Unlock the Ancient Wisdom within you!

With no hurry and no worries, Sea Turtle Spirit moves at her own personal cosmic pace. She lives in the moment, trusting she is exactly where she is meant to be. This is a powerful lesson for us humans who rush about at unhealthy speeds, often missing the magic and beauty of the moment, in the here and now. As we spend time with her on the islands we have the opportunity to reset our internal clocks, release the pressure and recalibrate to the true vibration of our spirit.

Sea Turtle carries all she needs with her ‘home’ on her back. In this, Sea Turtle teaches us that our earthly body is our home – and most importantly – that all we need to thrive in this life is already inside of us. By working with her gentle patient spirit she helps us to open to reveal the mastery that we hold within our own soul from lifetimes of experiences and unlocks the archetypes and light codes we already hold inside!

Sea Turtle glides effortlessly through the water, it matters not the weather, from the stillest of waters to the roughest of seas. She shares with us her incredible focused and centered mind to help us to navigate the seas of our own complex emotions. We chose to incarnate here on this planet in the most tumultuous of times, with the chaos of our world and our disconnectedness from nature and all that would support our spirit, making life feel like an out of control roller coaster.

Water holds the blueprint of life. The seas are where life began. Water holds the energetic imprints of all that it has ever touched and the memory of every moment of the stories of our human and planetary evolution. A single drop of water holds within itself all of the potential of our future, without water there is no life. Even our own bodies are percent water. Grandmother Sea Turtle unlocks the doors to all the ancient wisdom of the water and knows every moment of evolution holds the secret to our healing. All of this wisdom is already inside of us in every drop of water that is inside our bodies.

Sea Turtles are integral to creation stories and folklore around the world. She swims through the waters of creation and the supports the entire earth on her back. “Hanau ka po ia honu kua nanaka” is a Hawaiian creation chant which when translated means, “From the darkness of time came the sea turtle with its plated back”. Many traditions speak of how Sea Turtle come from time before the Earth or the primordial void. She is the guardian or keeper of the creation of life.

By connecting with the majestic Sea Turtle we unlock the ancient wisdom of the Earth within us and we remember the journey of our soul.

Tiano Petroglyphs

Within the deep interior of the Reef Bay valley rests one of St. John’s most important clues to a lost culture from the island’s past, the petroglyphs. This captivating place is located at the base of the valley’s highest waterfall, surrounded by the island’s lush tropical vegetation. Here, mysterious faces are found carved into the fall’s blue basalt rock.

A spring fed pool beneath reflects a 20-foot wide panorama of carvings year-round with other petroglyphs visible nearby. For those who may be unfamiliar with the term petroglyph, the term petroglyph refers to rock art carvings whereas pictographs are rock art paintings. The petroglyphs are rock carvings made by a pre-Columbian people, known as the Taino, as early as 500 AD.

These petroglyphs are direct portals to the past, the ancestors, the supernatural, and to the ancient spirits of the Earth. By connecting in sacred ceremony to these petroglyphs we will open the doorways to ancient wisdom. This treasure trove of information is unlocked in our consciousness as a burst of light that provides insight into the intricacies of the soul. Revealing more of our true nature and the vastness of our soul.

The Islands are calling you!

The Wisdom of the Soul Retreat is an intimate spiritual destination retreat in which every part of your experience is meant to open, awaken, and delight your soul. This retreat has been curated to move you through all the layers of spiritual growth required to facilitate a deeper connection with the self. This retreat is not intended to be a travel bucket list type of experience, rather a trusting of the inner soul guidance found in your heart and following it in an exploration of one of the most beautiful locales of our world. Every foray out into the islands have been crafted to enhance and cultivate a deeper integration of your learning.

Why US Virgin Islands?

The rich culture and storied history, pristine beaches, turquoise waters, natural diversity and smiling, friendly people all play a role in the magic that awaits us on this island adventure. Seven different nations have flown their flags over these shores, each leaving their legacy behind – from the native Ciboney, Caribs, Taino and Arawak people to Africans, Europeans and Americans. From pirate lookouts to plantations, the U.S. Virgin Islands are dotted with reminders of its colorful past. 

A 100 years ago the Danish West Indies shifted to become the Virgin Islands of the United States (USVI), consisting of three main islands of St Thomas, St John, and St Croix, and 50 other small islands and cays. Only a three hour flight takes us to the most beautiful beaches in the world.

With both marine and land-based wildlife reserves, there are plenty of spots to immerse yourself in nature. The best spot to see wildlilife is the Virgin Islands National Park on St. John, where there's over 11,500 acres (that is 2/3 of the entire island) of pristine and protected land. The islands remain home to a surprisingly large and diverse population of wildlife. You'll find iguanas, mongoose, butterflies and bats, as well as over 144 species of birds. The waters around the Virgin Islands are home to an abundance of corals, fish, sharks, dolphins, turtles, crustaceans and a multitude of other marine life. As we travel to each of our carefully chosen destinations, our soul is awakened through the magnificence of this land and its incredible underwater world.

By choosing to add the 5 mile Reef Bay trail on St John to your itinerary, you can take in views of the whole island. You'll trek through a spectacular island forest, past abandoned sugar plantations, ancient petroglyphs, and the tallest waterfall on the island to a picture postcard beach empty except for the odd iguana or two. Not up for a long hike? No worries this hike is optional and we have a day of restoration and relaxation planned for those that choose to for go the island hiking adventure.

The main reason people come to the Virgin Islands is, of course, for the beaches! Sugar white sand, lapped by turquoise waters and bathed with year-round sunshine, they are among the most glorious in the world. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean belong to St. Thomas. Magens Bay, one of our retreat destinations, is consistently rated as one of the “best beaches” in the Caribbean. Not only is this a must see beach paradise, it is where we are most likely to have a Sea Turtle experience! And did we say the sunsets here are just amazing???

We have an epic adventure planned for you in the USVI!

Wisdom of the Soul Retreat Itinerary

Most of the most magical moments on retreats are the unscheduled and spontaneous gifts directly from spirit. Thus we will not be providing a detailed or day to day itinerary of the retreat in advance. We will have a balance of time for quiet solitude for reflection and renewal and time for laughter, inspiration, creativity and fun!

Meal times will often vary due to the natural evolution of each day but we promise you will never go hungry!

What our days will look like:

• Learning tools and techniques to open to your own inner wisdom

• Participation in various forms of group and individual healing (meditation, shamanic journey, sacred ceremony, and more)

• Deep conversation, connection, and intuition play with like minded souls

• Opportunities for some alone leisure time for journaling, meditation or rest

• Experience the sights and magic of the islands (maybe even some unbelievable wildlife encounters)

• Connect with the ancestors and nature spirits to reveal the mysteries of ancient wisdom

• And of course frequent visits to the magnificent beaches of St John and St Thomas for swimming, relaxing, and healing

Warning: This island adventure may cause extreme relaxation and a severe case of ‘I don’t wanna leave’ syndrome.
