Megaliths & Dolmens
When I took a retreat group on a Montana Megalith Retreat in 2024, I could NEVER have imagined how absolutely mystical and magical it would be! Julie and I couldn’t wait to do it again! We modified, adjusted, and did everything we could to make it even more spectacular.

I became absolutely captivated by the Montana Megaliths the instant I first heard about them! Since that moment, I had dreamed of planning a retreat to visit them! Last year, that dream became a reality! This extraordinary collection of towering dolmens, intricate polygonal block granite walls, awe-inspiring pyramid complexes, and enigmatic stacked circular terraces had remained hidden in the Montana wilderness until recently. Julie Ryder is credited with their discovery and her dedicated research has unveiled over 111 intentionally constructed megalith sites and 47 dolmens, shedding new light on the ancient history of this region.

There will be a shamanic component to our retreat as I will conduct cross-cultural Shamanic ceremonies and journeys using traditional and non-traditional techniques, and share Energy Medicine teachings. In addition to these excursions and activities, there will be ample time for relaxation, exploring the creek, hiking, reading, meditation in the teepee, sound healing, star-gazing, hot-tubing, and labyrinth-walking. 

Last year, we spent three days with Julie and Bill, and we were always sad to part ways for the night, as our experiences and connections were so captivating. So this year, we have arranged to spend three days AND four nights together on a 20-acre ranch in the Montana mountains, where we will share lively conversation and experiences such as shamanic journeying by the campfire (as permitted by MTFire.org), labyrinth meditations, and ceremonies in the medicine wheel and at the megaliths. Accommodations include nicely-appointed (more like glamping than camping) platform tents. There are limited beds available in the main lodge. All bathrooms are shared.

Although this retreat is designed, by Julie and me, for those with Shamanism experience, you may join us even If you are new to shamanism. You will be asked to attend (in person or via zoom), my monthly Shamanism Study Group to build your foundation. This is a spiritual retreat, with sacred ceremonies, and visits to sacred sites, which Julie is committed to have these sites remain sacred and not become commercialized or profit-oriented. She has turned down interview invitations from Ancient Aliens and other thought-provoking shows, for this very reason. She is deeply respected by the local indigenous people who often perform ceremonies at these sites.

Julie leads retreats by invitation only, and invited me to bring another group with these words, “You always bring such an enlightened group, my sense is that so much more will be revealed when we are together. In my nearly 50 years of leading groups, never have I been with such a group that synced so beautifully. Your groups are so cohesive when they arrive which makes the experience of being with you all most delightful.” It is truly an honor to receive her invitation and to work in partnership with her!
A private cook will prepare three meals per day while we are on the ranch. We will share these meals as a group, with Julie and Bill, so that our insightful discussions and conversations may continue uninterrupted. I promise that you will be in the company of two of the most fascinating people I have ever met!
Those adults in average, good health are invited to join us. Sites are accessible by gentle to slightly moderate hiking trails.

Boulder Hot Springs Inn and Spa.
Due to the transformative and intense nature of these powerful experiences, after saying goodbye to the Ryders, the final two days and nights of our retreat will be spent at Boulder Hot Springs Inn and Spa in Peace Valley, MT. Enjoy the pool of natural, mineral-laden, geothermal (103-106 degrees) waters coming from deep within the earth, rest in the sauna, and nestle in comfortable rooms (singles or doubles) in a beautifully restored historic building. This is your time to reflect and integrate the remarkable events on the ranch and at the other sacred sites. We loved our stay at the Inn last year and I know you will too! Inhale, exhale, and relaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxx…. Boulder Hot Springs is a recipient of the prestigious Eco-Star Award. Explore the hiking trails where you may see foxes, coyotes, deer, cranes, ducks, elk, bears, moose, antelope, and beavers, all of whom realize that this is a sanctuary for them, too. Healthy, delicious breakfasts and dinners will be lovingly prepared and served for our group.

 It’s important to note that, if you are coming from a distance, (you may join us from anywhere), you will likely need to stay one night (June 20) near the San Jose Airport in order to take a domestic flight the next morning into Cobano. It’s nearly impossible to catch that flight due to delayed international flights and connections, and a slow-moving immigration line upon arrival in San Jose. The domestic flight on Sansa Airlines takes us to Cobano, just a short taxi ride to the base meeting area of The Sanctuary at Two Rivers. From there, we will be walking into absolute jungle magic!
I will help make the arrangements at one of my favorite cozy hotels and use my favorite, trusted taxi drivers. In addition, Howard, my travel agent, who books all of my retreats, is available to help with your international flights.

