Check out the awesome review of our resort partner in Tulum Mexico posted on Treehugger.com a great source for information for the green community from travel & nature to food, fashion and politics.

The author, a yogi traveller from Brooklyn NY also has this to say about participating in the Turtle conversation program which we also plan to take part in during our retreat in May…

“Watching the creatures leave land for their underwater destiny is like watching a piece of pre-historic history. It is beautiful–but overwhelmingly sad. We know that the fate of these baby turtles is grim but better then most. As we are reminded in our educational talk prior to the volunteer expedition, other less fortunate turtles born on more developed strips of hotel and resort beaches easily confuse the artificial lights dotting the developed strips for the moon. They end up walking away from the natural home they’re evolutionarily designed for, the ocean, thus making them more likely to be caught and killed by either a poacher or predator. Or killed even wandering onto nearby roads…

I had never known how much forming a personal relationship with a green-shelled reptile could re-ignite, inspire and motivate my take-action-ness. Not only for the turtles–for this entire environmental movement.”

I am so excited to spend time off the grid in the biosphere in a place and time when I can get away from our mechanized world and soak in the pure power of our natural world.
