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!

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.

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.

Sacred Sight

Surrounded by the wild Oregon landscape, you’ll have unlimited potential for quiet image making and communion between yourself and nature. This merging between self and nature is experienced in the moment your being knows it’s time to click or take the picture. This knowing is what we wish to experience time and time again – the mysterious space in time when we merge with spirit though the camera lens. By connecting deeply with the oneness of life, we have the profound desire to express our feelings on film. If you’re not familiar with the beauty of the Oregon coast, please watch the lovely video on the right –>

A Quest of the Heart

The quest for Avalon, the Lady of the Lake, Excalibur and the Holy Grail, have long been sought after by seers, magicians, kings and noble knights – it represents the classic story of the eternal journey for peace, restoration, balance and healing. These stories represent your journey, mine, and all of humanity’s to the heart of who we truly are. We invite you to journey with us and cross over the threshold of time as we open the curtain to Avalon and bring the darkness within into the light.

Glastonbury has long been acknowledged as the location of the mystical land of Avalon and the burial site of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere; a place beyond the veil of human sight and one only those who have reached deep inside their soul can see. Ladies, if you’ve ever felt a connection with Camelot, Tintangel, the healing waters of the Chalice Well, or felt called to walk with the ancients at Stonehenge, this precious journey will speak to you.

“I dreamt of you in Glastonbury. You opened a curtain into Avalon, and lifted me in…”
~ from the novel “The Mists of Avalon”

One-of-a-Kind-Experience

This will be a very special one-of-kind tour specially arranged for Journeys of the Spirit®. Joining trip leaders Sheri Rosenthal and Cameron Broughton – are local experts who will share the many secrets of these ancient lands hidden behind the veil of modern society. Together they will share and guide us through ceremony, prayer, and sacred circle time, into the heart and soul of these sacred places and into the mystery and magic of the Goddess within us all.

We’ll have private time at Stonehenge, visit Glastonbury, Bath, and Wells – and also share a private moonlight gathering at Chalice Well! Honoring our sacred feminine through communion, sisterhood, and celebration will be a highlight of this journey. Join us on this woman’s quest to illuminate our integrity, sovereignty and dignity.

The Magic of Baja Camp

Our camp is situated on one of the most beautiful bays’ approximately two hours by boat from the La Paz marina. 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.

Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.

In this playful heart-centered retreat with Flora Bowley and Catherine Just, we will explore a whole new way of painting and photography from a space of freedom, non-judgment and experimentation. This process is about loosening up, letting go of expectations, trusting yourself, having fun and allowing your art to unfold naturally. The emphasis is on finding your own true voice and allowing your personal expression to bloom and grow with flow and ease. Create from a more authentic place, expand your awareness, and transform your life.

Creative Unfolding

For 4 nights and 3 full days we combine spiritual practice with photography and painting for more mindful self-expression. Through a deeper understanding of ourselves we find our way back to the essence of who we are with clarity and lack of judgment. There will be exercises to move you more toward gratitude, opportunities to focus on your physical well being (because it feels good to feel good!) and connection with like-minded women where you can discuss and share your experiences in a safe supportive environment. Mix all that with rest and rejuvenation and you’ve got the ingredients for a more Brave • Soul*Full • Intuitive You!

Trusting Your Intuition

This is a process-based retreat that will empower you with a toolbox of new techniques as well as a new perspective to approach your work. This is a very playful, supported, and forgiving experience and no prior painting, photography or background in spirituality is necessary. All you need is an open mind. Trust – you are an artist already. So what are you waiting for?!!

Take Refuge by the Sea

Allow your senses to ignite from the breathtaking beauty of the Monterey Peninsula coastline. Invite the peace, quietude and meditative environment of Asilomar into your soul to help guide you back to your true authentic voice. So take a deep breath and settle in for a time of serene relaxation, reflection and spiritual rejuvenation. Situated within the quaint and scenic town of Pacific Grove, Asilomar offers guests the simple comforts of cozy cabins and rustic lodges – and an unforgettable escape from the demands of everyday life.

Too often as women we spend our time devoted to our parents, children, partners, and work – 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!

But on this special weekend before Valentine’s Day we celebrate and honor 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.

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.

A Little “Peace” of Paradise

Our sacred space will be at the Duncan Conference Center in Delray Beach, Florida. 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.

The facilities include 2 labyrinths, an outdoor swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. 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.

The simplest and most basic meaning of the symbol of the Goddess
is the acknowledgment of the legitimacy of female power as

Giving of Ourselves

Although Kenya is one of the more stable countries in Africa, poverty and deprivation are rife across the land. HIV AIDS has resulted in over one million children being left as orphans with no visible means of support or care. Life expectancy rates have fallen 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 ever-increasing child mortality rate.

For our community project, we’ll visit the Kids Alive Children’s Home (a Christian organization), and the Kamatongu Primary School a government supported school which is in dire need of a permanent source of drinking water. Proceeds from this journey will provide funds to the school to help them achieve some of their most dire goals. Our visit will be a powerful opportunity for us to open our hearts in service and experience unconditional love.

“For Africa to me… 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

• Gain concrete methods for having more peace and centeredness in your life?
• Set your intent for 2012 and participate in a special full moon 11.11.11 ceremony?
• Indulge yourself in deluxe spa treatments & come home rested & rejuvenated?
• Create sacred space in your home where you can connect with infinite consciousness?

If so – join author Sheri Rosenthal and master beader Kathy Benson on this powerful spiritual retreat exploring the art of prayer beads and altar making. 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. Personal altars transform our homes into sacred space where we can rejuvenate and nourish ourselves. Prayer beads allow us to take our “altar on the road” so to speak – reminding us that the divine is everywhere we are.

For thousands of years humans have been beading for both adornment and spiritual purposes. 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.

Highlights of Your Adventure:

• Explore the art of prayer beads and altar making
• No experience is necessary, only an open heart and mind
• This trip is about the “spiritual” use of altars and prayer beads
• Learn positive ways to create time & space in your life for deeper contemplation & inner meditation
• Using ceremony and ritual, bless your beads on the altars at the sacred sites of Kohunlich, Dzbanche, Chacchoben & Oxtankah
• Create beautiful objects filled with your deepest intent and love
• Participate in a special full moon 11.11.11 ceremony to set our intent for 2012!
• Six nights at the restful Akal•ki Holistic Spa
• Daily yoga classes!
• Lounge in the stunningly crystal clear waters of Lake Bacalar

Akal•ki Holistic Spa

We’ll be staying at the Akal•ki Holistic Spa where you’ll experience the pristine quietude and sweet energy of the southern Yucatan. At Akal•Ki (take a moment to watch the video on the right –>), we’ll enjoy cabins at the edge of Lake Bacalar – a crystal clear sand bottom lake. It’s just a short walk out your door to the lake for a swim! Have a healing massage, or treat yourself to the deluxe spa treatments knowing you’ll be coming home rested and rejuvenated.
