 Dana Duryea will be presenting Accessing the Divine. Accessing the Divine is not just for some special or lucky ones, as many of us believe. It is available to all once you have the knowledge and the tools to apply it in yourself. We wish to show you the mechanics of how Spirit works directly in your energy field and how to consciously set your field so that you will be able to access the Divine directly. The tools of connecting directly with God and your guides are easy and exciting. During this presentation everyone will have the chance to experience making this connection. Intention is the key to making this happen, so setting your intention to have or deepen this connection after the retreat will be explored as well. Dana Duryea re-discovered Spirit 25 years ago when his scientific experiment in graduate school began responding to his thoughts. Soon after, Dana encountered Holy Spirit when it guided him to lay his hands on his grandmother who was in a terminal coma in a hospital, and in a matter of minutes she awoke out of that coma. This was the start of a spirit directed path, where Dana gained understanding of his abilities by studying with many teachers and following the daily guidance of Holy Spirit and his spiritual guides. His path of service led him to co-found the Foundation for Spiritual Development over ten years ago in CA, where he now teaches understanding one’s self as Spirit and leads a weekly John of God healing circle. Dana uses the graces of clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience as an intuitive, energy healer and exorcist. He also uses these graces as a Landscape Manager and Energetic Business Consultant. Dana lives most happily with his wife, Jenai Lane, in their house in San Rafael, CA. |

 Rev. Wendy Chojnowski has been on a mystical journey for the last 17 years. Her own encounter with the Holy Spirit occurred outside of any spiritual community. This led to a time of confusion and fear which only began to dissipate with guidance in the form of teachers both in physical form and in spirit. This proved to be the greatest gift of all as it led to a deeper and more intimate experience with the Divine than she would have ever dared to dream of. Deep in her heart rests a longing to share and bring this depth of experience to others; even for a millisecond. She truly believes that this is all that is required; to be impregnated with hunger so deep and a thirst so unquenchable that it can only be satisfied by another such encounter. There can be no substitute. It is the greatest gift of all. It is available to all. Wendy will be presenting at the Friday pre-event on the topic "

Kerry Chinn will be teaching The Experiential Healing Method, with an emphasis on ancestral healing. During this presentation and healing demonstration, Rev. Kerry will explain the core tenants of what he has learned in his 15 years of work as an Intuitive Healer. These core principles are intuitive awareness, or the ability to feel, sense and know the true causes of disease or ailments. Personal experience, the willingness to feel completely the pain or hurt we or others in our family linage have suppressed, often times for years or even generations. And healing prayer, invoking the grace of God that heals and restores. It is a combination of these three principles of healing that Rev. Kerry has coined “The Experiential Healing Method” and has made his life’s work.
