Breathe deeply.
Ask yourself - honestly - how would it feel to:
…get a little wild and adventurous in foreign lands to expand your mind, fortify your body, and just let loose?
…fully embrace, embody, and express the passionate purpose within your heart?
…indulge your spirit as you surrender to a magic wonderland of lush mountain forests, jaw-dropping volcanoes, healing fresh waters, intoxicating Mayan cultural traditions, and the infinite Wisdom of the Elements?
You probably answered that it would feel Pretty. Damn. Good.
And it should!
You deserve nothing less.
What to Expect on an "Adventure Retreat"
Begin each day with gentle sunrise yoga, meditation techniques, journaling processes, and soul-provoking conversation on how to courageously cultivate your dream life by harnessing the potent energy of the five great elements – Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth.
The cosmic insights you unfold in these introspective contemplative practices will be balanced and activated by “extrospective” adventurous excursions to sacred ceremonial sites, indigienous homes, healing centers, local Mayan pueblos and more.
Speedboats, pick-up trucks, winding mountain road shuttles and your own two feet will take you to places that dreams are made of.
Color, texture, wonder, inspiration and enthusiasm await you in each moment!
What Goodies are Included?
As the retreat unfolds, allow yourself to be spoiled from top to bottom, inside and out, with lots of other included goodies:
• 8 days / 7 nights at the serene, luxurious lakefront eco retreat center, Villa Sumaya
• Locally-sourced Gourmet Vegetarian Meals.
ALL meals are included from Dinner on 1/9 through Breakfast on 1/16 - except (1) Lunch and (1) Breakfast, on days that we’re exploring local villages.
• 60-minuteHealing Session with your choice of Villa Sumaya practitioners. They are World Class!
• Mayan Astrological Fire Ceremony + Blessing

• 2 Surprise Cultural Activities. You know I’ve always gotta keep a few details hidden to surprise and delight you! But trust - you’re going to LOVE them.
