For the past year I have been getting a pull to go towards the raw vegan lifestyle, mostly because it makes you feel awesome! Like attracts like and I have been coming in contact with more and more raw foodists such as Jenny Cook. She contacted me to design her raw food retreat website for swimming with dolphins and incorporating raw food. Naturally, I learned even more about the lifestyle through this project.

How did you begin the Raw Dolphins vacations?

Ten years ago I found myself on an extraordianry spiritual quest that took me from my ancestral roots and Ireland’s pagan sites, to the Mayan Pyramids in Central America and onto the island of Bimini in the Bahamas where I began my life work with wild dolphins & the history of Atlantis. More recently I trained at the Hippocrates Health Institute in South Florida and graduated as a Natural Health Educator. I decided to take a leap of faith and pieced together all the elements that had personally changed my life for the better. I started “Raw Dolphins”, offering 10 day residential retreats on the island of Bimini, swimming with wild dolphins, teaching about raw living vegan foods, yoga, meditation & breathwork.

What began as a journey of finding myself and what worked for me, has spiralled into a transformational path of healing & interconnectedness for the pods of people who come on our retreats. Bimini is a vortex of energy where “letting go” is inevitable and finding yourself amidst a supportive group environment is the norm. Friendships are formed for life, health is rejuvinated and the dolphins are the icing on the (raw) cake! Diving down in crystal clear turquiose water, with dolphins surrounding you gazing deep into your eyes and soul, their sonar resonating throughout your body as it recharges your every cell. Inane grins abound on the boat as we dance on board heading home into the sunset, blissed out yet again. Another day in paradise, finished off with gourmet raw vegan delights to tantilize your tastebuds and sooth your soul. It doesn’t get any better than this!

How has the internet helped your business?

Since creating my website with Heather I have been exposed to a myriad of wonderful connections through the web, bringing new people who have either had a calling to be with the dolphins, or simply want to kick start their raw journey. Others who, having heard of the prophecies connected to Bimini and Atlantis feel they are “coming home” and feel safe to share their own journey within a group of this kind. Each year this portal brings new and unexpected joyful connections, that form life long friendships as we form our human pod, just as the dolphins teach us.
