Rest your Mind Relax your Body Restore your Spirit I cannot begin to describe the thrill and delight of swimming with wild dolphins. Spending time with these intelligent, joyful, playful creatures reminds us how to relax into the moment, open up a new creative outlet and reconnect with a sense of joy and love that many of us have lost. Changing times and challenges in our world today can leave us feeling stressed and anxious about the future. Yes we are shifting into a new time and a new reality, and the transition process can be exhausting on all levels. The dolphins are wise and powerful teachers. As they swim close to us and make eye contact while scanning us with their sonar and bombarding us with their clicks, chirps and whistles, many people experience a profound sense of peace and healing. Being in the presence of dolphins will rest our mind, relax our body and restore our spirit. To spend time with these exquisite creatures in the wild is to set your spirit free! Experience the human dolphin connection in consciousness on this wild dolphin swim / mini-workshop wellness retreat. Our main facilitators will be the dolphins themselves as they open people’s hearts and connect us on a very deep level to our own divine essence. After the dolphins have worked their magic on us we'll share fun and enlightening group experiences and discussions, guided meditations to work with the dolphin energy and practice stress relieving techniques and exercises that can open a doorway to personal self-discovery that supports releasing fear and negativity. By the end of this wild dolphin swim and wellness retreat you will have given yourself the gift of..... Magical encounters with the Bimini Dolphins Time just for you to relax, play and have fun More clarity and focus to move beyond self-imposed limitations A renewed sense of well-being and positive possibilities for your life Easy techniques for stress relief and relaxation An amazing group of new human and dolphin friends! |
Wild Dolphin Swim Retreat Itinerary:
Day 1 Aug. 25, 2012 Sat.: Depart from your home city and arrive in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
You will need to make your own hotel reservations at the Days Inn Hotel for Sat.night, hotel contact
information will be provided. Depending on your arrival time you can
meet with the rest of the group and enjoy dinner together!
Day 2 Aug. 26 Sun. After an early breakfast we transfer to the airport for our flight to Bimini.
Those who live in Ft. Lauderdale will meet the group at the airport on Sunday morning but you
are also invited to join the group at the hotel for dinner Sat.night if you choose. Upon arrival we
transfer and check-in at the Seacrest Hotel and Marina, have lunch and our first group introduction and
gathering. We'll have a dolphin protocol orientation by our charter boat Captain, board our
chartered boat and prepare for our first encounter with the magical dolphins of Bimini.
Day 3-6 Aug. 27 - Aug. 30 Mon - Thursday We spend the next four days exploring
ourselves in the mornings and playing off our boat in the afternoon with the dolphins and
snorkeling. Our time with these wild dolphins is a gift from them and will evolve as they
wish. This is an ecologically sensitive program that allows us to observe, interact with, and
swim with these beautiful beings. The photo and video opportunities area absolutely
outstanding. Our dolphin excursions take place each afternoon and trips can be anywhere
from 3 to 4 hours in length. It takes approximately one hour to reach the dolphin grounds.
Please remember these are wild dolphins so encounters cannot be guaranteed. We are on the
dolphins time schedule, so when or if they come to play with us is their decision. One of the
powerful lessons they teach us is about letting go of control, relaxing and just being in the
moment. Encounters can be as short as 15 minutes or as long as an hour and you might have
multiple encounters in one afternoon. Those magical Bimini dolphins are full of surprises!
No trip to Bimini would be complete without snorkeling over Mysterious Bimini Road! A quarter-mile off Paradise Point
lays an ancient, underwater road of stones that has baffled natives, mystics and scientists for generations. Some call it
the Bimini Road or the Atlantis Wall and believe it may lead to the lost continent of Atlantis. It is quite a mystical experience
and many say they can feel the energy that emanates from these huge underwater stones.There will be time to explore the
island, relax on the beach and of course do some shopping! You may also choose from other optional island activities, bike
rentals or golf carts, mangrove tours, a visit to the Healing Hole or the Fountain of Youth. As we bring to a close a wonderful
week of fun, sun and sharing time with new flippered friends, human and dolphin, you'll leave Bimini feeling refreshed
and restored on all levels.
Day 6 Aug. 31 Friday After breakfast we leave for the Bimini airport for our flight back to Ft Lauderdale and
our connecting flights home. We leave with our spirits renewed and our hearts full of dolphin love. New and lasting
friendships have been made and you will find the dolphin energy and consciousness swimming in and out of your life
forever!They truly are the Angels of the Sea!
