		<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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>High up in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas there is a small town called McLeod Ganj that is home to the most famous refugee in the world, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. </strong> Since the cultural revolution in Tibet thousands of Tibetans have arrived in this Indian town more widely known as Dharamsala, bringing with them all the sacred wisdom and teachings of Tibetan Buddhism.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>People travel from all over the world, surpassing many obstacles along the way,</strong> for the once in a lifetime chance to see His Holiness and learn from him! On this special journey of the heart, <strong>Tibetan Lama Buga and Lisa Tully</strong> will be leading our group to McLeod Ganj, India to attend public teachings by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, and to learn Buddhist meditation from teachers of his lineage and be with his local Tibetan family.</p>

<h2><strong>The Heart of the Buddha</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Attending the public teachings by His Holiness will afford you the opportunity to experience the immense power of this man&#8217;s heart.</strong> He refers to himself as &#8220;a simple monk&#8221; but rest assured this is an incredible, albeit typically Tibetan, understatement.  Although His Holiness tirelessly travels the globe reaching out to as many &#8220;brothers and sisters&#8221; as possible, the authenticity of seeing him reach out to his own people in his home temple is a totally different experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>For example, looking around you will see devotees falling into deep states of meditation simply by being in his presence.</strong> People bursting into tears at the mere sight of him as he gently opens hearts that little bit wider. As the saying goes &#8220;a broken heart is an open heart.&#8221;</p>
<h2><strong>Deepening Your Practice</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Our meditation retreat is a 10 day silent retreat run by the internationally renowned <a href="http://www.tushita.info/" target="_blank">Tushita Meditation Centre</a>. </strong>Nestled high up in the forests far away from any hustle and bustle, this welcoming haven is perfect for those who want to get away and explore their true nature.  This is a serious retreat that will provide the tools needed to begin or enhance a daily meditation practice and to learn more about Tibetan Buddhism.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>McLeod Ganj is also know as &#8220;Little Lhasa&#8221; as it is filled to the brim with Tibetan lamas, monks and nuns meditating for the benefit of all sentient beings</strong> in the many monasteries, nunneries and secluded retreats scattered around the hilltops. The vibration of this sacred place is so high that it provides the perfect setting to embark on a special journey of meditation and spiritual growth.</p>

is teaching his Akashic Records Intensive here.</em></span></strong></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. It’s a magical place for a magical time.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>If so, join inspirational speaker and author Sheri Rosenthal and New Thought teacher Frankie Timmers for a very special journey to the Mayan Heartland</strong> to embrace the new consciousness of 2012 and delve into the source of our sacred center. Uxmal was a <em>university of sacred spirituality and cosmic harmony</em> whose information is stored in the stones ready for us to access and embody.  Through powerful ceremonies and spiritual practices we will connect with universal wisdom and truth residing within &#8211; beautifully reflected in the design and purpose of these ruins.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Uxmal means &#8220;thrice built,&#8221; reflecting the underworld, middle world, and upper worlds of the human cosmology.</strong> The underworld represents the shadow aspects of ourselves that we have rejected and must retrieve, accept and honor in ourselves to be whole.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Becoming fully aware of the integral oneness of your three worlds</strong> will allow you to <em>live boldly</em> from your sacred center. THIS is the space where the Divine flows unobstructed by the illusion of the ego and its limiting perspectives &#8211; where you are free to live fully in the light of your integrity and unconditional love. <em><strong>THIS is living from your Sacred Center!</strong></em></p>

		<description><![CDATA[On this heart-felt spiritual journey to Bhutan, Land of the Thunder Dragon, we'll visit Bhutan’s National Day celebration at Changlingmithang National Stadium, and immerse ourselves in ancient tradition. We'll also visit the very rare and endangered Black Necked Cranes in Phobjikha and as a special gift, a Lama will be preparing a prayer and blessing ceremony for us. Through meditation, chanting, prayer and ceremony - we will expand our consciousness and cultivate the compassion of Buddha within us.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Not many people have actually heard about Bhutan</strong> &#8211; Land of the Thunder Dragon, or even know where it is located. For many years this little country about the size of Switzerland has been off limits of foreigners. If you look at a map you will find Bhutan to be east of Nepal at the same latitude, with a tiny piece of India separating the two countries – and the northern edge touching the Himalayas. You must realize that Bhutan is not like any place you are likely to travel to.</p>

