Mindful Partnership~Mindful Divorce™ Class 2012 Schedule
The Poetics of Relationship: The Journey from Grievance
to Gratitude
A workshop of healing that will serve you for the rest of your life!
Over 50% of all marriages end in divorce. This is a startling statistic! Most of us who find ourselves struggling in our intimate and important relationships hope that our partner, spouse or friend will get a grip and change. What I know is that we cannot get someone else to make changes. All the changes that we seek in other's can find their origins within ourself. If you are willing and courageous enough to look within, you will discover a path to healing all your relationships.
Mindful Partnership~Mindful Divorce™ offers this workshop to take you from wherever you are with your relationship to a place of deep and abiding gratitude for the gift, the teachings and the wisdom inherent in your struggles and challenges.
Using an enlightened approach to relationship, divorce, separation and reconciliation, clients are able to transform their lives from grievance to gratitude. Offering a weekend course called: Relationship: The Journey From Grievance to Gratitude, individuals learn basic spiritual principles for healing and transforming the pain of conflict and lost in order to rediscover the truth of who they are. Mindful Partnership~Mindful Divorce™ also provides personalized rituals that create an experience of release that honors your relationship in every way including its ending.
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 workshop will teach you how to use your experiences as catalysts for creating an extraordinary life.
About the Course:

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.

Vision Quest/Rite of Passage
New Mexico, 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 New Mexico. 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 includes 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 Santa Fe, New Mexico.