Retreat size is limited!

Empower Yourself!
Join us on a Self-Care, Self-Awareness,
Self-Discovery, Self-Healing Retreat
in Beautiful San Ignacio, Belize

July 23-29, 2023 
with
Joyce St. Germaine, M.Ed., CHt., RYT-200
of The Sacred Journey
and
Kerrie Fleming, LMT, CNRT, CST, MMP
of Soul Bodywork

Have you noticed that you seem more reactive to everything around you? That you feel incomplete? Out-of-balance? Out-of-touch? Maybe you don’t even recognize yourself any mor!.  Here is your opportunity to open,  flow, balance,  restore, and  reclaim yourself through  powerful healing practices, loving offered in the sacred, nurturing jungle of Belize. The land, water, air, trees and plants, rocks and minerals, animals, people, ancient and modern cultures of Belize will cradle you as you heal.

Join two highly experienced practitioners and teachers on a Belizean jungle retreat, designed to be deeply healing and incredibly self-empowering. It will combine both powerful powerful shamanic practices and physical/energetic practices.

This retreat will focus on Soul Retrieval and Vagus Nerve Rebalancing. 

Soul Retrieval is an ancient shamanic practice which is based on the understanding that, during times of physical, emotional, or spiritual trauma, little bits of soul essence break away and hide where they feel safe. These soul parts may remain in hiding for years or even lifetimes. People commonly describe feeling as if “something’s missing” or not feeling “whole”.

Vagus Nerve Rebalancing works with the principle that trauma is held in the body and greatly affects the nervous system and our responses to life on every level. It often appears as malfunctioning polyvagal nerve, a topic which is gaining much attention in the health and wellness field. When this is out of balance we have brain fog & confusion, lack of energy & motivation, digestive issues and  sensitivity. Our body just needs a gentle reminder of being back into balance, peace & love.

Joyce will guide you through shamanic practices and journeys, help you to identify lost soul parts, prepare them to return, and safely retrieve them. You will then learn how to energetically transfer these soul parts to your core essence, restoring your sense of wholeness and self.

Kerrie will teach and assist you with techniques to release trauma which has been stored in your body, thus creating space in the body for receiving more soul parts. You will experience a shifting of the state of your nervous system and a rebalancing the vagus nerve. Breathe deeper, feel happy again.

You will be carefully guided and completely supported as you heal. This exploration and fusion of Shamanic  and Bodywork practices is ground-breaking and promises to bring about true healing and self-empowerment!

Although we will work deeply and intensely, there will be ample time to enjoy the treasures of Belize on expertly guided day trip to breath-taking natural sights and astonishing ancient cultural sites. Hike, swim under a waterfall, climb a pyramid, nap in a hammock…we promise to offer a much-needed balance of work and play!

Our trip in Belize begins with an airport pick-up by our private driver and guide, my dear friend, Philip Mai, in our private van or bus. Philip will be our driver and guide for the entire week. We will enjoy lunch en route to Pine Ridge Mountain Lodge, where we will meet our host Neil and his friendly staff. They will help us to get settled and prepare a delicious dinner for us.

Pine Ridge Mountain Lodge is a family friendly, authentic jungle eco-lodge, situated on the stunning Pine Ridge Nature Reserve. It is home to a 1,000-foot waterfall, two rivers, three creeks, hundreds of bird species, stunning tropical gardens, and orchid-lined paths. The entire lodge is ours with dedicated gathering space. We will have free wi-fi and delicious, mostly organic food. Then we will fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the jungle in nicely appointed cabanas and rooms.

We have planned guided visits to ancient Maya Ruins and the sacred Rio Frio Cave, Rio On Pools, Green Hills Butterfly Ranch and their on-site hummingbird garden. We will also experience waterfall playing, moon whispering,  Artbox gallery with local artisan’s crafts, and birdwatching with my dear Maya friend, Philip Mai, known as “The Birdman of Belize”. This includes a visit to his organic farm, home to a 500-year old Ceiba tree, where we will hold a special shamanic ceremony. Under his wife, Nila’s loving direction, we will help prepare a traditional Maya dinner to enjoy with my adoptive family.
