Gringos in Paradise: Our Honduras Odyssey by Malana Ashlie is a delightfully amusing and lighthearted autobiography chronicling her move from the U.S. to the Caribbean Coast of Honduras. When she and her husband decide to relocate to a more secluded paradise the fun begins. She shares the trials and triumphs of building a new life in Central America in what can best be described as a spiritual journey of faith.
Malana Ashlie's passion was that of an herbalist and naturopathic doctor for a number of years. Along with her health consultations, she wrote articles on health/nutrition and taught classes on wellness. However the directive to always seek out the cause of an illness drew her into the study of subtle energies, religions and then metaphysics. These studies offered invitations to study with Elders of Mayan and Hawaiian cultures as well as teachers of sacred Native American traditions.
Her path has led to the north coastal area of Honduras where she writes and creates workshops that incorporate the wisdom of the ancients with accepted sciences. She enjoys traveling though out the U.S.offering this knowledge.
She says:
Once the mind expands to a new dimension it can never return to its former size.
