Spiritual retreat to Jordan - the way of the heart
20 April to 2 May 2012

Jordan is a modern country with an ancient culture, a land of which visitors can walk through the valleys, hills and plains whose names have become part of human history by virtue of the simple deeds and profound messages of prophets who walked the land and crossed its rivers during their lives.  Many of the sites where they are said to have performed miracles or reached out to ordinary people have been identified, excavated and protected, and are now more easily accessible to visitors.

Jordan is an ideal destination for those seeking cultural knowledge and spiritual enrichment.  From the moment you arrive, you get a sense of its rich heritage; all around are remnants of ancient civilizations long since passed, yet they still remain, stamped into the very fabric of this amazing Kingdom and etched into the soul of the people who live here. This journey is designed to help find the deeper aspects of our heart chakras, an exploration of the different heart types and the use of our intuitive knowing to tap into our authentic reason for being. The inspiration behind this physical journey is to access the stillness in the body. 

In the stillness of my mind I find peace.

The leading attraction at the Dead Sea is the warm, soothing, super salty water itself. The unusually warm, incredibly buoyant and mineral-rich waters have attracted visitors since ancient times, including King Herod the Great and the beautiful Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra. All of whom have luxuriated in the Dead Sea’s rich, black, stimulating mud and floated effortlessly on their backs while soaking up the water's healthy minerals along with the gently diffused rays of the Jordanian sun.

In the stillness of my heart I find peace.

The journey is designed to take you through a physical experience of the different qualities of your sacred heart. Day by day we will learn through meditation, contemplation and some teaching about the opening of the sacred heart centre. Petra has been described as “a rose-red city, half as old as time” and it holds the energy of the Sacred Heart. Petra is one of the new 7 World Wonders, and is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.  The giant red mountains and vast mausoleums of a departed race have nothing in common with modern civilization, and ask nothing of it except to be appreciated at their true value - as one of the greatest wonders ever wrought by Nature and Man. Although much has been written about Petra, nothing really prepares you for this amazing place. It has to be seen to be believed.

I create silence in the mind and in the heart.

The theme of the journey is concentrated around the heart energy. Most of the places we will visit reflect the gentle, compassionate aspects of the goddess. Indigo-coloured deep water lies just off shore in Aqaba, bringing kaleidoscopic marine life within easy reach.  Greatly prized as Jordan's window to the sea, Aqaba brings a refreshing release from the rose-coloured desert to the north. Its sandy beaches and coral reefs are the most pristine on the Red Sea. Swim with the friendly sea turtles and wild dolphins or experience a day trip to Wadi Rum – answer the call of your heart!

Join us, Berto and Tamar, as we return to this magical landscape and explore this land, from the otherworldly landscape of the Dead Sea to Petra, the Rose City and place of the heart.

This is a trip not to be missed and booking is essential!
