Today is the last day of March!💚
It’s the day I officially begin the physical journey to the jungle of Costa Rica and begin this Soul Rise Adventure with brave beautiful souls!☀️
This last month has been so intense and full of so much shifting energy and letting go of significant things in my life that served an incredible life altering purpose.
But it was time to say goodbye 💫
Time to clear space in the closet for new and exciting adventures.
Fresh high vibe energy await us as we do the necessary steps and work to go inward, dive into the elements in the solace of nature, reconnect with the truth of who we really are, what has held us back and finally release ourselves..🎼🎼🎼
This is the SOUL RISE intention and today could not be a more perfect energetic alignment 🙏

I’m so blessed to finally see the fruit of a very long planting, watering and cultivating the seeds and plants were made in my heart so many years ago!!☀️

So grateful to all who believed in me and who have stuck by my side through thick and thin to encourage me and breathe with me as I have felt this call🌈🎼

Where ever you are, it’s perfect!!
And it’s time to let go....☀️☀️☀️☀️💫

Let’s do this!!

30/03/2019

Putting the finishing touches on our blessed transformational retreat.💚🎼🙏
Absorbing the sun codes, meditating, writing, praying and drew these cards for a deeper intention.
CORE HEALING
INNOCENCE
RE-BIRTH
As we turn the page from the 9th moon of Intention to the 10th moon of Manifestation and dive deep into the dark of the new moon while in Costa Rica, we will be planting more intentional seeds to raise our vibration to more love, gratitude, forgiveness and ask for clarity and direction while letting go of that which no longer serves us in this next SHIFT in human consciousness ☀️💫🦄

29/03/2019

Just in time THANKFULLY for the last few days before the retreat and during the retreat!🙏🙏
SOUL RISE RETREAT had literally been Divinely timed for this cosmic positioning!!! 🎼🦄💫
I am kind of in awe about the whole thing!!
We will be ushering in the 10th moon of manifestation. And the New Moon as well!
I am so blessed and grateful for the energies that we are being given to drop into a space of calm so we can finally take a bit of a true RETREAT from the wild ride energy that we have had to stir us up, help us dig deeper and prepare us to move beyond our status quip ..
We now get to really absorb the BEAUTY of nature, play, laugh, sing, and plant the seeds of manifestation and get ready to watch them bloom in 5D beauty!!!💚

25/03/2019

Countdown to Soul Rise!!🙏☀️🦄
This Sacred time is being held specifically for those who are called to dive deep, go inward, remember who they are, see the things that have impeded the flow of energy to full soul expression, and with the collective intention to let go and be fully activated!☀️🙏
Learning to bend so we don’t break, finding flexibility in our hearts and minds so our spirits can soar above people and circumstances who perhaps can’t see the big picture 🙏🌈💫

So blessed and honored to be on this incredible journey with you all 💚🌈

22/03/2019

Countdown to Soul Rise Sunshine Journey Retreat🙏☀️
We will be holding sacred space for ourselves to move through energy that is stuck and no longer serves our highest and best purpose..
We heal ourselves and rise so the collective can also feel the light frequency of Love.
May we each no matter where we are to create intentions to shift our energy to a higher frequency.
A blueprint for this Soul Rise experience is:
1. Gratitude - create a gratitude journal and daily write what you find thankfulness in your heart for- even the things that have or are causing you pain..
Find the joy in each moment.
2. Carry a Rock or object to remind you of something to give thanks for
3. Visualize what you want and feel what it feels like to have that in your life.
Meditate with this feeling.
4. Add in Hi vibe food, crowd out any low vibe foods: processed, factory farmed meat, fake foods
5. Get into Nature/ grounding
Absorb Sunshine
Get near Water-
6. Add Crystals to your environment and meditations
Ex:
Citrine: strengths solar plexus
Amethyst - opens crown chakra
Lapis : enhances communication and awareness
Quartz - amplifier of intentions
7. Listen to empowering uplifting Music
432 htz and 528 htz