<h2><strong>Finding the Buddha Within</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The people are Tantric Buddhists who also have a Shamanistic background called Bon</strong> &#8211; and a fantastic history filled with legends and mythology. In fact, one of the highlights of our spiritual journey is hiking to Tiger&#8217;s Nest where Guru Rinpoche flew to on the back of a flaming tigress! Indeed, the monasteries are magical and beautiful in ways that I cannot begin to describe.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Everyone who visits is touched in the most astonishing ways</strong>, by the landscape, the heart of the people, and their philosophies. By the time we leave, the experience will have opened your heart in a manner that that is totally unexpected. <strong>Author and Aikido master Wendy Palmer invites you to join her on this magical and sacred pilgrimage</strong>. Through meditation, chanting, prayer and ceremony we will expand our consciousness and cultivate the compassion of Buddha within.</p>
<h2><strong>Compassion &amp; Blessings</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Thankfully we&#8217;ll have the opportunity</strong> to spend a day at Bhutan’s National Day celebration at Changlingmithang National Stadium. There will a special procession, mask dances, cultural programs and folk dances and songs. We&#8217;ll also spend time visiting the very rare and endangered Black Necked Cranes in Phobjikha. And as a special gift, a Lama will be preparing a prayer and blessing ceremony for us. As service is an important part of our spiritual experience, you are welcome to bring children&#8217;s books, blankets or anything you would like to donate to the Bhutanese people during our visit.</p>
<h2><strong>Deepening our Wisdom and Compassion for Action</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This trip is designed in the context of spiritual practice and our intent will be to strengthen our connection to wisdom, energy and compassion.</strong> Anyone with a committed and regular practice is welcome to participate. We will practice a <em>Conscious Embodiment</em> approach to meditation that works with a balance between concentration and awareness. Like most embodiment practices this approach to mindfulness seeks to recognize thoughts as habit and choose the openness of wisdom and compassion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The<em> Conscious Embodiment</em> centering and partner exercises will be part of our daily ritual. </strong> These exercises will be designed to enhance our experience of the environment to allow for a strong somatic imprint so that inspiration can be accessible and transferable long after our trip is over. Each person will be asked to have a skill and a quality to work with in order to discover a deeper place of commitment and inspiration during our journey. You will receive more information about this process when you sign up.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Using the mythology, stories and archetypes of the ancients we come to understand who we really are &#8211; <strong>the limitless consciousness that creates the very fabric of this reality.</strong> We&#8217;ll experience the powerful energies at these sacred sites &#8211; compelling us to transcend rather than being enslaved by the old stories and mythologies of our ego-minds. <strong>It is said that during the journey to the afterlife the god Anubis weighs your heart against a feather &#8211; and only if your heart is as light as that feather will you have eternal life.</strong> By letting go of the stories which weigh heavy on our hearts, we too can be free and embrace our eternal consciousness.</p>
<h2><strong>Ancient Stones</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Our adventure in Egypt begins in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Giza</strong>, where stone meets sky as a testament to one of the greatest civilizations on earth. Here, on the plateau of Giza, 2,300,000 blocks of stone, some weighing as much as 9 tons, were used to build an eternal tomb for a divine king. The art, design and proportion of these structures were truly a testament to their beliefs of resurrection, transformation and divine illuminated consciousness. <strong>When these ancient stones speak to us, whispering their mysteries and wonders, we will be ready.</strong></p>

