Winter Beach Retreat

Open the FLOW

Creativity, Sexuality and Spirituality: Essentials for the Juicy, Alive Woman

February 17-20, 2012 | Cape San Blas, Florida

Feeling a little run-down, uninspired, like you’re missing something?  Wishing you were more ALIVE, more IN TOUCH, more ECSTATIC about your life?  Well, it all starts with YOU!

Come cultivate the joy of your creative connection with your spirit!

Enjoy 4 blissful days at “America’s #1 Beach” in a beautiful gulf front home on Cape San Blas, Florida, where we will remind you that creativity and sexuality in your daily life is a clear expression of your Spirit.  If those things are missing from your life, it means that you are missing out on some serious JOY!

BUT, you might ask, are sex and creativity really SPIRITUAL?  You BET!  What else is the animating life force that flows through all creation?  Licia and Terresa are unapologetically devoted to spirituality IN the physical body, which means lots of FUN in addition to the quiet contemplation most associate with “being spiritual”.  Spirit, mind, emotion and body and soul…We’re not shy, we claim it ALL.

Fill your inner cup with the quiet of the waves in the morning and the practice of self reflection; listening to our inner voice is a must to remember how to take care of ourselves.  Be engaged in the creative and enlivening activities designed to help you reclaim your 2nd chakra, your belly, your wisdom, your playfulness, your woman-ness!  Enjoy the company of other fun women seeking to be ALIVE!

We will:

listen

learn

laugh

share

dance

journal

walk the labyrinth

create collages and special jewelry

soak in the quiet of the beach at winter

eat, drink and be merry

be in The FLOW

Come remember how to PLAY, how to be FREE with your creativity and to LOVE your sexuality!

Expressing spirit through the body is what we came to do!

Only $699!  Includes all 4 days/3 nights accomodations: double occupancy lodging, all meals and materials, as well as expert facilitation from your retreat co-leaders!  HURRY, this retreat is limited to 8 lucky ladies!  Registration must be paid in full by February 1, 2012.

Autumn Southwest Retreat & Spa

Heaven on Earth in the Desert

Embodied Spirituality for the Divine Human

October 19-23, 2012 | Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu & Ojo Caliente, New Mexico

Ghost Ranch, Chimney in the CloudsRest, Reflection, Renewal, Rebirth!

Feeling that your cup is empty?  Need to drink of the still waters of Spirit to refill again?

A refreshing, unique retreat with co-leaders Licia Berry and Teresa Husband, this retreat in the enchanting northern New Mexico desert will refill your love of human life.

This retreat marries feminine and masculine spirituality, sacred union at last!

Spirituality doesn’t mean you must abandon reason, laughter, your body, your community, the earth, or your common sense.  Spirituality is in ALL things, and if we embrace all of our aspects of being, we ARE being “spiritual”.

Tired of what you’ve learned about spirituality?  Ready for an approach that doesn’t make you want to throw your self-help books across the room and run for the hills?

We’ve been out of balance in our understanding about spirituality.  With the salvationist philosophies that teach us there is something wrong with us and that we must suffer through earthly life until we get to our reward, we have forgotten how to enjoy our bodies, the simple things, and this miracle called life.

It is high time that we embrace feminine AND masculine spirituality, bringing the polar ends of the spectrum together into one unified way of being.  Physical life is a gift, and all aspects of existence on earth are conduits for Spirit to flow through. We experience Spirit in every breath, thought, sensation, and relationship.  Physical life is to be savored.

Physical+Emotional+Mental+Spiritual= Whole Being.   And that’s how we were meant to live.

This fabulous retreat is co-facilitated by experienced spiritual seekers/finders, putting Spirit into physical action for 25 years.  Licia Berry and Teresa Husband have lived what they teach, having intimate knowledge and experience in balancing and expressing all the aspects of being a “Divine Human”.  Both are grateful to have the opportunity to share how to enjoy physical life as a spiritual being.  Learn more about Licia at her website www.liciaberry.com and Teresa at teresahusband.com.

The retreat will be touching on all aspects of our Being…physical, emotional, mental and spiritual…and will include listening, sharing, interacting, creative activities, walking the labyrinths, hiking the pink canyons, appreciating the wildlife, drinking in the remarkable energy of northern New Mexico, campfires, laughter, and restoring your delight in your humanity.

