Why Michelle's inspired to invite you...

Global travel has been my catalyst for personal discovery and transformation.  I love immersing in down-to-earth cultures that can teach me about open-mindedness, humility, loving nature, the joy of simplicity, living from the heart and respect for diversity.  Ultimately, my adventures abroad have been teachers of conscious wholehearted living, which I continue to learn.

During my past visits to the Peruvian Amazon and Andes, the native Shipibo and Q'ero healers' daily practices of gratitude and reverence deeply impacted me, even years after.  To share in rituals in their homeland with humans who live so consciously connected to Mother Earth and ancient wisdom profoundly shifted my perspective and appreciation of daily life.

Through hosting this retreat in historically and culturally rich parts of Peru steeped in indigenous reverence for nature and humanity, I humbly hope to share ways to enhance your enjoyment of daily life and promote harmony with our planet, each other and yourself.
