Sacred Sight

Surrounded by the wild Oregon landscape, you’ll have unlimited potential for quiet image making and communion between yourself and nature. This merging between self and nature is experienced in the moment your being knows it’s time to click or take the picture. This knowing is what we wish to experience time and time again – the mysterious space in time when we merge with spirit though the camera lens. By connecting deeply with the oneness of life, we have the profound desire to express our feelings on film. If you’re not familiar with the beauty of the Oregon coast, please watch the lovely video on the right –>

SACRED BRITAIN: Women’s Journey to Avalon – June 14-22nd, 2012

Sheri Rosenthal - Owner of JOTS ♥ — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 16:05:22 +0000

We live in a patriarchal world that is deeply suffering from the imbalance of the Goddess energies. Indeed, even His Holiness the Dalai Lama understood this when he shared with the crowd at the 2009 Peace Summit in Vancouver: “The world will be saved by the western woman.” It is with this knowledge that we embark upon our quest to embrace the power, grace and glory of our feminine energy and heal the old wounds that would take us out of our Divine light.

A Quest of the Heart

The quest for Avalon, the Lady of the Lake, Excalibur and the Holy Grail, have long been sought after by seers, magicians, kings and noble knights – it represents the classic story of the eternal journey for peace, restoration, balance and healing. These stories represent your journey, mine, and all of humanity’s to the heart of who we truly are. We invite you to journey with us and cross over the threshold of time as we open the curtain to Avalon and bring the darkness within into the light.

Glastonbury has long been acknowledged as the location of the mystical land of Avalon and the burial site of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere; a place beyond the veil of human sight and one only those who have reached deep inside their soul can see. Ladies, if you’ve ever felt a connection with Camelot, Tintangel, the healing waters of the Chalice Well, or felt called to walk with the ancients at Stonehenge, this precious journey will speak to you.

“I dreamt of you in Glastonbury. You opened a curtain into Avalon, and lifted me in…”
~ from the novel “The Mists of Avalon”

One-of-a-Kind-Experience

This will be a very special one-of-kind tour specially arranged for Journeys of the Spirit®. Joining trip leaders Sheri Rosenthal and Cameron Broughton – are local experts who will share the many secrets of these ancient lands hidden behind the veil of modern society. Together they will share and guide us through ceremony, prayer, and sacred circle time, into the heart and soul of these sacred places and into the mystery and magic of the Goddess within us all.

We’ll have private time at Stonehenge, visit Glastonbury, Bath, and Wells – and also share a private moonlight gathering at Chalice Well! Honoring our sacred feminine through communion, sisterhood, and celebration will be a highlight of this journey. Join us on this woman’s quest to illuminate our integrity, sovereignty and dignity.

HIMALAYAS: Blue Mango Spiritual Retreat – Custom Dates Available

Sheri Rosenthal - Owner of JOTS ♥ — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:05:18 +0000

Blue Mango in The Himalayas is the highest spiritual retreat in the world – its location carefully chosen to provide seclusion, peace and solitude – right in the heart of the Trans Himalayan Range bordering Tibet. The retreat is an opportunity to deepen your awareness of yourself, of other people, and the world around you. It is a challenging, life changing experience. An expedition into your inner self – into your soul.

The Last Shangri-La

The retreat center is located in Spiti, India. Also known as “the roof of the world” it lies isolated in a deep valley, where its unique culture has developed undisturbed. Home to some unimaginable topography – enthralling peaks, gorges, rivers & lakes, Spiti has a serene atmosphere that remains cut off from the rest of the world for almost 8 months in a year. It is sparsely populated, and yet it is an overflowing melting pot of Buddhist culture. Spiti remains one of the last bastions of true peace and tranquility – a little world of its own. A true Shangri-La.

Deep in the Himalayas

Blue Mango rests at a height of 12,500 ft above sea level, on the beautiful pebble beach of the Spiti River. It has breathtaking vistas of the Himalayan range, clusters of juniper trees, warm sunshine and a crystal clear, bright blue sky. Here, in the midst of God’s exquisite creation, is where your spiritual journey takes flight.

Rejuvenation of your Body-Mind-Spirit

Every single day of the retreat has been carefully planned to enhance your spiritual, inner work and healing experience, and to rejuvenate your body, mind and soul. Spread over a period of 11 days, you will experience a combination of different meditative techniques, soul therapies, yoga, NLP, Life Coaching and experiential learning.

“Life is a journey and we don’t always pick the people with whom we travel that journey. The path always begins beneath our feet, with the first step we take. Where we stand right now is where our journey begins”.
~ Buddha
