From Transition to Transformation:
A Women's Retreat in the Andes of Ecuador
August 10-19, 2012
This unique journey will bring you to the breathtaking high Andean mountains, the colorful marketplace of Otavalo and the Termas de Papallacta, cloud forest hot springs.
In the beauty of nature, within a supportive community of women, you will pause from your busy life and gently get back in touch with your inner wisdom to emerge a more empowered YOU.
Some of our experiences include:
- Heart Opening fire ceremony with master Yachaks Don Esteban and Don Jorge Tamayo surrounded by pristine mountains, rivers and waterfalls in the natural sacredness of the village where they live and work.
- Small group exercises and ceremony designed to access deeper levels of awareness in order to bring past experiences to completion and move more powerfully back into your life with a deeper sense of joy and self
- Pilgrimages on the land to connect with the sacredness of nature and the ancient wisdom of the Incas.
- Shopping in Otavalo - one of Latin America’s most colorful outdoor markets.
- Time to replenish and integrate our experiences in the natural volcanic fed hot springs of Papallacta Thermas nestled in the magical cloud forest.
To facilitate your joyous journey from transition to transformation, we reside in the Valley of the Dawn, an ancient rural village encircled by three sacred mountains. Activities are carefully balanced with day-trips, group activities, nature, reflection and relaxation. For integration and pampering, our last three days are spent at the Termas of Papallacta hotel, enjoying its natural volcanic fed hot springs and spa. We leave Ecuador aligned, refreshed, renewed and invigorated to live our heart’s desires.
Come with an open heart, prepared to laugh and have some FUN!
