"Fanning Your Spark into Flame" Retreat
A "Goddesses and Pirates" Retreat on Isla Mujeres, Mexico.
October 27 - November 3, 2012
 THE ISLAND:
Isla Mujeres has a long and colourful history. In Mayan times, the island served as the sanctuary for the goddess Ixchel, the Mayan Goddess of fertility, reason, medicine, happiness and the moon. For many centuries Isla Mujeres was uninhabited: the only visitors fisherman and pirates. Famous pirates like Henry Morgan and Jean Lafitte walked the shores of Isla and as legend goes, buried their stolen treasure under the white sands. Located just off the coast from Cancun, Isla Mujeres maintains its own serene and beautiful energy, away from tourist bustle. A place of peace and wonder that never leaves the soul, be you goddess or pirate at heart! | THE RETREAT (Sunday – Thursday)
Have you lost connection with your special, unique self? Do you dream of feeling empowered, but are not sure how to get there? Are you weighed down with past baggage? Do you have a vision of yourself and what your life could be, but are unsure of the tools to make it happen? The “Fanning Your Spark into Flame Retreat” will get you there! Beginning on Sunday night with the “Igniting the Spark” ceremony, each of the 5 days will delve deeply into the areas and issues that stop one from living fully, unconditionally and authentically. Pre-breakfast meditation will set the daily intention. Morning lecture and afternoon practicum will allow each participant to apply new concepts to one’s own life and situation, activating immediate change. Day 5 of the Retreat begins with a Dawn “Harnessing the Flame” Ceremony by the Temple of Ixchel: an opportunity to anchor the inner shifts and truly begin a new approach to one’s life. This Retreat takes place during the time of the Mexican Festival “Dia de los Muertos”: a perfect time to identify and release that which we no longer want to hold us back and allow vibrant new energy to carry us forward. Evenings and all day Friday, explore Isla! |

Be a Part of the Change...
2012 has long been the buzz. The ending of the Mayan Calendar has heralded doomsday messages. But the truth in the prophecy lies not in cataclysm, but the coming of a shift in consciousness. The world is at a crossroads, perhaps like never before in history. As our personal futures lie within our choices, so will that have effects beyond our own selves.
The Hive and Grove is so excited that this Retreat not only falls during the "Dia de Los Muertos" Festival, but at a hugely significant time in Mayan history with the ending of the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012. The opportunity to open oneself to a powerful time of change is certainly at hand.
And we extend a hand of invitation...
