experience is designed to offer you exquisite accommodations which have

leader, Aimee Roberson, brings to this environment the ability to
experience a renewed inner peace and a deepened clarity. We will
arrive to Taos, on a Full Moon, bringing extraordinary beauty to our
evening sky, but will also surround us with an energy of abundance, or the
energy of the harvest. This Corn Moon is also the signal for a
change of seasons. To open ourselves to abundance, and prepare for
the seasons to change, we retreat on a four night quest of learning and
restoring. Aimee's classes are simple enough for beginners,
but deep and profound enough, that the inner intensity peels open layers
of mind, and of being. Her teachings will stay with you for a lifetime. This
opportunity to retreat and rejuvenate with Aimee, while in the
environment that only El Monte Sagrado can offer, is a reward that only a
few will be able to appreciate. Retreat limited to only 15

Mt.
Kilimanjaro Charity Climb: A Journey of Inspiration for Hope
Lodge and the American Cancer Society: February 13- March 1,
2009: Visualize a stream of people... whose lives
have been affected by cancer, joining from all four directions
on the highest point of Mt. Kilimanjaro at sunrise. They
will be here to celebrate the struggles, the courage of
spirit, and the sharing of community. They are here to
spread hope to the world. They cannot make this climb
alone, nor can we live on this planet isolated in our own
countries. The sharing of the climb with the Africans
that assist us, the community at home supporting the climbers,
and the climbers themselves step out of Africa for at least a
brief period to demonstrate what is possible in a world
community. A dramatic and highly emotional event such as
this is just one component of this project. Outdoor
adventurers and community groups are another. This project is
about world wide communities, healthy lives, connection,
beauty, hope and celebration.
8-day climb, 5-day safari: Land pricing from $4315
per person, plus fundraise $2500 for Hope Lodge. Total
trip land cost: $6815 per person, double or solo.

DOMINICA:
Eco-Adventure: Year Round: Your Personal Green
Adventure Vacation for 2009-2010: The perfect atmosphere for adventure and
relaxation, the tranquil rainforest surroundings, rustic ambiance,
healthful meals and wellness activities create the perfect backdrop
for an unforgettable vacation or retreat experience.
This paradise was built and is operated in alignment with
international sustainable tourism guidelines, and the extraordinary
eco-resort represents the “alternative” Caribbean. Instead of
large hotel chains offering sun and sand holidays, the focus here is
on enjoyable nature-based activities and wellness of guests with
quality service, guided by the principles as set by The International
Ecotourism Society.
The
island's big attractions are readily accessible to guests, especially
those who want to spend their time hiking, diving, ocean kayaking and
mountain biking rather than sunbathing.
Due to the expansive size of the property and on-site
activities, we recommend guests to be in good shape. Daily yoga
classes in a sun-filled room are hearty sessions.
7 Night Inclusive Land Adventures Packages from $1533 per person
based on double occupancy. Dive Packages, Yoga, and Spa Programs also available.
