<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>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>

</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 />

		<description><![CDATA[On this powerful spiritual healing journey to Abadiania, Brazil we will experience faith healer John of God, and deeply explore the aspects within us that are contributing to our suffering and pain. Of course there are no guarantees on this journey - it's about total faith and surrender. What we're being asked to surrender is individual to each of us, and what we're being asked to have faith in is our power as spirit as it channels through John of God for our highest good - whatever that is for us.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>For thousands of years shamans and faith healers have functioned under the belief that physical illness results from imbalances within our emotional and energy bodies which ultimately express through the physical body.</strong> Even science has begun to recognize the importance in addressing the spiritual aspect of dis-ease and the value of alternative, holistic and integrative medicine modalities. On this powerful spiritual journey to Abadiania, Brazil we will experience <strong>faith healer John of God</strong>, and deeply explore the aspects within us that are contributing to our suffering and pain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6199 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 6px;" title="jog1" src="http://www.journeysofthespirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/jog1.jpg" alt="John of God" width="385" height="253" /></p>
<h2><strong>Surrender &amp; Faith</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course there are no guarantees on this journey &#8211; it&#8217;s about total faith and surrender. <strong>What we&#8217;re being asked to surrender is individual to each of us, and what we&#8217;re being asked to have faith in is our power as spirit as it channels through John of God for our highest good &#8211; whatever that is for us.</strong> But no matter what your experience is on this journey, you will learn how to move beyond being victimized by your condition and recognize the teacher in your dis-ease. Becoming the master of the story you tell about your situation is extremely powerful &#8211; that alone can change your life and the way you choose to live it.</p>
<h2><strong>Miracles &amp; Blessings</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the Casa de Dom Inacio miracles happen on a daily basis. <strong>Often those miracles are not what we come <em>expecting</em> to experience, but they are always <em>exactly</em> what we need for our spiritual healing and personal development. </strong>If you are ready to change your relationship with your suffering, whether it is emotional, physical or both &#8211; join <strong>Anita Fuller on this spiritual healing journey of the heart</strong>.

<h2><strong>Natural Empaths</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>During our time with the dolphins you will have the opportunity to open your hearts</strong> and practice unconditional love and acceptance, for these marvelous creatures, ourselves and each other. Although they do not speak our language, dolphins are natural empaths who respond to the emotions we radiate and the judgmental thoughts or clarity of mind we possess.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>These are wild dolphins and when we approach their pods they make the choice to come and join</strong>, swim and connect with us. Connecting with their wondrous spirits can be a profoundly moving, deeply healing and life altering experience. Their immense peace, joy and playfulness will touch your heart and awaken your spirit to the magic of your own magnificence.</p>
<h2><strong>Open Hearts, Open Minds</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This week we&#8217;ll spend time looking at our communication skills</strong>, self-judgments and the limiting thought patterns which are interfering with our most important relationships and preventing us from becoming the manifestation of Spirit that we truly are!</p>
<h2><strong>Connect with the Dolphins</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This is a very profound and heartfelt trip</strong> – meant to encourage you to merge with the dolphins and  spark your  playful spirit in a safe and loving atmosphere. There&#8217;ll be plenty of time for swimming with the dolphins, snorkeling the reefs, meditating, group class, group discussion, swimming, journaling, resting, and sharing. Join for this magical adventure!</p>
<blockquote><p>“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”<br />
