❤️ ​HEALING WELLNESS RETREATS

Healing Wellness Retreats: Private & Customized for Self-Growth

Modern medicine has indeed provided evidence supporting what many of us have intuitively known for some time: chronic stress and anxiety can have detrimental effects on all systems of the body. The impact of stress goes beyond just mental and emotional well-being, as it can also contribute to physical health issues, fatigue, lack of inspiration, and an overall sense of discontentment. Furthermore, prolonged stress can hinder our ability to creatively cope with life's challenges.

In order to cultivate hope and regain a sense of balance in life, it is crucial to acquire tools for effectively managing anxiety and stress. While making improvements to our diet, learning to manage our thoughts, examining our feelings, and addressing underlying emotional patterns are essential for manifesting a peaceful and stress-free life.

By developing awareness of our thoughts and emotions, we gain the power to consciously choose how we respond to stressful situations. This involves cultivating mindfulness, practicing self-care, and engaging in activities that promote relaxation and inner peace. Additionally, exploring techniques such as meditation, breathwork, and mindfulness-based stress reduction can provide effective tools for managing stress and anxiety.

At our retreats, we offer a supportive and transformative environment where you can learn and practice these valuable tools for managing stress and anxiety. Our experienced facilitators and practitioners guide you through various practices and exercises that promote emotional healing, stress reduction, and a greater sense of inner calm. Through individual and group sessions, you will gain insights and strategies to help you navigate life's challenges with greater resilience, creativity, and peace of mind.

It is our belief that by addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of stress and anxiety, we can pave the way for a more balanced and fulfilling life. Our retreats provide a space for you to gain hope, acquire practical tools for stress management, and cultivate a peaceful and stress-free existence. Learn more...

❤️ ​SHAMANIC RETREATS
​
Awaken the Shaman Within

Neo-Shamanism is based on the belief that every individual has the capacity for their own inner shaman, whereas traditional philosophies often limited mystical knowledge to a select few within a tribe or community. In the context of modern Shamanism, the mystical experience is considered accessible to all who are open and willing to embark on a spiritual journey. Our coaches understand and respect the unique needs and aspirations of each individual, and they tailor the retreat experience accordingly.

It is worth noting that the term "Shaman" originated in Siberia and was not used by Native  tribes to refer to their healers. However, what Neo-Shamanism shares with traditional Shamanism and Native  cultures is a deep reverence for living in harmony with nature. Emphasizing the interconnectedness of all beings and recognizing everything as vibration, Neo-Shamanism embraces the energetic aspects of ceremony and prayer.

In the practice of Neo-Shamanism, there is a shift away from solely relying on logical thinking and instead embracing intuition as a guiding force. By quieting the mind and tapping into intuitive wisdom, individuals can deepen their spiritual connection and navigate their journey with greater authenticity and alignment. This approach encourages letting go of rigid structures and embracing a more fluid and intuitive way of being.

During our retreats, we honor and integrate these principles of Neo-Shamanism by creating a space where participants can connect with nature, explore their inner realms, and cultivate intuitive guidance. Through various practices such as ceremonies, meditations, and rituals, our experienced coaches guide and support individuals in their personal journeys of self-discovery, healing, and spiritual growth.

Whether you are new to Shamanic practices or have previous experience, our retreats provide a safe and transformative environment for you to explore and embrace your own unique inner shaman. Our coaches are dedicated to helping you connect with your intuitive wisdom, deepen your understanding of the interconnectedness of all things, and live in harmony with nature and your own inner guidance.

What past participants have to say...

Sandi and I, 1993, in Peru
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. 🇲🇽 ❤️🥰💃
