Updates at Milagro Retreats

Greetings from our farm in the Cowichan Valley where we are enjoying the flow of our summer offerings. Balancing travel with gardening and hOMe Grown Living Foods is a magical dance that we are honored to be participating in.

As I followed the luminous moon home from Tofino with the taste of Blueberries on my palette, gratitude overwhelmed me. Communing with a vibrant group of souls at our Journey Through the 5 Elements Yoga Retreat in the Tofino Botanical Gardens, was so rewarding. Witnessing transformation on many levels in each of our guests, I thanked the universe for the opportunity to provide nourishment at Milagro Retreats.

Comments from our guests included:
"Truly inspiring, invigorating and energizing"
"Milagro invigorated my body, mind and soul"
"Definitely coming back next year"
"Natural Breath, Bodacious Goddess Beauty, Yoga Surf Spirit" ~ a Haiku by Susan J.

The Full Moon in Aquarius

Aquarius rules the global community. This is the Full Moon to honor freedom, idealism, humanitarianism, egalitarianism, and the revolutionary impulse toward reform, without causing harm to anyone.

Aquarius is the impulse to raise-up everyone and leave no one behind. So in service to these calls to action, become responsible and find out what is really happening around you. Get involved in your community, volunteer your time, and raise awareness in your neighborhood.

Finally, after much editing and revising, we are proud to offer you our first recipe booklet in full color with over a dozen delicious RAW recipes. This is the first of our seasonal booklets and we are excited to share with you. Please email us for more details.

2. Grind almonds, add coconut and dates with enough liquid to emulsify.
3. Press mixture into a lightly greased pie plate and dehydrate for 6-8 hours. Or on the lowest setting in the oven 2-4 hours.