<h2><strong>Spiritual Wisdom &#038; Culture</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>We&#8217;re blessed to have a knowledgeable Egyptologist </strong>who will accompany us, sharing his enthusiasm and wisdom of this incredible culture.  <strong>Reading John Anthony West&#8217;s book: The Traveler&#8217;s Key to Ancient Egypt: A Guide to the Sacred Places of Ancient Egypt</strong> (&lt;&#8211; Look in our recommended books) is a great way to prepare for this journey! It&#8217;s not a typical travel book, but instead focuses on the spiritual intent of these amazing structures.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>If so</em> &#8211; this Woman’s Safari of the Soul with author Sheri Rosenthal and </strong><strong> LUX World Travel owner </strong><strong>Melinda Johnson will embrace you on every level of your mind, body and spirit.</strong> Through heart-felt circles, ceremony, meditation, and connection with our mother-earth – we will celebrate Africa, the Motherland of life. As sisters, we will honor the earth and ourselves by discovering and re-connecting to the innate rhythm of our deep personal being.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Discovering our integrity, purpose, peace, and passion</strong> through our experience of adventure, connection and giving will be powerful and fulfilling. <strong>There is no doubt that we will come home transformed, refreshed and inspired </strong>– with an intuitive knowing of where we stand in the world. Connecting with the feminine earth energy and wildlife of the motherland of all humanity is the focus of this amazing spiritual journey to Kenya, Africa.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Ladies, Listen to Sheri &amp; Melinda&#8217;s FREE teleclass:<br />
“Discovering our Integrity, Purpose, Peace, &amp; Passion!”<br />
<a href="http://www.journeysofthespirit.com/safari-teleclass/" target="_blank">Sign-up NOW for the audio recording!</a></strong></span></p>
<h2><strong>Highlights Of Your Adventure: </strong></h2>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Deeply connect </strong>with the Motherland of all humanity</li>
<li><strong>Be in the presence</strong> of some of the most graceful and powerful animals on our earth</li>
<li><strong>Experience the culture</strong> &amp; spiritual philosophy of the Masai people</li>

<li><strong>Share a loving</strong> and non-judgmental women&#8217;s circle of wisdom</li>
<li><strong>Participate in</strong> group ceremonies under the stars</li>
<li><strong>Enjoy our fabulous Safari Camps</strong> for an authentic African connection</li>
<li><strong>Delicious food, fun, laughter</strong> and relaxation!</li>
<li><strong>Explore Sangare</strong>, a 6500 acre private wildlife conservancy</li>
<li><strong>Visit the Kamatongu Primary School</strong>, an in need publicly funded school</li>
<li><strong>Marvel at the Nakuru National Park</strong>, a protected sanctuary for endangered species</li>