Start where you are... breathe. Feel how amazing it is to be alive...
Allow yourself to feel joy on the journey ☀️❤️💚🌈💫

SOUL RISE.. it’s in each breath, movement, thought, word, deed. The retreat of your Life is NOW.. 🌈. Come and meet yourself in this moment.💚. Release the anxiety of wanting to be someone else, with someone else, or somewhere else.. I’ve been traveling all over the world for the last few years, mostly solo. 🙏. Much of that time was to get away from myself and my pain and fears. 🙈
I wanted to restart something, have something trigger something that could create a new start🦋, and feel better about stuff that was just not feeling good.. And as much as I LOVE to travel, and absolutely feel that getting out of the routine and familiar environment is, I’ve also been learning that wherever I go, there I am!🙈. And without the proper guidance and intention, just simply going somewhere is just that... 🧐
When I went to Uvitta, Costa Rica last year, I felt strongly that this was the place to hold the container for myself and others to create the sacred place and intention to take our light bodies to the next level..
AND,between then and this moment, I’ve been tested more intensely than I can share at this moment. 🙏
Who am I REALLY to hold this space for others? How can I, who is going through trials, failures and breakdowns help others?
Yet, it’s been in these times of feeling unworthy, that I have gone deeper inside my own inner space and dug down on my knees to pray.
Sometimes, all that had looked like is “HELP!” 🙏🙏🙏 God Bless!!
So, here I am, in all my humanity, rising up, yet again to say, I won’t give up being human and asking for Divine guidance, knowing that it’s not me who is the Source anyway!🔥
We are never at the place where we have it all together.🙀
And if we think we are, well, caution....the storm will be by soon to knock you back into the place to remind u again that you are not...🙏
I’m excited and scared...very... to bring these beautiful souls on retreat..🦋
The fact that others somehow entrust me to create a week long Soul Rise ☀️transformational adventure is humbling and so deeply appreciated.🙏🙏🙏🙏
So whether or not you can go on this or other retreats, I want to encourage you that you can create your own TODAY...💚
Get outside, walk, stretch, be mindful, drink green juice, more water, get still for 5 min and close your eyes.
When a negative thought comes up, think of the opposite positive of that..
This SOUL RISE JOURNEY is truly an inside job!!! Sending Sunshine to everyone 🙏☀️

I found yoga 8 years ago... I was sick, couldn’t get out of bed, completely exhausted, depressed and at my lowest point spirit soul and body.
I suffered daily with so much chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and after have 3 babies back to back and nursing them, my body literally was breaking down.
My journey back to health took me way beyond my baseline to a place where I educated myself through health coaching school, began teaching others, and yoga guided me throughout the way.
After years on the journey, I stayed consistent in my desire and commitment to my health and yoga practice.
When I was sick in bed with three little kids, and you would have told me that I one day I would be teaching yoga and leading a retreat in another country, I would have told you that was ridiculous and not even in the realm of possibility.
I had so little confidence and was simply trying to survive and come to equilibrium.
My life fell apart on all fronts and yet, with a lot of prayer, hard work, and perseverance, I found my way and stayed the course.
It’s still a daily choice and one I take seriously and prioritize.
As I Lead the retreat to Costa Rica, it will be one of the most special achievements and milestones of my life.
This retreat is being led by example, with passion and love for you to hold space for your journey above and beyond where you desire for your Life to go.
Together, we will plot the course, play, dance and move through the spaces that may be keeping you stuck from truly living your highest purpose..

Believe that your Life could be so much more than you could even imagine!!!

Unplug from the matrix for a week and journey to the jungle with me and a few other incredible souls and let’s do this!

