Each of us is born with an inextinguishable light of divinity that Lissa Rankin, MD calls your inner pilot light.

Although this light never goes out, life’s inevitable traumas can film over this inner radiance, crowding our minds with clutter and making it difficult to hear, recognize, interpret and discern the spiritual guidance that arises from our Divine essence that animates all beings.

Deepening your connection to this inner divinity restores that which is your birthright—direct access to the healer, mentor, therapist, muse and beloved within.

By strengthening this connection and relaxing into the flow such a connection can activate, you can reorient your life with a new operating system, one based on trust and intuition, rather than fear.

In this event, Dr. Rankin will share love letters and spiritual practices from her new book, The Daily Flame: 365 Love Letters From Your Inner Pilot Light, which takes you on a journey towards deeper connection with this infinite source of healing, wisdom, courage, truth, guidance, non-dual awareness and the long-neglected feminine principle, which all genders need to restore within ourselves, our systems and our world.

Sacred Medicine

Are you in the “space between stories,” in recovery from illness, injury, or trauma, or just looking to deepen your spiritual journey? Physician, author, and spiritual healing researcher Lissa Rankin has spent the past eight years traveling the globe, working with shamans, spiritual healers, trauma therapists, sages, and gurus in a quest to unravel the mysteries of miraculous healings. In this experiential workshop based on her upcoming bookSacred Medicine, you’ll have a chance to directly experience the fruits of Dr. Rankin’s quest, as she shares with you the tools she has been gifted from the medicine bags of these master healers. Expect singing, dancing, ritual, journaling, dream weaving, art, “magic camp,” laughter, tears, and deep intimate connection, both with yourself and with others in the workshop.
