TAOlife Newsletter / April 2016 / TAO Mexico

Dear TAO Family and Friends,

One thing that many of us love in common about the Riviera Maya is the power and beauty of nature. The ancient Maya’s and many modern masters of stress management, health, success and well-being would tell you a simple and powerful life lesson: let nature be your guide.

Since the beginning of human time human beings have let nature instruct them on how to live well and how to adapt to the countless regions of the world. Nature has provided us with medicine, inspiration for art, and colorful patterns by which we design our clothes and households. Nature also acts as a metaphor and a symbolic force by which we may take our cues to reflect, renew, or create change.

Summer-like heat is moving in as we have crossed into spring the Riviera Maya. This heat, the endless blue skies, and warmer waters are a call to connect with the natural world in our Mexican home. Now is the time to explore cenotes, new beaches and hidden lagunas. The warmth and exotic settings of our region are an incredible setting for an experience of renewal. When you go explore, take an intention, make your travels into a special ritual of release, cleansing or even to seek a new energy on your life.

My quote of the month: Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory - George S. Patton

Have a great month everyone!

Xcacel Beach

COMING UP IN MAY!

Havana, Cuba May 2016

Close your eyes for a moment and imagine you are there. Waves crashing against a mildewed sea wall; a young couple cavorting in a dark, dilapidated alley; guitars and voices harmonizing over a syncopated drum rhythm; sunlight slanting across rotten peeling paintwork; a handsome youth in a guayabera shirt leaning against a Lada; the smell of diesel fumes and cheap after-shave; tourists with Hemingway beards; Che Guevara on a billboard, a banknote, a key-ring, a t-shirt…

 

RECIPE: Mexican fish tacos

TAOs Top Tip:

Enjoying a refreshing swim at Cenote Calavera

Nationwide, April 30th

Cenote Calavera, which means “Skull Cave”, is also known as “Temple of Doom”. It is located just outside of Tulum, on the road to Coba. Completely different from any other cavern in the area, the entrance passes through a round hole on the surface rock. The adventure starts almost immediately, as you need to jump about 3m to the water’s surface. The cavern area is a huge rooms with a hill of sediments and rocks in the center.
