You know you’re a good person and deserve the best in life.
And you know that life shouldn’t have to be so difficult.
But even though you know that deep in your heart, do you still…

• Wake up wondering whose life you’re living?
• Feel like you’re lacking clarity?
• Find yourself short-tempered, frustrated or unhappy?
• Wish your relationships were more supportive and loving?
• Want to forgive and move on, but can’t?
• Crave freedom from your own life and mind?

Are you ready to break out of the box you call  reality? If so – join me (click here to read about Sheri) for a Personal Intensive.

It’s a powerful experience and is a great way to jump-start your life.  In my experience, the root of most people’s issues is a belief system that is sabotaging their life – rather than supporting it.

Imagine what life could be like if you were calm and centered no matter what situation you faced in life, rather than emotional and unclear. What if you no longer took people’s actions personally? Or if forgiveness came easy to you? Or even if you never got in another argument for the rest of your life?! Believe me – it is possible.

Take a moment to scroll down the page and read some of the comments
people had about their experience of this program!

Sheri, how will I benefit? You’ll learn to…

• Take positive action in life – regardless of anxiety or fear.
• No longer feel victimized by the people in your life.
• Deal with people openly, without taking their actions and words to heart.
• Let go of the burdens of the past, forgive and move on with gratitude and joy.
• Reclaim your self-esteem and greater life purpose.
• Replace anger with focused clarity.
• No longer fear confrontation, or be a doormat for others.
• Come to a place of self-acceptance, no matter what actions you took in the past.
• Clearly identify your limiting beliefs, their origin and true purpose – empowering you to make healthier life choices.
• Utilize specific tools to help you live courageously, boldly, and with your head held high.

Who would NOT benefit from an Intensive?

• Anyone strongly invested in being a victim or being right over being happy.
• People who are lazy and won’t do their “homework.”
• Those unwilling to make an investment in themselves because they don’t think they’re worth it.
• Anyone who thinks I have a magic wand and can fix them – rather than coming here to get support so they can change themselves.
• Those who have no faith that their life can actually be great!

What’s the schedule?

Figure we’ll spend around 3-4 hours together in the morning and then you’ll do your journaling/homework in the afternoon. Then we’ll catch back up for approximately 1 hour in the evening to re-cap.

You’ll fill out a questionnaire before the event sharing what you feel is holding you back from living your best life, what you’ve done to try to change things, and what you ultimately envision your life to be.

Where are the intensives located?

The intensives take place in St Petersburg, Florida (Tampa Bay). It’s a lovely place to take time to reflect upon your life and walking on the beach is both beautiful and peaceful. You’ll stay either at my town-home (available from May – October) or you can stay at the funky Postcard Inn on St Pete Beach (or any other hotel on the beach) during the other months.

How do I get there?

You would need to fly into the Tampa or St Pete/Clearwater, Florida airports. You can drive here too if you like – that’s not a problem.

How long should I stay?

Commonly folks stay 3 days, but it’s up to you. I feel it’s important to be able to internalize the work and too many days of processing does not allow us to simply be with it all. The ego-mind starts to rebel and has trouble integrating too much information.

What are the costs involved?

You have to figure in your flight or drive to my home, and your food. You’ll have access the the kitchen if you are staying at the house (available only from May-Oct) – you can pick up groceries and cook. If you are staying at the hotel, then you’ll be either eating-out or picking up food at the Publix grocery store (some hotels on the beach do have kitchens).

As for the cost of the program – it depends on how we set it up, number of days and hours. I suggest filling out this questionnaire and faxing or emailing it over to me immediately so we can discuss creating something perfect for you. You must feel like you and your sanity are worth it – I value you and your time very much, and you must value yourself as well. Also if you are not planning on coming for a few months – you are welcome to pay out your intensive!

**This is the bottom line:

You can do one hour sessions once a month for a year (like in therapy), or you could invest ~12 hours over 3 days and have the time to deeply work through what you need to without the clock interrupting you. That is extremely significant.

Who wants to take a year to resolve something that can be dealt with in one weekend?

Interested? Here’s what you can do:

Email me directly with several dates that you feel would work for you and your application. I’d be happy to chat with you for ~20 minutes about what you want to accomplish and how I can help!

You can listen to listen to my Living With Clarity, Leading With Power & Loving With Awareness teleclass – which illustrates a mini-session giving you and idea of the process.

Recommended Books:

These are a few books that I feel will help you prepare for your upcoming Intensive. Please enjoy these recommendations. If you click on the book itself it will link you to Amazon.com.

Sacred Space

We’ll be gathering at the charming Briar Patch Inn located along beautiful Oak Creek in Sedona which vibrates at a high frequency. Healthy breakfasts of fresh home-baked breads and muffins, crunchy granola, yogurt, fresh fruits and juices, eggs in the shell, coffee and herbal teas can be enjoyed by the fireside in the lodge, or on a tray at your cottage, or best of all, creekside. Briar Patch is a nourishing and intimate place to treat yourself to a much needed rest and rejuvenation. Healthy food, morning stretches, walking to powerful vortexes, sacred ceremonies, and self-nurturing will be our focus. Our days will be filled with opportunities for deep physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing.

Celebration & Ceremony

Our time together will include: sharing in circle, walking the land, exploring sacred sites, stretching our bodies and minds through activities such as movement class and guided visualizations. You’ll participate in pipe, fire and Beltane celebration ceremonies. Each person will receive a bodywork treatment from Joumana, voted the best massage therapist in Sedona – and have their astrology chart interpreted by Rosine Fievet, who’s been charting and assisting folks in discovering their soul’s purpose for over 3 decades!

