sandy-smIt all started in Costa Rica. Actually it started just after the completion of the Kanes’ Costa Rican Adventure 2010, which was the best ever, by the way. Although I was inspired and really wanted to go again in 2011, I had hesitated to sign up for Costa Rica next year, because I didn’t want to register without letting my 16-year-old daughter Ayla in on my decision first. This past year, when I had let Ayla know I was going, she had pouted for a week or more because I hadn’t consulted her before committing to go.  I had actually hesitated before telling her because I was afraid she might disapprove!

On the way to my room to get my luggage before heading home, I ran into Ariel and Shya on one of the beautiful covered walkways and we started chatting.  When I outlined my dilemma, they pointed out that what I was actually doing was to ask my daughter for her permission to go to Costa Rica again and that it is I who is the mother who needs to say what’s going on – not vice versa. They said that I was trying to be Ayla’s friend instead of her mother.  It was not long before I discovered how true this really had been.

Hello from Sandy

SandyIMG_0669_2Every time I see that an email comes in from one of you I stop whatever I am doing and read, read, read! It is so amazing how just doing that changes my day in some way.  It’s been so long since I have been with all of you and I miss you so so much!

Since the last course and upon signing up for the next one (Step into Your Brilliance) for which I paid in full (and guess what, it was true what you said…the course started to happen then) things have shifted. I got home to California and my life as I knew it before was different. I was able to complete any task in the time needed. I was happier. I was lighter somehow, and the people around me became interesting and interested. My husband, Tony, turned to me at dinner one night and said, “I don’t know what your doing but don’t stop…I can’t get enough of you and love being around you, you look beautiful.”  So, of course I tried as best I could to explain to him what Ariel and Shya do… It was murky I am sure, but he smiled…this big smile and grabbed my hands tight.

Hello from Zurich, Switzerland!

Dear Ariel, Dear Shya!

It was on a Friday, December 11th 2009 when I missed my train to go home.  Right at the train station there is a bookstore called “Rest seller” and as I had nothing better to do while waiting for my next train to leave I took a stroll through the store and looked through the books in the display.  A small, white book with a few butterflies on the cover caught my attention.  I love everything that has wings…such as fairies, angels etc. and there was something playful and light about this book. But being a person that had lost the interest in getting more spiritual books, I didn’t really wanna buy another book.  Besides that, I didn’t expect this book to tell me something new.  At the same time I liked the idea of getting really cozy on my sofa on a cold winter evening and reading short stories, after all it was not an expensive book, so what did I have to lose?  It was just a book with sweet butterflies.  I decided to get it – having NO idea that this book would be the starting point of true transformation and many blessings to come into my life!

Thanks and Greetings

Dear Ariel and dear Shya,

I want to thank you for the amazing and liberating experiences I had in Costa Rica.  That “Pura-Vida-feeling” has been established deep in me and is now always a part of my life, my everyday-being.

Since I’ve been back, I’ve had some unexpected requirements from life, but I can handle – and even enjoy – them all quite cooly ;-)

Both of you, and all the amiable people who were in your course in Costa Rica, showed me that it’s really always enough, just to BE as I am, to listen and simply to do what is needed in the moment…

I’m looking forward to seeing you in April in Hamburg. Wishes to you for discovering and relishing the new wonders of this boundless life!

Sunny greetings from the still gorgeous snow-covered Munich,
Carola

Costa Rica & Life’s Magic

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

ValHi Everyone,

You know how transformation happens in retrospect? Well, since being back from Costa Rica for 2 weeks now, I can really see it!

Being in Costa Rica was such a gift.  Ariel & Shya created this course for us with such care, in a way that each of us – and all of us as a group – experienced magic. Being in that incredibly gorgeous and alive environment with everyone was like waking up on Christmas morning every day. From ‘big’ things to little ones…though I really can tell the difference between them now!  Like walking down the path to the dining area one afternoon. I really saw, and more than that, felt the beauty and glory of the world around me and of myself – I felt like Snow White, as if I was communicating with all the creatures around me by just being with and enjoying them :) We had some nights of singing after dinner and hearing people sing even a 1 minute song brought tears to my
eyes; or being on a horse who responded to even my thoughts (before I had to do anything to communicate my instruction), and being in that paradise-like place with some of the most incredible people from all over the world that I have ever met; it felt as if we were doing amazing & important work for all of humanity (though there was really no work involved).

Costa Rica – Transformation – Adventure

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

KatjaHi Friends all over the world,

How are you? 14 days ago I  came back from Costa Rica.

WOW! There’s still this wonderful impact I feel in myself. What do I mean? Well, being in Costa Rica was a unique experience.  Pure self-discovery and adventure.  It was such a gift to discover myself, to discover the beauty of the moment, the wonderful nature, to meet the other participants and to be with them.

Ariel and Shya created a wonderful environment to discover Transformation. They are so wise and I am so thankful for this amazing adventure and happy to be part of this community.

Costa Rica – A New Life!

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Colleen MessinaHello, dear friends around the world!

Costa Rica was amazing! It was such a treat that I was there for two weeks!  My husband Jay, our friend Susan & I watched some of the video we shot in Costa Rica.  And I was amazed to see myself. I looked calm and comfortable in my skin.

Costa Rica gave me the opportunity to be me. To be me in a place with 50 plus glorious friends in a land of pure beauty. It was magical as we all transformed and relaxed into the moment. The two weeks in Costa Rica gave me the opportunity to relax into myself, as I kept dropping the thoughts that requested I work on myself. The old mechanics didn’t have staying power as I didn’t entertain & indulge in urges of self pity. It was amazing!! And this skill set got easier & easier as each day flew by.

Hello Friends!

Lately, my days are full of events. It feels like a day has more parts than it once had. Every time I see a clock, I’m amazed how early it is, and how many things I can do with my time.

Also, everything looks beautiful, and full of DETAIL and light and color! The tropical-ness of Costa Rica seems to have followed me to New York, and everything is looking exotic, and full of life.

Things have been easy, and I’m finding I am willing to do the things that need to be done, without even wondering if I want to do them.

I feel so loose and creative, and the things that are happening around me are ORIGINAL.
