To transform your life…you simply…choose 
And when you make this powerful choice, new possibilities show up for you.  Of those doorways that open, which one would be pleasing and interesting (and fun!) to walk through? What did you choose for yourself as you saw 2012 in the horizon?

One of the first things that came to me this year was the opportunity to co-facilitate a retreat in one of my favorite countries — beautiful Brazil.  This amazing trip was the vision of personal trainer Kendra Gail Beelen (KGB), who teamed up with wellness vacation experts The Island Experience (TIE).  I will be leading the yoga and energy healing segments.  Our hospitality and gifts will collectively enhance the magic that already is Brazil.  Our team effort will be sure to rock your world: the breathtaking island + resort, the delicious meals for nutritional detox, the body alignment + conditioning, the mental cleansing, the vortex of good vibes that will have us be inspired/in spirit.  

This is my way of celebrating 2012 — my steps towards living a pure carefree life. I invite you to join me during this adventure… or take on creating your very own this year.
Here’s to The Pure Life!
from the heart,
mei-yann

“I came to the retreat in Tulum to get my body mind and spirit ready for a 3 day adventure climbing  Mt.Victoria. I used my breathwork and all the great energy I came back to  Belize with — it got me to the top — and  now i am ready for the next one.  It looks like I will be  going non-stop the next 30 years!  Thank you God and people like you.  Love & Peace, Eldon”

“The Nuture of Nature Retreat has been the vacation I’ve been waiting for myself for over 5 years. It was exactly what I had always wanted my tropical getaway to be. A time of reflection, meditation and rejuvination in the water, sun and sand.” – Michelle Bicking, personal trainer,  April 2011 retreat attendee

THE PURE LIFE…A VIDA PURA

This year may or may not come to a doomsday end.  If 2012 must be made “signficant,”then this is the year I choose to destroy what no longer feels fun and what no longer works for me. This is it! To me, “pure” is not defined as morality. Really, who is to judge what is good or bad or right or wrong?  As I feel into this thing called “pure,” I feel a sense of simplicity…cutting the fat of what we allow in our lives. I feel a strong desire to seek out the essence of everything I come across! I crave pure food, pure water, pure hearts, pure expression.  Pure is not about distilling to bland nothingness. Pure feels enriching, easy, and full of Joy — like no longer doing things by myself the hard way. Like I might actually have a whole community – a whole tribe – that supports me.  Pure feels delicious! So this year 2012…it’s all about The Pure Life.