13/02/2019

Come galactivate with us in a jungle paradise! We are going deep and remember we we are to live more fully activated on the planet💚

I am so excited to have started this campaign to raise awareness and money to help others around the planet to have CLEAN WATER! 🙏
When I began the journey to create this yoga retreat, I ran across CHARITY WATER on Facebook, thanks to our musician, Drew LaPlante & Friends who had “liked” their page!
I was in Georgia packing and sitting on my mom’s floor and it hit me so hard how incredibly blessed I have it and why I would be leading a retreat and not also at least giving back!!
So, I have been compelled to begin the campaign in the name of SUNSHINE JOURNEY SOUL RISE RETREAT to raise money and awareness for this worthy cause!
Charity Water is so full of integrity and I am so blessed to be able to contribute to their work to help others drink and have clean water!
Whether or not you can attend the retreat, plz consider donating to them!
I am also donating 10% of the profits of the retreat to Charity Water!
EVERY little bit counts and together we can shift the planet for LIFE 💚🙏🌈
https://my.charitywater.org/dotty-sunshine/sunshine-journey-soul-rise-retreat

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean! But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t ...

05/02/2019

The process of birthing ourselves as a new humanity is emerging.
We are awakening from a long collective sleep. Many of us are feeling a bit confused and disoriented as if nothing quite makes sense anymore..
This is all a part of the metamorphosis process and while we are in it, it’s often difficult to fathom a world of peace and unimaginable beauty.🌍
The Soul Rise retreat is being created to create a safe and sacred container for us to continue this process and gain more insight into manifesting our truest purpose, through finding stillness, getting immersed in the energy of nature, getting to unlayer the covering of our silken shell to reveal our true nature.🐛
Through self reflection, group deep diving connection, lots of expressive and guided movement, we will begin opening our wings to take flight in the spiral dance of creation... 🦋
Seeing ourselves in each other, and remembering who we really are will strengthen our flight pattern to stay the course of the highest thermal to ride: on the winds of LOVE❤️and Compassion🙏☀️🌊
Your eco jungle beach transformational retreat awaits you to Spring forward to new Life! April 2-9 🙏

Meet your epic upscale gorgeous Eco-jungle Retreat Center, Selva Armania in Uvita, Costa Rica 🙏🌴🌿🌊

“Retreat Center in Costa Rica”
Selva Armania Mission: To provide a sanctuary that rekindles a connection with nature and nourishes each guest in mind, body, and spirit.

Selva Armonia, or “Harmonious Jungle," provides exceptional retreat space deep in the rainforest of Costa Rica, overlooking the South Pacific Ocean.
This space is a true eco-lodge combining elegance with a rustic atmosphere in a breathtaking jungle setting.

The project began with conscious intention in 2006 with the purchase of 35 acres in the pristine mountains of Uvita, Costa Rica, preparing seven .5-1 acre home sites and planning for sustainable living. The stunning Eco-Retreat Center was completed in 2011. This land and its environmentally conscious architecture has been thoughtfully designed.

Arrive at Selva Armonia to find yourself removed from the mundane. With a breathtaking view of the famous Whale’s Tail in the Pacific Ocean, Selva Armonia Retreat Center is a private and sacred space where there is something for everyone.

We will be enjoying the open-air “floating” bamboo Yoga deck surrounded by peace-invoking edible and botanical gardens.

Relax and be pampered where sea-kissed breezes fold into the sweet serenades of jungle song birds and exotic fruits grow on trees right outside your door. Hike to magical waterfalls, commune with the dragonflies, watch a lotus flower unfold, be inspired to practice your art or blissfully sit and wile away the hours with a good book.
(Excerpts from Selva Armonia website)

Our mission is to provide a sanctuary that rekindles a connection with nature and nourishes each guest in mind, body and spirit.

Dropping in to the Vortex to manifest from into reality the flow for the Costa Ric ART space coming up in April🙏☀️
First of many stops in my Mecca to create the magic💚
Everything begins with a thought.
The true magic happens when we dig deep into our knowing that we can do it, push past the fear and jump!
(Or in my case, have a few of your closest Cosmic friends and angels come by and push you off!! Lol )
Thank u Jennifer Street Hornbuckle Kyle Francis Drew LaPlante and Channon for the proverbial divine “push” being the wind beneath my wings and believing in me!❤️❤️❤️
Love u all so much 🙏 soulfamily

INTRODUCING your Lyrical Sunshine Journey guide🎼🙏❤️

❤️DREW LAPLANTE 🎼

Drew is a magicmaker. His medium is music, and the ever-changing array of sights and sounds that accompany it. He is blue eyes smiling across a crowded room, he is a lost guitar pick, he is three hugs in ten minutes.
He is a lyrical magician weaving his eloquent tunes that pe*****te into the soul, expanding the heart to feel and receive the flavor, texture and essence of warm bliss.

