I never expected to be swimming in a dark cave on Christmas morning. My son Preston and I didn't know what to expect during that long bus ride through the heart of the Cayo district. When we arrived the guide led us through the jungle for about 45 minutes on foot. Then he handed out helmets with headlamps, jumped in the water up to his chest and said, "let's go, stay close behind!" Three hours later we emerged into the sun and ate a fabulous lunch....it very challenging physically and mentally, the darkness plays tricks with the senses.
The next day we paddled to San Ignacio, about 2 hours away from the river camp where we were staying. Talk about intimidating...floating down the river in Central America heading for a town we never had been and the only directions where to exit the river at the "concrete block on the left." My son and I did it and had the best tacos in a little place most people in Dallas would never dare go in. I love allowing my adventurous side to come out in Belize.
This year I heading back to Belize with Dawn Heyl. She and I are leading a tour beginning Oct 22, it is too late to join us for this one, but we will bring you updates of our experience.

Awakening Your Senses in Belize
Caving in Belize.
Each day of the tour our guests will experience one of the five senses in an extraordinary way. On Friday, when we tour the cave, we will explore the sense of touch. And bring awareness to mind of how the rocks feel, how the ground feels under our bare feet, how the dampness or coolness of the cave feels...expanding that into an emotional feeling and feeling of appreciation for our bodies, ourselves and others.
Travel with us to Belize October 22-27 and experience the sense of touch in a completely new way that will lead you to discover a new part of yourself.
$1999 (includes airfare, accommodations, ground transportation, tour fees and most meals), $2199 after 6/30/09, so send you $100 deposit today. Contact Dawn Heyl at dawnheylskincare@tx.rr.com

I am ecstatic about being a “tour buddy” for a group who wants to expand their experiences with the Maya peoples of Central America, as Belize is such a diverse country. We will visit the famed ruins and travel back to ancient times exploring breath-taking caves, and we will spend a day with local medicine woman, Dr. Rosita Arvigo, to learn about the healing plants of the rain forest and to experience a Maya ritual bath which is an integral and revered part of indigenous Maya medical practices and village life. Adults and children are regularly bathed in water infused with sacred plants and prayers to ensure their emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being, and you can experience this with us first hand! This trip will be five unforgettable days of realizing and becoming all that you are with your five senses being tantalized to the max!
Don’t miss this life changing experience.
