Healing Journey | |

"If a living system is suffering from ill health, the remedy is to connect it with more of itself." Francisco Varella "Strength of heart comes from knowing that the pain that we each must bear is part of the greater pain shared by all that lives. It is not just 'our' pain but 'theÕ pain, and realizing this awakens our universal compassion." Jack Kornfield |

Living (and Working) on Purpose | |

For many people this is a time for radical re-definition and re-creation as we pause and reflect more deeply on the purpose, meaning, priorities,
and directions of our lives. This personal vacation experience offers inspiration and support to help you find clear direction, inspiration, and
passion for the next stages of your life~work~relationships. Come and clarify your personal values. Identify, question, or redefine the "stories"
that weave your identity. Recognize options and discover new dimensions of freedom & possibility. Deepen your intuitive intelligence, build your
resilience, and clarify a life purpose that affirms your highest, noblest potentials for how you choose to live. Ideal for individuals, couples,
or teams. "I came here with my soul in pain, confused, lost and my body screaming for help. While here, I found calm, physical healing, time to think and explore. It was clear that "a path with heart" was missing in my life. In 11 days here, I feel that I have taken more control and accountability for who I am and where I am going. Thanks for the help, support, and friendship." F.W. "There comes a time in the spiritual journey when you start making choices from a very different place. . . And if a choice lines up so that it supports truth, health, happiness, wisdom, and love, itÕs the right choice." Angeles Arrien | |

"And in all of my experience, IÕve never seen lasting solutions to problems, lasting happiness and success, that came from the outside in." Stephen Covey "I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit." Dawna Markova |

"The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell - donÕt go back to sleep. You have to ask for what you really want - donÕt go back to sleep. You know, there are those who go back and forth over the threshold where the two worlds meet, and the door, it's always open, and it's round - don't go back to sleep." Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi |

"The need to relinquish our certainty lies at the heart both of modern science and ancient spirituality. From the science of Complexity, Illya Priogogine tells us that 'The future is uncertainÉbut such uncertainty lies at the heart of human creativity. It is uncertainty that creates the space for invention. We must let go, clear the space and leap into the void of not knowing, if we want to discover anything new.'" Margaret Wheatley |
