Nature Retreat Schedule

2009
March 20-27
Meditation and Kayaking Retreat

Sea of Cortez, Baja, Mexico

Come get away from winter cold and do a vipassana retreat in nature in the pristine wilderness in Baja. Last year we were accompanied by blue-nosed dolphins, spinner dolphins, and a majestic blue whale - the largest mammal on the planet. As well as spectacular star-filled skies, and dreamy sunrise and sunsets. With the rugged back drop of craggy mountains, and the deep blue waters and clear skies it is a powerful combination of elements.

This is a delightful location to practice meditation, connect deeply with the beautiful and powerful forces of nature through turquoise seas, vast skies and Baja desert islands. We will spend time meditating on beautiful beaches, under exquisite sunrise and sunset skies, doing mindful kayaking, nighttime paddling.

The retreat will be mostly in silence to support the meditative process, and there will be several periods of meditation daily as well as time for discussion, talks on the themes of meditation in nature, talking circles and opportunities for one to one work with the Mark Coleman. There will also be free time to swim, snorkel and enjoy this beautiful setting.

Optional extra day excursion on the 8th to visit the gray whales on the Pacific coast ( $225 includes hotel, and all travel fees, and food etc)
