T H I S R E T R E A T I S F O R Y O U I F: You are a seeker, an explorer, an adventurer. (Or are just aspiring to be!) Your spiritual growth has become stagnant, and you're craving a deeper connection with the Divine. You're looking to learn more about nutrition, fitness, stress-relief techniques, injury prevention, self-care... and how to practice those in a real-world setting. You like to stay active while you travel and you like to balance that activity with amazing food, cocktails, and belly laughs, and plenty of relaxation! You appreciate the comforts a beautiful resort offers, but are also seeking an experience of adventure, connection to local culture, and personal growth. You appreciate getting "off the beaten path."

You like tropical beaches, lush rainforests, the ocean, palm trees, and you've always wanted a reason to explore Fiji.

YOUR GUIDES: January Newland I'm so excited to share this retreat with you because it blends together my biggest passions: helping people discover their healthiest & most radiant self, through nourishing food, fun fitness, and travel! I'm drawn to places where life moves a little slower. Where people live simply, and are more connected to the natural world around them, and to each other. Fiji embodies this for me. There's a slower pace; an appreciation for life that's contagious, and a kindness amongst the Islanders that resonates with me and draws me back. My goal for this retreat is to help you find balance in healthy living! I believe in exercise that feels fun, and food that nourishes AND tastes amazing. I believe that a life well-lived involves feeding your soul as well as your body. I hope you'll join us in the South Pacific. I'd love to climb up hills with you, inspire you to try new things, help you move your body in ways that work the best for you. I'd love to see you sun-kissed and shining brightly, cheeks flushed from a yoga session (or a Mai-Tai) soaking up every minute of this beautiful life Melissa Love As a former Atheist, I've spent the past 15 years awakening to the Divine within me and all around me. Abuse, anger and cancer have been my greatest teachers. Faith, hope, yoga and meditation have been my saviors. I've been on the awakened path of spiritual development for 15 years, studying yoga, energy medicine, metaphysics and mysticism. I co-founded MOSAIC in 2010 with the vision to Awaken & Uplift the consciousness of the world, one Soul at a time. I strive to serve as an inspiring guide to those who are exploring the mystery of the Divine. Prior to co-founding MOSAIC, I spent over a decade working in corporate HR. In addition to holding a B.A. from James Madison University, I am a Certified Reiki Master Teacher, Yoga Teacher, MOSAIC Visionary, CEO and team lead for MOSAIC s Soul Programs.
