After chatting for what feels like hours, you join a yoga class followed by an outrageous seafood dinner with your new friends taking in the ocean’s crystal clear water and sultry breezes.

Recovering from a most awesome meal (and over-the-top chocolate desert) you get changed and ready to get your salsa dancing groove on with a Dominican rum cocktail in hand!

And that’s just DAY ONE of your VORTEX adventure!

So what is VORTEX???

  • VORTEX is an EXPERIENCE – and powerful convergence of energies and ideas for Wanderlust Entrepreneurs (and yes, men and women are invited).

    Picture a positive energetic whirlwind of learning, inspiration, passion, joy, and gratitude spiraling out into your life, business and the world, with YOU standing in the center – in service to ourselves AND our precious planet.

    VORTEX is THE event to align your mind, body, soul with your deepest desires for community, travel, transformation, and a fulfilling and abundant business.

  • YASSSSS!

VORTEX is NOT to be Missed!

At VORTEX, You Decide…

No set curriculum here! YOU decide what you want to do, based on what YOU most want and need. And every day you’ll have a smorgasbord of choices.

So you pick…

…whether you want more on the practical side of how to run a business from anywhere in the world for example, how to be a better marketer so you can attract your ideal clients for your events, retreats or programs using the latest online strategies…

…or whether you’re looking for the spiritual side – on how to use your divine guidance, nurture a positive mindset and bring your sacred work into the world to create a business that’s sustainable for life…

…or you feel the need to express yourself creatively and physically through art, yoga, dance and movement!

Or… ALL OF THE ABOVE! (yes, please!)

Whatever classes you choose to attend (and that’s totally up to you) – you’ll craft your own personal VORTEX experience because only your soul knows exactly what you need.

Whether it’s a…

  • workshop that enables you to re-invent your business, or craft a transformational retreat…
  • an art class to amp up your creative juices…
  • a movement class to get your blood flowing…
  • or downtime to simply stare out at the ocean or have a long conversation with your new BFF

it’s totally your jam.

The best part is not only are WE (Sheri & Meghan) teaching but so are YOUour community – and we’re harnessing the cream-of-the-crop to make this event the most heart-felt experience on the planet!

**PS: Make sure if you want to teach at the event that you fill out our application!

No Stale Conference Rooms

We’re all about balls-to-bones experiences that fire up your body, mind, business AND creative soul.

Plus, we’re allergic to dark, stale conference rooms – so there’s going to be plenty of opportunities to learn and grow through epic outdoor activities, adventures, and custom-crafted ceremonies. Yes!!!!

Whether you’re swimming in crystal waters, flying through the air, or do some seriously epic learning – we’ve got a way for you to experience new thrills, ease into relaxing and tranquil moments or party the night away with exciting evening entertainment.

And please – don’t worry if don’t feel like doing any of the activities, you don’t have to unless you want to.

No Selling, No Sponsors

You can breathe a sigh of relief because at VORTEX, there’s no upsells, downsells, pitches, biz offers, sponsors or program selling of any kind.

We purposefully designed this entrepreneurial experience to allow you to truly connect person-to-person, heart-to-heart, soul-to-soul.

We’re here to support and help each other while making life-long friends – sharing the best of our kind, generous hearts AND our business savvy and expertise.

And just to be clear, this is NOT a “networking” business event, with that superficial “what-can-I-get-from-you” kind of vibe. NO. This is about putting your phone down and actually having a CONVERSATION and getting real. 

Step Away from Your Screen

Being an entrepreneur sitting in front of your computer all day can be lonely. And it’s easy to get lost working IN your business, rather than ON your business.

There’s nothing like putting yourself in a creative environment of like-minded souls and exposing yourself to new ideas and ways of doing things.

So it’s time to head to this private island resort, take in the crystalline-blue ocean views, slow down, and come back energized, with an innovative perspective, newly discovered soul sisters and brothers, and the answers to questions you’ve been pondering in your business for months

Are you in?

