Chanti Tacoronte-Perez

Chanti Tacoronte-Perez is a Cuban-American artist-author, ritualist, and non-clinical depth psychologist. She believes that images speak a profound language; she spends her time translating the unseen and advocating for the imaginal. She is currently working on her doctoral dissertation on navigating the liminal via a creative-divinatory journey as an“Other way”to translate the image of the wound—that part of us that has been marginalized, forgotten, or silenced. Chanti teaches workshops and collaborative trainings that center imagination, creativity, dreaming, deep rest, and Yoga Nidra. Her passion is to inspire all to rediscover their creative self by resting, weaving the blessings with the wounds while honoring the land and ancestors.

Weekend retreat stay

The property is on a beautiful, peaceful location.
Nature is all around and sometimes a little too close but you are literally surrounded by woods.

The food was really good and I liked the buffet style and fruit basket.

The gift shop although small had a nice selection of items and I purchased a few fun items.

Since the dining area was on the opposite side of the site from the convention center, a lot of students drove back and forth on the property. I chose the walking paths to get around.
