honor your body at Mar de Jade!</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Mar de Jade with its graceful contours and Mediterranean style</strong> serves as a gathering place for spiritual events. The spacious layout of the property offers a sense of privacy as it blends with the natural surroundings of Chacala, Mexico complete with luscious mango and papaya trees, hammocks beneath palm trees, and the beautiful beach.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Delicious and nutritious meals are served three times a day</strong>, usually buffet style, in the breezy open-air dinning pavilion overlooking the ocean. In their daily preparations they use fresh local products: fish, sea-food, chicken, cheese &#8211; and abundant fruits and vegetables: lettuce, arugula, beans, figs, hibiscus, papaya, mango, bananas, and pineapples. The majority of vegetables and fruits come from their own Organic Farm. They make their own yogurt, granola, tofu, hummus, breads and baked goods, pastries, desserts, peanut-butter, and marmalade&#8217;s.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Mar de Jade&#8217;s kitchen staff is happy to accommodate special dietary restrictions</strong> such as allergies, vegans or vegetarians, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc. All of their raw foods are carefully disinfected and washed with purified water. Purified water is also provided for drinking. All food served at Mar de Jade is prepared with great care, attention and love.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>To sweat is to pray</strong>, to make an offering of your innermost self. Sweat is holy water, prayer beads, pearls of liquid that release your past. Sweat is an ancient and universal form of self healing, whether done in the gym, the sauna, or the sweat lodge. I do it on the dance floor. The more you dance, the more you sweat. The more you sweat, the more you pray. The more you pray, the closer you come to ecstasy.<br />
~ Gabrielle Roth</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>If so</em>, join photographer Catherine Just,  spiritual author Sheri Rosenthal</strong>, 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&#8217;s about finding your true passion and artistic voice even if you have <em>never taken a picture or drawn a straight line in your life</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Each day we&#8217;ll explore opening our heart-space while setting those harsh inner thoughts to rest.</strong> Using gentle journaling, ceremony, group circles, Sheri&#8217;s spiritual sharings, and Catherine&#8217;s playful photo assignments &#8211; we&#8217;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!</p>

<h2><strong>Highlights Of Your Adventure:</strong></h2>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>Five awesome nights at Agua Nicaragua</li>
<li>All meals included (AQUA Nicaragua is dedicated to sourcing the freshest, local and organic produce, meats and seafood)</li>
<li>Soul*Full Sisters Sacred Circles</li>
<li>One yummy massage!</li>
<li>Catherine&#8217;s daily creative photo explorations</li>
<li>Sheri&#8217;s daily Tasty Morsel&#8217;s (spiritual nuggets)</li>
<li>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.)</li>
</ul>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h2><strong>Paradise at Agua Nicaragua</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Located on the secluded beach of Redonda Bay</strong>, nestled on a private white sand beach along Nicaragua&#8217;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&#8217;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.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>If so</em>, please join us for 7 days of empowerment at La Casa de Suenos (the House of Dreams) at Teotihuacan</strong>, Mexico for a magical experience!  Each day Skanda Yoga teachers Ken von Roenn III (ERYT 500) and Lina Vallejo will guide you through the Mayan Oracle and its physical and spiritual embodiment in yoga asana.  There will also be classes and meditations on Dream Yoga ( and Lucid Dreaming) with emphasis on techniques from the Toltec esoteric tradition.  Each class will empower your spiritual path with wisdom and inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Skanda Yoga is the integration of many spiritual traditions.</strong> It is the co-creation of Ken and Lina after years of exploration that led to the manifestation of a system that enhances the experience of synchronicity and magic.  They are excited to lead a transformative and empowering retreat in Teotihuacan, Mexico.  It is the perfect setting to enhance the spiritual path while exploring the Toltec mythology.</p>
<p><span> </span><br />

<h2><strong>The Magic of The Dreaming House</strong></h2>

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.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>If so, join author Sheri Rosenthal and 10 other women in this remote natural reserve in the magical Sea of Cortez </strong>- uninhabited by other humans and free from the distractions of our daily lives.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>If you’re a woman in the process of making changes in her life</strong> (<em>who isn&#8217;t?</em>), who wants to deeply explore the issues surrounding your circumstances, this is a journey you can&#8217;t afford to miss.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>With sand between our toes and in our hair</strong>, we&#8217;ll create a new and empowering dream that will lead us to complete freedom of our hearts, minds and bodies.</p>
<h2><strong>Exploring our Sisterhood</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Our time together will evolve as Spirit moves us&#8230;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>We&#8217;ll enjoy beautiful ceremony</strong> and ritual, dance, and prayer, chanting and meditation<br />
with our sisters to create the energy for transformation both inside and out.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>There will be time for </strong>snorkeling, playing, sea kayaking, journaling,<br />
swimming, laughing, hiking and a fire ceremony.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Sea Lions, manta rays and pods of dolphins</strong> will keep us<br />
company in these crystal clear turquoise waters!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Scuba diving, water skiing, and deep sea fishing</strong><br />
are also available for any Goddesses so interested.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>It’s our intent that every woman who participates</strong> in this journey returns home with clarity, peace of mind, confidence, self-esteem and inner joy. It’s our wish that you find your serenity and centered-ness so when you return home you can make changes with happiness, confidence and inner strength. If you are ready to change your life, we&#8217;re waiting for you.</p>
<p><span> </span><br />

