		<description><![CDATA[One-on-one mentoring intensives are private time working with a teacher who guides you in creating the dream of peace and centeredness in your life. I say dream of your life, because it doesn't matter what anyone else wants in life - only you know what is happiness for you. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Live with Clarity ~ Lead with Power ~ Love with Awareness</em></strong></h2>
<p><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>You know</strong></em> you&#8217;re a good person and deserve <em>the best in life</em>.<br />
And <em><strong>you know</strong></em> that life shouldn&#8217;t have to be so difficult.<br />
But even though<em><strong> you know</strong></em> that deep in your heart, <em><strong>do you still</strong></em>&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Wake up</strong> wondering whose life you&#8217;re living?</li>
<li><strong>Feel like</strong> you&#8217;re lacking clarity?</li>
<li><strong>Find yourself </strong>short-tempered, frustrated or unhappy?</li>
<li><strong>Wish your</strong> relationships were more supportive and loving?</li>
<li><strong>Want to</strong> forgive and move on, but can&#8217;t?</li>
<li><strong>Crave freedom</strong> from your own life and mind?</li>
</ul>
<p><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4148 alignright" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 6px;" title="sherisquare1" src="http://www.journeysofthespirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sherisquare1-300x275.jpg" alt="Sheri Rosenthal" width="240" height="220" /><em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Are you ready to break out of the box you call  reality? </strong></span></em>If so &#8211; join me (<a href="http://www.journeysofthespirit.com/why-choose-us/about-us/" target="_blank"><strong>click here to read about Sheri</strong>)</a> for a <em><strong>Personal Intensive. </strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>It&#8217;s a powerful experience</strong> and is a great way to jump-start your life.  In my experience, the root of most people&#8217;s issues is a belief system that is<em> <strong>sabotaging</strong></em> their life &#8211; rather than <strong><em>supporting</em></strong> it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Imagine what life could be like if you were calm and centered no matter what situation you faced in life</strong>, rather than emotional and unclear. What if you no longer took people&#8217;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 &#8211; <em>it is possible</em>.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Take a moment to scroll down the page</strong> and <a href="#comments"><strong>read some of the comments</strong></a><br />
people had about <em>their</em> experience of this program!<br />
<span></span><br />
<span></span></p>
<h2><strong>Sheri, how will I benefit? You&#8217;ll learn to&#8230;</strong></h2>
<p><span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Take positive action</strong> in life &#8211; regardless of anxiety or fear.</li>
<li><strong>No longer feel victimized</strong> by the people in your life.</li>
<li><strong>Deal with people openly,</strong> without taking their actions and words to heart.</li>
<li><strong>Let go of the burdens</strong> of the past, forgive and move on with gratitude and joy.</li>
<li><strong>Reclaim your self-esteem</strong> and greater life purpose.</li>
<li><strong>Replace anger</strong> with focused clarity.</li>
<li><strong>No longer fear confrontation,</strong> or be a doormat for others.</li>
<li><strong>Come to a place of self-acceptance,</strong> no matter what actions you took in the past.</li>
<li><strong>Clearly identify your limiting beliefs,</strong> their origin and true purpose &#8211; empowering you to make <em>healthier</em> life choices.</li>
<li><strong>Utilize specific tools</strong> to help you live courageously, boldly, and with your head held high.</li>
</ul>
<p><span></span><br />
<span></span></p>
<h2><strong>Who would NOT benefit from an Intensive?</strong></h2>
<p><span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Anyone strongly <strong>invested in being a victim</strong> <strong>or</strong> being right over being happy.</li>
<li><strong>People who are lazy</strong> and won&#8217;t do their &#8220;homework.&#8221;</li>
<li>Those <strong>unwilling to make an investment in themselves</strong> because they don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re worth it.</li>
<li><strong>Anyone who thinks I have a magic wand</strong> and can fix them &#8211; rather than coming here to get support so they can change themselves.</li>
<li><strong>Those who have no faith </strong>that their life can actually be <em>great</em>!</li>
</ul>
<p><span></span><br />
<span></span></p>
<h2><strong>What’s the schedule?</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6372 alignright" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 6px;" title="florida" src="http://www.journeysofthespirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/florida-300x197.jpg" alt="Intensives in Florida" width="300" height="197" /><strong>Figure we’ll spend around 3-4 hours together in the morning</strong> and then you’ll do your journaling/homework in the afternoon. <strong>Then we’ll catch back up for approximately 1 hour in the evening</strong> to re-cap.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>You&#8217;ll fill out a <a href="/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IntensivesApp.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>questionnaire</strong></a> before the event </strong>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.</p>
<p><span></span><br />
<span></span></p>
<h2><strong>Where are the intensives located?</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The intensives take place in St Petersburg, Florida (Tampa Bay). <strong>It&#8217;s a lovely place to take time to reflect upon your life and walking on the beach is both beautiful and peaceful.</strong> You&#8217;ll stay either at my town-home (available from May &#8211; October) or you can stay at the funky <a href="http://www.postcardinn.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Postcard Inn</strong></a> on St Pete Beach (or any other hotel on the beach) during the other months.</p>
<p><span></span><br />
<span></span></p>
<h2><strong>How do I get there?</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>You would need to fly into the Tampa or St Pete/Clearwater, Florida airports</strong>. You can drive here too if you like &#8211; that&#8217;s not a problem.</p>
<p><span></span><br />
<span></span></p>
<h2><strong>How long should I stay?</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Commonly folks stay 3 days, but it&#8217;s up to you.</strong> I feel it&#8217;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.</p>
<p><span></span><br />
<span></span></p>
<h2><strong>What are the costs involved?</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>You have to figure in your flight or drive to my home, and your food.</strong> You&#8217;ll have access the the kitchen if you are staying at the house (available only from May-Oct) &#8211; you can pick up groceries and cook. If you are staying at the hotel, then you&#8217;ll be either eating-out or picking up food at the Publix grocery store (some hotels on the beach do have kitchens).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>As for the cost of the program</strong> &#8211; it depends on how we set it up, number of days and hours. I suggest filling out <a href="/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IntensivesApp.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>this questionnaire</strong></a> and faxing or emailing it over to me immediately so we can discuss creating something perfect for you. <strong>You must feel like you and your sanity are worth it</strong> &#8211; 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 &#8211; you are welcome to pay out your intensive!</p>
<p><span></span><br />
<span></span></p>
<h2><strong>**This is the bottom line:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>You can do one hour sessions once a month for a year (like in therapy),</strong> 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. <em>That is extremely significant</em>. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Who wants to take a year to resolve something that can be dealt with in one weekend?</em></strong></p>
<p><span></span><br />
<span></span></p>
<h2><strong>Interested? Here&#8217;s what you can do:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="mailto:journeys@journeysofthespirit.com">Email me</a> directly with several dates that you feel would work for you and your <a href="/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IntensivesApp.pdf" target="_blank">application</a></strong>. I&#8217;d be happy to chat with you for ~20 minutes about what you want to accomplish and how I can help!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>You can listen to listen to my <a href="http://recordings.freeconferencecalling.com/mp3/538349/538349/MN2124_06022011174000092_1053361.mp3" target="_blank"><em>Living With Clarity, Leading With Power &amp; Loving With Awareness</em></a></strong> teleclass – which illustrates a mini-session giving you and idea of the process.</p>
<p><span></span><br />
<span></span></p>
<h2><strong>Recommended Books:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>These are a few books that I feel will help you prepare for your upcoming Intensive</strong>. Please enjoy these recommendations. If you click on the book itself it will link you to Amazon.com.</p>

