I've just returned from our phenomenal Mexico retreat. Every time I go down there, I fall in love with the land and the wonderful Mayan people all over again. This year was no exception. This time, we stayed right in Sian Ka'an federal bio-sphere reserve, so we really got to experience the bounty and beauty of coastal Mexico in a way that many people never get to do.

There is something really special about being in deep relationship to land, and living on that land in a gentle way. This was not some big fancy resort spa with all the decadence within hands reach and I was happy for it. Being closer to nature helps a person to really settle down and receive the gifts that being connected to the essence of life can give. The land here defintiely is traversed by a number of people, but it still retains a sense of wildness that is both deep and powerful. Perhaps part of what I love about that is how it helps me to connect with my own deep and wild self that is not fully domsticated... it is true to its self. Being deep in nature is a perfect locale for returning to one's own truth and to move outside of where we've been so we can easily see wahere to go next with out the disturbance of external influences.

This retreat was a remarkable opportunity for postive change. Not only did we reach some of those heights, but we also had a fantastic time. as you'll see from some of the pictures from this years retreat! Click here to enjoy those pictures in this year's retreat gallery. Enjoy!
