		<description><![CDATA[Through this very special spiritual retreat at Estancia Peuma Hue in the spectacular nature of Patagonia, Argentina you will have the opportunity to fully integrate in your body, mind, heart and spirit. Losing track of ourselves while we are immersed in daily concerns and obligations is a distinctive representation of our times. Creating time to reconnect deeply with ourselves and listen to our inner voice is essential to keep us on our true path of the heart. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Patagonia, Argentina: truly one of the most remote, pristine and untouched territories on our planet. </strong>On this heart-opening spiritual retreat, we will immerse ourselves deeply and profoundly into our sacred connection with the natural world. We invite you to join us on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, nurtured by the intense energy of amazing glacial lakes, pure creeks, astonishing waterfalls, beautiful forests and breathtaking mountains.</p>

<h2><strong>A Multi-dimension Journey</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our daily road-map will guide us to different territories, not just in a geographical sense, but experientially too. <strong>The four essential elements (air, fire, water and earth), will be our temporal destinations &#8211; visiting stunning natural settings to complement each element and its manifestations, establishing a sacred communion between us and nature. </strong>Through experiential activities, a spiritual integration will take place as we merge the four human dimensions (mind, body, heart and spirit) with the four elements of nature. From our home base at  <a href="http://www.peuma-hue.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Estancia Peuma Hue</strong></a>, a spiritually centered 500 acre eco-boutique ranch, we will discover true integration with these vital essences.</p>
<h2><strong>Finding Inner Resources</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">During our spiritual retreat we&#8217;ll look closely at the forces of nature, her forms of expression, features, and direct effects on our material world. <strong>We&#8217;ll learn to relate these seemingly external expressions to our internal processes, deepening our connection with nature and her expression in our lives. </strong>By merging with these forces and using nature&#8217;s innate wisdom, we&#8217;ll discover keys to bringing balance, peace and harmony to our lives.</p>
<h2><strong>Transcending the Material</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As alchemists have done for centuries, we&#8217;ll experiment with the laws and boundaries of material world first, ultimately accessing the more profound and spiritual dimension at the end. <strong>Our journey together will allow us to expand our understanding of the natural world, our inner mental world, and ultimately transcend to the spiritual realms experiencing a state of full integration and communion with nature; a state of universal love and oneness.</strong></p>
<h2><strong>A Special Experience</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Our time together will include a variety of activities such as: </strong>forest hikes, waterfalls, lakes and amazing viewpoints, meditation, mind-body relaxation and stress management techniques (Qigong and/or TaiChi), group ritual, celebrations and games, traditional self-healing knowledge, guided horseback rides, conscious observation, enriching group reflections and much more!</p>
<blockquote><p>There is no moment of delight in any pilgrimage like the beginning of it.<br />
~Charles Dudley Warner</p></blockquote>
<h2><strong>Want to Join Us?</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Questions? </strong>Give us a ring at 727-421-0849 &#8211; we can&#8217;t wait to hear from you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This has been a year of challenges for all people on so many levels and in so many directions.</strong> When circumstances are difficult, so many of us question Life and ask: WHY ME?  But this question can only be asked when we do not have the awareness of who we truly are and how we co-create our Lives.  It&#8217;s not about “What has Life done to me?” but “How have I danced with this thing called Life?” Let’s end the year with a journey of the heart and challenge ourselves to see with new eyes, to surrender, let go, love boldly and forgive &#8211; ourselves and others.</p>

<h2><strong>Honoring the Virgin of Guadalupe</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Join us for 6 days honoring the day of Virgin of Guadalupe (December 12) at the sacred site of Teotihuacan, Mexico. </strong>She is the mother of all Mexicans, and the protector of suffering children. She performs miracles, comforts souls, watches over the poor, and holds each of us in her protective grace. We honor the eternal mother as she inspires and encourages us to co-create a new Dream of Unconditional Love and Acceptance. Let this be our time of healing so that we can live our lives with our hearts wide open &#8211; empowered to create a fulfilling and amazing 2011!</p>
<h2><strong>Reclamando Nuestro Poder y Nuestra Fe</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Este ha sido un año de muchos retos para muchos de nosotros en muchos aspectos. </strong> Cuando las circunstancias son difíciles, la tendencia es cuestionar La Vida y preguntar, “¿por qué yo? ¿por qué a mí?”  Pero esta pregunta solamente viene cuando no tenemos la conciencia de quien en realidad somos y como co-creamos nuestras vidas.  La pregunta no es, “¿qué nos ha hecho la vida?” si no “cómo hemos co-creado con esto que llamamos La Vida?”  Terminemos el año con una jornada del corazón y hagámonos ver con nuevos ojos, a entregarnos a la vida con fe y certeza, a dejar ir todo lo que nos limite a vivir una vida plena, a amar inmensamente y a perdonar—a nosotros mismos y a los demás.</p>
<h2><strong>la Virgen de Guadalupe</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Acompaña Millie Muñoz por seis días celebrando a la Virgen de Guadalupe (cuyo día es el 12 de diciembre) en el sagrado sitio de Teotihuacán, México. </strong> Ella es la Patrona de todos los Mexicanos y de todo América, y la protectora de todos los niños que sufren.  Ella es proclamada por muchos milagros, por confortar muchas almas, proteger a los pobres y nos guarda a todos bajo su gracia.  Honremos a la eterna madre y como nos inspira y nos anima a co-crear un Nuevo Sueño de Amor Incondicional y Aceptación.  Dejemos que este sea nuestro tiempo de sanación para que podamos vivir nuestras vidas con nuestros corazones abiertos—usando nuestro poder interno para crear un año 2011 magnífico y pleno.</p>
