 Join us for

Spiritual Boot Camp 2007!

on Beautiful St. John

August 18-25, 2007

August 16-23, 2008

with Randy Denton and Allison Smith

The Spiritual Boot Camp 2007 is a serious approach to spiritual development and self-nurturing for people who seek greater spiritual realization and deeper spiritual practice. The week-long event is being held in a beautiful, natural setting and being facilitated by seasoned spiritual teachers and guides. It is not a physical boot camp, but a spiritual one – it will challenge you to go deeper into your psyche, to plumb the true divinity within yourself.

         

You will be nurtured in a luxurious setting, in beautiful villas on healthy, naturally energized St. John, one of the Caribbean’s true pristine treasures. The days will contain explorations of nature, the beaches, the sea, the rainforest, deep meditation, wonderful island food, experiential workshops and other learning activities and spiritual practices. You will explore the depths of your being in a beautiful place with knowledgeable, supportive people. The evenings will be times for social connection, fun and rest.

We will gather on beautiful St. John in the Virgin Islands, a protected space where natural beauty abounds, which has two of out of what are known as the ten most beautiful beaches are Earth.

   

Caribe Villa, nestled in the hills of St. John, has an expansive view of the Caribbean Sea.

Lodging will be in a series of beautiful villas, with names like Blue Heaven Rendezvous, Caribe Villa, and St. John Passion. Accommodations in these "millionaire villas" include double rooms, some perfect for couples, and a limited number of single accommodations. We will connect and bond as a group, creating "sacred space." We will dine on island specialties on the deck, swim in the villa pools or the nearby tropical bays, hike in the natural settings, and socialize in the evenings under the stars.

The Spiritual Boot Camp is for you if you are truly seeking a greater realization of your spiritual nature, if you love to travel to exotic locations, and if you resonate to group learning activities. It also helps if you are something of an adventurer – willing to stretch beyond your comfort zone to what lies beyond.

The focus of The Spiritual Boot Camp 2007 is to deepen your spiritual awareness and practices. Workshops will include spiritual exploration, breathing rebirthing workshops,  A Course In Miracles concepts, sacred practices, and more.  Mornings will consist of spiritual practices and workshops; afternoons will alternate between workshops, hikes, and free time to shop or explore; evenings will combine opportunities to "share your story" along with dinner on the deck, social fun and personal reflective time. The focus will be on a serious experience for your spiritual side, luxurious nurturing for your physical side, and inspiration, fun, and adventure for your emotional side.

St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands lies peacefully under the American flag 1100 miles southeast of Miami, a 2 1/2 hour flight. St. John is surrounded by the world famous clear-blue water of the Caribbean. Cooled by the trade winds, the average temperature of 82 degrees in the summer  is MUCH cooler than the States! St. John has 30 superb beaches, rated in the top ten in the world, exotic flowers, crystal clear waters, alluring underwater reefs, emerald green mountains,  22 hiking trails and breathtaking ocean views. Our island is a mere nine miles long and two thirds of it is Virgin Islands National Park. The pace is VERY laid back and friendly; we don't even have a traffic light!
