"
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls appeared before."
Namaste and Happy New Year dear Friends and Family,
This past week I've been thinking about what new intention I could set to bring in the new year. As you read this in the spirit of beginnings, you also may have set a New Years resolution. For me, I am inspired by our surroundings here at
Present Moment Retreat where, the word 'Bliss' comes to my mind.
There are different states or feelings of bliss, but the state I refer to for this new year, for 2019, is the blissful feeling of peace with oneself. Bliss can also be happiness, joy, the ecstasy of salvation and spiritual joy. Though, by focusing on finding peace with oneself, only then can all other feelings of bliss align. To find peace with ourselves, to find our happiness and our state of pure bliss should be our main goals.
Whatever your intention or resolution for this new year, we are here to help. You've been our inspiration throughout the years and will continue to be in 2019.
We wish to thank all our Present Moment family, friends and guests for their continued support. We look forward to sharing our paradise here with you in this new and exciting year.
Namaste-

"An exceptional place to relax and restore!...
I first visited Present Moment in 2009 and it's been calling me back ever since. The hotel had only been open a short time when I first visited so everything was new, fresh and beautiful. I wasn't sure if visit #2 was going to live up to expectations both from an aesthetic and from an experience point of view. Sometimes, these small boutique hotels can get run down and tired and they tend to focus less on service. I have to say I was beautifully surprised!! The second I walked onto the grounds, it took me back. The accommodations, the food, the service and the staff were all exceptional. The yoga, meditation and ceremonies are world class and the climate and authentic Mexican culture found in Troncones are superb. The town is extremely safe for walking around day or night and, if you travel alone, there are always other travelers to socialize with if that's what you want to do. Present Moment has an incredible culture. People respect if you want alone time and they welcome you in if you're feeling like social time. It's the most amazing place to heal, rest, relax and have fun!! If you go here you won't be disappointed. Just be ready to want to keep going back!"

Women Building Connections Retreat w/ Fusion Studios
Each year, Marsha Nieland of Fusion Yoga Studio hosts a women's yoga retreat in Mexico. This week-long retreat in a tropical location at the end of February is a wonderful opportunity to step away from day-to-day responsibilities. The retreat offers an opportunity to disconnect from the "real world" of technology, work and family, and is an incredible opportunity to connect on a deeper level in areas that I care about. The retreat offers the opportunity to spend a week focused on all of these connections in a way that your regular life doesn't allow.
