Do you ever feel like November is a big rush toward a lot of stress?
What would it be like to enter the holiday season centered, relaxed
and genuinely joyful?

Autumn is the time to reflect on the harvest, to gather and store the resources that see you through the winter season. It is a time to return to essence. This November, we invite you to return to your essence in Tulum, Mexico during a week-long retreat called, Returning: Creative Pathways to Unleashing Your Essence.

Let us tell you a little story….

We, Elizabeth, Tricia and Sarah, went on a trip to Mexico in 2006, with the intention of letting Spirit guide us in developing a retreat. We found the healing waters and beautiful jungles of Tulum on the Mayan Riviera. While there, we had some amazing experiences.

One night, as we sat swinging in a hanging bed on the beach looking up at the bright sparkling stars above, Sarah heard a noise. It was a strange noise and in the darkness, she couldn’t make out where it was coming from. We continued our conversation.  Sarah heard the noise a few more times and finally stood up to investigate. She went around the bed and as her eyes adjusted to the darkness she could see a mound moving ahead of her. “Ladies, you need to come here right now and look at this.” And do you know what it was? It was a sea turtle. We briefly shone a flashlight and the turtle stopped, turned and looked at us, then returned to burying her eggs. In that moment of stars, ocean and a mother sea turtle, magic was present.

This is the kind of magic that we can get too busy to recognize. That mother turtle was fulfilling the destiny of her lifetime by returning to the beach where she was born to give birth to her own children.

What would be possible if we took the time to return to our source to find that sense of magic?

That moment inspired our  intention of awakening magic in people. That magic is a part of what we call essence. So we dreamed up this retreat to give you the time and space to cultivate and celebrate the deepest truth of who you are.  During Returning: Creative Pathways to Unleashing Your Essence,  you will learn skills to reveal and release the old beliefs and layers of gunk that can get in the way, and to live from a core strength of essence. Bringing our passions together, we call ourselves Art. Vision. Inspired Action. AVIA is the abbreviation. We have planned a week of movement, yoga, song, art, creativity, and depth of learning for you to discover and deepen your relationship with your essence.

Take a moment to learn more about our retreat on our website.  Deadline to register is August 10^th!

Celebrating you,
Sarah, Tricia and Elizabeth
