We will journey into San Miguel connecting with the culture and art of this
stunning city. We will interact with the people of SMA through opportunities

We will bring back our stories each day and express them in a creative art
experience. There will be a balance of structured time and personal time.
We will restore, connect, explore, discover, create, move, learn, express, give
back, be nourished and enjoy! What we do with our hearts affects the
whole Universe....so what shall we bring back?

Alex Yonkovig is a recent graduate
from the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte where she
received her BA in Psychology with
a minor in Women and Gender
Studies. She completed her 200
hour yoga teacher training in March
of 2012 on the eve of her 21st
birthday and has been a dedicated
yoga practitioner for 5 years.
She is driven and inspired by the
mind/body connection and has
dedicated her intentions to
cultivating that profound power.
Alex will be leading retreat
participants in daily restorative
yoga and meditation, giving insight
into how movement and release in
the body can facilitate emotional
and physical transformations.
Art for a Better Planet is dedicated to helping people nd a greater sense of connection through the arts. Based on the belief
that loss of connection to self, others, community, environment, and Spirit is a primary cause of strife individually and globally,
Dana Endsley creates artwork and designs workshops/retreats that allow the viewer or participant an opportunity to explore this
need to connect.
The building block of Danas artwork and workshops is story. She has found through her years of work in the healing arts and
leading workshops that telling our stories is one of the most healing things we can do. When we share our stories and hear
the stories of others a deeper connection is formed and compassion results.