<p><span> </span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Giving of Ourselves</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Although Kenya is one of the more stable countries in Africa, poverty and deprivation are rife across the land.</strong> HIV AIDS has resulted in over one million children being left as orphans with no visible means of support or care.<strong> Life expectancy rates have fallen</strong> and thousands of families struggle to survive on a day-to-day basis. With children suffering from the ravages of malnutrition, malaria, and HIV AIDS, the result is an <strong>ever-increasing child mortality rate</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>For our community project, we&#8217;ll visit the Kids Alive Children’s Home</strong> (a Christian organization), and <strong>the Kamatongu Primary School a government supported school</strong> which is in dire need of a permanent source of drinking water. <strong>Proceeds from this journey will provide funds to the school</strong> to help them achieve some of their most dire goals. <em>Our visit will be a powerful opportunity for us to open our hearts in service and experience unconditional love.</em></p>
<blockquote><p>“For Africa to me&#8230; is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.” ~ Maya Angelou</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>If so</em> &#8211; join Toltec Shamans Fu-Ding Cheng and Linda Jacobson for a powerful spiritual journey to Chiapas, Mexico in the heart of the Mayan lands. </strong>Our journey is structured on the shamanic vision of the world of the Upper, Middle and Lower Kingdoms. Participants will have the opportunity to experience directly the power, healing and wisdom of each of these three worlds through specific Mayan sacred sites.<strong> Through ceremony, rituals, and shamanic exercises</strong>, these sites become portals allowing us to enter and tap into their power, for the purpose of healing, transformation, and self-empowerment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This is especially timely with the advent of 2012</strong>, a most auspicious year of the Mayan calendar, and a time of major transformation not only for each of us personally, but also for society and the entire planet. We&#8217;ll feed our souls through the play of shamanic energy, the beauty of the architecture and symbology of the Mayan culture, and through the sublime beauty of nature as seen in the turquoise pools of Aqua Azul and the wild and lush jungles around us.</p>
<h2><strong>Highlights Of Your Adventure:</strong></h2>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Wonderful spiritual teachings</strong>, ceremonies, visualizations &amp; meditations with Linda &amp; Fu-Ding</li>
<li>This power journey is <strong>structured on the shamanic vision of the world</strong>: The Lower, Middle and Upper Kingdoms</li>
<li><strong>Experience the energy</strong> at the Shamanic Church of San Juan Chamula (for the Middle Kingdom of Earth) </li>
<li>Explore the<strong> Pyramid of Tonina</strong> and its powerful underworld mythology (for the Lower Kingdom)</li>
<li>Swim in Aqua Azul&#8217;s <strong>cascading pools of brilliant turquoise (for the Upper Kingdom)</strong></li>
<li>Through ceremony, <strong>birth the new consciousness of 2012</strong> at the sacred site of Palenque (for the integration of all three Kingdoms)</li>
<li>2 nights in the charming colonial town of<strong> San Cristobal de Casas</strong></li>
<li>3 nights at the <strong>Hotel Nututun on the river</strong> in Palenque</li>
</ul>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h2><strong>San Juan Chamula</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>One of the special highlights of this week will be a visit to San Juan Chamula. </strong>This town is home to an amazing church which the people took back from the clergy and converted to a place of traditional shamanism and prayer. The energy here is <em>very powerful</em> and we will participate in a prayer circle for healing, compassion and unconditional love for the time leading up to 2012.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Many believe that the dawning Age of Light or Age of Consciousness defines itself in relation to our capacity for unconditional love, our ability to transcend enemy patterning and victim consciousness while adopting unity consciousness that sees divinity in all things. From this standpoint, it might be said humans are evolving into a &#8216;biologically conscious&#8217; species capable of holding and sharing the full light of unconditional love.&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>There are few places on earth where spirit and terrain have been so intertwined as The Holy Land.</strong> For centuries this region has been a portal for transcendence, a place where ordinary lives stumble into mystery. That mystery has spawned not only the great religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, but countless offshoots such as the Druze, the Samaritans and the Ba’hai faith.</p>

<h2><strong>Many Faiths, One Heart</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Yet for all the differences of these outward traditions, it is the mystical experience that they hold in common.</strong> The story of one person encountering the divine has been the genesis for every religion. It is what Jesus called “The Pearl of Great Price.” That story of personal transcendence is embedded in the scriptures and remains locked in the ambiance and time of this region. But it is also an experience available to ordinary people in the present moment.</p>
<h2><strong>A Sacred Path</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Join </strong><strong><a href="http://www.sherirosenthal.com" target="_blank">Sheri Rosenthal</a> </strong>(owner of JOTS &amp; author of <em>The Complete Idiot&#8217;s Guide to Toltec Wisdom</em>) <strong>for this special exploration of personal transformation. </strong>During our spiritual journey to Israel we’ll travel through time and immerse ourselves in the footsteps of the great spiritual masters. By connecting to these sacred and holy spaces we’ll find our own kingdom of heaven. Your heart will open as you move through these places of prayer and devotion.</p>
<h2><strong>The Divine Mystery</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is not your typical trip to Israel. <strong>Through meditation, teaching, hiking the land and connecting to the culture and mysticism of the people, you will merge with the energy of the holy land and touch its spirit.</strong> And in the process you will engage the Divine Mystery that you are.</p>
<h2><strong>Want to Join Us?</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Questions?</strong> Give us a ring at 727-421-0849 &#8211; we can&#8217;t wait to hear from you!</p>
