Director's Message for May 2011

Greetings Sacred Path Community,


We have a rare opportunity to spend time with one of the most influential spiritual teachers in modern history. On June 3rd and 4th Leonard Orr will be in Los Angeles and will be with our Sacred Path community offering an evening presentation and a day-long experiential retreat. Leonard and I have been devoted friends since the mid 70’s, but have not worked together in several years. His travels take him around the world extensively as he shares his insights and offers trainings on spiritual purification and conscious connected breath-work. My work has been mostly in LA, yet the building of our spiritual community is very consistent with Leonard’s vision for the expansion of conscious communities comprised of individuals committed to self-development and worldwide transformation. Leonard and I did have an opportunity to see each other at this time last year. That is when I invited him to come back to LA this year to work with us and he accepted the invitation.


I encourage you to not miss this opportunity. Leonard likes to suggest that learning and mastering the simple and pleasurable principles of spiritual purification can “be hazardous to your misery.” I can attest that my meeting and working with Leonard during the 70’s and 80’s made a tremendous difference in the quality of my life, both personally and professionally. I credit Leonard as being one of my most significant teachers and mentors. He will awaken you to a higher realm of awareness regarding your self, your relationships and your purpose for living on Earth at this most turbulent time. We are in the period that has been called the “Quickening,” also referred to as “The Great Awakening,” and each and every one of us is called to move beyond self-limiting thoughts, to expand our awareness and join the ranks of those who are enlisting to make a positive difference where it counts, and I believe we all know that it counts now more than ever.


I have included an article that I wrote that offers some insights about spiritual purification through the process of Rebirthing. Also included in this issue are a couple of articles by Leonard and some information regarding his June training in Sierraville, California. The early discount is extended to anyone wishing to attend the training who registers for Leonard’s events with us in LA. His events are open to both men and women. There is no limit to enrollments for Friday evening, but we will be limiting the number of participants for the Saturday event, so I encourage you to sign up now to reserve your spot. On Saturday, we will experience the conscious connected breathing process with a trained Rebirther facilitating each dyadic team. If by chance on Friday night there were any openings for the Saturday event, you would still be able to register, but better to be safe than sorry.


On another note, we had a great spring Sacred Path Men’s Retreat and are already planning for an invigorating fall Retreat. I believe that what we are working on presently will come together and that we’ll be providing some very exciting news regarding the fall retreat in our next issue.

Be sure to mark your calendars now to hold the dates: 24th Annual Fall Sacred Path Men’s Retreat, October 20 – 23, 2011.


Would you like to be involved in a weekly men's therapeutic support group? I have two openings in my Tuesday night group that meets in my Beverly Hills office from 7-9pm. The core group of members are great guys, so you'd be in good company. Send me a message at DrJ@DrStephenJohnson.com if you're interested and we'll discuss.


In the spirit of community,

Stephen
