3rd annual Evolutionary Equinox retreat - Costa Rica

0 - 12:00am

The Art of Union would like to announce an invitation to join us here at the Diamante Verde Sanctuary for the 3rd annual Evolutionary Equinox Retreat from March 20-27. We at the Art of Union have been weaving the web between the sacred practices of yoga, conscious living, plant medicine and sacred shamanism for several years, and this year we are honored to offer an opportunity to bring this to the next level. Through a divine kin-nection that Tenasi made while in Colombia at the Sacred Fire of Itzatchilatlan Vision Quest Ceremony (please see Tenasi's blog) we will be hosting Santiago Andrade, an Equadorian Curandero, and Diana Rico, his assistant for an eight day healing and purification journey fusing amazonian plant medicines, yoga, temeskals (sweat lodges), conscious living, live foods, and community harmonizing skills .

We have space for 13 people and I encourage your to respond quickly if you wouldl like me to reserve a spot. We are asking for $700 for the retreat and need a 50% deposit (non-refundable, preferably through paypal) to reserve a spot. I offer my apologies to those of you who prefer more time to plan worldly journeys, and to those of you who are free to spin the globe at your will, I hope to see you here.

Below is our current schedule for the retreat. Please feel free to email or call me if you have questions.

may love be your lover
wisdom be your teacher
and truth be your companion
