Join author and animal communicator, Marta Williams, for an amazing 8-day adventure in Baja Mexico, communicating with whales and reconnecting with nature.
Our group will fly in to Loreto, then travel by van over to Magdalena Bay, where the California Gray Whales breed, birth and raise their young each winter. Each morning, Marta will offer instruction in the skill of intuitive communication before venturing out to visit the mother and baby whales by panga (motorized skiff). Discover first-hand the wisdom and advice the Gray Whales, ambassadors to humanity, want to share with us. We stay on an exclusive, comfortable island base camp, at the edge of the mangrove estuaries, where we'll also enjoy kayaking, led by expert guides who will point out several species of exotic birds along the way.
After 3 days and nights at Mag Bay, we will head over to a solar-powered, secluded eco-resort on the Sea of Cortez, with open-air dining, a 30-foot yurt, secluded casitas, snorkeling, guided hikes and sea kayaking. We will also have the option to motor out to visit dolphins and a variety of whales, including blue, finback, minke, orca, humpbacks, and even the occasional gray. Depending on weather and tides, we also have the option to visit a natural, tidal hot spring at the edge of the sea. We will have plenty of opportunities to reconnect and communicate with all aspects of nature in an intimate and comfortable setting. A naturalist will accompany us on all whale watching and kayak trips, so that we can ask verifiable questions of the wildlife we encounter.
On this trip, you will have the undeniable experience of intuitive communication with animals and nature. Once you encounter the intelligence and spirit of other beings through intuitive discourse, it changes your life radically and forever. Come to Baja to revive this ancient skill that we all possess, and explore your unique role in helping to bring humans and the natural world back together again.
