Where: Romantic, Historic Tepoztlán, Mexico!

Our home base is in romantic Tepoztlán, a well-known spiritual center where energy and mysticism converge. For three millenia this valley has been home to shamans, healers, and artisans. The power that drew the ancients still remains. Home to Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent god, this is an area of transformation and regeneration. It is a sacred women's power site where Aztec priestesses were trained. Today you will see holistic and alternative medicine businesses throughout this beautiful and quaint town.

Your accommodations will be in an exquisite mountaintop hacienda, Posada del Tepozteco (pictured below), with breathtaking mountain views, terraced gardens, relaxing pools and plenty of sacred spaces for quiet reflection. The rooms are comfortable, but don't expect any phones or televisions, and don't bring your computer. This is a place to slow down and listen to your own voice. The hacienda offers first class service, including three delicious organic vegetarian meals daily, food from the gods for sure. (Read more about Hacienda Hotel )

What: 2012: The Mayan Shift

The Mayans served as messengers of the cosmic knowledge, a universal philosophy that teaches us that the human body belongs to the Earth, and that the human spirit to the Universe.

Now is the time of the Maya, a time that the knowledge that has been embedded within the sacred Mayan temples and within our own cellular memories reawakening in preparation for 2012 - the end of the Mayan calendar, and a time of great transformation. According to the Mayans these changes will permit us to make a quantum leap forward in the evolution of our conscious destiny. This is our destiny and so it is encoded in our genes. This sacred journey will help you to understand the cosmic process that will be involved, the wisdom of the Maya and how to claim and empower your sacred self.

Re-write the Monologue led by Chelsea Madrigal: Most of us have a monologue about ourselves running on auto-pilot that we share with ourselves and others, which often confirms the beliefs, pains, fears and goals of a person we have not been for years. Re-write the monologue is a course in creating awareness of that monologue so that it becomes a conscious dialogue to find out who we truly are now, and to update our current goals and belief systems so that we may achieve our real desires from the perspective of our present day healed or healing selves. To re-write that monologue so that all language we use reflects the truth of what we truly want to manifest in our lives. Re-write the monolugue means taking action towards overall health through "feel good" disciplines, which will vary from person to person. By doing so we begin to view and create the world we want to exist around us, and to live our lives the way we have dreamed them to be.
