WHAT’S NEW? Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
It is such a wonderful time of year! Everyone gathering with a touch of magic in the air, smiles on little ones faces, and reuniting with family and friends. Another year has almost come to an end and you likely find yourself celebrating in one way or another.
I would like to take a moment to wish you all a Happy Holiday Season, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Feliz Navidad and Happy Kwanzaa. Whichever holiday that you may celebrate, may it be a memorable and joyous time spent with those you love most.
The celebrations, the extravagant meals, the giving and the love that you experience this season may be a memory to hold dear for years to come.
Remember to be present, embrace the love around you and capture these times with family in your memories.
Blessings & love, Sheri

EVENTS, JOURNEYS + WEBINARS!
Unconditional Love in Action:
Angkor Wat, Cambodia
January 20th-30th, 2019
Join David Ault on this profoundly heart-opening spiritual journey of service to Siem Reap, Cambodia – home of the incredible ancient temples of Angkor Wat. To open oneself deeply, to risk feeling the suffering of others, and to wish to relieve that suffering – is the definition of compassion and the cultivation of the Buddha within us. As Gandhi once said: The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
You’ll have the opportunity to explore the amazing temple complex at Angkor Wat! Built in the 12th century, Angkor Wat lies north of the modern town of Siem Reap and was originally Hindu dedicated to the God Vishnu.
Service is often called unconditional love in action – to give totally of yourself is to be free of ego, 100% present, doing what is needed without judgment. In these moments our heart opens and the truth of who we are comes through – our divine presence. Volunteer travel is a powerful experience – you risk coming home with a clearer vision of what you want in life, a deeper sense of self-realization, and clarity about who you are and your purpose in life!
Trip Tuition: $2,090 USD based on double occupancy, single supplement: $495 USD – many meals included.
Retreat Mastermind Morocco:
Marrakesh, Morocco
May 11th-18th, 2019
If you have been dreaming of running your own retreats for your tribe then this is THE perfect retreat for you! If you’re a transformation retreat leader who’s ready to learn the art and science of drop-dead-fabulous, high-converting trip pages for all your retreats – plus practical strategies for retreat planning + marketing – then join Sheri + Kerrianne in exotic Marrakesh for this unforgettable mastermind adventure!
We’ll be spending seven fabulous nights in the beautiful city of Marrakesh enjoying the wonderful culture, food, shopping, and the charming décor of the fabulous Villa Dinari. You’ll feel like you’ve found a secret oasis that only YOU know about.
We’ll have two nights out on the town to experience the fabulous international food scene (as well as perhaps a bout of belly dancing?). And we can’t forget a tour of the highlights of the city with our trusty guide Abdul exploring the old medina souks for djellaba robes, spices, babouches (Moroccan slippers), old carpets and colorful ceramics, perhaps visiting the old ruins of the El Badi Palace, or the stunning Bahia Palace (which truly is an architectural wonder).
And on top of ALL THAT, what would it mean to you if you picked up a handful of strategy gems that ended up netting you an additional $10-50k from your next retreat (and all your future trips too)!?! It would be amazing. So don’t miss this special retreat where you’ll learn the keys to planning, pricing, promoting, and monetizing your first (or next) transformational destination retreat.
Trip Tuition: Early bird ENDS March 1st, 2019! Most meals and activities included. See trip page for details.
OUR FEATURED ARTICLE
A World of Projections
It’s so interesting to see the way people behave once they begin a spiritual path. As their awareness starts to blossom, they often feel compelled to reflect to those around them, the issues, faults and problems of others.
The first thing we begin to see more clearly is the behavior of others, as our own personal behavior is more difficult to observe. This is because the ego mind is protective of its territory and does not want to be challenged, changed or usurped. It takes an open heart and mind to be able to train oneself to look inward and concentrate on oneself rather than what is happening “outside” of us.
A perfect example of this is when a disagreement occurs between two people. We may become frustrated with that person for not seeing things the way we feel they should be seen. When we feel we’re right, we project our inner energy of frustration and anger (which is the result of our judgmental thought forms) on the other person and they perceive that – usually unconsciously. They in turn start to react to the perceived judgment and become defensive. Then, we in turn feel compelled to let them know that they are behaving badly and that they have issues. However, we’re not taking responsibility for what we’re creating in that situation. We’ve been projecting our emotions outward and not recognizing what the result of that action is. The other person’s defensiveness is the result of OUR behavior and pointing out to them that they have issues is not awareness. That is using our spiritual path like a hammer to judge others with.
That’s why it’s imperative that upon embarking on our spiritual path, we be very careful to avoid telling others what we feel they are doing. Instead we must focus on ourselves and what we’re creating with our words, emotions, judgments and opinions. This can be quite challenging because we’ve been domesticated by society to look outward all at all times; we believe that events are happening outside of us. This way of seeing the world causes us to take on a victim point of view, but in truth there is no outside of the one to be victimized by. Since everyone is part of the one, we are always co-creating life in billions of combinations, like a kaleidoscope. Still in the end, the other person’s side of the fence so to speak, is not our concern. Only what we are thinking, projecting and doing matters – as that is the only thing we can change.
I encourage you to deeply consider how you are projecting your energy, emotions, thoughts and feelings outward and what the possible reactions to your behavior might be. Rather than jumping to the conclusion that they are to blame, instead ask yourself: How am I co-creating this situation, and how am I compelling this person to react in this way with my projections? Let me know what you observe, you might be surprised!
As always, I wish you the best on your path.
With All My Love & Blessings,
Sheri Rosenthal