I want the connections, content + crazy good time!

If you want to see our eyes light up, just mention the words “travel, business and transformation” in one sentence…

Meghan Gilroy

Shamanic Business Coach + Co-Director @ Wanderlust Entrepreneur

Welcome to YOUR Tribe, Wanderluster!

Does your soul yearn to explore places exotic and magical?
Do you desire to live with purpose, passion and a dash of magic?
Do you believe you’re here to make a difference in the world?

  • or relocating abroad for a few months (or even longer)
  • or packing up the kids and exposing them to a new culture and language for the summer.

It’s all about creating an online business that gives you the FREEDOM to travel AND work without missing a beat – and to be able to do it YOUR way.

#howdoyouwanderlust?

So maybe you’re not quite there…..YET.

No worries, that’s okay.

Together let’s work on growing you a thriving online business that lights up your soul.

Whether you want to explore the road less traveled or an uber-modern city – all you need is a laptop and a wi-fi connection – and we’d love to show you how.

What can you do at VORTEX?

Play in the turquoise waters…

Experience a powerful group ceremony…

Chill with a drink and new friends…

Get into the swing of things with aerial acrobatics…

Connect with like-minded souls…

Learn an epic new business strategy…

Explore a creative class…

Dance to music, get your groove on…

Just BE.

Your Island Digs Away from Home

Michès Playa Esmeralda is the ultimate luxury – a hidden, untouched island gem in the Caribbean, ready to nurture YOU with some tender, loving care.

In fact, we’ll be the first group guests at this newly-opened Club Med located on a pristine bay tucked away in the tropical forest canopies of the Dominican Republic.

This chic eco-friendly resort haven is our secret island hideaway (shhhh!) surrounded by a lush palm grove – perfect to decompress, rejuvenate, collect hot new ideas for your business (and life) and make cool new friends.

We’ll be nestled into the Caribbean Paradise Boutique Village within the resort, which is known for it’s tropical vibe, festive colors and rhythms that reflect the local way of life.

Awesome Island Activities

Don’t feel like joining a workshop – just need time to reboot or want to take a break from the mind-expanding content?

Whether you’re exploring the fitness school, flying trapeze and circus activities (you’ll be sure to spot Meghan there!), archery classes, yoga (as in acroyoga, paddleboard yoga, gravity yoga), the climbing school, horseback riding on the beach or running trails – we’ve got the perfect experience for you!

For the more adventurous among us, you can explore JetSurfing (electric surfboarding),  hop on a Hobie Eclipse (don’t know what that is? Watch the video and see!), paddle-board, kayak or even snorkel.

(*FYI: all activities are included except horseback riding, boating and kite-boarding – those DO have an extra charge.)

You can get your groove on at a Latin dance class – maybe meringue, salsa or bachata (this style of dance originated in the Dominican Republic!)…come on y’all, you’ve got to shake that booty to work the food off!

Or perhaps grab a few rays on the private guests-only beach or maybe lounging by the pool is more your pace?

Awesome. We’ve got you covered.

Ready to treat yourself?  Then don’t miss the Cinq Mondes Spa complete with its reflexology-and-relaxation areas, sauna, hydrotherapy treatments, steam room and hot-and-cold plunge baths!

Ahhhhhh……. can you feel yourself unwinding already?

Off-Site Excursions

If that’s not enough for you and you want to explore the natural, off-property scenery, then you can sign up for an optional extra off-site adventure through Michès Playa Esmeralda’s excursions program including:

  • Laguna Limon, a natural reserve with the stunning 170-foot high Limón waterfall

 

  • Samaná Bay, a group of protected islands and coral reef teeming with wildlife with native flora, well-known for humpback whale watching

 

  • Montaña Redonda, the famous “rounded mountain” with 360-degree views of the surrounding flourishing landscape and its photo-famous swing

Food for Foodies

A huge part of the reason we travel is for the delicious dishes from all over the world that we don’t get to experience at home, right? Well, Michès Playa Esmeralda won’t disappoint.

