RE-VITALIZE YOUR VISION OR RE-IMAGINE WHAT LIFE CAN BE

Dear Visionista ~

.
A new year is upon us!

.
For thirteen years it has been our spiritual tradition to start the year in community with soulful music, meditation, visioning, intention, and speaking life into our visions.

.
And this year will be no different. Once again, we're gathering to nourish ourselves and nurture our visions. To embrace our greater yet-to-be.

.
At times like this we lean into our spiritual practices, not as a bypass but as a pathway for divine insight, clarity, possibility, direction and

.
We're taking time in the midst of all that is to 'consciously court the Divine!' To pause... be still... and listen...

.
A sacred place has been prepared to:
.

  • RE-new your spirit
  • RE-member who you and we are
  • RE-fresh your intentions
  • RE-lease beliefs that no longer serve
  • RE-imagine what life can be
  • RE-align your steps with a RE-vitalized vision

.
It is essential that our vision, the divine vision that dwells within, be more alive in us than anything in our personal or collective experience that is unlike that vision.

.
In the words of Mary Oliver to, "Keep some room in our hearts for the unimaginable!" That's what our New Year's Visioning Retreat is all about.

.
Counting the days until we're together. See you soon :-)
.

Joyous Blessings,


Rai Jordan, RScP Emerita
Founder & Spiritual Director

"I'm so grateful for these visioning retreats and circles you offer. I get insights from visioning with you that I don't get from visioning by myself or from any other spiritual practice. Thanks to you and these sessions, I'm learning how to quiet my mind and tune in to the inner wisdom of my own soul. And I'm counting the days to this next one!"

"The session I had with Rai changed my life. Negative things and people quickly moved out of my life afterward. It was a major turning point for me and I haven't looked back since."

Whether you call it God, Ori, Spirit, Higher Self, intuition, your muse or some other name — higher levels of wisdom and guidance are always available to us. Whatever you call it, what matters most is that we "call" on it, that we ask "it" to reveal what it knows.

.

Dr. Michael Beckwith, the originator of the visioning process I use and teach, says, "visioning is a process in which we cultivate the ability to hear, see or sense a divine idea for our life.” My friend and mentor, Dr. Liza Rankow, calls it a "powerful and transformative tool for tapping into deeper levels of clarity, insight, and direction."

.

I've come to view visioning as a pathway for self-discovery, healing, transformation and liberation. This inspires my personal visioning practice as well as my passion for providing sacred space for individuals and groups to use and practice it too.

"Dear Rai - Thank you for holding the Vision! Thank you for being the Vision! Thank you for facilitating so many visionings! Thank you for teaching me and so many other leaders how to vision for our lives, ministries, and others. Your gifts have been absolutely priceless to our faith, philosophy, way of life!!!"

What I love most about visioning is how it awakens possibilities that hadn’t been considered and reawakens visions, dreams, ideas and revelations previously dismissed, deferred or denied.

.

And I absolutely love how visioning attunes us to the divine inner knowing of our own soul, activates our inner becoming and opens the way for inspired action and divine flow.

.

Doors opening. Opportunities appearing. Resources showing up at the right time in previously unforeseen ways. Next steps being revealed. Taking that step, confident or scared. Divinely guided every step of the way.

.

Visioning has been a guiding light in my life for 26 years. No other process or technique has been so powerful, so deeply transformative for me. It can be the same for you.

Could you benefit from sacred time away from the fullness of life to commune with the divine wisdom of your own Soul? Emerge with:

.

INSIGHT: Awaken divine insight by tuning in to your internal GPS.

.

CLARITY: Clarify your highest vision and what your soul is most yearning to experience and express.

.

POSSIBILITY: Re-vitalize your vision and re-imagine what can be, including visions previously dismissed, deferred or denied.

.

ALCHEMY: Engage the inner state of being that opens the way for your highest vision and deepest intent to emerge.

.

DIRECTION: Align your next steps, habits and practices with emerging possibilities and clarified direction.

.

"Rai’s New Year’s Visioning Retreat always jump starts my year. In 2014, frustrated that my talents were only partly being used, I surrendered deeply and got the message to move. Within 5 months I was in my new home and the blessings still keep pouring in; joyful music, spiritual service, and work projects I love using all of my abilities. Rai creates a space in which the new is not so much scary as it is exciting."
