Hello Community,
Thank you so much for your donations, support and words of encouragement. Jaguar Mary is back in the United States. This is a notification that this page will be taken down by the end of the week. JM will carry on from here, privately raising the monies still due to Ananda Cottages. If you have donated and want to follow the progress of recompense, you may join our on-line facebook group. This is a closed group available for folks who are due a refund or made a donation.
Thank you very much!

Greetings beloved Hoop Dance community,
This is a difficult missive to write. What follows will require a huge leap in forgiveness, generosity and a loving eye on the big picture.
Some of you might know, and some of you might not know, but the Sacred Circularities retreat that was supposed to be happening right now in Bali has been cancelled. An occurrence that has affected many and created a giant shit storm of disappointment, anger, shame and a sizable debt that, if not paid ASAP, could cause our beloved Jaguar Mary to continue to be stuck in Indonesia, her Passport held hostage and perhaps even JAIL. A quick google will give you a pretty clear idea of what Balinese jail is like. The government of Indonesia has never hesitated to arrest and imprison foreigners. Some have even been executed. There is nothing outside governments can do. The US Embassy has already indicated they cannot help JM until she pays this debt. Until JM gets out of Bali and back home to the US, she cannot begin to work to gather the funds necessary to repay all the 2015 Sedona and Bali attendees who have not yet been refunded for cancelled retreats. We are all left asking the inevitable question: "How did this happen??"
Here is the skinny;
Our dear friend and creatrix Jaguar Mary had a dream of creating a healing hoop retreat in a magical place. And, for many of us, she made it happen. And those of us who experienced Sacred Circularities, whether in Bali or Sedona, know just how incredibly special and valuable that experience was.
But the reality of the situation is---and some of us might know this deep down in our bones---that these retreats actually cost more than we paid for them. In some cases, a great deal more.
Over the years Jaguar Mary made it possible for many people to attend Sacred Circularities by offering “half price” tickets towards the end of the retreat for the next years retreat. These tickets were in fact BELOW COST! The idea was conceived due to the first two SC’s coming out of JM’s pocket. Our beloved leader believed in the power of this offering so much that she accepted this loss in hopes that the next would be profitable and she could continue to create this amazing experience in paradise for all of us. This set up a vicious cycle where Jaguar Mary was using next year's money to pay for current year's bills.
This year, Jaguar Mary’s debt cycle finally caught up with her. She explains in detail what happened HERE.
If you are one of the many that have been financially and emotionally affected by this, I get it… You are angry, perhaps even in upheaval and financial loss. This plea is for your recuperation as well as Jaguar Mary’s. I know you are anxious for your refund but the first order of business is paying back Ananda and getting JM safely back in the US. She cannot begin the repayment process from where she is. If you can find it in your heart to share this along, your repayment will be that much closer.
I don’t make excuses for Jaguar Mary’s oversights in the handling of the financial side of Sacred Circularites, but I do vouch for the integrity of her intentions and the purity of her mission. The vision of Sacred Circularities was, from its very inception, HUGE. Only an adventurous risk taker would have even attempted it! When you stick your neck out and mistakes are made, they are often big, life changing ones. I honor the courage of the leap into the unknown and have compassion for the very human mistakes that followed.
Ok, If you have read this far, hopefully you are with me.One of those that sees themselves as part of the Sacred Circularites family and as such, feel ready to band together to help one of their own and by extension, everyone who has been put out by this unfortunate series of mistakes. If you have attended a Sacred Circularities retreat--particularly if you bought a ticket at a steep discount, been a blogger or guest, or work-study student, please consider donating to our "Bring JM Home" fund. Every cent will go directly to these immediate costs:
The total needed to repay Ananda cottages, the INCREDIBLE location we have all enjoyed over the years and get Jaguar Mary out of Bali (so she can proceed with her committed task of repayment of the expenses of participants and teachers) is $22,000. This includes the fees that Fundrazr takes as payment for its crowd funding platform. All funds will be paid directly to those owed and (just in case you are wondering) this will be handled by third parties, not going through Jaguar Mary.
Here is a full outline of the numbers and where it will go:
- $17,000 to Ananda cottages
- $3,000 to the US Embassy to get Jaguar Mary’s Visa in good standing so she can leave the country
- $2,000 an estimate of the fees to be paid to Fundrazr and its payment platform.
Once Jaguar Mary gets back to the USA she can work with her team of advisors and investors to pay back every participant that was affected by the cancelations and waylaid travel plans.
So what do we, her supporters, get out of this? I was about to say nothing, but that is not true. We get to know that all the years of life changing experience we and others have had, as a direct result of Jaguar Mary’s creation, gets to be offered back up to its source. I don't know about you but that makes my heart feel really good and just… RIGHT. Did Jaguar Mary screw up royally? Undoubtedly yes. Does she STILL deserve our friendship, loyalty and support? With my whole self, I SAY YES.
If only 440 of the thousands that have had their lives uplifted and their very souls transformed by the Sacred Circularites experience gave only $50 then we would be there and can all be on the move to wholeness yet again and with a hell of a story to tell.
Ok, so no pressure ;) but If you have experienced a profound healing, joy, hoopship, and community at Sacred Circularities, please consider giving a gift towards these efforts to bring our friend home. And we can all move forward together.
Visualizing the SC community showing it's depth and realness by coming together OFF the dancefloor!
Yours in flow,
Anah aka Hoopalicious
