This one week trip will be held at the Maya Tulum resort on Mexico’s Mayan Riviera just 90 miles south of Cancun. Ranked #10 best resort in the world by Travel and Leisure magazine, this beach retreat, located on the azure blue waters of the Caribbean, features a pristine private beach, eco-conscious accommodations, delicious meals, a wide array of massage and spa treatments, and a warm and friendly staff.

An Invitation to the Journey

It is with a joyful soul and an open heart that I invite you to join me and a circle of spirited sisters on a journey to Tulum, Mexico, September 20 to September 27.

Part pilgrimage, part spiritual journey and part spa vacation, we are calling this second annual event “Harvesting Our Passionate Wisdom” because during this time, supported by the energies of this sacred place, we will explore the divine feminine and reconnect with our deepest essence in a way that is both mystical and practical. Our intention is to not only harvest all that we have uncovered in ourselves through the cosmic doorway of Tulum, but to bring the wisdom home and incorporate it into our day-to-day lives.

Like all journeys, it starts with a leap of faith into the unknown, and like all journeys it has the potential to open you, challenge you and, ultimately, transform you. It also can take us deeper into unknown parts of ourselves, both individually and collectively—and to do so on many levels.

On a mystical level, we will step through the doorway of Mayan magic. Through ritual and ceremony, we will connect with the elements and recalibrate our feminine soul at the deepest core which, in turn, will lead us into the heart of the Divine Mother.

On a cosmic level, we will reclaim our collective wisdom through a transmission of celestial energy, supported by the powerful and transformative energies of the fall Equinox.

On an emotional level, we will clear and release, opening ourselves up to possibility and creating a more honest relationship with self, others and the divine.

On a sisterhood level, we will connect with like-minded souls who may be walking the same path as us and have the opportunity celebrate and deepen existing friendships.

On a physical level, we will simply enjoy the sun, the sand, the water, the delicious food, the amazing spa treatments and all that the Maya Tulum resort has to offer.

And on a personal level, we will recommit to ourselves, finding a way in to our true nature that allows us to walk through the world confident, informed and free.

It sounds like a lot to pack into one week, but our first trip to Tulum managed to do all this and more in just five days. Now we have the luxury of time to soak up all that this land, these people, this sacred hoop can offer us. Last year the journey brought us beyond our wildest dreams to a place we hadn’t yet imagined. I know I can speak for everyone who attended that it changed our lives, brought us closer to our true selves. This year, as everything in our lives is changing, the journey to Maya Tulum offers us the opportunity to change consciously, with clear intention and an open heart.

The Mayans have a greeting, Lak’ech, which means I am another you. To all of you, I say Lak’esh. Together may we rediscover our ancient, timeless and deep connection as women walking a shared path of intention, wonder in beauty. In the company of such love and support, may our personal gifts be awakened and shared. I look forward to seeing your glorious faces illuminated by Ixchel, the Mayan moon goddess, at our Equinox fire ceremony on the pristine beach at Tulum. We all walk the same path. Let’s take this journey together.

With Love and Gratitude,

Susan