Transformation & Healing

The intent of our retreat is to purify, release and dissolve old repressed emotions, played-out dramas, old story-lines and agendas, self-sabotaging and limiting habitual life patterns, and to identify the seeds we are currently fertilizing in our lives. Then with deep awareness born of self-love we can choose to plant new seeds of true joy, forgiveness, compassion, health and integrity. By recreating and re-birthing ourselves, we can step into the next chapter of our lives, for our personal and planetary awakening. If you’re called to attend our transformational retreat we would be most honored to hold sacred space with you.

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.

In this playful heart-centered retreat with Flora Bowley and Catherine Just, we will explore a whole new way of painting and photography from a space of freedom, non-judgment and experimentation. This process is about loosening up, letting go of expectations, trusting yourself, having fun and allowing your art to unfold naturally. The emphasis is on finding your own true voice and allowing your personal expression to bloom and grow with flow and ease. Create from a more authentic place, expand your awareness, and transform your life.

Creative Unfolding

For 4 nights and 3 full days we combine spiritual practice with photography and painting for more mindful self-expression. Through a deeper understanding of ourselves we find our way back to the essence of who we are with clarity and lack of judgment. There will be exercises to move you more toward gratitude, opportunities to focus on your physical well being (because it feels good to feel good!) and connection with like-minded women where you can discuss and share your experiences in a safe supportive environment. Mix all that with rest and rejuvenation and you’ve got the ingredients for a more Brave • Soul*Full • Intuitive You!

Trusting Your Intuition

This is a process-based retreat that will empower you with a toolbox of new techniques as well as a new perspective to approach your work. This is a very playful, supported, and forgiving experience and no prior painting, photography or background in spirituality is necessary. All you need is an open mind. Trust – you are an artist already. So what are you waiting for?!!

The constantly shifting colors and variations of light make the park the perfect place to cultivate your creativity. If you are adventurous, the many hikes and trails (at all levels) allow you the time to merge with nature, quiet your mind and settle in deep peace. Ancestral Puebloans must have felt the same way too as artifacts have been found in the park that date back to 7000 BC!

• A beautiful healing weekend in Florida out of the February chill?
• The opportunity to share and grow in a sacred circle of Goddesses?
• Some peace and quiet to center yourself and detach from life’s insanity?
• A chance to focus on YOU, what you are feeling and needing in this moment?

Too often as women we spend our time devoted to our parents, children, partners, and work – along with maintaining a busy schedule filled from morning to night every day. Finding time to dedicate to ourselves for massage, meditation or even a quiet moment is a real challenge!

But on this special weekend before Valentine’s Day we celebrate and honor our inner beauty, strength and love within a sacred circle of sisterhood. It’s time to put time aside to recharge, rejuvenate, and re-center ourselves. Together we will walk the labyrinth, share in a fire and pipe ceremony, experience a singing bowl meditation and so much more – all designed to help you to release those feelings of being off balanced, overworked or whatever is blocking your peace and sanity.

A Little “Peace” of Paradise

Our sacred space will be at the Duncan Conference Center in Delray Beach, Florida. Their five-wooded acres of peace and serenity, delicious and nutritious food, clean and spacious accommodations, are located only 30 minutes from the Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale airports.

The facilities include 2 labyrinths, an outdoor swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. The labyrinth’s design is based on the circle, the universal symbol of unity and wholeness and is a spiritual tool for growth, discernment, prayer and healing which we will use during our stay.

The simplest and most basic meaning of the symbol of the Goddess
is the acknowledgment of the legitimacy of female power as
a beneficent and independent power.

Balancing Darkness & Light

In many calendars autumn heralds the beginning of a new cycle and a new year. On the autumn equinox, day and night are of equal length reminding us that we too must honor the light and darkness within. It’s easy to focus on our divine nature and light while we push away, deny and fear the darkness within. By releasing the things that no longer serve us, by bringing our regrets, sorrows, and resentments (our darkness) into the light, and by forgiving ourselves – we can live our lives from a place of wholeness and love, opening our hearts to the at-one-ment.

The At-One-Ment

The time frame for our Sedona retreat happens to be during the sacred Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Beginning with Rosh Hashanah – until Yom Kippur which is the day of Atonement (the at-one-ment with Spirit/God), the veils between the worlds are thin making it a perfect time to reflect on the past year and to commit to dreaming a healthier future filled with our deepest intentions. Indeed – you don’t have to be Jewish to appreciate this mythology (as this journey is not about religion, but about expressing our divine nature). You only need the desire to open your heart and mind to more powerful opportunities for love and light in your life.

Vision Quests & Healing Ceremonies

We’ll be gathering at the charming Briar Patch Inn located along beautiful Oak Creek in Sedona which vibrates at a high frequency. Using the techniques of the vision quest, shamanistic dreaming, meditation and ceremony we will embrace our oneness with the land and each other. From this vantage point you will clearly see how you are preventing yourself from becoming all you can be in this lifetime. A beautiful healing massage is also part of the retreat package.

The Mystery of the Havasu Canyon

Folks say that you haven’t fully lived until you’ve experienced the Grand Canyon. This journey takes you through the heart and soul of the canyon and will leave you with a sense of accomplishment, awe and a true appreciation and love of one of the grandest places on earth.

You might ask what is Havasupai? Havasu Canyon is one of over 600 side canyons forming the 280-mile long Grand Canyon. While over 5 million people per year visit Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim, very few venture to the remote Havasupai Indian Reservation deep in the heart of Grand Canyon.

Home to towering 200-foot waterfalls, beautiful cascades, and tropical blue-green pools this lush oasis is considered the “gem” of the Grand Canyon. The Havasupai or Havasu Baaja currently has 650 tribal members of which approximately 450 live in the village of Supai and all members speak their native language. Pai means people and Havasupai means “people of the blue-green water.”
