Monday, March 25: Releasing/Cleansing
We will be traveling to our San Miguel Retreat Home after breakfast to spend the day in conversation and ceremony. Before embarking on any sacred journey that opens our hearts and souls to transformation, it's crucial to release and cleanse anything that weighs us down and takes up precious space within us. This empties our vessel, allowing us to receive new visions, intentions, and the space for them to grow and manifest in reality. During our morning session, we will have an opportunity to reflect on what is limiting us, identify which beliefs are ready to be released, and shed old patterns that no longer serve us.
Light vegetarian lunch break (included)
The releasing / cleansing will continue, at our retreat space, guarded by Archangel Michael, where we will embark on a deep healing process and rebirth. We will complete this afternoon's process around 6 pm.
To enjoy the Magic of the Full Moon we invite you to have dinner in one of the most magical rooftops of San Miguel de Allende. (optional).

Tuesday, March 26: As Within So Without, As Above So Below - Cañada De La Virgen
Today, we will depart from the hotel at 9:00 am to our special visit to La Canada De La Virgen. Upon arrival at the tourist center, we will embark on a walking/hiking journey to the ancient temples' location. While the road we take is wide, as shown in the picture below, it is a consistent uphill climb that will require physical strength. Therefore, if you are not feeling your best, this activity may not be suitable for you. It is worth noting that San Miguel is at an elevation of 6,300 ft, while Canada is at 7,000 ft. To adjust to the elevation and follow our tour guide's instructions, we will make a few stops along the way.
Once we reach the temples complex at the top, it's relatively easy to walk around since the area is mostly flat (as shown in the pictures below). However, the steps to reach the top of the pyramid are not easy, so you may choose to stay below the pyramid and meditate instead.
Located on a plateau at an elevation of 7,000 ft, the Cañada de la Virgen complex is a breathtaking testament to the architects of the ancient pyramids. Surrounded by gorges and an ancient forest that once flourished in a cooler, wetter climate, the location provided the settlers with fertile black soil, building materials, and abundant flora and fauna.
The Relox Cosmico, or the Cosmic Clock, is the main pyramid/patio complex at Cañada de la Virgen, also known as the 'House of the Thirteen Heavens.' Evidence suggests that the complex was oriented towards the movement of the moon, and some speculate that this was a matriarchal society.
Initially thought to be just another mound, the pyramid was first reported to the government in 1985 by a cowboy. The area was purchased by a German woman in 1999, and the pyramid was eventually opened to the public in 2011.
The Pyramid de la Virgen was a religious center where gods and ancestors were worshipped, and the movement of celestial bodies and their relationship to points on the earth were studied. The people had a rich pantheon of gods who they believed incarnated as their ruling class.
The topographical features of the surrounding dormant volcano, Volcan Palo Huerfano, were deeply significant to the architects of the pyramids. The astronomer priests understood that the celestial bodies and land forms were the Gods interacting, and they viewed it as their job to keep the celestial clock progressing and ensuring the sun would continue to rise.

During our tour, our knowledgeable local guide will introduce us to Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca, two important deities in the Mesoamerican culture who collaborated in creation. They represented the duality of life, with Quetzalcoatl embodying the light and Tezcatlipoca representing the darkness. Their images were commonly painted on pottery and bark paper books known as codices. Understanding their complementary roles is crucial to comprehending this ancient culture.
After returning to the hotel, take some time to meditate, rest and restore. From 4 to 7 pm, Jim will be available for Higher Ground Pendulum Sessions (included in the retreat). To ensure that we can organize his calendar and offer at least one session to each participant, please schedule in advance through this link: https://calendly.com/jim-hostler/meeting-invitation-with-jim-hostler

Thursday, March 28: Ideal LifeVision and Shadow Aspect Liberation
Free Morning!!! This is your only free morning... we suggest you to indulge in the hotel's SPA, unwind by the pool or take a stroll through the diversity of local art at the San Miguel Artisan Market.
Following lunch, the journey into our profound inner work will continue to reveal new layers. We have two enlightening sessions planned for you.
First, Ann Webb, the visionary behind the Ideal LifeVision method, will share her extensive experience, spanning over three decades. She'll walk you through her personal journey, demonstrating the remarkable success she's achieved using this approach.
So, what is the Ideal LifeVision? In a nutshell, it's a methodical system for setting and realizing your goals and dreams. Unlike other self-help methods like SMART goals, affirmations, or vision boards, the Ideal LifeVision is all about constructing a detailed blueprint for your life. It involves precisely outlining your desires across various dimensions of your life, enabling you to systematically work towards turning those aspirations into reality.
If you've grown disenchanted with vague notions like "The Secret" and are on the hunt for a pragmatic and effective way to manifest your true desires, the Ideal LifeVision method could be your solution. It offers you a clear and actionable path for designing a purpose-driven life and effectively pursuing your objectives. No mysticism here, just practical steps to help you craft and live the life you've always envisioned.
Our second session for the afternoon will be led by Vera Lopez, an Integrative Coach trained by Debbie Ford and the Ford Institute.
Vera's journey towards self-growth and development encountered a critical turning point when her own shadows seemed to take control of her life. She couldn't fathom how she ended up in such a negative space so suddenly. Desperate for answers and healing, she found her way to Debbie Ford's transformative work, the Shadow Process.
Over the course of an intense three days immersed in the Shadow Process, Vera experienced numerous profound breakthroughs. This profound experience inspired her to become one of Ford's certified coaches. Her path began with personal coaching through the process, which eventually led her to guide and educate others. Since then, she's been deeply passionate about understanding and harnessing the power of the shadow.
You might be wondering, what exactly is the Shadow Process, and how can working with our shadows unlock the door to happiness and fulfillment?
Engaging with our shadows involves the process of liberating the hidden aspects of ourselves that we've repressed and denied, yet still heavily influence our decision-making. Each day, we hinder our progress and hold ourselves back due to doubts about our worthiness and capabilities. We convince ourselves that the right time to pursue our desires and make meaningful changes is somewhere in the distant future, but that future never seems to materialize.
We excel at...
Recognizing that our shadows are, in fact, influencing our lives rather than us owning them, is a profound realization. It helps explain why many of our dreams, visions, and affirmations often fall short of delivering results.
When you combine the transformative potential and liberation offered by shadow work with the structured Ideal LifeVision method, you gain access to the true "Secret." It's time to break free from the cycle of pursuing perfection and constantly trying to meet others' expectations. Unearth a life where struggle gives way to an effortless transition into a new version of yourself, one you've never before experienced. Take the leap and embark on an exploration of your inner world and your various selves. This journey may lead you to the transformation you've been eagerly anticipating and the creation of a life you'll truly relish living.
Take easy tonight, you will have allot to reflect and meditate upon. Tomorrow is another intense and life altering experience.

