Empower Yourself! Join us on a Self-Care, Self-Awareness, Self-Discovery, Self-Healing Retreat in Beautiful San Ignacio, Belize
July 23-29, 2023 with Joyce St. Germaine, M.Ed., CHt., RYT-200 of The Sacred Journey and Kerrie Fleming, LMT, CNRT, CST, MMP of Soul Bodywork
Have you noticed that you seem more reactive to everything around you? That you feel incomplete? Out-of-balance? Out-of-touch? Maybe you don't even recognize yourself anymore! Here is your opportunity to open, flow, balance, restore, and reclaim yourself through powerful healing practices, loving offered in the sacred, nurturing jungle of Belize.
The land, water, air, trees and plants, rocks and minerals, animals, people, ancient and modern cultures of Belize will cradle you as you heal.
Join two highly experienced practitioners and teachers on a Belizean jungle retreat, designed to be deeply healing and incredibly self-empowering. It will combine both powerful shamanic practices and physical/energetic practices. This retreat will focus on Soul Retrieval and Vagus Nerve Rebalancing. Soul Retrieval is an ancient shamanic practice which is based on the understanding that, during times of physical, emotional, or spiritual trauma, little bits of soul essence break away and hide where they feel safe. These soul parts may remain in hiding for years or even lifetimes. People commonly describe feeling as if "something's missing" or not feeling "whole".
Vagus Nerve Rebalancing works with the principle that trauma is held in the body and greatly affects the nervous system and our responses to life on every level. It often appears as malfunctioning polyvagal nerve, a topic which is gaining much attention in the health and wellness field. When this is out of balance we have brain fog & confusion, lack of energy & motivation, digestive issues and sensitivity. Our body just needs a gentle reminder of being back into balance, peace & love.
Joyce will guide you through shamanic practices to help you identify lost soul parts, determine which are ready to return, safely retrieve them through guided shamanic journeying, and restore them energetically into your true soul essence.
Kerrie will teach and assist you with techniques to release trauma which has been stored in your body, thus creating space in the body for receiving more soul parts. You will experience a shifting of the state of your nervous system and a rebalancing the vagus nerve. Breathe deeper, feel happy again.
You will be carefully guided and completely supported as you heal. This exploration and fusion of Shamanic and Bodywork practices is ground-breaking and promises to bring about true healing and self-empowerment!
Although we will work deeply and intensely, there will be ample time to enjoy the treasures of Belize on expertly guided day trip to breath-taking natural sights and astonishing ancient cultural sites. Hike, swim under a waterfall, climb a pyramid, nap in a hammock...we promise to offer a much-needed balance of work and play!
Our trip in Belize begins with an airport pick-up by our private driver and guide, my dear friend, Philip Mai, in our private van or bus. Philip will be our driver and guide for the entire week. We will enjoy lunch en route to Pine Ridge Mountain Lodge, where we will meet our host Neil and his friendly staff. They will help us to get settled and prepare a delicious dinner for us.
Pine Ridge Mountain Lodge is a family friendly, authentic jungle eco-lodge, situated on the stunning Pine Ridge Nature Reserve. It is home to a 1,000-foot waterfall, two rivers, three creeks, hundreds of bird species, stunning tropical gardens, and orchid-lined paths. The entire lodge is ours with dedicated gathering space. We will have free wi-fi and delicious, mostly organic food. Then we will fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the jungle in nicely appointed cabanas and rooms.
We have planned guided visits to ancient Maya Ruins and the sacred Rio Frio Cave, Rio On Pools, Green Hills Butterfly Ranch and their on-site hummingbird garden. We will also experience waterfall playing, moon whispering, Artbox gallery with local artisan’s crafts, and birdwatching with my dear Maya friend, Philip Mai, known as “The Birdman of Belize”. This includes a visit to his organic farm, home to a 500-year old Ceiba tree, where we will hold a special shamanic ceremony. Under his wife, Nila's loving direction, we will help prepare a traditional Maya dinner to enjoy with my adoptive family.
