So the phone might be better at this point as there are many ways this can go. We booked the month of April and the first two weeks have no more openings anymore in our beautiful house on the beach. We are not confirmed for a featured chef for the last two weeks . Are you a chef? This would be the first person to get work and earn back the portion of their room and board with work as clients confirm for these two weeks. I f you are not a chef (please be clear it will be a big job for the chef when full) then the next positions with earn back potential are assistant chef (fully guided by us and the featured chef) and we want to have body workers around too. They can sell them selves regardless of pecking order. House keeping is handled. So worst case scenario is you pay room and board for a top notch vacation package, classes , tours ,luxury accommodations , private beach, ect. For 100 dollars a day. Read the events page for all thats offered. There are two chefs contemplating these weeks so far and two assistants and one bodyworker. Your only risk is not working but once there is a commitment I assure you won't be bumped even for a client, if we are that full rooms are doubled up and earning begins. This is our first retreat as retreatslive . We all lived in Panama last year as part of a raw/fasting center working and sharing. We decided we could do it better and this is the one. Beth is down there full time Nat and I go back and forth doing raw food talks and demos around the west coast. We are all chefs , Nat is our most celebrated gourmet and has worked with Montel Williams , Annie Jubb and Juliano. My specialty is cleansing and body work and emotional clearing and Beth is creative in all aspects but really heads up our sustainable local connection and has a raw catering svc in Panama city. We are looking to create a community in Panama and the retreats are a way to bring like mind down and mix with local like mind. We are beginning to advertise to for two Canadian retreats this summer , Iceland and Bali and back to Panama our home base. I am working right now on the page that shows where a 10% tithe is coming from us from all who travel with us for reforestation projects and local fruit tree planting and help for the Octopi. My number is 360 961 0145 - leave a message where and when to call and I will call back from my international line as I am in Canada investigating a retreat center we might use in BC come june. If things go well maybe you will want to come work there too! namaste, Tamara ps did I mention our art barn if your an artist? For use when we want by a local.
Okay, I'm really interested, but I think I need it broken down or spelled out a bit more, exactly what you want up front and exactly how it works after that.
do you do this sort of exchange often?? how long have you been doing these retreats by the way?
i suppose (said jokingly/begrudgingly!!) i don't mind anyone else knowing!!! ;)
and yes those are my photos, cheers!!
xx
You have quite possibly made my snowy/rainy afternoon!!
I think it makes sense, I would pay to come stay and work, but if the retreat is filled, I would essentially get the money back?
I had meant to tell you that I am so happy to work in exchange for room and board, but if this is how you do it (and please tell me if i've followed you correctly!!). . . then that's pretty similar. . .
I agree that it sounds like a wonderful fit. . . for some reason it just intuitively seems. . . right.
and i tend to live my life guided by those feelings. . .
i'm sure you have lots of interest- anyone who sees the photos (oh shhhhh i should keep that quiet, right?!) would no doubt be clamoring to come stay!
i look forward to chatting more about this. . .

do you by any chance need a volunteer helper (kitchen or anywhere, really)??!!!!
who adores yoga. . .sunshine. . .adventure. . . is a brilliant raw food chef. . . ???
i'm self-employed, currently between jobs and was thinking of wwoofing in hawaii by the end of march through whenever. . . but your retreat came up and your site completely captivated me. . .
feel free to message me. . .and have the loveliest day!

Close.....room 5. Yeah, cap rising. Kinda weird how that ended up working out, huh? I checked out the site you gals have up. Looks good. Maybe I'll have to come back down and spend some time???
I'm back home in Central NJ at the moment tending to some business and working through some pretty intense on-going detox. I'm hoping it wraps up by summer, or at least reduces a bit. Some time back in that bright Panamanian sun would do wonders I'm sure. How about you?

Hey. Long time no see. How's life back in the States?
I want to raise my vibration at every level, for many reasons. Earthly illusions such as poverty, jealousy, anger, hate, greed, abuse, weigh me down like heavy luggage. It is these very illusions that keep me separate from others and from God. Get...
Thank you guys! For the sauce, I used tomatoes, a spoon of olive oil and a pinch of any yellow spice I could find in my cupboard and some cilantro. I prepare almond milk so I used the leftovers nuts and mixed them with previous ingredients and the...

i had an assigment in a class called Science and the Imagination, (basically Writing meets Science, or sci fi) and we had to watch a sci fi show episode and give some kind of report. That began my addiction to Battlestar Galatica, LOL. It's so good!
Gia, I wish you well and certainly understand the power of this process. Please be careful though; this is a significant process. Nature has the keys, and the best we can ever do is to try to understand and apply her wisdom. Fasting is about givin...
Thank you! Yes, the little one is high raw. He's 90% most days on account of his father pushing some "normal" things like toasted granola and steamed peas on him. Nothing I'll complain about though! He's also still nursing, so he gets a raw transf...
ripped and beautiful :) it may just be me but being so stong, especially in that area, rises the idea in your head of power and that you will soon be sprouting wings.. :)
