Post-Retreat Excursion
Monday (*Optional group trip to Focal Tonal vortex 9 am - 4 pm)
This a whole day excursion including transportation and lunch
There is an additional fee of $100 CAD for this “add on” excursion
Foco Tonal, outside the small town of Cuitzeo, is known for its vortex that causes your voice to echo as if you were in a chamber, rather than standing outside within a low tile wall, on a pentagram. Is it cosmic energy or simply acoustic reverberation? Who knows, but in 1998 a “miraculous” healing took place and the owner of the castle agreed to the evolution of Foco Tonal as a public place of healing and wonderment. You can read more about the vortex HERE.
Focal Tonal trip fee includes lunch, transportation, a guided meditation at the vortex and park entrance fees.