Testimonials

“I had a great awakening at your collage retreat! It was thrilling to feel my spirit-consciousness guiding my mind and my hand to the images for my collage. I could feel my heart pounding faster and faster as my hands flipped page after page of each magazine. When the collage was finished I felt that instead of peeping through the keyhole of the door I’d been staring at for so long, I’d actually opened the door and taken a step over the threshold. I feel like I came home to myself, and I am happy to find that I’m still “juicy” and exciting!!”

-Cindy Sbrissa, Mosaic Artist, http://sites.google.com/site/mysticmosaics

“The day couldn’t have been more perfect for turning inward. Even still the connections with and feedback from the other women was beautiful. I was able to label and give form to some nebulous memories and concepts that were previously just out of reach. I could feel them just beneath the surface but with your guidance, my collage brought them forward clearly so I could begin to heal and implement them.

I love that I was prodded to trust my intuition; confirmation that I’m totally on the “right” track; the points in my history where I can see the various aspects (of my life) at work, the connections and how their intricacies play out in my life; and most of all how to bring it all into focus and actualize it. And I absolutely *love* my finished product!

Thanks again for an incredible experience!”

-Angela Ivy, www.angelaivy.com

“I very much admire and respect you for your connection to Spirit, for your intelligence, compassion, playfulness, vulnerability, the experiences you’ve had. You are an amazing Wise Woman, Licia. You set a fabulous example of a leader, teacher, mother, wife, while still being human! Thank you! I’m always on the look-out for people who set an example of how I may want to be as a leader/teacher and you are one of them. You carry such immense wisdom and wonderful gifts, yet you don’t set yourself apart from others. I so appreciate that.”

-Lisa Dieken, http://www.WildCreativeHeart.com , after attending several teleclasses

“I have been to many “treasure mapping, vision board” workshops for years and I feel what you offered was clear, simple, unique, well presented, and very different. I feel the context that you set was your own unique brand and that is valuable. I have already made 2 more boards and still working on more. You provided something that we can use for a lifetime.”

“Licia Berry is a kind and articulate facilitator who sets the stage for our own process and is supportive of our vision quest.”

“I would say that Licia is “Love personified” that she is the least judgmental person I have ever met, and that those qualities flow into her work with others.”

“I want to thank you Licia for allowing us to feel safe and secure. It was a GREAT experience for me. I loved that you allowed all of us to work without interruption. The group exercises in the beginning really helped me come into the center and open myself to the process. I can honestly say that this was one of the BEST experiences I have had and I am glad that I allowed this event to enter into my life.”

“Lica is a great facilitator!!! She offers you a safe and secure place to enter in the process of collaging. There was no feeling of judgment just a feeling of BEING…..I Loved the entire experience and would recommend this to anyone who is interested in self exploration.”

“I just want to thank you so much for the beautiful retreat yesterday! I was able to really get in touch with some deep areas of hurt and uncover another layer for access to healing. I think my day to day life is so busy that I am surprised when I slow down enough to tune in and find something new in myself I was unaware of or out of touch with. I got such CLEAR guidance both before, during, and after the retreat that is WOWing me! It was such an affirmation of my intuitive gifts. I took some time today to reach inward and hold that teenage girl part of me and it was very healing. I know there is more work to do and I feel supported to do so.”

-Liza B.

“I liked the time to reflect and the chance to be in a group of women…I liked witnessing other’s tender emotions. I like being heard expressing mine. I liked being reminded of how important it is to spend time loving myself, figuring out what that means and how. Licia is wise, kind, helpful, loving, insightful, present.”

-Anne Hempel, Artist, www.annehempel.com

“What I loved about “Faces of Her” teleclass was that it gave me a whole new understanding of the divine feminine and how she resides in me. The material and delivery of it had breadth and depth, and was very heart opening. It felt like a safe, supportive atmosphere to relax into and share what was most true for me.

I highly recommend “Faces of Her” teleclass for women who are ready to explore how strong and amazing they really are. It’s a heart centered yet pragmatic course that helps you activate the ancient wisdom held lovingly and safely in your own body. I have nothing for praise about Licia Berry. She facilitated such important and necessary info with grace, beauty, and ease.”

“I really admire your sense of professionalism. Your e-mails, PDFs, collages, and classes are heartfelt and beautiful, but also sophisticated, polished, and well organized.”

“I trust her work. Licia is a very genuine person and that is important to me.”
