Recently I visited The White Lodge, far from the Cabo fast pace and hidden within the dirt roads at the tip of Baja, Mexico. For an authentic, 'off the grid' and healing experience, this is a must-see. Solar power operated, no TVs but wi-fi, this is a place that sets the stage for renewal … mind•body•spirit.

Recently I had an experience unlike any other. I savored cacao seeds that have been passed down for 2500 years to the families of Mayan heritage in a remote area of Mexico. This ritual corresponded with the Temexcal, a ceremony offering a rebirith of the mind•body•spirit. Courtesy of sister website Farm to Wellness Retreats.

"We can't deny the gift of our medicine to another."  Meet The Medicine Woman, as I just did at The White Lodge in Baja, Mexico. Using fresh indigenous plants, ingredients from the property itself, the Zenica spa relaxes ... and The Medicine Woman renews the spirit. Article courtesy of our new sister website: Farm to Wellness Retreats.
