We are being called to tend our Fire through direct experience and integration. To allow ourselves to be divinely molded, to let our Hearts be softened and opened, to release pain and trauma around the Heart revealing our Radiance in service of others.
And we don't just do this for ourselves, we tend the Fire of our Heart because our clients need it, our families need it, our communities need it.
Come to Sri Lanka, land of Fire dancers, and let your Fire be tended to by the land, the food, the people.

Your Heart, your Center, your Fire
What lights you up?
What guides your way?
What is it like when you feel truly awake and alive?
This is a reflection of your Fire
Does loneliness or isolation haunt you despite the relationships in your life?
Do you get distracted or simply lose your sizzle when you're just on the edge of taking a leap?
Do you struggle with feeling loved, receiving or believing love, loving others?
Do betrayals of trust frequent your life experience?
This is a reflection of your Fire
What do you long to create?
What does your Heart ache for?
What warms your Being and sparks your radiance?
This is a reflection of your Fire
Fire = the emblem of your Soul Flame.
Heart = The guru, the North Star, your guiding principle.
Fire ~ Heart = You, Authentic & Radiant you
Come to Sri Lanka, land that overflows with gems, and tend your Heart-Fire, warm your bones, reignite your Passion and Purpose.
Come to Sri Lanka, land of Fire dancers, and let your Fire be tended to by the land, the food, the people.
Come to Sri Lanka, land of extraordinary natural luster richness and beauty and allow your Fire to come alive, to transmute stuck patterning, and to glow with all of the Light and passion that you are.
The disconnect and distrust between the mind and the Heart is reflected ‘inside’ each of us and ‘outside’ each of us. It’s part of deep cultural conditioning or entrainment. Because of this the Fire in our Heart suffers... we suffer.
Understanding and healing the Fire Element, literally and alchemically, internally and externally, is key to living a rich, integrated and passion-filled life.
It's not enough any longer to sit back and learn about Fire Element through books and lectures. We are being called to tend our Fire through direct experience and integration. To allow ourselves to be divinely molded, to let our Hearts be softened and opened, to release pain and trauma around the Heart revealing our Radiance in service of others.
Understand Fire Element in ways that you could have never imagined. Viscerally experience the gifts of Fire at every level of being. Allow for the depth of transmission of this Element to forever alter your Heart; releasing more of You into the world.
In this video below I share about the land of Sri Lanka, the calling to do this work and the unique blessings of this particular retreat. If you are considering this retreat, please watch.

Be nourished more deeply than you can imagine

Fire Birth optional additional retreat:
If you are ready to birth a project, a passion, a calling, then you may wish to stay on with me, travel up into the tea lands and stay 4 nights/5days a-top a mountain of quartz crystal. Here I will be working one on one with you to to open passageways for birth; midwifing soul integration and discovery whilst clearing ancestral entanglements or blockages. I'll be crossing between worlds on your behalf to clarify and call in that which beckons you. With small group (only 4 people) alchemy we will seriously illuminate what Spirit is asking for in and through you. We'll also be taking significant and concrete steps every day to bring this into form. The accountability and support for your birth continues after the retreat ends.
This work is seriously potent is not for everyone. If any of the bullet points below spark you're Heart, then please watch the video below...
- You are ready to allow the radiance and fullness of Spirits calling to come through you into manifestation
- You have a project or dream (book, retreat, show, etc) that you are ready to REALLY let come out
- You know that spirit is calling you to something more, you're Heart is ready (despite the fear that comes up), but you don't know how to allow it to come through, to flow and manifest. Or perhaps are unclear on the form it wants to take.
- You have been 'blocked' for a while and you've had enough of stalling
- You have no problem creating and birthing but can feel that you need deeper integration, healing and stability to birth what is next
It is all inclusive* and hosted at Galavilla Boutique Hotel, luxury in an eco-friendly establishment.
*Participants will be paying for the shuttle to and from the hotel

