Mentoring Our Lives
Are you ready to take your life into new directions and cultivate a deepening awareness of your own journey? Balinese indigenous knowledge teaches us new ways to mentor our own lives by using living leadership principles coming from our collective ancestors. Join in a fascinating experience to awaken indigenous wisdom living within YOU. Share stories and grow into new ones. Become more present with how synchronicity is available at every given moment. Learn to be in service to your deepest longings, and explore the power of “place” using ritual and ceremony. Learn new practices, release obstacles to your awakening, engage deep listening, and find the “healer” living within.
Initiating Our Soul
There is no other place on Earth that allows one to instinctively enter into initiation like Bali. We will take full advantage of the power and potency of this sacred island for the next steps emerging on your soul’s journey. This spiritual quest will be like a pilgrimage to your inner worlds that include temple visits, ceremonial journeys, sessions with indigenous wisdom-keepers and ancient healers, and special meetings with remarkable cultural leaders. More details about this extraordinary journey will be discussed at our first session. Part II is optional and not required in order to participate in Part I or visa versa.

The Poetics of Relationship
The Journey from Grievance to Gratitude
Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.
Always work with it, not against it.
Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy.
This will miraculously transform your life. - Eckhart Tolle

Whether you are a person struggling with your relationship, going through a breakup, looking for a new and different relationship, divorcing or separating, this workshop will serve you for the rest of your life.
This workshop is about healing the biggest hurt that life can inflict: the ending of a dream; the loss of a love, a life, or a life style or healing a pattern of relationship that just does not work.
It is so important to know that dreams and intentions never have to be lost, and that the life you want can be yours. When you awaken, then you are given back to your self. That is the wonder of this workshop. It will give you back to yourself by letting you see that you have never lost, and can never lose, what you imagine your self to have lost: The truth of who you are!
Mindful Partnership ~ Mindful Divorce: The Journey from Grievance to Gratitude enables you to use your relationship, break up, divorce, or relationship struggles to improve your life. Your experience becomes one of gain and joy rather than loss and suffering. Rather than staying stuck in the experience of your broken heart, your suffering or your depression, Mindful Partnership ~ Mindful Divorce: The Journey from Grievance to Gratitude calls you to reconnect to the highest aspects of your Self. It is here in the presence of your own light that you can reclaim your power, your joy, and the limitless freedom to create the life of your dreams.
This transformational workshop will show you that pain and change are the keys that open the door to a deeper understanding of the human experience. This weekend workshop will teach you how to use the suffering that is present in your life or relationship as a catalyst for creating an extraordinary life. Using ritual, ceremony, dialogue, meditation, journaling and individualized techniques along with group sharing you will:
- Regain your self-confidence, clarity and excitement for what is possible in your life
- Learn powerful tools to gain new levels of awareness and self-love
- Apply this knowledge and understanding immediately to your life, relationships and your family through weekly action steps and homework activities
- Connect with the support from your community who are going through similar experiences and benefit from their wisdom and insights.

Rite of Passage /Vision Quest
August 2012
You are invited to participate in a Rite of Passage and Vision Quest with Dr. Illana Berger. Illana is a spiritual counselor, meditation teacher, ritualist, Jewish shamanic healer, and wisdom keeper.
Life is no longer about merely transcending the world but about embracing what it means to consciously co-create the future. Until very recently, Spirit, or the Creative Principle, was something that we asked for help from. We've reached a time in our evolution when Spirit, which is the energy and intelligence that created the universe, is who we are as our Authentic Self.
This mysterious impulse to evolve is nothing less than Spirit becoming aware of herself, himself, itself, as you. In this awakening, you directly know that the future depends upon you. Traditionally, the vision seeker would aspire to transcend ego in order to abide in the timeless ground of being. But this is not really what the world needs now. All of us must resist the temptation to get lost in timelessness and begin to embrace the overwhelming urgency of these times. We are being called to bridge the gap between our capacity to intellectually appreciate the world's problems and our willingness to actually become the solution ourselves.
It is very heroic to embrace the darkest parts of your self without wincing - to know that both the good and the negative live inside of you simultaneously. You are not striving to become a saint, and you must not be afraid to meet the darkness in your spirit. I want you to be free and I want you to also serve a future that is sustainable. And because you want to be free, you no longer want to act out of unconscious, shallow motives in a way that will have karmic consequences in the world so that you can fearlessly embrace the reason you are here at all, in this lifetime, in this body, walking this journey.
This is what a Rite of Passage is all about and is the very purpose of Vision Quest.
As preparation for your quest we will begin with a preliminary meeting for personal guidance, setting your intentions and meeting one another. It is here that we will begin the process of initiation and the building of your community of travelers.
You will begin your initiation by meeting the Ancestors and Spirits of the land of Mount Shasta, Ca. Then, you will find your “spot.” This is the place where you will be guided by the land and nature. Each participant will receive a individualized rituals and ceremonies that will guide you on the land.
Preparation inludes a meeting, a medicine walk, a nature ritual and preparation of prayer ties for your journey; The Vision Quest will take place on the sacred lands in Mount Shasta, California
PREPARATION DATES:
TBD & Intergration Ceremony TBD
FEES: $2500 - includes all preparation days, 6 days on the land, food, lodging, vision quest blanket, earth ritual, and all necessary support.
