Soul Wisdom Treasure Quest

A Personal Coaching Retreat in El Valle de Anton, Panama

Inspired By nature

El Valle de Anton is one of only two inhabited volcanic craters on the planet. There is energy here to be alchemized into your transformational process.

The crater valley offers you a safe haven to tune out distractions of your busy modern world and connect with the vibrations of your soul and heart; deep resonant tones that get muffled by the high frequency of busy lives.

Here, you are away from your environment of the routine. Here, I encourage you to do a media fast as you prepare for our work together. Here, you can refresh your body in cool water, your mind with new thoughts and your spirit with love, healing and understanding.

It’s a place that provides the perfect environment for me to help guide you inward to listen to your wise inner self.

Our Work together

Our work together may take us on a hike in the mountains or through watercress fields. We may trek down to one of the local waterfalls or walk along the Las Mozas River.

Definitely plan on spending time in my garden where we will delight in the fragrant flowers, vibrant colors and watch the birds feed on the fruit offerings I leave for them.

Connecting with nature is a direct line of communication with our soul self, the wise inner being who often gets drowned out by the mechanisms of our ego, archetypes and the busy parts of ourselves who don’t often allow the ethereal divine self to speak up.

And so the soul shrinks back and hides beneath all the noise.

With encouragement and the right environment, the soul speaks to us. But not in a language that we are used to. But in imagery, emotions, totems, rituals and creative expression.

The jungle land here in El Valle, and much of Panama, was inhabited by the Guaymi Indians, now known as the Ngäbe-Buglé. Petroglyphs dating back 8,000 years ago are etched into the rocksides on the trail toward India Dormida.

This land has been imprinted with indigenous wisdom, volcanic energy and the Panamanian spirit.

This spirited life can show up as fireworks for any occasion, music and parties, the fishmonger and metal collector announcing their arrival in the neighborhood and the ubiquitous barking dogs.

And I believe this is a perfect example of what we must tune out as we go within to seek connection with ourselves, or the lost parts of self.

When we’re on a spiritual discovery or healing journey we must turn down the external noise and frenetic frequencies; our fearful thoughts, advice from friends, social media, podcasts, news, work, texts and the stories we tell ourselves.

The soul has been with us before our physical bodies were even born. The soul vibrates at a different frequency than most modern creations. And that is what being here in El Valle can give you; the environment to connect with your soul while in an amazing tropical oasis.

how to prepare for your experience

It’s best to disconnect from media and many of the high vibration frequencies we are commonly engaged in. You want to quiet your mind as a gentle invitation to your soul to come forth with vital information for your personal quest.

Refrain from alcohol and other substances you may use for comfort, stress or sleep management.

where you’ll stay

My home, and the casita, is located in the area of Cana Blanca in El Valle de Anton. The trailhead for Cerro Caraiguana is walking distance from the property.

You will stay in a fully furnished one bedroom casita with a kitchenette and private hammock patio.

The casita has a queen sized bed, comfortable sheets and fluffy comforter. There is hot water in the bathroom and kitchen. The ceiling of the casita is insulated which keeps the heat at bay and somewhat minimizes the noise from rain.

El Valle de Anton is 2.5 hours from Panama City. The town is accessible by several mountain roads from the areas of Las Uvas (closest to Coronado) and Penonome if you’re coming from Santiago.

itinerary

FIRST DAY: Arrive any day of the week between 10 am and noon.

Settle into the casita and unpack if you’d like to before going to the grocery store if you haven’t done so before your arrival.

We will have our first session together in the mid to late afternoon.

You’ll have some free time for integration or a nap in the hammock, a hike or walk or journaling and meditation. Your personal experience is guided by what speaks to you from within your intuitive self.

I will prepare dinner for us to share on that first evening and we will eat in the early evening.

By 8 pm or so, I turn in for the evening.

SECOND DAY: We will have a morning session which will then determine how the day might unfold.

Your spirit may be called to spend time in the garden or we may go on a hike or go swim at a waterfall. Your spirit is the guide and it’s my job to help you tune into the quiet voice of your soul, not the agenda in the mind.

However the day unfolds, we will be in session.

End to the day by 8 pm or so.

THIRD DAY: We will meet in the morning for a clarity and focus session. Again, the days unfolding will be determined by what your soul asks of you.

Your soul may want to create an art project, dig in the soil or jog around the town. The beautiful thing about such a personalized retreat is that the only agenda is for you to feel better than when you arrived. Whether that is healing, clarity, forgiveness, release, understanding or peace will be up to your soul self.

End to the day by 8 pm or so.

FOURTH DAY: We will meet in the morning for a review of your experience, discuss your insights and any questions you may have.

Leisurely pack and conclude our time together at noon.

Are you curious to learn more?

Let’s start with a general conversation so I have an idea of the areas in life where you’re looking for clarity.

If you and I decide to move forward, you’ll secure your reservation with a deposit and will then receive an insightful personal questionnaire. Give yourself time to answer the questions in as much detail as possible. I will gain a great amount of insight from these answers and will have this information to help me guide you toward the peace that you seek.

We will have two online sessions, preferably a week apart before your arrival to spend our time together in person.