About the Land and Monara Retreat House
Sri Lanka is the home of the most magnificent spice essential oils. And part of this retreat is devoted to visiting the lands from which they come, and seeing these plants within their natural habitat.
Sri Lanka is also home to unbelievably delicious and Earth element healing foods and dishes. You will have the opportunity to take cooking classes with our retreat chef.
Many of the teachings around Fire make reference to our passion, our Soul Center, and what makes us feel safe and also alive. Monara Retreat house is a sweet and loving "Home" filled with aromas from Indra's cooking, and Chandrae's delightful laughter (the garden man and supplier of our incredible coconuts). It's a stunning and beautiful retreat place to hold, nourish and ignite us, located about 1 ½ to 2 hours south of Colombo (main city with airport). The nearest city is Bentota, although Monara is tucked up on a hill at the edge of a small village. It's on a nature reserve and wetlands. You will wake up to divine bird song every morning. Monara House is 5 kilometers from the beach and ideally located for day excursions.
Rooms are either single (private) with fans, or shared accommodations with AC. There will be up to 9 retreat guests allowing for deeper exploration and healing on all levels. You will enjoy a gorgeous infinity pool for playing and soaking, gardens for relaxing in (I'm sure Chandrae can't wait to show you around 'his' garden!), and outdoor areas for movement or chanting/singing. The village is a 5 to 10 minute walk and we'll go there on 'Farmers Market' day. The locals are some of the kindest folk I have ever known.
The food is… well, beyond magnificent; the fragrances and flavors literally heal the body and mind. You will be surrounding by the elements, the lush green, the beautiful water within the pool and canal, the moist and rich earth, and the warm breezes that make their way through the trees.
We have an exceptional Ayurvedic practitioner who stays on site with us and offers all sorts of traditional healing treatments at incredible rates (sessions range from $5.00 - $35.00). Her traditional head and foot massage with medicinal oils is absolutely divine!
February is a nice time in Sri Lanka. The temperature is very pleasant: 70’s at night, and 80’s during the day with cleansing rains that may come and go. Humidity is high, which may take some getting used to. The food and spice helps you acclimate and your skin will love it!
THE FIRE ~ HEART uniquely radiant retreat offers a powerful medicine and antidote for so much that we suffer with at this time. And it’s not just about the experience while you are there. This is about ‘remembering’ and creating fundamental energetic changes in your tissues and cells so that you can transmit the Medicine of ALL Elements upon your return home.
If you are ready to transform your relationship to Fire and all Elements, myself and Sri Lanka welcome you with open arms, essential oils, wisdom, embodied movement, play and a healing passageway to do so. Beauty, stability and clarity await us as we allow the heavy undercurrents of stuck energy to evaporate off.
February 1st - 7th with option for staying until the 11th, 2018
Begins with lunch on the 1st and ends with breakfast on the 7th or 11th (see details)
Early Bird Tuition:
$ 1098.00
*Retreat tuition increases to $1,298.00 December 1st, 2017
The cost covers all meals except on days with outings, serine and beautiful accommodations for 6 nights and 7 days, all facilitation and teaching materials, cooking classes, spice EO’s for treating and healing sessions, plus transportation and admissions to outings and other adventures.
An incredible value for all that you will receive and participate in.
*Flights and shuttle to retreat not included. Ayurvedic healing treatments not included but offered by appointment at greatly discounted prices for our guests.
The Heart Fire ~ Sri Lanka Travel Information
FLIGHTS:
You will be flying into Colombo International Airport also known as Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB). There are many airlines that fly into this location including Sri Lankan Airlines, Emirates, Qatar, and Etihad Airlines. We suggest starting with an Expedia (or similar site) search. This will provide a list of possible airlines and cost range. The general cost from both East and West coasts to Sri Lanka ranges from $900.00 on up, round trip. Once you have chosen your airline you can then continue booking on third party site or directly with the airline. I have found that booking through the airline site provides more clarity and options (meal types, seats, etc).
Remember that a full day will be added on the way there due to cross of date line. In addition, travel times can range from 18 to 30 hours (depending on layovers).
We strongly suggest arriving one day before the start of the retreat. There are hotels near the airport that are absolutely lovely. You will be in good hands. So plan to fly in, arriving by January 31st at the latest. You can spend one night at the suggested hotel below and then a shuttle can pick up a group of you to take you down to Monara House on February 1st. We have a suggested shuttle service (see below). They are aware of our retreat and we can work together with you to arrange the pick up (you are responsible for cost of shuttle which will be $25.00 - $40.00).
You may choose to stay in Sri Lanka after the retreat is over. We recommend it! Sri Lanka is an absolutely incredible country. I have no doubt you will fall in love. The food is... yummmm... you will see just how delicious and nourishing, the people are the most kind and hospitable that I have ever experienced.
I have contacts that can help you should you like to plan excursions; simply let me know and I'll connect you. There are a few other suggestions for people who can help with planning travel below. It is also fairly easy to plan your own excursions. We suggest getting a car a driver. It is very affordable and allows for a more relaxing time. :)