<h2><strong>Opening to Spirit</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Through specially crafted experiences and adventures, you will find yourself falling in love with the Balinese way of life. Centered around a group of temples, every community is cohesive and cooperative &#8211; illustrating what our world could be like if we all worked together. <strong>Music, art, theater, work and religious practice is all one in the same and every action is taken as an offering to Spirit.</strong> They believe that the physical world is permeated by the spiritual world &#8211; <em>sekala niskala</em> (meaning visible-invisible) &#8211; and this is a great source of inspiration.</p>
<h2><strong>Blessings of Bali</strong></h2>

		<description><![CDATA[On this spiritual journey we'll get close-up and personal with the Grey Whales, sending them energy and love. We'll be staying at Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico - whale watching and connecting with these powerful mammals. Just for a moment, imagine touching and connecting to one of these majestic mammals - running your hand over her bumpy back, looking deeply into her eye as she rolls over in the waters.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Grey Whales are amazing creatures living 50-60 years, growing to over 50 feet, and weighing around 36 tons! </strong>It is with great respect and concern for their conservation and protection that we embark on this whale watching journey of the heart. Each year in October the Grey Whales make a <strong>2-3 month </strong>journey of 5,000–6,800 miles (8,000–11,000 km)<strong> from the Bering Sea down to the western coast of Baja Mexico to give birth to their calves (perfect for whale watching).</strong> By late March they are ready to make their way back north with their young children &#8211; well fed for the long journey north. (This trip only runs from January to late March)</p>

