A Little Escape I’d Love to Share With You


Hello Fellow Sages,

Imagine waking up on a small Caribbean island, stepping outside your bungalow to warm ocean air and turquoise water stretching as far as you can see.

It’s the kind of place where something inside you naturally begins to slow down.

Since last weeks newsletter, several of you have reached out asking about the upcoming Vibrant Sage retreat in Belize, and your curiosity and excitement truly mean a lot to me. Because of that, I thought I would share a little more about the experience with everyone.

November 7 to November 11th, we will gather on a private island in Belize, surrounded by the beauty of the Caribbean Sea. Some of the accommodations are bungalows built right over the water, where you can step outside and see the ocean beneath you.

A few days in a place like this has a way of shifting something within us. Through time in nature, simple practices, and meaningful conversation, we begin to reconnect — mind, body, and soul.

Our days will unfold naturally. Mornings may begin with gentle movement or breathwork overlooking the sea, followed by fresh island breakfasts and time to explore or simply relax.

You might spend the afternoon snorkeling along the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef — the second largest reef system on earth, kayaking in calm water, reading in a hammock beneath the palms, or enjoying quiet time to reflect and reconnect with yourself.

Evenings bring beautifully prepared meals, shared stories, laughter, and those simple moments that often become the most memorable — watching the sunset, listening to the waves, and feeling part of a special community.

This retreat is designed with a balance of shared experiences and personal space. There will be opportunities for breathwork, sound healing, gentle movement, and time in nature — yet everything is optional. The intention is to create space where you can participate in what resonates with you and enjoy the rest of the time however you wish.

And if your adventurous spirit calls, there are plenty of opportunities to kick things up a notch with snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking, or exploring the island.


This retreat may be especially meaningful for you if you:

• Feel ready to disconnect from the stress and noise of everyday life
• Love the ocean and being immersed in beautiful natural surroundings
• Appreciate a balance of relaxation, reflection, and a little adventure
• Enjoy thoughtful conversation and the chance to connect with like-minded people
• Prefer a smaller, more intimate environment rather than a large resort experience

While you are welcome to come on your own, many people enjoy sharing the experience with a partner or friend.

P.S. The island accommodates only a small number of guests, allowing the retreat to remain intimate, relaxed, and personal — exactly the kind of experience I love to create.

Hello Fellow Sages, Most of you know I wrote a book, The Vibrant Sage: Arousing Energy for Health and Happiness, built around five foundational pillars for vibrant living after 50: breathmovementnutritionsleeppurpose And for years, when someone asked me which pillar matters most… my answer was usually: it depends. Sometimes the answer was breath.Sometimes purpose. Breath and purpose have always felt like the bookends to me—breath means we are alive and able to offer our gifts to the world...

Hello Fellow Sages, Happy Spring… (ok, I know it officially started a while ago—but I’m still celebrating it 😊) There’s something about this time of year. The longer days. The warmth of the sun. The quiet return of color—from daffodils to cherry blossoms. Even here in South Florida, where we don’t experience winter in quite the same way, there’s still a shift. A soft unfolding. And it got me thinking… What if we’re not so different from those flowers? Winter is a time of quiet reflection; for...