Whether you’re in the mood for fresh local sizzling seafood with a Caribbean vibe, or want to be dazzled as the chefs show off their skills at the “asado” (charcoal grill made famous in Argentina) or crave sneaking into the secret hidden Caramel Room with it’s treasure chest of sweet delights, there’s local and international menus in the 4 restaurants, 5 bars, and wine cellar.

From high-end buffet options with chic and modern “action stations” to an à la carte menu of specialties, you can dig into comfort foods you’ll recognize or lean towards more refined and sophisticated flavors.

Want to try some local specialties?

Be brave and dig into the sancocho (a stew of seven different meats, and vegetables) or pica pollo (fried chicken with bananas), and if you still have room – try some tostones (banana fritters) or chaca (sweet milk with cinnamon and coconut milk) for dessert!

Or better yet, indulge yourself with a creamy frozen yogurt, a yummy pastry or a killer chocolate éclair. 

The best part? ALL meals are included so you can sample and savor to your heart’s delight. Oh, and did we mention there was an indoor climbing wall in the bar? Seriously.

Have special dietary needs? The kitchens are happy to meet any needs, including but not limited to: vegetarian, Kosher, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and more!

Cocktails + Cappuccinos on Us!

You’ll receive all-inclusive beverages at VORTEX. Yep, you read that right.

Start the morning with complimentary barista-style coffee, a fancier cappuccino or a soothing herbal tea.

Slide on over to an open bar for a signature cocktail, glass of wine or an ice-cold beer throughout the day. Pair your dinner with the perfect glass of wine – always included, always premium.

Or just kick back with your choice of soft drinks and sparkling waters.

No matter where you are on the island and what you fancy, there’s NO bar or beverage tab – EVER!

I’m on the plane!

Who’s Teaching at this Event?

Dr. Sheri Rosenthal
Chief Retreat Enthusiast + Director @Wanderlust Entrepreneur

Hi! I’m Sheri Rosenthal and like many of you I’m a coach, author, speaker, and retreat leader.

After 18 years of practicing medicine and being trapped in an office, my biggest fantasy was creating a lifestyle that allowed me to travel, work, and live anywhere in the world. When I sold my practice, I felt like I could FINALLY create my dream life.

That was back in 1998 and after leaving medicine, I started studying and working for don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements. I became a retreat junkie and in 2003, I created my own travel agency, Journeys of the Spirit.

I went on to create The Retreat Blueprint Program and in THREE SHORT YEARS, I created a 7-figure business teaching thousands of heart-centered entrepreneurs how to add transformational retreats to their business as well as teaching them how to create successful retreat-ready businesses!

However – my business was still not totally online, I was not location free, didn’t have a virtual team and still used manila file folders.

Thankfully NOW that I’m properly set up for travel, I can be gone for as long as I like, and I can totally run my business from wherever I am and I consider myself 100% a Wanderlust Entrepreneur.

That’s why we’ve created VORTEX so our community can come together, inspire each other to create our dream businesses, earn great income sharing our soul talents – while traveling the world and making a difference.

This event is literally going to change your ENTIRE business and life!

Meghan Gilroy
Shamanic Business Coach + Co-Director @Wanderlust Entrepreneur

Hey! I’m Meghan Gilroy, I bring the heart and healing at Wanderlust Entrepreneur and a mad mix of intuitive shamanic practices  and hard-core business coaching.

Here’s what I know: For your business to grow, YOU must grow. Then your message, branding, offerings and marketing can flow from there. For us heart-based folks, your business must reflect your soul’s purpose or you and your business just won’t thrive.

My own personal growth + evolution has come from being a spiritual entrepreneur. I was born into a goal-oriented entrepreneurial family (of an accountant no less), then in my 20’s was hit over the head with life’s cosmic two-by-four.

Desperate to understand why my world was falling apart, I studied and eventually co-taught with don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements, who named me a shaman and spiritual leader of my generation. Later, I had the pleasure of running his retreat business with Sheri.

