The Joy of Being Alive

October 17 – October 21 2018 (4 Nights)

4 DAY RUSTIC JOY OF BEING ALIVE – WILD DOLPHIN RETREAT
There comes a moment when you realise that it’s time to put the worry and stress down, to stop the relentless drive for more, if only temporarily, and to give yourself exactly what your heart, body and soul so desperately needs and deserves. This is that time. The ‘Joy of Being Alive’ Wild Dolphin Retreat is a call for you to deeply connect to yourself, to others and to Mother Nature. It is a call to honour the sacredness of life – your life, as you connect, heal your heart and soul, and rejuvenate by being playful and spontaneous, joyful and whole.

This is a call to experience the flow and celebration of being truly alive in a magical and sacred space, surrounded by beautiful beings, communing with nature at its most pristine and profound wonder.

Will you answer the call? Will you give you, back to yourself?

The SOAR Institute and Halo Gaia are excited to invite you to an experience of a lifetime where we celebrate the Joy of Being Alive for 4 nights and 5 sumptuous days of sun, surf and sand in picturesque Ponta Malongane, Southern Mozambique.

Discovering the art of accessing a “flow “ state naturally
Meeting the Wild dolphins of Southern Mozambique
Djembe drumming
Learning wisdom circles
Indigenous and Shamanic Sound journey
A deep immersion into the untouched natural beauty of the area

Self-praise has never been a worthwhile recommendation. I’m much more interested in who someone is and who they’re becoming than in who they’ve been. Most bio’s will only mention the standard positive qualities, and while I may have those, we all do. I also possess many annoying, self- defeating tendencies too, as I’m sure we all do. To not own up to them is disingenuous and announces a basic lack of awareness of what makes us human. So there you have it, I’m an integrated human being, always reaching, always learning, always expanding and always becoming more. I’m not the same person I was yesterday, nor would I ever want to be. I’m not going to be the same person tomorrow, because I cherish growth and man’s evolutionary imperative. This is the epitome of freedom, to become exactly what or who is needed to bring about the desired result. In all of this, I discover my own limitlessness, the essence of who I am, and so become eminently qualified to assist others to do the same. Let’s connect, lets together drop the facade and reveal our authentic selves, and together become inspired to produce a better version of ourselves.

Thank you for a truly magic dolphin gathering weekend. It has had a profound effect on my life and my relationships with those around me. A shift has happened as I find people I don’t know very well stopping to talk and share. I also find i am able to talk to and accept others with far more compassion and the cherry on the top – my paintings have started selling again!

What a blessing it is to meet up with such wonderful human angels that inspire and uplift us with such positive vibrations and warm feelings. It was such a privilege to be a part of all that feminine energy and the dolphins and whales were a bonus.

Les

Thank you for the opportunity to appreciate the simple things, for the realisation that I need not fear change if it means making your dreams come true, for allowing me to share in this wonderful, indescribable journey with people that have touched my heart forever.