<h2><strong>Connecting with the Whales</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On this special journey, we will get close-up and personal with the Grey Whales, sending them energy and love. <strong>Just for a moment, imagine touching and connecting to one of these majestic mammals &#8211; running your hand over her bumpy back, looking deeply into her eye as she rolls over in the waters. There is something amazingly magical and transformational that happens when you look into the eyes of one of these creatures.</strong> There&#8217;s no description for the feeling of meeting a Grey Whale and her babies up-close &#8211; witnessing this beauty is a special experience. <strong>Do take a moment to watch the video on the right!</strong> &#8211;&gt;</p>
<h2><strong>Magdalena Bay Habitat </strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>We&#8217;ll be staying on Magdalena Bay in comfortable walk-in tents along the beach, with special showers, and yummy Mexican food. </strong>Magdalena Bay is ranked by the World Wildlife Fund as one of the nine most important coastal habitats in all of Mexico. Each evening our local guide will chat about the whales and wildlife of the area giving us a deeper appreciation of this delicate ecologic balance. <strong>Water activities feature whale watching from skiffs and paddling kayaks through tangled mangrove estuaries rich with wildlife.</strong> On land, you&#8217;ll have fun walking on – or tumbling down – towering sand dunes, along miles of unspoiled beaches.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Truly the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon are two of the most amazing sacred structures in the world &#8211; pyramids designed to focus and transform energy and light.</strong> Using the layout of the city as a model for transcendence, we spend four days changing our dream of frustration and suffering, to a dream of inner peace and heaven. The energy here is perfect to support our personal growth and development. <strong>Discover all the things that have been preventing you from expressing yourself fully and authentically in this lifetime.</strong></p>

<h2><strong>A Dream of Transcendence</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Just as the ancient Toltecs did here at Teotihuacán</strong>, we too will practice the three masteries for personal freedom: Awareness, Transformation and Intent. You&#8217;ll have the opportunity to focus on the beauty within you, the light, the magic and all the possibilities you hold waiting to unfold! Your guides will open you to the energy here and share with you places that most tourist never get to see or experience. You&#8217;ll work with local healers, artisans, and curanderas. </p>
<h2><strong>The Dreaming House</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This magical city is located approximately one hour northeast of Mexico City</strong>. We stay at the <strong><a href="http://thedreaminghousemx.com/" target="_blank">The Dreaming House</a></strong>, behind a gated wall in the village of San Sebastian Xolopan, adjacent to the ancient city of Teotihuacán. Within its spacious compound are a dozen rooms decorated with the art of Mexico’s past, both recent and distant. The rooms have modern conveniences, but no modern annoyances.</p>
<h2><strong>Be Part of our Warrior&#8217;s Party</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The atmosphere is reminiscent of the home of don Juan’s warrior&#8217;s party</strong>, as described in the books of Carlos Castaneda. One expects time to stretch and space to bend. Miracles seem normal, and are. Meals in the spacious and gracious dining hall are miraculous in themselves, country Mexican food prepared with skill and love. It’s a magical place for a magical time. Join us for this adventure to one of the most energetically powerful places.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive &#8211; the risk to be alive and express what we really are.”<br />

</center></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>If so</em> &#8211; you will be joined on this journey byour guide, Romulo Castilla a Peruvian Shaman</strong>, a great source of the ancient Inca teachings and traditions. Along with several other local shamans, you will participate in heart-opening ceremonies to help you <strong>connect with the spirit of the land and Pachamama</strong>. There will also be the opportunity to have healing sessions with <strong>Romulo who practices Pranic Healing</strong>, a simple yet powerful and effective no-touch energy healing. It is based on the fundamental principle that the body is a “self-repairing” living entity that possesses the innate ability to heal itself.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Extend your stay (visit  Aramu Muro &amp; the Floating Islands)!<br />
Join us in Lake Titicaca, October 23-25th</em><br />
</strong></h6>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h2><strong>Highlights Of Your Adventure:</strong></h2>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Be in the presence </strong>of the Apu&#8217;s (mountain Spirits) at Machu Picchu</li>
<li><strong>Merge energetically</strong> with the sacred sites of Ollantaytambo, Pisac &amp; Sacsayhuaman</li>
<li>Work with the energies of Moray and <strong>connect with the womb of the Mother Earth</strong> (Pachamama)</li>
<li><strong>Rebirth your sacred self</strong> in the cave of Kusillucchayoc</li>
<li><strong>Hike to the top</strong> of Wayna Picchu or to the Temple of the Moon</li>

<li><strong>Participate in ceremonies </strong>&amp; despachos with traditional local shamans</li>
<li><strong>Share the wisdom </strong>of our expert spiritual guide Romulo Castilla</li>