<span> </span></p>
<h2><strong>The Magic of Baja Camp</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Our camp is situated on one of the most beautiful bays&#8217; approximately two hours by boat from the La Paz marina.</strong> The abundance of fish and shell fish in the Sea of Cortez allows us to bring to the dinner table a veritable seafood feast every night. You can swim among groups of seals in the warm and transparent water. The camp provides kayaks which allow you to linger in wonderful solitude within the clear and deep inlets where the only sound you hear is the splashing of boat paddles.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>December 21st, 2012 is a just step away </strong>and there is no better way to prepare for this cosmic shift than to celebrate together with Shamanic ceremonies and Sacred circles facilitated by author and Shaman Ernesto Ortiz. Our intent is to start creating a shift in our personal vibrational frequency to align our personal Chakras with the Planetary Chakras. Here we will have an opening circle honoring the ancient ways with a powerful “Medicine Wheel” and “Sacred Pipe Ceremony” so we can enter into the new cosmic cycle of 2012 with grace and ease.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Rewind while you unwind, bring your spirit into wholeness</strong>, re-connect with your Shamanic and Sacred Selves, and become vibrationally alive as you supercharge your four lower bodies (mental, emotional, physical and spiritual) with cosmic energy as this vibrational shift ends and a new one awakens. This is an opportunity for you to consciously let go of all you have accumulated, not only in this lifetime, but all the lifetimes you have lived in the last cosmic cycle of 26,000 years.</p>
<h2><strong>Highlights Of Your Retreat:</strong></h2>
<p><span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Six nights on the sultry Caribbean coast of Costa Rica</li>
<li>Integrative ~ Shamanic Breathwork</li>
<li>Trance Dance ~ Spirit Dance</li>
<li>Shamanic Journeys; Soul Retrieval, Power Animal Retrieval</li>
<li>Mask Making</li>
<li>Medicine Wheel</li>
<li>Native American Pipe Ceremonies</li>
<li>Toning, Chanting, Meditation, Celebration</li>
<li>An optional Teacher Plant Ceremony</li>
<li>Group Processing</li>
<li>Cacao Farm visit watching how Indians make chocolate</li>
<li>Rainforest Canopy Adventure (zip-lining!)</li>
<li>Fun on Punta Uva Beach!</li>
</ul>
<p><span></span></p>
<h2><strong>The Goddess Garden Eco-resort &amp; Spa</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Goddess Garden is located in the town of Cahuita,</strong> a small community in the south of Costa Rica, 40 km south of Puerto Limon. Cahuita National Park is the main attraction here, where you can watch White Faced Monkeys, Howler monkeys, Iguanas and more, just a few steps away from its white sand beach. The Spiritual Center is surrounded by huge jungle trees and just few steps away, you will find the oldest and most amazing tree in Cahuita. Its roots, as tall as a man, will leave you breathless &#8211; it is a truly a temple.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Too often as women we spend our time devoted</strong> to our parents, children, partners, and work &#8211; along with maintaining a busy schedule filled from morning to night every day. Finding time to dedicate to ourselves for massage, meditation or even a quiet moment is a real challenge!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>But on this special weekend before Valentine’s Day we celebrate and honor </strong>our inner beauty, strength and love within a sacred circle of sisterhood. It’s time to put time aside to recharge, rejuvenate, and re-center ourselves. Together we will walk the labyrinth, share in a fire and pipe ceremony, experience a singing bowl meditation and so much more – all designed to help you to release those feelings of being off balanced, overworked or whatever is blocking your peace and sanity.</p>
<p><span> </span><br />
<span> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><big><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Watch Shanti &amp; Sheri&#8217;s free videoclass:</span><br />
<a href="http://www.journeysofthespirit.com/teleclasses/create-balance-stay-juicy/" target="_blank">“<em>5 Ways to Create Balance in Life &amp; 2 Ways to Stay Juicy!</em>”</a></strong></big><br />
<span> </span><br />
<span> </span></p>
<h2><strong>Highlights of your retreat include:</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Three nourishing and yummy meals a day</li>
<li>Three nights double occupancy at the Duncan Conference Center</li>
<li>Use of the labyrinths, pool and jacuzzi</li>
<li>Fire and pipe ceremony with Shanti</li>
<li>Healing Meditation with singing bowls</li>
<li>Sacred circle of sisters</li>
<li>Choice of two healing modalities (either body work with Deborah Kelly, channeling with Carolina Zacaria, or Integrated Energy Therapy with Shanti)</li>
<li>All spiritual teachings and group sessions</li>
<li>4 days of blessed Florida sunshine!</li>
<li>Group Channeling session</li>
<li>Sunrise Ceremony on the beach</li>
</ul>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h2><strong>Rejuvenate &amp; Restore!</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Shanti and her support team of Carolina Zacaria and Debra Kelly</strong> will create the opportunity for you to find your balance and harmony through group activities, ceremony, body work, channeling the divine, energy medicine and guided meditations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>During our time together you will release the routines or habits</strong> that no longer serve your highest good or support what you want to manifest in life.  Together we will plant powerful new seeds of self-love and assist you in creating models of support that will help you ground this nourishing and clarifying time into your daily life.</p>
<h2><strong>A Little &#8220;Peace&#8221; of Paradise </strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Our sacred space will be at the Duncan Conference Center in Delray Beach, Florida. </strong>Their five-wooded acres of peace and serenity, delicious and nutritious food, clean and spacious accommodations, are located only 30 minutes from the Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale airports.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The facilities include 2 labyrinths, an outdoor swimming pool and a Jacuzzi.</strong> The labyrinth’s design is based on the circle, the universal symbol of unity and wholeness and is a spiritual tool for growth, discernment, prayer and healing which we will use during our stay.</p>
<blockquote><p>The simplest and most basic meaning of the symbol of the Goddess<br />
is the acknowledgment of the legitimacy of female power as<br />
a beneficent and independent power.<br />
Carol P. Christ</p></blockquote>

