Please RSVP via phone or email as soon as you can if you are interested in going on this retreat. Our group will consist of 12 people in total. Rooms may be shared with two people per room, single rooms will be assigned if possible- couples will have their own rooms. Each room has it's own bathroom and shower. In the case of room sharing, bed choices will be on a first come first serve basis according to when we receive deposits (as there are combinations of king, queen, futon, and single beds). The Jungle Dome Lodge is reserving their facility for us- so we will be the only guests there.

We have tried to include as many details as possible, but do not hesitate to contact us with questions at 732-229-1119.

Retreat Synopsis: This retreat came into being after Adam and Al visited Belize in 2005. It is now our third time offering this annual retreat. The power and beauty of the land of Belize is incredible and breath taking. The land and the people are deeply connected to shamanic work. Many people still work with shamans and "bush doctors" for healing today. The goal for this trip is to provide the opportunity for everyone to connect with the power, beauty, and healing of this land in a shamanic context while experiencing their own processes of transformational healing and awakening through group activities and workshops. During our past two retreats to Belize are participants expressed that the experience was both life changing and deeply healing.
