ADVISE - internship at Tanglewood PANAMA
Posted by: rawrnr ()

HI

I am in the process of getting a 9 week internship at Tanglewood in Panama.
I was all excited until I read some reviews over on ALissa's site.
Has anyone here been?
Anything positive to say..

Can anyone recommend an alternate internship place.

I have a bit of time off from work and want to spend it learning more about raw!

rawrnr , if your intuition tells you this is not the place to be than maybe you should look elsewhere .. ive read lots of bad and good things about the place ,its really up to you what choose to make of it. go with your gut.

The posts on Alissa's board actaully scared me.

I want to go....

Anyone know if Gabriel Cousins takes interns?

You might send a private message to dancerinthenight. She has been to Tanglewood more than once and has a good idea of what goes on there and how the staff is treated.

Also, don't internships at TOL cost money for the internees? I don't know, but I think I heard this from Suvine.

Tanglewood would be an awesome experience and I would love to go!

There is a fasting retreat in the US,
[www.roylretreat.com] This place is not nearly as exciting as Panama!

I like juice fasting a little better than water fasting. Gabriel Cousens teaches juice fasting at the Tree of Life, and on the road in various cities: [www.JuiceFastForPeace.com]

Let us know what you decide to do! I'd love to hear reports from your experience

After much debate, I have decided not to go.
It already interfered with a yoga teacher training I was planning and the HORRIBLE reports just turned me off.
I will try to defer my acceptance until next year...

probably a good idea untill you get more info , i always find it kinda amazing when someone gets so much bad press they dont try harder to rectify problems ..especially when people are complaining about the same things. Of course there is always going ot be a percentage of people that will complain about just about anything no matter what you try to do to make them happy. being in the tourism industry for many years you see alot of that lol
