Join a powerful circle of like-minded women for a nurturing and rejuvenating retreat of yoga & sacred healing ceremonies.

Amazing women all over the world, you are being called to take a week for yourself and meet together in a peaceful setting, on a beautiful tropical beach.

Allow yourself to be inspired & renewed.

Each Goddess Retreat week includes:

~ Daily yoga & meditation
~ Goddess gatherings & healing ceremonies

or alternative healing session of your choice
~ Free time to explore the area

For this retreat, Muriel & Sanjivani bring together a synthesis of powerful healing modalities:

♥ Massage Therapy, Ayurvedic Medicine, Shamanic Energy Medicine
♥ Soul Journeying, Healing Ceremonies, Mythic Mapping

Wake up each morning with a rejuvenating yoga flow and sacred chanting, and complete the evening with nurturing restorative yoga and guided meditation.

Following morning yoga, with a deepened sense of calm and well-being, we will move into awakening the divine energies within, guiding you through a spiritual practice of the Sri Vidya Tantric lineage of ancient India. Referred to as the Sri Chakra Puja (Sri Yantra Puja), we make sacred offerings to the different aspects of the Goddess, as we chant her seed mantras within each one of our chakras. This practice creates a positive vibration of protection, which can change your destiny, and be a doorway to realizing yourself.

After a complimentary healthful breakfast (including an abundance of local tropical fruits), the choice is yours for a wonderful day:

♥ Relax, renew & rejuvenate
♥ Journal or read a book
♥ Walk on the beach, take a surf lesson, explore the area or go shopping
♥ Connect with other women, with nature and more deeply with yourself
♥ Receive your complementary therapeutic massage
♥ Receive your complementary Ayurvedic consultation
♥ Receive a Shamanic Energy Medicine healing session (for an additional cost)
♥ Receive a reading of your choice: Astrological, Spirit Animal, Tarot, Angel or Goddess cards
♥ Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant
♥ Bike ride on the beach, horseback riding, zip line through the jungle
♥ Share, dream, be inspired
♥ Bathe in the salt water pool of Villa Cortes
♥ Enjoy the sun, the waves, and the fresh tropical air
♥ Dance, laugh & play

The flow of the day continues as we gather for a Healing Ceremony and Goddess sharing circle. This is a sacred time together, during which safe space is held for sharing from the heart, with the loving support of the other women.

Imagine the magical feeling of sitting in a powerful women’s circle, on the warm beach, in between the radiant full moon rising over the mountains, and the breath taking view of the sun setting over the ocean waves… the sky in a spectrum of colors.  Simply magnificent.

In this special Moon Goddess & Yoga Retreat, you are invited to let go, and allow yourself to be guided inward, to listen to the intuitive flow of your natural life cycles and feminine rhythms.

Take this opportunity to share from your heart, and be held in the full support of the Divine Feminine in her many forms. In the presence of mother nature, bathe in the compassionate loving kindness of supportive women by your side, and create sacred space together in life transforming healing ceremonies.

Share. Dream. Be inspired.

At the Goddess Altar, it comes naturally to let our inspiring feminine qualities shine and be shared with one another, bringing light and reconnection to the different aspects of the Goddess and Medicine Woman within you.

Sanjivani will also guide you in a Shamanic soul healing journey, during which you will have the opportunity to retrieve a soul gift, a healed soul part, a new soul contract, a power animal, or even a new possibility for your destiny. You will be given guidance on practices to help you integrate and anchor the healing of your shamanic journey, by working at the level of the sacred, of the soul, of the mythic.

This special time together will culminate on the last evening with a Full Moon shamanic healing fire ceremony on the beach, during which you will have the opportunity to offer your prayers to Spirit, and connect to source for healing.

2012 is a time to deepen our experience and embodiment of peace, balance and freedom on the soul level. In allowing yourself to give and receive, you embark on your own personal healing journey.