IMMUNIZATIONS
There are no required immunizations for travel to Sri Lanka, although there are suggested ones (ones that most US citizens already have). You can find out more about this topic here:
http://www.tmb.ie/destinations/vaccinations-for-sri-lanka
http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/sri-lanka
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Plan to bring covered shoes for walking, layered clothing for night time, sunscreen, bathing suit, bug spray, a rain jacket, comfortable loose clothing for movement sessions, a journal and pen, camera, a photocopy of your passport to keep separately. I will send all registrants a complete and very helpful written and audio guide to support you through the planning, packing and traveling process.
Mosquitos that carry disease are prevalent all over the world. Some mosquitoes in Sri Lanka carry dengue fever, which can be easily prevented. As a foreign traveler it’s important to take precautions. Please bring bug spray or essential oils to prevent mosquito bites. If you choose to use a spray with “deet” please be respectful of others who are sensitive to chemicals and only use outside away from housing areas. We will also be making our effective bug spray together.
The dengue fever area is concentrated around Colombo and a couple other large cites. We have had no problem with dengue in our area, and in fact the mosquitos are less at Monara House than many other ares of the country.
Most Sri Lankans speak english and are very eager to help Americans. It is quite easy to communicate and get around there.
Refund Policy:
There are no refunds after December 15th, 2017 unless there is a documented medical emergency.
Up until that date full refund less $100.00 is given
Instructor biographies:
Tiffany Carole is a teacher and a Medicine woman. Her purpose is to digest and transmit the fundamental essence and language of energetic medicine; and to illuminate the emergent ‘building blocks of the Universe’ so that we may step into our roles as conscious co-creators.
She has trail blazed the consciousness explorers way ‘in and down’ while simultaneously moving ‘up and out’ both in time, no-time, space and non-space. Her gift is to not only bridge worlds, but also to make this process transparent and illuminated so that others may do the same.
Tiffany is a “teacher of teachers” taking under her wings the gifted, sensitive leaders of today and with whole heart in service, incubating their gestations and births of brilliance. She busts out of old and constricting paradigms without disrespecting our ancestral past. And she does this for the sake of all souls, that they may sprout, grow, flower and bloom into the divine blueprint of their seed. That we may all become our most natural, unencumbered selves.
Tiffany has an uncanny way of of honoring both the western and eastern philosophical mind and perceptions in such a way that allows transcendence of opposites while not denying the reality of polarity in the third dimension. She studied biochemistry at Schreiner University, and Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine at Bastyr University.
Tiffany is a published author of Chinese and Energetic Medicine articles, adjunct faculty at Bastyr University, and has been practicing the art and science of energetic medicine professionally for over 15 years at her clinic outside Seattle W.A, Synergy Wellness Center. Additionally Peter Holmes and Tiffany co-created a potent system of pairing key essential oils with acupoints, facilitating extraordinary shifts in body-mind-soul. This is called Aroma Acupoint Therapy. Currently they facilitate these trainings all over the United States as well as train other practitioners to teach this modality.
Tiffany facilitates Master Healer groups on both the west and east coasts, assisting healers of all varieties to step fully and magnificently into their super and subtle powers and brilliance.
