The weeks events will include:
Breakfast and Lunch Round Table Discussions, Crafts, Massages, Clay therapy Aromatherapy, Water Aerobics, Belly Dancing, Salsa, Yoga, Diving, Snorkeling and much more...
If you have something you would like to lead or present please contact us right away to get on the schedule.
We ask that all presenters also attend activities or workshops, which will require purchasing at least a Modified Ticket Package. We encourage participants to bring something to share, whether it be leading an activity, workshop or simply some tips and wisdom, it may be as simple as how to take a better sunrise picture, or leading a round table discussion. The idea is that everyone has something to give to and receive from the group.
We have added 2 nights at La Selva Mariposa Bed and Breakfast, on the Coba Road, for those who want to extend the trip AND for locals who want to indulge themselves in a short get away, locals can attend these workshops without spending the night, but we suggest you stay. There are limited rooms so be sure to sign up soon if you want to do this portion of the retreat.

This will be an interesting assignment, and later you can wander around and see if you can find what others had discovered. This will be facilitated by Mari Pintkowski, owner of Selva Mariposa.