We excel at...
- Criticizing our bodies and subjecting ourselves to deprivation.
- Self-sabotaging and repelling the love and connections we yearn for.
- Assigning blame to ourselves for not being the perfect parent, provider, or partner.
- Allowing our past to dictate our future.
- and so much more...

Ideal LifeVision is my very favorite goal setting and more importantly, goal achieving tool to support me as I manifest my dreams. Its unique, easy-to-implement process is one of a kind! I learned so much in the classes from Ann’s personal experience and her tips on how to get even more specific with my goals. She also offered tons of ideas about things to include in my LifeVision as well as some amazing samples that really get the wheels turning for me. But it was the feedback and critique that really made a difference in getting my LifeVision where I wanted it to be. Working with her was what pushed me to finally get it done so I could listen to it daily. The best part is, it’s working!”

What past participants have to say...
In 1993, I had the honor and privilege of meeting Vera Lopez, who led me and a group on a spiritual journey to Machu Picchu, which was one of the most unforgettable and fulfilling experiences of my life. However, my recent trip to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico in March 2023 for the "Shamanic Mysteries of the Sacred Heart Retreat" surpassed even that.
Vera's impressive bio speaks volumes of her professional expertise in leading spiritual tours across Europe, Africa/Egypt, and now Mexico. The itinerary for the retreat in October is well-organized with the best hotels, food, and transportation that Mexico has to offer. The daily assimilation with the locals was my favorite part of the trip, and I am sure it will be yours too. As a retired schoolteacher of 25 years and now 76 years old, I can attest that Vera and Jim are worthy of an A+++ ❤️🇲🇽. The trip to San Miguel Allende was informative, exciting, and most importantly, life-changing. In fact, it was so impactful for me that I have decided to move to San Miguel soon. The city is safe, clean, and awe-inspiring, with plenty of opportunities to explore the cobblestone streets and indulge in the local culture. Visiting the central area near the cathedral, listening to Mariachis sing and play instruments while people danced, and exploring local boutiques, specialty stores, and coffee shops were just a few of the highlights of my trip. Vera avoids the tourist traps, which I appreciated, and every day was full of astonishing surprises. I have plenty of beautiful videos and pictures to cherish forever. San Miguel de Allende here I come. 🇲🇽 ❤️🥰💃 Sandi Powell

I love traveling with Vera Lopez and fellow travelers, drawn to “Spirits of the Earth’s” adventures. My life long desire to explore Machu Pichu, Peru, was fulfilled when I learned a girlfriend and her new friends on the West Coast had hired Vera Lopez and “Spirits of the Earth” to guide them there. I JUST HAD TO GO on the already full trip, even though I only knew my friend and we lived in different cities. . . . . I did! It changed what was possible for me and brought “magic” into my life. The sacred sites we visit are beautiful and located in the most incredible natural environments. I feel awe. (Sedona, Arizona red rocks; Glastonbury, England and Avalon; Canadian forest and lakes; Cusco, Peru and Machu Pichu). Myths and legends cloak these places of powerful energy and as I learn of them, my knowledge expands. ( Stone Henge, Egyptian Pyramids, Hopi Indian Reservation, Arizona; Ste. Marie de la Mer, France). We may participate in rituals and ceremonies which transport me and give me my own experience of the power of these sites. I connect to a higher vibration and state of consciousness. (Full moon ceremony on Solstice, Machu Pichu; Awakening the Heart, San Miguel de Allende, México). Whether in Peru, Brazil, Sedona, Arizona, England, France, Egypt, Spain, Canada, or Mexico, I learn and grow in the safe company of like-minded women. I make new friends, have a lot of fun and laughter, sight see, hike, and in between levitations (Gotcha! HaHa) enjoy shopping and of course fabulous food. What’s not to love? These soulful adventures are FUN and connect me both to ancient wisdom, which my life takes on as I go home and then shows up as greater kindness or compassion to myself and others. Thank You Vera Lopez and to my fellow travelers. Linda Pasts |
