Arrive in Belize on Thursday morning. Flights should arrive in Belize City around noon. From there, you’ll be guided onto a 20 minute flight on Mayan Air to Palencia. Our hostess will pick us up and drive us to the Bed and Breakfast where you’ll be greeted with a Belizean beverage and keys to your room. Settle in, take a tour of the grounds, or go for a swim if you like. Lounge by the Carribean Sea and take it all in or take a few steps and touch your toes in the water!
Your room is always full with a 5 gallon tank of water, refrigerator, soap, shampoo, linens, towels. Beach towels hang by the pool. Kayaking, paddle boarding are yours for the enjoyment whenever you like. Yoga mats for meditation, Pilates or just to create your own on the beach experience.
Snacks will be available throughout our stay. Sunrises (some of the most beautiful in the world) begin around 6:00am. Breakfast is provided each morning to start our day.
Thursday Afternoon Tea (sandwiches and desserts) will be a time to settle in, find some quiet time or a time to get to know the other guests. Your choice as you melt into Serenity in Belize.
We’ll get to know each other Thursday afternoon into dinner. During dinner we’ll share some Brené Brown insights. You might enjoy watching her documentaries The Call to Courage on Netflix or Atlas of the Heart on HBO Max before you arrive.
-
Friday will begin with a sunrise meditation, breakfast and then a morning of snorkeling in the Carribean for those who want an adventure. Lunch is included and provided on a private island before you journey back. Those who prefer a massage will stay at the Bed and Breakfast and be pampered in the morning instead.
Friday afternoon will leave time for sunning, swimming in the pool, kayaking, paddle boating, or finding one of the many quiet spots to read or journal. It could also include scheduling a massage if you chose snorkeling in the morning.
A Gratitude Dinner will be the highlight Friday evening, complete with music under the stars.
-
Saturday begins with Pilates at sunrise, breakfast and then some morning time to yourself. As with the other times like this, you may want to schedule an on-site massage. A lunchtime and afternoon adventure will take us to town where we’ll have a local lunch on the beach and have time to shop some local shops afterwards.
As we get to know each other and find our gratitude and serenity, we’ll celebrate with a “Cook Together” Community Dinner led by a Belizean women to teach us how to make some of her favorite foods.
-
Sunday morning begins with another sunrise Pilates followed by breakfast.
In the morning Mayan women will share with us their basket making techniques as we lean into the Belizean culture. Lunch will be available afterwards. The afternoon will be open to taking in your favorite moments as you continue to experience Serenity in Belize. Did you get that massage you wanted? Find quiet time for reading or journaling? Lounge by the ocean at either the pool or on the deck just toes length away from the Carribean.
Sunday will be our Serenity Dinner – We’ll light our candles, share our experiences and express our ideas of how we can bring these moments back into our every day life.
-
Monday morning will be a last sunrise meditation on the beach followed by breakfast. Take in the last scents and beauty of Belize before we head back to the Palencia Airport to catch our flight on Mayan Air. We’ll all say our good-byes at the Belize City Airport before we head to our home flights bringing our sense of serenity with us.
Our greatest desire is for you to leave feeling relaxed, nurtured, and with a sense of serenity. We hope you have fun while you take in the culture, the beauty and simplicity of Belize.
