Amazing and Magical Manifestations
Let me first acknowledge and wish you a beautiful Winter Solstice and Holiday season as we progress to December and move to deeper states of quiet and contemplations. I find myself already in a state of introspection and reflection.
As is typical for the New Year I set my resolutions and aspirations for the year. Instead of specific goals, I capture a word or phrase that sets my mind in a general direction. For the year 2022 I embraced the phrase Amazing, Magical Manifestations for 2022 and set a tone for myself of exception of amazing expressions of manifestations in my life for the coming year. This was the vision I had for Inspirit which was launched at the encouragement of many in our lives. Sitting on my altar is this poster that reminds me of this personal directive. To expect, anticipate and participate in the magical manifestations coming my (our) way for 2022. As I contemplate the launching of Inspirit, we have already witnessed powerful manifestations for much in the year 2022.

· Self-Discovery Retreat(s)
· Cowry Shell Readings/Divinations
· Private ceremonies and healing sessions
· Daylong conference which was a collaboration with ESI Management and several health care providers who are successfully incorporating mindfulness, spirituality and culturally relevant care into their practices.
In all these events we have witnessed the daring and powerful journeys of those who come and participate in the rituals, retreats and processes offered as well as the integrations of that work for meaningful outcomes. To witness the power of the ancestors in these processes is always a deep confirmation of this work.
Already 2023 is promising to be a powerful year as we build on what has already been established, incorporating additional healing modalities and providers of these ancient technologies. In addition to returning to Peru in August we anticipate adding a trip to Mongolia in 2023. We are also seeking ways of bringing our shamanic teachers here to Utah to share in teachings. There are several providers of various healing modalities here in Utah who appreciate what we are creating and seeking to join our momentum. Expanding this circle is part of our vision, creating a viable resource for those seeking to incorporate spiritual care in collaboration with westernize care. In addition to our established schedule of retreats, ritual and services we are developing additional retreats and journeys to Peru specific for health care providers (Doctors, Nurses, Psychotherapist, etc.) who wish to expand their own approaches to self-care and appreciation with these traditional approaches. We anticipate our first retreat in March 2023 with an aim of providing emotional and spiritual respite and self-care for those who provide healthcare services.
Last May Inspirit co-hosted a conference in Salt Lake City for healthcare providers promoting a dialogue between traditional and culturally relevant approaches to wellness. This was meant to create space for providers to build an appreciation for the paradigms outside of western care that many embrace, exploring the Body, Mind and Spirit connections. This included considering relationships with ancestors, exploration of rituals and ceremonies many turn to, the process of working with expanded consciousness and traditional healing that incorporates Body, Mind and Spirit approaches. This conference launched us in a powerful direction in this dialogue and in order to continue this dialogue and mission requires the hands and hearts of many. It would mean incorporating other healing practices, traditions and authentic medicine people who would be willing to come and share their talents and expertise with a diverse collective of those seeking insights that can be collaborative with the western model. Inspirit eventual goal in part is to reflect this expansive awareness of self-care in our healing practices.
In March 2023 we anticipate holding a retreat specific for health care providers to dive deep into their own stories of health and self-care using these immersive practices and dialogues and to leave rejuvenated, renewed and supported in embracing more holistic approaches.
My Amazing and Magical Manifestation for 2023 will be among many things a conscious approach to impacting the dialogue in health care circles for fostering deeper dialogue and appreciation of all healing paradigms including paradigms of mind, body, and spiritual growth. To genuinely collaborate with healing traditions across cultures and for all clients. Inspirit will continue to offer retreats, journeys, readings, and processes for all who are desirous to join us, while this healthcare goal is an additional step we seek to make. Afterall, if we are seeking additional magical manifestations, why think small?
On another note, I’m seriously wondering how Inspirit can serve you in our development.
My question for the reader:
· What would you like to see happen in the context of Inspirit?
· What types of retreats and gatherings would tend to your soul and concept of self care?
We look forward to hearing from you.
