Ali Grace, MA, MNLP, CHt - Life Coach & Founder - Guilt Free Goddess Retreats After many years in the corporate world, Ali Grace decided to pursue her life long dream of truly helping others pursue their heartfelt dreams and ambitions. With a Bachelors Degree in Business Marketing and a graduate of the Hoffman Institute, she needed more to prepare for her new journey, so she went back to school and received her Masters in Spiritual Psychology. During this 2 year program, she was opened to her unfolding life purpose of supporting the many women, who, like her, were experiencing "burn-out" and questioning their daily life by going through the motions even if outward success was present in their current life - being pulled in every possible direction and not knowing how to turn their ship around.

Gina was born in New Orleans, and like the gumbo this famous city is known for, she is quite a mixture. Her heritage is Creole, made up of the African, Native American and various European ethnicities. “The question I was asked most while growing up – and even still today – is: what are you? I feel like a citizen of the world, in that almost everyone I meet sees a part of him or herself reflected in my face because of my ancestral tapestry.” Due to the tense racial politics in the South, Gina’s parents relocated to Los Angeles when she was 6 years old. At age 16, Gina fell deeply in love with dance when she began to study jazz technique, and performed locally for several years as a member of a dance company in Los Angeles. Gina also discovered a passion for theatre and writing while attending UCLA . She has also studied yoga, voice, theatre, African and Brazilian dance, all of which brought her into deeper relationship with her body, setting her on a path of self-empowerment and self-discovery.

Maisha Hazzard is the youngest child of a scientist turned metaphysician in the disguise of a United Methodist minister. Science and Spirituality were integrated aspects of life first discussed in ordinary conversations about all matter as energy or light and all light as the very essence of God. E=MC2 was understood to mean that “that which is visible was made from that which is invisible”. Our true Nature as Light made visible in flesh was a common household understanding. While still in high school, Maisha was introduced to the mystical writings of Meister Eckhart, Martin Luther, Kierkegaard, Martin Buber, and others as she was simultaneously spending Saturdays in advanced classes like organic chemistry. When she was still a teenager, she was taken on a mystical journey during which she was shown that the Universe is the “body of God”, and everything is like a cell in the body of God. Each “cell” has within it the full Intelligence of the Cosmic One that can unfold to replicate the full Nature of the Divin

About Byron Katie. www.thework.com Byron Katie, founder of The Work, has one job: to teach people how to end their own suffering. As she guides people through the powerful process of inquiry called The Work, they find that their stressful beliefs—about life, other people, or themselves— radically shift and their lives are changed forever. Based on Byron Katie's direct experience of how suffering is created and ended, The Work is an astonishingly simple process, accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, and requires nothing more than a pen and paper and an open mind. Through this process, anyone can learn to trace unhappiness to its source and eliminate it there. Katie (as everyone calls her) not only shows us that all the problems in the world originate in our thinking: she gives us the tool to open our minds and set ourselves free.

Do you experience blocks in your creative process? Do you procrastinate your artistic work, only to feel stressed, frustrated, or depressed by your lack of productivity? Anne Paris, PhD is a clinical psychologist who has practiced psychotherapy with artists for over 20 years. The intimacy of these psychotherapy relationships has helped her understand the inner world of artists, writers, actors, dancers, designers, and musicians as they create works of art. Through thousands of hours of psychotherapy, she has identified artists' fundamental psychological needs during the creative process. Until now, this dimension of psychological experience during creativity has gone unnoticed or has been misunderstood. She has concluded that the artist is helped along in the creative process by certain kinds of emotional support that provides the strength and hope needed to enter into and sustain creativity. An expert in contemporary depth-psychological approaches to understanding human behavior, Dr. Paris has helped famo