<li><strong>Stand in the portal of Aramu Muro</strong>, a huge mysterious door-like structure (“A gateway to the lands of the gods”)</li>
</ul>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h2><strong>Consciousness of Light</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>There is a story of a long-foretold alignment of the Earth</strong> with the axis of the Milky Way galaxy announcing a new dawn. In Peru, descendants of the Inca call this time the Pachakuti, &#8220;the return of the light&#8221; after 500 years of darkness. Peru is said to be the &#8220;morning of the new sun&#8221; &#8211; <strong>the portal through which rays of the new light will begin to awaken humanity to a new consciousness</strong>. Come be with us for healing and transformation at <strong>one of the earth&#8217;s most powerful and sacred vortexes of energy</strong>, where Inti the sun god unites with Pachamama, the Andean mother earth. In celebration of 2012, it is important to be in the heart-centered energy of of Machu Picchu during these turbulent times.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;In the variety of its charms and the power of its spell, I know of no place in the world which can compare with it. Not only has it great snow peaks looming above the clouds more than two miles overhead, gigantic precipices of many-colored granite rising sheer for thousands of feet above the foaming, glistening, roaring rapids; it has also, in striking contrast, orchids and tree ferns, the delectable beauty of luxurious vegetation, and the mysterious witchery of the jungle.&#8221;<br />
~ Hiram Bingham, discoverer of Machu Picchu in Lost City of the Incas.</p></blockquote>
<h2><strong>Unsolved Mysteries</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Of all the sacred sites, Machu Picchu is amongst the most mysterious. </strong>Truly there are more questions asked than answered regarding its purpose and ultimate demise. Five square miles of astrological perfection sits majestically on top of a misty mountain in the Andes (8000 feet). Located two thousand feet above the rumbling Urubamba river, the city remained untouched and undiscovered until Yale archaeologist Hiram Bingham explored it in 1911&#8230;</p>

<h2><strong>The Last Shangri-La</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The retreat center is located in Spiti, India.</strong> 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 &#8211; enthralling peaks, gorges, rivers &amp; 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 &#8211; a little world of its own. A true Shangri-La.</p>
<h2><strong>Deep in the Himalayas</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Blue Mango</em> rests at a height of 12,500 ft above sea level, on the beautiful pebble beach of the Spiti River.</strong> 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&#8217;s exquisite creation, is where your spiritual journey takes flight.</p>
<h2><strong>Rejuvenation of your Body-Mind-Spirit</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Every single day of the retreat has been carefully planned to enhance your spiritual, inner work and healing experience, </strong>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.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Life is a journey and we don&#8217;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”.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[On this powerful spiritual healing journey to Abadiania, Brazil we will experience faith healer John of God, and deeply explore the aspects within us that are contributing to our suffering and pain. Of course there are no guarantees on this journey - it's about total faith and surrender. What we're being asked to surrender is individual to each of us, and what we're being asked to have faith in is our power as spirit as it channels through John of God for our highest good - whatever that is for us.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>For thousands of years shamans and faith healers have functioned under the belief that physical illness results from imbalances within our emotional and energy bodies which ultimately express through the physical body.</strong> Even science has begun to recognize the importance in addressing the spiritual aspect of dis-ease and the value of alternative, holistic and integrative medicine modalities. On this powerful spiritual journey to Abadiania, Brazil we will experience <strong>faith healer John of God</strong>, and deeply explore the aspects within us that are contributing to our suffering and pain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6199 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 6px;" title="jog1" src="http://www.journeysofthespirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/jog1.jpg" alt="John of God" width="385" height="253" /></p>
<h2><strong>Surrender &amp; Faith</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course there are no guarantees on this journey &#8211; it&#8217;s about total faith and surrender. <strong>What we&#8217;re being asked to surrender is individual to each of us, and what we&#8217;re being asked to have faith in is our power as spirit as it channels through John of God for our highest good &#8211; whatever that is for us.</strong> But no matter what your experience is on this journey, you will learn how to move beyond being victimized by your condition and recognize the teacher in your dis-ease. Becoming the master of the story you tell about your situation is extremely powerful &#8211; that alone can change your life and the way you choose to live it.</p>
<h2><strong>Miracles &amp; Blessings</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the Casa de Dom Inacio miracles happen on a daily basis. <strong>Often those miracles are not what we come <em>expecting</em> to experience, but they are always <em>exactly</em> what we need for our spiritual healing and personal development. </strong>If you are ready to change your relationship with your suffering, whether it is emotional, physical or both &#8211; join <strong>Anita Fuller on this spiritual healing journey of the heart</strong>. Anita is the perfect person to support you on this journey as she has spent the best part of every year since 2003 with John of God in his healing center and is well known around the healing center, serving as a medium and helping in the spiritual operation rooms, helping with guided visualizations in the current/meditation rooms and bringing groups to be with John of God. </p>
<h2><strong>Want to Join Us?</strong></h2>
