Fall and Winter Offerings
 

The New Moon in Libra

Greetings from our Farm in the Cowichan Valley. What a spectacular Autumn we have had on Vancouver Island. Sunny days, warm temperatures and an extended growing season. We are still being nourished with Broccoli, squash and Purple Potatoes from our Gardens. The Chantrelle Mushrooms are starting to appear with this last much needed rain too....

With the shorter days, and longer nights this is a time of introspection and internal cleansing. As we prepare for another winter in Baja, wonderful memories of an enriching season in Tofino and the many amazing people we communed with fill us with gratitude.

Many THANK YOUS to all that participated in our Summer Season. Our 2007 dates will be posted by late December. We will continue to offer our ever popular Women's Yoga and Surf Retreats as well as our Co-Ed Illumination Retreat....stay tuned for more details.

Tonight the New Moon will be in Libra....ruling Love and Relationships...LET LOVE RULE!!!

This Winter, there are many exciting offerings from Milagro Retreats and our wonderful community. Grab a Chai, Grab your Lover, sit back and imagine the possibilities as you read on....
