Wow! It Got Better! Recap + AUDIO 1 : )

Day One

SEE kicked in this year with a few different adventures. I was privileged to let Terry Lynch take me on hers, and learned about the Inner Awareness Method. An hour cannot do justice to her talent in connecting to the body’s inner wisdom. I want to know more!     EFT-Master Nancy Gnecco led a group in a cutting karmic ties circle, despite having her granddaughter’s pinkeye to contend with – she is a trooper!  

Alicia North took friends to a discovery walk outside as Spring was bursting upon us, looking at wonder weeds that have medicinal properties.

Then Annabel Fisher, Annie Siegel Alexander, and Ange Finn shared their personal struggles and victories in living with and healing from cancer.

It’s hard to describe how gut-wrenching yet inspiring this talk was. Thank you all for having the courage to
open this potentially scary conversation for all of us. And thank you Gene Monterastelli masterfully facilitating and expanding upon the hidden gems of learning with your legendary interviewer skills.

Later, Robin Bilazarian presented to us. I can’t show enough appreciation to her for the mission of bringing EFT into every home –  and in particular – into the conventional environments, such as hospitals, police departments, human resources and corporations. I can’t think of anyone being better-suited for the task. Thank you for sharing your tools and telling us about Emotional Smarts, your terrific book!

Day Two – Morning

Jondi kicked off the day with a moving speech (courtesy of Lisa Porter and several angels, apparently!)  She wove threads of awakening to the world, to self-care, to communit into a broad, integrated tapestry of love. It is good to come back Home, to ourselves and each other, with the collective intention of creating an even better future. Thank you, Jondi, for once more putting together my favorite family reunion. I have measured my growth in SEE years for 5 years now, and that’s thanks to you and the giants on whose shoulders we stand.

We welcomed Helena Berggren to our community this year, as she bared it all with her personal story, from ‘perfectly unhappy’ to the sunny soul coach she is today.  That adventure took a great deal of persistent focus on self-love and growth – lucky for us all, a book emerged, just as she did, into the  healing power of Light and courage.

Jill Greenbaum documented and illustrated that journey, as it was unfolding, in a wall-sized colorful mural of improvised, artistic response. We should all be so lucky to have an instant, creative reaction to our!

Henry Grayson was outstanding, as always, distilling a great deal of wisdom on the present gap between science and spirituality, as well as the illusion of separation, then taught us a new way of relating to our physical symptoms. I’ll gve you a hint: questions, muscle-testing, and tapping (EFT-A, his own adaptation of EFT + TFT).

Day Two – afternoon

It was wonderful to meet Deborah Sampson, a Brit who came all the way from France to join us.  Her approach to using  essential oils with her wide variety of clients was well presented. The audience got to sniff delightful samples of basil, carrot seed, frankincense, and Roman chamomile oils, learning less is frequently more when it comes to using essential oils for healing. Her new book is on Amazon and speaks to the collection of 12 must-have essential oils to address most aches, ailments and conditions.
The impressive Sue Busen followed with a presentation of her GetSet tapping, bringing in forgiveness and positive tapping into the classic EFT formula. We used it on guilt about taking – or not taking! – time for self-care. Then she simply improvised a powerful heart connection exercise out of the blue!  (Her staggering productivity likely means she must be using her tools on herself quite a bit!)

After the break, CJ Puotinen showed us a systematic approach to working with pain, both physical and emotional, showcasing excellent use of classic EFT, with excellent questions to use to get very specific about pain. She even systematized her questions into a deck of cards to use with clients​. Two courageous demo volunteers were lucky to see their pain disappear under our very eyes.  

Later, Paula Tutein led an excellent discussion on working with veterans.

Day Two – evening

Jill Greenbaum did it, again! Not only did she illustrate two graphic presentations on the fly today, but she also presented her own material on story-catching in the evening. We learned how to make each other’s stories more meaningful, harvest insights and gifts in our words, and use this skill as a means to enhance connection. 

 

 

Meanwhile, Ted Robinson was taking us on a wild ride to the superconscious, through his latest hypnoscan process. Some of us got to behold the curvature of the Earth, and meet with guides who had important information to deliver.

Finally, Darryl Tonemah and his family drove 7 hours (!) to offer us his music and humor, taking us on an authentic,  vulnerable and bittersweet journey through his life. We ended up surrounding him in a circle, to join him in singing choruses to his guitar and Native American flute, recounting the tale of how the flute came to be, and how it brought him his lovely wife.  It was a wonderful end to a lovely day.

Day Three – morning

Annabel Fisher flew all the way from Vancouver to share with us what she learned, all the deeply personal muscling through, struggling forward, going at it alone, comparing herself to others, and doing what she thought she should be doing, only to find it unsustainable.  Her body stopped her, and she had to learn the subtle art of surrender, ease, and self-care to flow to healing with less push and more ease. A powerful life!
Rick Wilkes joined us on Skype, demonstrating how he uses   movement, fluidity, and Tapping to embody and bring about emotional goals and desires. He invited us to join him, visualizing an environmental journey that ultimately led back to ourselves.

Dapper Gene Monterastelli dazzled with his systematic approach to overcoming un-useful beliefs. He shared with us the best questions he’s found for facilitating breakthroughs for both himself and his clients, and how the process allowed him  to turn their issues into allies.

Hope you’ve enjoyed my ‘weekend update’
