The Daily Flame Listening to the Voice of Our Inner Wisdom
Date: September 29, 2019
Mile Hi Church, Lakewood, CO
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.

Santa Cruz, CA
The Fear Cure
What if you experienced uncertainty as a gateway to possibility, loss as an opportunity for soul growth, and the universe as always conspiring to support you? When you perceive the world in this way, courage arises naturally. If fear is limiting your health, growth, creativity, intimacy, spiritual connection, or ability to fulfill your calling, The Fear Cure might be just what the doctor ordered. This program offers tools for adopting a radically different worldview, one in which fear and uncertainty can provide fuel for your spiritual growth, pointing directly at what needs healing in your life so you can use your fear as alchemy for growth, opening yourself to radical joy, mystical ecstasy, and limitless possibility. Lissa Rankin uses writing, meditation, dance, music, art, shamanic rituals, and intimate sharing as tools for healing and creating your own prescription for courage.

I’ll be a humble, curious student the rest of the time but will put on my doctor/ author/teacher hat just for a few hours one night. Gabor’s work is truly moving the needle, helping patients and practitioners learn how to get to the root cause of what might predispose people to illness. Patients and practitioners will be interested in learning this compassionate inquiry method. It would be fun to see some of you there!
