Intensive Healing with Traditional Medicine
Presented by:Rita Navarrete Perez and Tonita Gonzales
I am happy to announce the schedule for our Intensive Healing
Retreat
This journey is a bi-lingual (English/Spanish) intensive
learning experience of Traditional Meso-American Medicine. The
objective of this retreat is to give people the tools to heal
themselves and to heal others. As you will notice in the
detailed schedule, we will be having hands on practices on a
variety of modalities of traditional medicine. The beauty of
this intensive retreat is that through our own healing, we will
be able to understand the principals of healing and learn
how to guide others in their healing.
This intensive class, and personal journey will a life changing
experience. The class will be limited to 8 individuals. The
Journey will be rustic, we will be staying in Ritas
Home/Temazcal in the outskirts of Mexico City, and in Metaxhi,

Spending Money: At the airport you can exchange American dollars
for Mexican pesos at a good rate. Otherwise, I
recommend that people withdrawl money from their account from an
ATM. You will get the current exchange rate, and
it avoids having to carry lots of cash. People have asked how
much money they should take. On the day we will be
going to Sonora and Mexico City, we will have shopping time at
the Traditional Healing Markets, and at locations with
Jewlery. They are a lot cheaper then most places in Mexico,
since they are distributers. They are fun, and I love it! So
use your discretion.

Mexico about 3ish on the Thursday May 5th. We can talk about

your departure about 1:00ish in the afternoon
Please just send me your itinerary. Thanks
