A Women’s Circle

The gateway to Laguna Bacalar is the Cancun International Airport.  A van will take you directly to the retreat center, a four hour journey.  We will be staying at Akal-ki, a natural sanctuary that was chosen by the sages of ancient Maya people as a place of purification, healing, and rebirth.

Plan to arrive Saturday, March 21 by 2 PM so that you can join us for dinner and our opening circle in our thatched roof palapa.  If you need to arrive a day earlier, we can arrange a night at a hotel by the airport, and a van to pick you up the morning of March 21.  Each day will begin with breakfast followed by morning circle.  Yoga will be scheduled throughout the week.  There are spa services at the Akal-ki, and we are also planning one journey to the ancient Mayan city of Kohunlich.  Evening group will be after dinner with our final gathering/closing ritual Friday, March 27.  Plan to leave from the Cancun International Airport after 12 noon Saturday, March 28.

Your accommodations are beautiful bungalows perched on the Laguna, with private bath and a deck right on the lake.  The cost of the retreat is $2000, which includes the retreat, lodging (double occupancy), all meals, and the journey to Kohunlich.  For single occupancy, add $400.  Fee does not include airport transfers or tips.  A non-refundable $500 deposit will hold your space.  Full payment is due by January 15, 2009.  Cancellations must be received in writing by January 15, 2009 for your payment (less the deposit) to be refunded.
