Issue #10 - March 2005 - Spring Retreats: Global Yoga!
I had the pleasure of cooking/massaging on Maui in November with Swellwomen. It was 'over the top' fun, and I highly recommend this vacation to anyone looking to; learn to surf, eat great food, meet new friends and stretch your body and mind on the astounding island of Maui.

Issue #9 - December 2004 - Fall Flavours: Maui Retreats, Great Food & More
October was spent putting the Milagro garden to bed, after harvesting the last of the beans, squash and garlic. It was hard to leave the farm, but Maui was calling. One of our sister companies Swellwomen had 2 retreats back to back, so I offered my services creating a healthy gourmet menu and massaging the guests. It was a delight! With daily surf lessons, and an eclectic blend of local yoga classes, it was a full spectrum experience. There are many more opportunities in 2005 to experience these Surf and Yoga Retreats on Maui.

Issue #8 - September 2004 - Fall Harvest: Veggie Talk & Upcoming Retreats
What a summer it has been with 2 Sold Out Surf Sister Billabong Yoga and Surf Camps and a Blue Moon Yoga and Surf Retreat with Marne Semick. I have been spending plenty of time in Tofino. The weather was picturesque for the July Yoga and Surf Retreats with record breaking temperatures and perfect learning waves. It could not stay that way forever. The skies opened on us last weekend during our August Surf Sister/Billabong Camp.

Issue #7 - July 2004 - Yoga Retreat with Billabong and Surf Sister Reflections
Great weather, spectacular camping, food, surf and yoga! It was another blissful weekend. Our Surf Sister Billabong Yoga Surf Retreat in Tofino could not have had better weather. What a great way to spend the weekend, camping under the stars, eating delicious meals, learning to surf and enjoying daily yoga classes.

Issue #3 - June 2004 - Baja Moments
Reflections from our 2nd Annual Baja Yoga & Surf Retreat with Eion Finn. It is hard to imagine a better vacation. Surfing and Yoga seem to be the perfect match for a challenging yet restorative experience. Immersion in a community lifestyle enriches this experience, and encourages growth and self exploration. Just what the soul ordered! Looking forward to the next Milagro Retreat.
