LUX World Travel, in concert with Jungle Bay Resort, has prepared a unique program for women of like-mind to gather for an eco-adventure and meditation vacation.  This woman's adventure and meditation retreat brings daily adventure, on a  Caribbean Island hardly touched by commercialism.  Your adventure tours include private guides and instructors for daily yoga and all outdoor activities, healthy gourmet meals, personalized cooking classes, beach snorkeling and picnic trips, spa treatments and wellness meditations.  

 

As active women traveling together who enjoy the outdoors, in our own communion with Nature...this trip has purposely been scheduled to start in the close enough to the new year, but in winter's midst so we notice our pace, what brought us here, and spend our evenings clearing our mind to open up in meditations which in the end will enable us to connect more intently with our desires, our blocks, and how to peacefully bring ourselves to meeting our goals and dreams with grace.  Our beautiful, raw, Caribbean environment is home to our host resort,  Jungle Bay, which rises from a seaside cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, and the resort comprises 35 rustic luxury cottages suspended on wooden posts amidst the tropical forest, each with a private outdoor shower and the sound of ocean surf. 

 

Our environment here is set in the Caribbean of ages ago.  Land.  Ocean.  Sky.  Consciousness.  Simple living and luxurious giving if you wish to participate in the optional volunteer activities which will in turn give back to the community of women on the island. This retreat brings adventure, relaxation, joy and giving...a mindful way to set your personal compass for the new year.

 

This is our second Women's Meditation Retreat with Dr. Susan Schliff, and we are honored to have her lead this adventure for us.

 

 

 

 

Proceeds of $100 per traveler will go directly to the building of a women's shelter on the island.  This project is a new development by resort owner, Samuel Raphael, who just completed the House of Hope, which is a facility for indigent children with severe disabilities from Dominica's southeast.  For more information go to: http://www.junglebaydominica.com/houseofhope.cfm

 

AIR ITINERARY / LAND OPTIONS: The best flight arrangements for getting to Dominica are from NYC and San Juan.  In some cases, the flight itineraries require a forced overnight for some. We can pro-rate this retreat to accommodate you for only 5 or 6 nights if your flight arrangements require you to take a pre or post night in NYC or San Juan.

 

Cottages are perched like birds nests, tucked away on a tree-filled hillside. A spring fed stream cascades along the valley below. Special care was taken to preserve the forest in its original form. The low impact night lighting along with the sound of the Atlantic surf creates a  surreal and magical ambiance.

 

 

 

All have balconies and views of either the water or the rain forest and are made out of local tropical hardwoods and volcanic stone. You and nature are in communion, as this resort made the National Geographic 2009 “Stay List.”
