Soul Explorations Travel Tribe is heading to sunny Nicaragua this winter and you’re invited to come along.
This retreat lasts from February 21st through 28th, 2016 and will be 8 days and 7 nights dedicated to balance as we heal ourselves through yoga, meditation, group talks, local adventures, surfing, relaxing, and good food. I am really excited about having amazing people come together for this retreat.
Every day that doesn’t involve travel will begin with a group meditation and yoga session. There will be plenty of time to follow your heart’s desire for sunbathing, taking a surf lesson, paddle boarding, etc. At the end of the day we will come back together for evening yin yoga and some soul exploration. This is also an opportunity for guests to share healing modalities, guide us in song and dance, or create ceremonies. This is OUR retreat so we can find ways to soothe our unique souls and learn from one another.
The trip will begin with two nights at Apoyo Lodge, situated on a gorgeous crater lake. The first night will be restful after the traveling is done. The second night will provide us with a heart opening cacao ceremony. Days will provide opportunities for swimming, tubing, or hiking among the monkeys.
From there on day 3, We will head up North to the highlands to spend an average afternoon with a local coffee farmer as he walks us through the highlands of Miraflor and takes us through the history of the land, the formation of cooperatives, the Contra War, and the stories behind your cup of coffee. The day hike will take us up and down rolling hills, past farms, and end at a fresh water hole for a dip. We will start the day with a typical Nica breakfast and return back to the farmer’s home for a late lunch, meet the children, cook with mom, sit around the table listen to their stories, and have our lives changed. A portion of the costs goes toward El Libro Volador, the local Mobile Library Bus project bringing books and education to the rural communities of Miraflor.