Since then, I’ve co-created two 7-figure businesses and figured out how to take my healing and coaching practice from a hobby to working with thousands of spiritual entrepreneurs like you from all over the world.

Today, I revel in being able to work from home in a small mountain town since I’m location independent, drop by my kiddos’ school events anytime since I set my own schedule, and be able to dash off to stunning locations around the globe with my now retired hubby and family in tow.

So how do YOU want to create a business and life that’s your work of art, one that’s soul fulfilling and harmonious? Join us at VORTEX so we can nurture you, and your sacred work in this world together.

So you will receive 50% off the event pricing plus a pre-event group coaching session with Sheri & Meghan so you can make the most of this opportunity.

What’s your cancellation policy?

After December 1st, 2019, any cancellation will result in a total loss of your $500 USD deposit. Any cancellation made between: January 1st, 2020 and March 31st, 2020 will result in a loss of 50% of the trip price. Any cancellation made between: April 1st, 2020 and the trip departure will result in a total loss of funds. Should you have to cancel your attendance, you must advise us at: awesomeness@wanderlustentrepreneur.com and receive a written response back from Mel our office manager. 

We reserve the right to cancel the trip if it is not meeting the trip minimum (if we do so, your funds are refunded in full). Trip cancellation insurance is always recommended whenever making travel plans. You can use our suggested Travel Guard Insurance online and choose from several policy options.

I need a roommate – how do I arrange that?

So many folks are looking for roommates and we love that!

Simply post in our event Facebook group and we bet you’ll get LOTS of folks wanting to share a room with you.

Can I bring my kids? YES!!!

Club Med is known for it’s fabulous children’s programs! So if you like bring them!

Honestly, there is SO MUCH for the kids to do all day that you don’t even have to see them unless you want to. 🙂

Keep in mind that they cannot come into any of our sessions, ceremonies, events, etc – since we want to honor the ability for our participants to get away and relax. 

Although I don’t have the exact pricing yet for them – we will have this in the next month or so. Until then you can look at the info for the general public on their website for now.

Here is the pricing schedule if you are bringing ONE child with you and they are staying in your room:

Ages 0-3 Free plus a $30 USD one-time Club Med Membership fee
Ages 4-11 $90 USD per night plus a $30 USD one-time Club Med Membership fee
Ages 12-15 $144 USD per night plus a $30 one-time Club Med Membership fee

If you want to bring more than one child you are going to need a bigger room than the ones we have reserved in our room block. In that case there will be an upcharge for a larger room and the pricing in that room would be:

Ages 4-11 would be 50% of that room price. 
Ages 12-15 will be 80% of that room price 

If you tell us how many children you are bringing we can suggest a room type and from there we can figure out the upcharge as well as the pricing for kids.

Can I bring my partner? YES you can!

And YES! You can bring your partner – it goes without saying that this rate is for the Club Med resort package only – they CANNOT attend any of the EVENT activities and classes, ceremonies, etc. Of course they will have full access to any of the Club Med activities we have listed, all meals and snacks, internet, and unlimited drinks.

Simply place a $500 deposit for them and they will be all set.

Partner Package – $995 USD deluxe room, double occupancy

Where do I fly into?

You’ll fly into Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), the biggest airport in the Dominican Republic, with convenient direct flights arriving daily from around the world. If you like (at an additional charge) we’ll arrange for your transport from the Punta Cana Airport to Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda, which is about 60 miles (100km) or 90 minutes from the airport.

I want transport from the airport to the event! Can you arrange that please?

Yes!! We’d love to – no problem!

Prices depend on the number of folks traveling together. We are going to make sure that each “run” has as many folks in it as possible so that the price is as low for you as possible. Keep in mind these prices are for ONE WAY.

Almost everyone will be flying into Punta Cana so if you fly into any of the other airports you will most likely be taking that transport on your own.

