Strengthening Intuition, Equine Therapy, Energy Channeling and Rainboots

What do all of those things have in common? They are all part of this week's Goddesses in Paradise Women's Retreat at AmaTierra! Since our last update, the group has been all over the map-- visiting the Central Pacific Coast and Sweet Prince Horse Ranch, and taking part in unique spiritual workshops to gain a deeper connection to the Divine Feminine within. Braving the refreshing rain with rubber boots, raincoats and umbrellas, these goddesses recognize that with these rains of change all around us, true transformation is in the air!

The past two days have been enlightening, with group work geared toward strengthening our natural energy sensitivities and intuition through partner practices that emphasize color awareness, connection to our natural surroundings and sensory energy perception. Retreat Hostess Andrea Mikana-Pinkham led an energy channeling session, reminding us to "be who we be" in every given moment of our spiritual journey through focusing on our inner awareness, presence and love.

Next, sunshine, waves and a girls' shopping day in Jaco Beach were the perfect combination for a mid-week excursion. And today's special trip to the Sweet Prince Horse Ranch for equine-assisted therapy led by Mark and Marsha Friedman was the icing on the cake, as the group was able to connect with the horses, whose natural intuition works as a reflecting mirror to our human emotions. Tomorrow, the Goddess group zips to Turubari eco-adventure park for a burst of adrenaline on the zip line canopy tour after a guided hike through the park. Fun!

With such a wonderful week well underway, Andrea is already gearing up to host another retreat next year, so write us if you are interested in participating in 2011 so we can be sure to save you a spot on the guest list. amatierra@gmail.com
