What kind of content is in our workshops?
Let Marni take you through a thoughtfully curated journey to release, restore and recharge your heart, mind, body, and spirit! We will explore our health and wellness through a unique WHOLE being wellness approach. Open and close each day through guided meditation, movement, breathwork, ceremony, or prayer. Our daily experiential learning sessions include diverse methods such as visualization, meditation, reflective journaling, movement, cognitive skill practices, along with a variety of ceremonies to honor the various stages of our transformative healing journey. There is space for you to go as deep into your inner landscape as you choose! Reconnecting with our own heart-mind wisdom, we will create your personal template of tools and skills to further guide our lives when we return home. The week is perfectly balanced with playtime, group adventures, time to relax, daily workshops, and lots of magical gatherings under the moon and stars! Adventure, self-inquiry, soul searching, and meaningful connection have harmoniously recharged your WHOLE being. Leave the week with heart, mind, and spirit restored in balance and beauty.
When do the webinars begin?
The workshop series begins a couple of weeks before we depart for Belize via ZOOM! When we arrive together in Belize, we will have already seen each other’s faces and started the life-changing journey together. We will also meet by ZOOM once after the retreat to touch base on how everyone is integrating the experiences back into their daily lives. No worries if you can’t make one of the video sessions, we will send you the link! Further coaching sessions are available with Marni.
What is included in the retreat cost?
The list is AMAZING. Check out the retreat page for the details. IT DOES NOT cover your airfare to Belize, tips, incidentals, travel insurance, souvenirs, and alcohol. If you are wanting additional spa treatments or other activities outside of our retreat, you will be responsible for those as well.
What is the cancellation policy?
The fee charged to participate in the retreat can be paid in installments. Participant understands and agrees that after she/he has applied for and confirmed participation in the retreat, the participant will make arrangements for the retreat based on Participant’s attendance (for example, booking lodging and not accepting other Program participants for the slot taken by Participant). For this reason, in the event Participant cancels enrollment in the retreat after registration and confirming participation, all monies paid on or before the notice of cancellation shall be retained in order to offset its loss of business. In order to pay in-country partners based on their requests and policies, all monies paid shall be retained if the participant cancels participation prior to the retreat departure date. Thus, if the participant withdraws from the retreat within the approximate 60 day period immediately preceding the retreat departure date, no portion of the retreat fee will be returned. We reserve the right to cancel the trip if it is not meeting the trip minimum (if we do so, your funds are refunded in full). Trip cancellation insurance is always recommended whenever making travel plans. Should you have to cancel your attendance, you must advise us with written documentation and received written confirmation from our team.
Cancellation before November 15, 2022: Full refund less $500 deposit.
Cancellation before January 15, 2023: 30% refund less $500 deposit.
Cancellation between January 15, 2023 and retreat start date (May 28, 2023): Refund dependent on re-filling your cancelled booking less $500 deposit.
Retreat In-Progress Termination: Non-refundable. If a participant begins the retreat, but terminates their participation (either voluntary or is expelled) before the published end date, February 19th, 2022, no refund or credit for any unused activities, excursions, meals or lodging will be reimbursed.
Late arrival: In the event that your arrival to or departure from the retreat is delayed for any reason (including, but not limited to: weather, mechanical difficulties, airline delays, political unrest, etc.), we cannot offer any refunds or compensation for any losses incurred. It is the responsibility of the traveler to obtain travel insurance if they so desire. The participant is responsible for all incurred transportation and airline fees associated with late arrival or early departure.
Do I have to share a room?
You can absolutely have your own room! We have accommodations for single, double, and triple occupancy. If you would like us to find you a roommate from our attendees, we are happy to do that as well. There are plenty of options to fit your needs and the resort is spacious, tranquil, beautiful, and accommodating!
I have food allergies. Is that okay?
All of the food is prepared fresh at our retreat. When you fill out the registration documents, there is a place for you to list any food allergies. While at the resort, the staff will have a variety of options. You can count on some common staples while in Belize: mangoes, papaya, beans, rice, seafood, chicken, eggs, and lots of plantains. Because the retreat is on a private island, if you have specific food needs, we recommend bringing any supplements or other specific items needed during your stay!
Do you have recommended flights? Can I have help booking my airfare to and from Belize?
There are popular routes into Belize from Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, and Miami. Please book the flight that’s best for your home destination and arrive anytime on February 19th. We will be greeting you as soon as you exit the Belize City International Airport (BZE) and will be taking care of the rest from there!
We are always happy to help individuals book airfare and provide additional ideas if you’d like to arrive early or stay later than the retreat to do additional traveling. Please let us know if you would like someone to book your airfare and/or chat more about travel details and we will get that completed for you.
Do you have scholarships available?
Yes, we have FIVE scholarships for $500 available this year. Please nominate yourself or an individual who would be a good fit on our scholarship page.
What is the best way to get in contact with you?
We are super easy to contact! Please submit a quick note on the Contact Us page and Marni or Kelli will get back to you as soon as possible.
