Swim with Dolphins - A Spiritual Dolphin Encounter

Swim with the Bimini Wild Dolphins
A Spiritual Adventure of the Heart!

July 20-25,2008

Led by: Dr. Sheri Rosenthal

Women's Retreat with dolphins

Families, couples and singles come join us for a truly magical adventure of heart and spirit to the Caribbean Island of Bimini for an intimate and touching experience with the wild spotted dolphins. These dolphins travel in families or packs called "pods" much like we do, with playfulness being a key part of their social structure.

During our time with the dolphins we'll have the opportunity to open our hearts 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. These are wild dolphins and when we approach their pods they make the choice to come and join, 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 own wondrous spirit to the magic of your own magnificence.

During this week we will spend time looking at our communication skills, self-judgments and the limiting thought patterns which are interfering with our most important relationships and preventing us from becoming the true manifestation of Spirit that we really are! This is a very profound and heartfelt trip – meant to allow you to experience your divinity and creative spirit in a safe and loving atmosphere. There will be plenty of time for swimming with the dolphins, snorkeling the reefs, meditating, group class, group discussion, walking, journaling, biking, shopping, resting, and sharing. Kids over 10 years old are invited too!

Daily Schedule

Swimming with dolphins

Day 0 (-/-/-) July 19th For those of us that do not live in Ft Lauderdale, we will be meeting at the Best Western Ft. Lauderdale Oceanside Hotel and gathering in the evening to meet and greet each other!

Day 1 (b/-/-)July 20th Meet the group at the Ft Lauderdale Airport for our morning flight to Bimini (approximately 10:00am). Most of us will have arrived in Ft Lauderdale the day before. Arrive at the lovely Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina for lunch and our first group gathering. Then we will don our suits for our first day on the boat and experience with the dolphins.

Women's Retreat with dolphins Day 2-5 (-/-/-) July 21-24th We spend the next four days exploring ourselves in the mornings and playing off our boat in the afternoon with the dolphins and snorkeling. Our time with these wild dolphins is a gift from them and will evolve as they wish. This is an ecologically sensitive program that allows us to observe, interact with, and swim with these beautiful beings. The photo and video opportunities are absolutely outstanding. Our dolphin excursions take place each afternoon aboard a dive vessel. These trips can be anywhere from 3 to 4 hours in length. It takes approximately one hour to reach the "dolphin grounds." Sometimes the pod (dolphin family) comes to the boat in as little as 30 minutes; on other days it takes 3 hours.

There will be time to explore the island and eat in some of the other charming restaurants on the island. There are wrecks as shallow as 20 feet and as deep as 100 feet. Drift dives range from 50 to 130 feet. Bimini Resort No trip to Bimini would be complete without snorkeling over the “Mysterious Bimini Road”! A quarter-mile off Paradise Point lays an ancient, underwater road of stones that has baffled natives, mystics and scientists for generations. Some call it the Bimini Road or the Atlantis Wall and believe it may lead to the lost continent of Atlantis. It is quite a mystical experience and many say they can feel the energy that emanates from these huge underwater stones. The famed Bimini Wall, less than a quarter mile offshore, drops from 145 feet to over 3,000 feet in only a few yards.

Day 6 (-/-/-) July 25th We leave Bimini around 10:00am for our flight to Ft Lauderdale and our connecting flights home renewed and with a change of heart. New friends have been made and old friendships made stronger. We look forward to the challenge of bringing our clarity, peace and centeredness home with us!
