WHAT’S NEW? Happy World Tourism Day!
Each year on September 27th we celebrate World Tourism Day, for those of you who aren’t familiar I am going to share a brief excerptfrom the United Nation’s website. “Its purpose is to foster awareness among the international community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic value.” This year World Tourism Day is focusing on sustainable tourism. I encourage you to reflect on your travels and check out #WTD2018 for more information and inspiration.
Blessings & love, Sheri

EVENTS, JOURNEYS + WEBINARS!
A Journey of Remembering in the Heart of Celtic France
October 21st-30th, 2018
Take the journey of a lifetime to the heart of Celtic France and its many inter-dimensional portals. Through guided meditation, astral travel, and shamanic work, you will reignite your Heart Fire, reclaim more of your True Self, and release negative programs and blocks. Step into your Self Sovereignty, realign with your Soul Purpose, and surrender to your Divine Will.
You’ll reactivate forgotten aspects of self at powerful sacred sites, such as the Cairn de Barnénez (Europe’s largest megalithic monument). Step out of time where legends were born in the Huelgoat Forest and atop Menez Hom (a small mountain sacred to the Celts, who worshiped their sun god here).
Trip Tuition: $5,780.00 USD includes some meals

OUR FEATURED ARTICLE
We all want to be happy and there are many books and teachers in the world that try to help people be happier. Yet we all continue to suffer.
Therefore, we may think that we’re “doing it wrong.” Somehow we are “failing at happiness.” That isn’t true. Being able to enjoy happiness doesn’t require that we have zero suffering. In fact, the art of happiness is also the art of suffering well. When we learn to acknowledge, embrace, and understand our suffering, we suffer much less. Not only that, but we’re also able to go further and transform our suffering into understanding, compassion, and joy for ourselves and for others.
One of the most difficult things for us to accept is that there is no realm where there’s only happiness and there’s no suffering. This doesn’t mean that we should despair. Suffering can be transformed. As soon as we open our mouth to say “suffering,” we know that the opposite of suffering is already there as well. Where there is suffering, there is happiness.
According to the creation story in the biblical book of Genesis, God said, “Let there be light.” I like to imagine that light replied, saying, “God, I have to wait for my twin brother, darkness, to be with me. I can’t be there without the darkness.” God asked, “Why do you need to wait? Darkness is there.” Light answered, “In that case, then I am also already there.”
If we focus exclusively on pursuing happiness, we may regard suffering as something to be ignored or resisted. We think of it as something that gets in the way of happiness. But the art of happiness is also the art of knowing how to suffer well. If we know how to use our suffering, we can transform it and suffer much less. Knowing how to suffer well is essential to realizing true happiness.
