remembering who you are


Maya Tulum offers the most perfect opportunity for just that. When we strip away the phone, the tv, the internet, the modern conveniences. Who are we?

When we can remove the daily to do's....the driving, the appointments, the schedules to keep, the places to go, the laundry, the cooking....who are we?

When we can unplug from society and plug into spirit.....who are we?

We begin to forget that I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, an employee, a boss, a student, a caretaker, a healer. We ask ourselves....really who am I?

We remember that we are
Joy
And light
And life.

We remember that we're Here to be
Happy
Healthy
Filled with Peace

That this is our true authentic Self. That is our nature.

It can be hard making the transition at Maya Tulum. Going from who we are supposed to be to remembering who we truly are at heart.

The quiet, the space. Being surrounded by the jungle on one side and the sea on the other.Even the abundance of time can be unsettling for some. But I believe it's among the silence and the distance that true revelation, healing and understanding comes. And what a beautiful place that is.

That's why I continue to go back.
And back.
And back again.