The Sunshine Journey TEAM is so excited to have troubadour and fire-keeper Drew LaPlante carry his medicine of music to this retreat.
He will be providing the heart-centered musical backdrop to multiple yoga classes, spinning soul-lifting songs for the ecstatic dance and building and hosting a fire ceremony where all are encouraged to express and lift their voices in an original sonic co-creation.
Drew is thankful to share his music, the warmth of the fire and sincere, heart connection with all of us on the mountainside. Drew LaPlante

After years of studying, planning, praying and diving deeper through many of life’s trials and joys, I am excited to officially announce the launch of my FIRST TRANSFORMATIONAL YOGA RETREAT!☀️☀️☀️🌈🙏💚
April 2-9th 2019 in Uvita, Costa Rica
Www.sunshinejourneyretreats.com

Here is a little about Sunshine
Journey retreats and I will be posting more about this first retreat and other inspiring info!

Sunshine Journey Adventure Retreats

Sunshine Journey represents our personal journey toward the aspects of ourselves that need to be illuminated.
It is both becoming our bliss and embracing the shadow it casts.

My intention with SJR is to facilitate a beautiful spiritual and adventurous journey for you to connect to your inner being and release your true essence, allowing greater freedom to begin who you were created to be, facing the sun ☀️of your soul, as your shadow organically takes its rightful place behind to guide you.🙏

I am collaborating with other incredible yoga instructors, Healers, musicians, and facilitators to create unique and specific experiences for each retreat.

We are here to hold space for you to face the fears you have been holding on to and help you release them in a safe container.

WHY ARE SUNSHINE JOURNEY RETREATS SO UNIQUE?

We create the most kind, loving and adventurous energy in our retreats, carefully making certain each detail for your highest level of adventure, comfort, safety, and holistic wellness goals are taken care of with ease and a bit of pampering.

Our goal is that each person who is called to experience these retreats will have an unforgettable life-enhancing experience.

We do all possible to ensure that this retreat is not just another "fun time", or just going through the motions.
Each activity whether climbing a mountain, exploring a waterfall, yoga, ceremony or relaxing on the beach is all a part of layering in the process of rediscovering who you are, releasing any old stories that no longer serve you; assisting you to fully embrace all your innate potential with a new found freedom.

We are invested in your ultimate experience Spirit soul and body.

Here’s a little bit about “me”. And... I’m always evolving, rediscovering more of the EYE AM! On this journey with your EYE AM👁
DOTTY SUNSHINE☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

I have been on a journey to learn and acquire the skills to facilitate healing and growth for others on their quest of holistic healing; mind, body and spirit.

My education in the healing arts has spanned over decades, building on my experience as a Registered Nurse and Massage Therapist to become certified as a Yoga Instructor.

I continued to deepen my understanding of the energetics of guiding others to heal through becoming a Chakradance instructor, and merging movement and intentional guided yoga into my own style of flow called ChakraYo.

My passion to hold space for others to heal themselves led me to become certified in Reiki Levels 1 and 2 and continue my education in Healers Training.

My love for facilitating and inspiring others to step into their most authentic lives and divine purpose continues by creating conscious events and sacred circles at my Sunshine Sanctuary in California.

I founded Sunshine Journey to have a platform after many years of training and planning and experiencing a tremendous amount of life’s ups and downs to create a safe container for others to see their true beauty, become more conscious, adventure and explore other lands as well as their inner terrain.

My highest desire is to be a vessel to assist others to tap into their purpose and live their most vibrant and healthy life and increase their personal vibration to collectively raise the energy of love on the planet.

JOIN ME ON THE JOURNEY☀️☀️☀️☀️
