Welcome To Your Home Away From Home In The Garden PlazaOpens October 21, 2006The Garden Plaza is perfect for you if:
This apartment is located within the "porton" of the compound and here you will see all kinds of flowers because Dra. Cross is a garden devotee. You'll see many bags filled with cuttings being rooted as well as the flowering garden below. In addition you may interact with her pet chickens who are tame and friendly. What You'll Experience
Your AmenitiesEnjoy your choice of full or continental breakfast, private bathroom, spacious quarters, private entrance within walking distance of the mountains and much more. Welcome To the Garden Plaza - Your Place of HealingDr. Carol Cross, Director, Asociación Intibucana de Comunicación would like to invite you to come to the cool cloud forest of Intibuca and regenerate from the stresses of your daily life. Here you can sit under a shade tree sipping Maracuya (Passion Fruit) from the mountains. Chances are you have already tasted Passion fruit but the wild ones from the mountains have a more delicious, richer taste. The only sounds are those of a small community in the mountains - birds, a chicken or two, people walking and talking outside the porton. It's just pure peace and harmony.The Garden Plaza is a small bed and breakfast in a community in the Western mountains of Honduras. There is no such thing as a a fast pace here. This tranquil community has existed for hundreds of years with the same culture. The hotel has been designed with healing in mind. The Garden Plaza is an ecospiritual place. We are living in a world of stress, of pollution, fears of global warming, worry about the war in Iraq, terrorism everywhere. Our world is in need of healing. Each of us needs to heal from all these stresses. We need a place to retreat from the world, a place to go to have our Spirits renewed, to come close to the Earth, to feel the flow of the Earth's healing touch.
Such a place has been created in the Mountain cloud pine forest of the Lenca Indian town of La Esperanza (the hope) of Honduras. This temperate mountain hideaway is unspoiled. There is not even one traffic light in the small town. The Lenca Indian market carries you back 50 years to the slow small town life of the 1950s in the USA. And the smiling, caring Lenca Indians give you their hospitality and their welcome. The Garden Plaza is the creation of three expatriates, Dr. Carol Cross, Profesora Dee Brightman and Youth Coach Chris Watkins, Americans from Arizona who have moved to La Esperanza. They have all worked together to make the Garden Plaza a place of peaceful rest. And they have worked together in harmony to create this wonderful place of beauty and healing designed to be your place of healing. What led the family to create the Garden Plaza? Some of us are blessed with the touch of Spirit. We get special visions, words, pictures, music or designs by Spirit in its work to heal our world. Such a person is a Spirit Conduit Artist. A Spirit Conduit Artist is one who sees what others do not seem, hears what others do not hear and feels what others do not hear. When these expatriates decided to create something, Spirit led them to the creation of a bed and breakfast where people could come and be at peace. They were led to create a place of healing for you. Welcome to the renewal of your Spirit! Dr. Carol Cross, Director Asociación Intibucana de Comunicación Barrio Lempira de Intibuca, Frente ADEL Casa Amarilla, Contiguo a la cooperativa mixta de COMIXCIL Intibuca, Intibuca, Honduras 011-504-783-0199 cheetah7@hmradvencen.comYou may have to share the
two bedroom apartment with volunteers of our soccer project but they will
have their own room. They will be quiet and polite. Volunteers
are a special kind of person who loves to give. There is no need to interact
with them if you do not want to but they are very friendly. I can also offer you some of my specialties - passion fruit tea or juice, chamomile tea, fresh fruits such as watermelon or cantaloupe. I also make fried plantain, papas fritas (fried potatoes), fried sweet potatoes. Once weekly I make cakes. From time to time I make special cookies and pastels. You may also enjoy fried zucchini and other specialties. Compensation for the cost of ingredients is required if you plan on dinner
or anything elaborate, basic breakfast fare is included in the room charge.

Where will such a place be
found? Who is willing to dedicate themselves to creating a place where
spirits can be healed, where peace can be found where creature comforts are
an integral part of the design? Where everything we see is in harmony
with the spirit of our world? Where you can look out your window and see the
forest on the mountains, so close you could touch it?
