There is nothing like the experience of swimming with dolphins in the wild to expand your heart. I welcome YOU to join me for an amazing experience in the Bahamas in the end of September. We swim, we laugh, we eat great food, we relax on the boat, we make new friends, we learn, we play. And, most importantly, we are blessed by wild dolphins!

Last year I luxuriated in two full weeks of bliss with two groups joining me. The photo above is when our group floated in a meditation together while sending love out to the dolphins. Atmo, the WildQuest photographer, captured our image from deep below the surface. This beautiful photo shows that as we relaxed and allowed the love to flow out from our hearts, we magically transformed into the shape of a heart!
Each year, participants enjoy heart opening experiences with the dolphins. For myself, one of my most powerful exchanges occurred the year I went to WildQuest on a personal retreat. My life had been quite difficult with the loss of three siblings and two animal companions within a few years. I was devastated, physically exhausted, emotionally drained and needed love. Never before had I taken myself on a solo retreat. Though it felt a bit awkward for me, I knew it was essential for my well-being and hoped the dolphins could help me heal.
During my week alone, I was began to learn to free dive, a technique where you hold your breath and practice dropping deeper and deeper into the sea. My goal was to last as long as possible under the water with dolphins. The more I relaxed, the more my movements became like dolphin movements. Grace and ease began to fill my body while simultaneously I surrendered to the sorrow within my soul. The more I swam gracefully, the more my heartache expanded. Tears blurred my vision in my mask. The warm salt water held me and rocked me gently. Sadness, joy, grief, love all bursting from my heart. Again and again I dove down, while a sense of playfulness entered me as I rose to the surface. Crying. Laughing. Releasing.
As I tired and felt ready to climb upon the boat, I decided to make one more deep dive. Effortlessness came upon me as I felt amazed to see how easily I was dropping into the peaceful deep waters. I found myself twirling toward the surface and suddenly I realized dolphins were arriving from all directions. They swam to me as I was rising. Each dolphin spiraled as the group encircled me. Physically I could feel a vibrating and tingling sensation penetrate my body. l knew it was love. Their pure and joyful love was healing my heart and soul.
That spiral dance of love changed me forever. I will treasure that moment in time, remembering each detail as if it was yesterday. Every year, I return to thank them while sharing people who welcome their love and healing.
Pure love. It's a gift the dolphins wish to share. Would you like to join me on this trip of a lifetime? I am taking reservations now. Call 541-484-2020 or email me at Animalwize@aol.com for details.
