of ancient dancing and drumming.Each day is an amazing adventure of
regeneration and balance of your body mind and spirit as you honor
the beauty within you.So join us for this magical journey in the land
of Quetzalcoatl, where it is said that when the wind blows, it is
the serpent god breathing life into the soul of every person.
The
Perfect Time and Place
Our
2008 retreat, held during the first full moon of the summer, will
focus on the Mayan Prophecies, which foretell the emergence of a new
consciousness.According to the Mayans, these changes will permit us
to make a quantum leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness.
This year's retreat spans some of the most powerful days of the year
from the Mayan and Western Calendars, including Mid-Summer's Eve,
the Fires of Isis, and the Masonic Holy Days. Tepoztlán, called
"the Village of Healers," is a holistic village nestled
high in the Sierra Madres of Central Mexico, about an hour and a half
southeast of Mexico City. Home to Queztacoyatl, the Aztec plummed
serpent god, this area is a place of transformation and regeneration.
It is a sacred women's power site where the Aztec Priestesses were
trained.
Acitivities
The
highlight will be our excursion to Teotihuacan
-- the City of Pyramids, considered one of the three
most powerful sites on Earth -- led by well-known shaman and healer
Eduardo Morales.Eduardo will guide us through the three Toltec masteries:
awareness, transformation and intent. Magic happens on this adventure
and it will shift you into a new way of being.In addition, our special
guest, Dr. Margaret Christensen (see below) of Dallas,
will teach workshops on wellness, sacred sexuality and hormones and
healthcare.You will be treated by a cast of local performers, healers
and artisans in holistic well-being who will share their knowledge

designed to help you rediscover the joy in living.
