Portals to the Self: A Women's Circle by the Sea

Portals to the Self: A Women’s Circle by the Sea
Isla Mujeres, Mexico
March 20 – 27, 2010

Ceci McDonnell LISW and Karen Rosenberg, LISW, experienced therapists and guides, are offering their women’s retreats for the 11th year.

Joining Ceci and Karen will be Lisa Hernandez who lives on Isla Mujeres. Lisa is a guide of sacred sites in Mexico and a teacher of the ancient Maya and their culture. As a Yoga teacher, her devotion is to help women inhabit their bodies with loving-attention and respect, inviting us to respond intuitively to our body’s wisdom.

The Isla Mujeres, Mexico retreat is on a beautiful island, Isle of Women, in the turquoise blue Caribbean Sea. This small island, sacred to Ixchel, the Mayan Moon Goddess, was historically a place for healing rituals among the Mayan people. Participants will stay at the NaBalam, an intimate, informal hotel on the beach where landscaped trails, tropical gardens with hammocks hidden away and the beauty of the ocean will provide a perfect abode for the retreat. We will create ritual at the ancient temple ruins of the Goddess Ixchel.

Yoga, storytelling, journaling, guided imagery, and more…. will serve as forms to access the myriad of blessings and beauty that flow freely in each of us. We invite women to gather for a time of retreat and replenishment. Together, we will create a circle of abundance, compassion and support as we weave together our stories and wisdom, becoming midwives of our dreams and visions.
