Mind, Body, Soul: Finding Balance in Antigua
I know why I chose Antigua as my destination of choice to kick off my 2023. What I didn't realize is that the healing itself is embedded in every cultural experience that awaits you on the Island!
The fact that I arrived on the Island in the thick of Wellness month and was able to leave the experience with new and thriving personal and professional relationships was not only icing on the cake for me, but also a true reflection of the Island's ability to aid in manifesting your wildest desires! But I digress. You're here because you wanna know why YOU need to book your next vacation there. Let's get into it...
Here are my top 3 reasons why, at any given time of year, Antigua is THE destination for wellness and elevation:
You can farm and forage your own food for optimal attention to what you put in your body during your wellness sabbatical at Colesome Market!
One of the most sacred experiences I was able to indulge in was farming my own fruits, vegetables, and herbs to create a culinary experience for exclusive guests on the Island. Almost everywhere you dine, you are consuming products tended by people from the land- not big corporations. The energy and intent placed in carefully selecting each ingredient is an act of Self Love that we should all experience at least once in this lifetime.
For those seeking mental clarity and/or spiritual development to navigate your healing or attain certain breakthroughs in life, you can immerse yourself in the essence of the land with a visit to Humble and Free Wadadli! There, I was able to immerse myself in the culture of Antigua and experience the land in the most sacred and authentic way: with the Rastafarian community.
Most surprising to me was that the entire compound is an entire village which is comprised of farmland, the Tabernacle, and plantation ruins. The sense of community is, indeed, humbling. I got up close and personal with the beautiful Rastafarian people , where the “ital” cooking culture, is their way of life. It’s a culture where the principles of the community is to eat the food grown from the land around them, unmodified and in its natural state.
Lastly, and which could easily be my number 1 reason you need to make Antigua your Island destination of choice for wellness: There's no safer place to release all your inhibitions and create new possibilities for the life you are curating on your wellness journey!
When I tell you that I felt safe and catered to from the moment I landed til the second I took flight, I could not exaggerate that sentiment! Not only did I feel safe as a solo traveling melanated woman, but that feeling of safety truly allowed me to release all inhibitions and create some amazing friendships during my visit! I wish you this same traveling grace for your wellness getaway to Antigua.
If you are searching for a beautiful destination and are seeking a sacred space to safely “return to self” and connect to the land, then look no further. When you are ready, allow me to curate your bespoke getaway to Antigua! Your authentic wellness destination is just a contact away.