To figure the pricing you would need to divide the price per ride by the number of folks in your van. For example, if you’re in a van with 6 people riding to or from Punta Cana airport it would be $212 USD divided by 6 = $35.33 a person. If you are in a van by yourself arriving into La Romana airport it would be $218 for you. Obviously it is a great deal if you fly into Punta Cana and end up sharing with others.

From the Punta Cana airport
If 1-4 people travel it’s $162 USD per ride
If 5-8 people travel it’s $212 USD per ride
If 9-16 people travel it’s $287 USD per ride

From La Romana airport
If 1-4 people travel it’s $218 USD per ride
If 5-8 people travel it’s $276 USD per ride

From Santo Domingo airport
If 1-4 people travel it’s $263 USD per ride
If 5-8 people travel it’s $330 USD per ride

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Have special dietary needs? The kitchens are happy to meet any needs, including but not limited to: vegetarian, Kosher, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and more!

Do I need a passport or visa?

A valid passport is needed for citizens from all over the world to enter the Dominican Republic. Typically the passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date with one blank visa page. It is vital that the name given when booking your plane ticket is exactly the same as written on your passport.

You may also need a Visa, or a Tourist Card (US $10; available at the airport), depending on what country you are coming from. For more info please visit: http://www.punta-cana.info/en/traveltips/visa.html and check with your embassy in your country for more details.

The departure tax is US$20. In most cases, however, it is already included in your airline ticket fare.

Is it safe to travel to the Dominican Republic?

The U.S. State Department has not raised the threat level for the country, which was issued in April 2019 and remains at a level two (“exercise increased caution”), the same level as countries like Spain and France.

In response to the situations reported in the news, the FBI is investigating and local authorities are seeing if bootleg liquor might be a cause. The country is also working hard to repair its reputation. 

Michès Playa Esmeralda is a brand new resort and is isolated from the surrounding towns. We offer pickup at the airport so that no one has to worry about dealing with local taxis or transportation. Club Med has an excellent safety record and is extremely attentive to the needs of its customers. If we were worried in the slightest, we would not be having our event on the island.

What's the weather like?

Daily high temperatures are around 80-85°F (26-30°C) the beginning of mid-May. Daily low temperatures are around 72-75°F (22-24°C). Water temperature is usually 81ºF (27ºC) – warm enough for anyone to take a dip! Check the weather forecast here.

The Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1 and extends to November 30 so we should not have to worry about that!

What do I pack?

We recommend you bring:

  • Sunglasses
  • Layers of casual clothing – dresses/skirts, shorts and t-shirts, light-weight long sleeve layers
  • Bathing suit
  • Yoga/workout clothes
  • Sunscreen

We’ll be sending out a more detailed “Don’t Forget Me List” a month before the event.

How can I offset the impact of my traveling by plane?

We deeply believe in caring for Mother Earth and that each of us has the responsibility to consciously live in harmony with the planet, as best we can. This includes looking at how we eat, heat our homes, vacation, commute and travel. That’s why we support holistically looking at climate change and where we can reduce our CO2 emissions. Credible research shows, for example, that cows cause more CO2 “emissions” than cars or plane travel. 

We recommend that you use a carbon footprint calculator to see your personal impact and reduce your emissions as you can. You can also participate in offsetting your carbon footprint by donating to or getting involved with environmental organizations you trust or well-recognized organizations that list certified and verified carbon offsetting projects. Every little act we take can make a difference and we appreciate your concern and awareness.

For us, we know the benefits of converging with life-minded folks in person, on occasion, who want to make a difference in the world, create online businesses and give back is priceless!

Here are three companies that you can refer to for offsetting your carbon units:
https://sustainabletravel.org/
https://www.terrapass.com/
https://www.cooleffect.org/

Still have a question?

If you have any more questions, please feel get in touch with Mel, our Office Manager and Event Coordinator at awesomeness@wanderlustentrepreneur.com or 613-714-8335.

I’m ready for a VORTEX in my life + business!
