Journey Into Self Discovery for the Professional
JAMAICA

DISCOVERY BAY
ST.ANN'S PARISH, JAMAICA, W.I.

March 7—March 14, 2008

Our annual two-week residential workshop/retreat is open to everyone. Jamaica with her gorgeous vistas, beaches, salt sea air, deep blue water and engaging people is the perfect getaway from the pressures and demands of our northern lives. In an environment of such beauty each of us can open ourselves to experiencing a reprieve, a moment to catch our breath, an opportunity to get in touch with our deep self.

For the more than twenty years we've been offering this workshop, most participants agree it's the magic of Jamaica herself that gently disarms, creating space for self-inquiry and insight.

Perched high on a mountainside, overlooking historic Discovery Bay in St. Anne's Parish, Gim Lan Villa offers all the amenities you could ask for in a genuine Jamaican workshop/retreat: plenty of elegantly presented home-made Caribbean cuisine, cool comfortable rooms [double occupancy], friendly and competent staff, a swimming pool and breezy patio spaces for meals, workshop sessions and re-lax-a-tion.

Our program is carefully tailored to provide just the right balance of individual and group sessions, time for quiet contemplation, the experience of community living and fun. Although free time and tourist activities are scheduled in for both weeks, the first week is dedicated more to the workshop experience.

The second week, however, is much more relaxed with more opportunity for things like visiting cultural/historical sites, snorkeling, scuba-diving, sailing, golf, tennis, river rafting, horse-back riding and dancing.

Oh. And … did I mention … there’s always time to sit back and soak up the arresting beauty of this unique island?
