Our Journey Begins
​
​
Imagine yourself after a deep and rejuvenating nights sleep at the quaint Isabella Hotel, you arrive at Magdelena Bay. You take your first step onto the beach. Your senses heighten as you take in the scents and sounds of the beautiful ocean. You've arrived! A flock of birds soar gently overhead, bidding you hello.
​
Your anticipation heightens as you're greeted by many friendly faces who lead you to the waters edge where a nearby boat awaits. As you board, you happen to notice out of the corner of your eye, an enormous gray whale breaching out of the water! It takes your breath away... "So Beautiful!" you say aloud, as the sun's reflections gently glisten and dance upon the water.
This is one of those special moments in your life when a knowing washes over you... everything aligns and you realize that you and your life will never be the same and this is just the beginning!
​
Gentle Giants
When you find yourself eye to eye with a whale, the feeling is indescribable and before you realize it, tears have filled your eyes and your heart has blasted wide open!!!
The whales literally swim right up to the boats. With just a reach of your hand, you can touch, hug and kiss these incredible Beings!! Sometimes a mama whale will swim under their calf and lift her baby directly up to the boat, offering it up so everyone can meet and greet her baby! This is the most profound act of trust that I have ever witnessed!
These gentle giants love playing and interacting with us! They emit such an enormous field of unconditional love and JOY, Imparting a priceless gift... The keys to unlock our hearts. Finally discovering what it means to Truly love the Self.
​
The Baja Sur in Mexico holds such a unique offering... it is the only location in the world where these friendly whales willingly and eagerly seek out interaction with humans, up close and personal in their own natural environment.
Magical Magdalena Bay is the 2nd largest Bays in the world and it can have up to 1,500 migrating Gray Whales in it at one time! Here, the whales come to play, conceive and birth their precious young. The white sand dunes and lush mangroves are far reaching, stretching up to 35 to 40 miles long which attracts thousands beautiful birds!
Daily Adventures
We'll venture out on the water daily, where you'll have the amazing privilege of spending intimate time with the beloved whales and their babies. They are such incredible Beings! In their presence, you'll become aware of subtle shifts within yourself that propel you forward on your own unique journey, opening to the magnificence of who you really are... softening any resistance to fully loving yourself.
The whales have so much deep wisdom to impart to us... and for those who allow themselves to open and receive all the whales have to share, their impact will be profound and long lasting!
​
Our adventures will take us to Bird Island Sanctuary where we'll have the opportunity to witness hundereds even thousands of sea birds. Their sound is almost deafening! Rare photos can be captured and cherished.
​
We'll explore breathtaking white sand dunes on an expansive secluded beach. As you make your way along the waters edge, your feet sink into the soft, warm sand and to your delight, you may discover gorgeous seashells... the oceans treasures along the way! The tranquil waters may call you in for a swim... revitalizing and renewing.
As we make our way back to Camp, perhaps we'll encounter a visit from our dolphin friends who invite our childlike nature to come out and PLAY!
And in your free time, you may enjoy the kayaks and paddle boards that are readily available for your pleasure, allowing you to explore more of the beautiful bay!

Glamping
Island Whale Camp

Its been a day full of surprises and miracles. Imagine yourself, after enjoying a scrumptious homecooked meal, relaxing on your shaded wooden deck over looking the ocean. You hear the call of the seagulls circling overhead as you witness the sun slowly making its way toward the horizon. You drink in this magical moment, realizing you haven't felt this nourished and peaceful for a very long time.
You make your way into your spacious, comfy tent and tuck yourself into your cozy bed. Pulling your blanket up under your chin, you close your eyes and you find yourself being lulled to sleep by the gentle, melodic breath of the sleeping whales nearby.
The beautiful Magdalena Bay Whale Camp offers very comfortable Kodiak Campus tents, with tall ceilings that you can stand up right in. Each has a 20x20 shaded wooden deck with chairs to relax in overlooking the beautiful Bay. Retreat price based on shared room accomodations. Single occupancy available for additional cost.
You may catch glimpses of whales passing by and take in the beauty of the vibrant sunsets each evening. Star gazing is so profound as the tapestry of the night sky is clear and bright! Breath taking!
The tents are furnished with either 1 queen size bed or 2 single beds with sheets and blankets provided.
There is running water for hand washing, camp style flushing toilets and daily hot showers available. Glamping at its BEST!

Freshly squeezed orange juice being prepared from organic local fruits.

SELF LOVE
Life Enhancing Practices and Teachings
Since early childhood, Beth has had an intimate connection with the beautiful whales and dolphins, allowing her to be the Voice for these magnifecent Beings. Their gentle and loving transmissions genuinely and profoundly support our individual and collective journey of Awakening.
​
During our powerful time together, Beth will share simple teachings that empower you to create your own reality and the life of your dreams. As you learn to work deliberately with the laws of the universe, you'll discover that the 'secret' we've all been looking for is so simple... GET HAPPY! When you are selfish enough to 'Love Yourself First', putting FEELING GOOD as your highest priority, all else simply falls into place.
​
We'll gather together each day to apply and integrate these simple processes, practices, teachings, breath work and meditation... and with assitance from the whales, you'll experience a new found state of well-being, alignment, balance, empowerment and
True Love Of Self!
​
As the Beloved whales sing to us their Ancient songs of the Heart, the songs of remembrance... Their gift is one of activation and awakening, a deep knowing that has laid dormant for so long. A stirring emerges from within, as the gentlest whisper arises... your heart quickens to the sound that reveals the hidden Truth. You Realize this melody is a language, a song, singing freely from your heart! It's unique, It's beautiful, It's your own HEART'S SONG, that you, beautiful you can now sing for all to hear!!
​
You'll fly into Loretto Mexico, where a shuttle will pick you up and carry you and your fellow retreat travelers to Magdalena Bay area where we'll stay our first night at a sweet hotel, The Isabella. We'll enjoy a lovely dinner together, meeting and greeting the beautiful tribe family who has gathered for this AMAZING Journey!
