Location & Accommodation

Location
Todos Santos, Baja, the closest town to our home for the week, is a 10 minute drive away. We will offer 2 excursions to Todos Santos during the Retreat. A vortex where the Tropic of Cancer, Sierra de Laguna Mountains, Baja Desert and the Pacific Ocean meet, Todos Santos is a charming artist’s community bustling with galleries, cafes, and authentic Mexican stores filled with pottery and keepsakes.

Accommodation
The first night will be spent in the quaint Mexican town of San Jose at El Encanto Inn. This small colonial town has been known for centuries as an oasis of the southern Baja. Priding themselves on park-like setting and traditional ambiance, San Jose, rated as one of the cleanest small towns in Mexico, enjoys temperate climates year round, tranquil beaches and a slow, relaxed lifestyle.

The next day we will transport you from San Jose to your home for the next 6 days, Serendipity, a 1 ½ hour scenic drive

Serendipity, an ocean oasis in the Baja desert, is a relaxing alternative to “Cabo madness” and offers the perfect blend of resort comfort and undisturbed natural surroundings.

Located on the outskirts of Todos Santos, this peaceful ocean getaway has air-conditioned private and shared accommodations, a variety of gathering areas and patios, a large pool and Jacuzzi, a fully equipped professional kitchen, an outdoor bonfire area complete with serving bar, grill, and many other amenities that are perfect for small retreats or lazy vacations.

Direct access to miles of pristine beach, spectacular views of ocean sunsets, seasonal whales, mountain peaks and the Las Tunas valley, and proximity to surfing beaches, nature excursions, or shopping at the many galleries in Todos Santos make Serendipity a truly unique home-away-from home experience for visitors seeking a special place to breathe and enjoy the magic of this Baja paradise.

Theresa Morin, R.Y.T., B.ED.

Thirteen years ago Theresa was drawn to yoga to relieve the aches
and pains caused by running , cycling and skiing. It soon became obvious that yoga was much more than a good stretch. Theresa found that her yoga practice increased body awareness, strengthened balance, improved mobility, and deepened concentration.

Since then Theresa has studied many different traditions including Iyengar, Ashtanga, Anasara, and Vinyasa Flow Yoga. This eclectic background is reflected in her teaching style. Presently, she teaches studio classes, school groups, young athletes, and private lessons.
Because the philosophy of yoga has enriched her life even more than the asanas, these guiding principles find their way into her daily practice and teachings.

The Food

You will be nourished with Prana-infused organic meals prepared by Shani Cranston of Milagro Retreats with love and consciousness. Daily breakfast, lunch and dinner will be included in your package. Most meals will be vegetarian, with fresh fish and seafood served occasionally throughout the week.

Raw Concepts and Living Food will be incorporated into the menu to encourage healthy eating habits. The kitchen is an open concept and you are welcome to join Shani and learn with ‘hands on’ preparation. She will be creating divine dishes such as Avocado Gazpacho, Raw Almond Mylk and Vegan Chocolate Pudding.

Transformational Breathwork
An introduction to the powerful self healing process of Transformational Breathwork with Kim Clapham will enrich your experience.

Transformational Breath Is:

• A permanent relaxation technique that causes our innate joy to permeate our totality.

• The art of bringing the Spirit Body back into full contact with the physical body, and restore the connection between the mind and body.

• Causes the integration of suppressions and permanent clearing of the subconscious mind

• And much much more...
