Something Special! | Our Upcoming Trips at a Glance
Dear Friends,
Ladies, Join Shanti in Florida for her Womens Retreat Feb 9-12th!
WHAT’S NEW? Personal Freedom! For those of us on a path of personal freedom, challenging the agreements and beliefs we’ve made about our past experiences is critical. We want to learn from those agreements and transcend them, not become more attached to them.
Holding on to seeing our lives from a fixated victim point of view can only create suffering rather than freedom. But if we could see our past events as if they were playing on a big movie screen (with detachment!) – we can understand how we created our life even if that creation was manifest without awareness. Then we can choose to have gratitude for the way it unfolded – even if it was painful.
“The past is a guidepost, not a hitching post.”
~L. Thomas Holdcroft
The past no longer exists except in our memories. It’s simply a dream that we can have respect for without having to drag it behind us for the rest of our lives. Or for that matter tell stories about events that are no longer truth – or perhaps were never the truth!
The goal so to speak, is to expand our consciousness until it resembles that of the infinite – no boundaries or limitations. To reach beyond our stories and memories and to use them to guide us to a brighter, wiser and more fulfilling future. ♥
What do you think? Please post below!
Blessings and love,

OUR FEATURED JOURNEY/RETREAT:
SANTORINI, GREECE: Inspire Your Creative Soul! – October 14-21th
REGISTER NOW!
Are you looking to…
- Tap into the wellspring of your primal creative fire & inner visions?
- Be inspired through guided visualizations, drumming, meditation & dreamwork?
- Enjoy individual guidance & group demonstrations of art techniques?
- Absorb the splendid volcanic energy of the ancient island of Santorini?
If so – join artist Linda Jacobson for an extraordinary Greek adventure in the midst of the Aegean Sea! Eight days of joyous painting, drawing, meditation and ritual on the magical island of Santorini, connected with the legendary civilization of Atlantis and ancient Minoan culture.
The clarity of air, the embrace of the water and the beauty of the light will rejuvenate and inspire you. The gods and goddesses of ancient Greece represent archetypal and elemental energies that live within each of our psyches which we will explore through meditation and art.
The 2011 trip cost is: $2799.00 USD per person double occupancy. If you are interested in staying in Santorini with Linda for 2 more days (until Oct 23rd), the cost would be $395.00 USD per person double occupancy. Details for Santorini here.

In your introductory piece you mention the benefit of detaching from our fear based emotional stories, from the past as we understand it, the goal of which, “is to expand our consciousness until it resembles that of the infinite – no boundaries or limitations. To reach beyond our stories and memories and to use them to guide us to a brighter, wiser and more fulfilling future.” However, how can I make my mind resemble the Infinite, when it already is Infinite? There is no making of my mind to be Infinite, I am Infinite. All I have to do is turn my attention around 180 degrees and it is very clear to me, I am not the face you see, but the Space that sees. There is nothing here in me but a space that is capacity for you! Two small eyes disappear, they were never here! What is here in this space where I used to hallucinate a face, there is only, space.
Dear Matthew,
This is true angel – but people do not function from that perspective. They only use the information they have been domesticated with – the program – rather than being totally open to infinite possibility. So then the idea of the mind being infinite is just that – a great spiritual concept rather than a way to live one’s life.
Blessings & love, Sheri
