Naomi Green is a certified Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Plant-Based Nutrition Educator who specializes in helping people adopt a whole food plant-based no oil way of eating to experience serious weight loss and measurable health results. She has been coaching private clients and running an insanely successful 12-Week Online Plant Power Weight Loss & Health Transformation group program and a free global online Facebook support group for those going vegan for health, since recovering from breast cancer treatment in 2014 and she credits both yoga and going vegan for all the reasons with her health, healing and her happiness.
David Mannino began his love affair with hiking and outdoor adventures as a boy scout in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Since then, his love for outdoor adventure has only grown culminating in a recent rim-to-rim hike through the Grand Canyon...and he's never going to stop walking! Since then, he has been exploring US National and State Park trails far and wide and now the jungles and mountains of Belize, always exploring veganism wherever he goes and leading those around him down the path as well!
FIRST, You will fly from your nearest INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT to Philip S. Goldson International Airport in Belize City, Belize.
Currently, Delta, United, American and Frontier Airlines fly both direct 1-stop flights from most international city airports in the US and non-stop flights from Orlando, Miami, Houston, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Denver. In addition, Frontier currently flies non stop from Orlando on Saturdays only and back to Orlando on Saturday as well so this is a great and affordable option if you are traveling from Florida. Check all airlines as flights and schedules are constantly changing!
NEXT, You will book a Round-trip puddle jumper on Maya Air or Tropic Air from Philip S. Goldson International Airport in Belize City to Placencia (our retreat center location) for around $200 which flies many times throughout the day. Choose the next closest flight time for an hour after/before your arrival to the airport. We will pick you up and drop you off at the airport in Placencia - 5 minutes from the retreat location!
We have built in several structured group relaxation experiences to include Gentle Stretching Sessions, Visualizing & Manifesting Meditations, Driftwood Spinner Art Project for rainy afternoon and a Releasing Fire Ceremony as well as plenty of unstructured time to schedule a massage (fee added), to walk the beach, lounge around, wander down the sidewalk around the village, take a nap or journal!
Check out some of the history of this ancient Mayan site mired in mystique! We will explore the entire site and we will also have a picnic lunch in the Butterfly Promenade section of these Ruins facing the rainforest!
