This is a special invitation for all dedicated and hear-centered neighbors, colleagues, and friends! I want to share something genuinely special with you—an invitation to embark on a soul-nourishing journey to the country of Puerto Vallarta.
Not sure where Puerto Vallarta is? It is a magical destination situated on the western coast of Mexico on the Pacific Ocean in the state of Jalisco, just south of San Blas and approximately 185 miles west of the state capital, Guadalajara. In fact, it is on the same latitude as Hawaii!
To coin an expression from another retreat planner, Sheri Rosenthal described the benefits of taking time for self. “Now, imagine taking a precious pause from your busy life, where you can unplug, clear your mind, and deeply replenish your spirit. Here you can reconnect with your inner compass and return home with a rekindled passion for all the beautiful things you are creating in your life and professional career.”
When you step into the country of Puerto Vallarta, you are welcomed into a world of friendliness and a place of serenity unfolds before you. Close your eyes, and envision yourself enveloped on the coast between the Sierra Madre Mountains and the golden sandy beaches and clear waters of the Pacific Ocean. Vallarta, as the destination is affectionally called, “was once just a small fishing village on Banderas Bay called Las Peñas, only claiming its city status in 1968. Hollywood actors, lovebirds and legends Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton launched Puerto Vallarta into the limelight in the 1960’s while Burton was filming in Mismaloya for John Huston’s movie adaptation of the “sunshine and atmosphere instantly wash away your stress and weariness. In this nurturing environment, you will find solace and renewal, allowing your soul to breathe and your spirit to soar.”
This journey is an opportunity for personal growth and self-reflection. Here you can immerse yourself in a new culture. Puerto Vallarta's deep heritage will gesture you with open hands and smiles. Here, you will encounter engage in something special in addition to the immediate surroundings, is the burgeoning arts community, mouthwatering foods, intriguing history, and a place where you will find peace and quiet that stimulate the depths of your being.
We will face the essence of the pleasant atmosphere to permeate our souls, reminding us to embrace mindfulness, compassion, and inner peace in every aspect of our life experiencing journey. Come take a journey and explore tons of adventures, churches, cafes, art galleries, bars, restaurants, to sipping a margarita in a lively restaurant or bar whilst watching the sun go down while perched in a chair on the beach or the hotel’s infinity pool.
In Puerto Vallarta, you will discover a society that treasures the true measure of happiness through their way of lifestyle – calm and welcoming. We will learn how this beautiful ethos aligns perfectly with our values, emphasizing the significance of well-being and joy in our lives with an emphasis on the arts and culture. With a little input from other destination tourist gurus, “Puerto Vallarta's innate quiet and stunning nature offers a respite from the constant digital chatter we all experience, allowing you to BE in the present moment and experience what is profoundly important in life. It is in this sweet surrender to stillness that you will rediscover your inner fire, nourishing each moment with serenity, introspection, and reconnection.” And new influences that make life enjoyable, arts and culture and food!
As a fellow heart-centered individual, I assure you that this destination is a place that understands the yearning within you for soulful restoration, desire to explore, and the willingness to create a life that are deeply aligned with your purpose. Puerto Vallarta awaits you with open arms, ready to nurture your spirit, ignite your passion, and guide you back home with a heart overflowing with love and inspiration.