As sisters, we will honor the earth and ourselves by discovering and re-connecting to the innate rhythm of our deep personal being.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Discovering our integrity, purpose, peace, and passion</strong> through our experience of adventure, connection and giving will be powerful and fulfilling. <strong>There is no doubt that we will come home transformed, refreshed and inspired </strong>– with an intuitive knowing of where we stand in the world.

“Discovering our Integrity, Purpose, Peace, &amp; Passion!”<br />

<p><span> </span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Giving of Ourselves</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Although Kenya is one of the more stable countries in Africa, poverty and deprivation are rife across the land.</strong> HIV AIDS has resulted in over one million children being left as orphans with no visible means of support or care.<strong> Life expectancy rates have fallen</strong> and thousands of families struggle to survive on a day-to-day basis. With children suffering from the ravages of malnutrition, malaria, and HIV AIDS, the result is an <strong>ever-increasing child mortality rate</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>For our community project, we&#8217;ll visit the Kids Alive Children’s Home</strong> (a Christian organization), and <strong>the Kamatongu Primary School a government supported school</strong> which is in dire need of a permanent source of drinking water. <strong>Proceeds from this journey will provide funds to the school</strong> to help them achieve some of their most dire goals. <em>Our visit will be a powerful opportunity for us to open our hearts in service and experience unconditional love.</em></p>
<blockquote><p>“For Africa to me&#8230; is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.” ~ Maya Angelou</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>If so</em> &#8211; join author Sheri Rosenthal and master beader Kathy Benson on this powerful spiritual retreat exploring the art of prayer beads and altar making. </strong>So many of us are looking to ground ourselves spiritually in this mechanized world – to remind ourselves that we are spiritual beings in a world of duality. Prayer beads and personal altars are two powerful ways of committing to ourselves to our spiritual growth and divine expression. <strong>Personal altars </strong><em>transform our homes into sacred space</em> where we can rejuvenate and nourish ourselves. <strong>Prayer beads</strong> <em>allow us to take our “altar on the road”</em> so to speak – reminding us that the divine is everywhere we are.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>For thousands of years humans have been beading for both adornment and spiritual purposes.</strong> Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and Christians have been using prayer beads to ground themselves in their devotion to Spirit – approximately 2/3 of our world prays using beads. In the African and American Indian cultures, beads are an important part of of their creative expression and their complex patterns and designs are firm evidence of Spirit expressing through them.</p>
<h2><strong>Highlights of Your Adventure:</strong></h2>

<h2><strong>Opening to Spirit</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Through specially crafted experiences and adventures, you will find yourself falling in love with the Balinese way of life. Centered around a group of temples, every community is cohesive and cooperative &#8211; illustrating what our world could be like if we all worked together. <strong>Music, art, theater, work and religious practice is all one in the same and every action is taken as an offering to Spirit.</strong> They believe that the physical world is permeated by the spiritual world &#8211; <em>sekala niskala</em> (meaning visible-invisible) &#8211; and this is a great source of inspiration.</p>
<h2><strong>Blessings of Bali</strong></h2>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>Enjoy an exclusive visit with mountain villagers</li>
<li>Sunset and Full Moon Ceremony at Bali’s highest temple</li>
<li>Water ritual purification ceremony at a Balinese pilgrimage site</li>
