Description |
|
|
Ladies, join us for a truly touching
spiritual journey of the heart to the Caribbean Island of Bimini for an intimate
experience with the wild spotted dolphins. During our time with the dolphins you
will have the opportunity to open your heart and practice unconditional love and
acceptance, for these marvelous creatures and for yourself. As spiritual
seekers, we know we create our reality with what we think and project, and here
we can put that into practice with our connection with these beautiful mammals.
 Although they do not speak our language, they certainly respond to the emotional
quality we put out and the judgment or lack of judgment we have in our minds.
Since these are wild dolphins, they make the choice to come and join us and the
energy that we as a group create will be reflected in the dream we create with
them.
During this week we will look at all the self-judgments and other limiting
thought patterns that are preventing us from becoming the true manifestation of
Spirit that we really are! This is a very profound and heartfelt trip – meant to
allow you to experience your divinity and creative spirit in a safe and loving
atmosphere. There will be plenty of time for swimming with the dolphins,
snorkeling the reefs, meditating, group discussion, walking, journaling, biking,
shopping, resting, and sharing.

Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 – Sat, May 19:
Arrive Ft. Lauderdale from your home city. Overnight with group at
the Best Western Ft. Lauderdale Oceanside Hotel with a gathering in the evening
to meet and greet each other.
Day 2 – Sun, May 20:
Meet the group at the Ft Lauderdale Airport for our morning flight to Bimini
(approximately 10:00am). Most of us will have arrived in Ft Lauderdale the day
before and will stay overnight at a hotel by the airport. Arrive at the lovely
Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina for lunch and our first group gathering.
Then we will don our suits for our first day on the boat and experience with the
dolphins.
Day 3-6 –
Mon-Thu, May 21-24 (B): We spend the next four days exploring
ourselves in the mornings and playing off our boat in the afternoon with the
dolphins and snorkeling. Our time with these wild dolphins is a gift from them
and will evolve as they wish. This is an ecologically sensitive program that
allows us to observe, interact with, and swim with these beautiful beings. The
photo and video opportunities are absolutely outstanding. Our dolphin excursions
take place each afternoon aboard a dive vessel. These trips can be anywhere from
3 to 4 hours in length. It takes approximately one hour to reach the "dolphin
grounds." Sometimes the pod (dolphin family) comes to the boat in as little as
30 minutes; on other days it takes 3 hours.
There will be time to explore the island and eat in some of the other charming
restaurants on the island. There are wrecks as shallow as 20 feet and as deep as
100 feet. Drift dives range from 50 to 130 feet. No trip to Bimini would be
complete without snorkeling over the “Mysterious Bimini Road”! A quarter-mile
off Paradise Point lays an ancient, underwater road of stones that has baffled
natives, mystics and scientists for generations. Some call it the Bimini Road or
the Atlantis Wall and believe it may lead to the lost continent of Atlantis. It
is quite a mystical experience and many say they can feel the energy that
emanates from these huge underwater stones. The famed Bimini Wall, less than a
quarter mile offshore, drops from 145 feet to over 3,000 feet in only a few
yards.
The actual schedule of spiritual teachings and what we will be doing day to day
is not absolute. This is because we teach by channeling spirit, which comes in
the moment. Every day will be a magical experience for all of us, teachers
included! Keep you heart and mind open to the experience life brings us.
Day 7 – Fri, May 25
(B): We leave Bimini around 10:00am for our flight to Ft
Lauderdale and our connecting flights home renewed and with a change of heart.
New friends have been made and old friendships made stronger. We look forward to
the challenge of bringing our clarity, peace and centeredness home with us!
