A Note from Jan — by Jan Adrian, MSW

Dear Friends,

We're gearing up for the last two Healing Journeys events of 2013. Where has the year gone? We have one more empowering Cancer-Fighting Kitchen workshop, with the fantastic and knowledgeable instructors Lise Alschuler, ND, and Laura Pole, RN, MSN. Here's a short interview with Lise. We are finishing the year with the retreats with Jonathan Ellerby, Ph.D. on the Riviera Maya of Mexico. Please note that he has extended the deadline to register to September 24th.

The retreat in Mexico was life-changing for me last year. Enjoying the moment moved up on my priority list, with some wild abandonment thrown in. I feel like I'm still adjusting to that change, and I occasionally struggle with letting go of my past workaholic behavior. I'm eager to experience what this year's retreats will bring me, and am trying to stay open to unknown possibilities.

Jonathan has been a great teacher and example for me. Moving to Mexico was a huge decision and major change in his life. In this issue of Turning Points you can read a review of the book he wrote about that process and listen to an interview with him about it. His lessons can be applied to many situations in our lives.

In the Spirit of Healing,

Book Review

The Promise of Paradise: Life-Changing Lessons from the Tropics
by Jonathan Ellerby, Ph.D.

Reviewed by Deborah Wilder
 

The Promise of Paradise

Is your inbox full of invitations to be a six-figure success, effortlessly manifest your dreams, and live a bigger life? Do you wish you could just escape to a warm tropical beach? Jonathan Ellerby's The Promise of Paradise is the story of how he actually did just that! As Jonathan recounts his free-fall out of the American dream to discover true fulfillment, he shares keys to creating your own paradise right here. The Promise of Paradise is an extraordinary guidebook that will give you the tools, the attitude, and the springboard to make the greatest move of your life.

The sudden success of his best selling book, Inspiration Deficit Disorder, unexpectedly created the very stress his book was written to alleviate! This is the story of how he let it all go to co-create a wellness community on the Riviera Maya of Mexico, Tao Inspired Living. (This is the location where the Healing Journeys Tropical Retreats will be held later this year, from 10/29 to 11/03, and 11/05 to 11/10.)

Jonathan invites us to rest in the transforming power of slowing down, living in community, and allowing beauty to nurture our souls. His message is perfect relief when the "not enough" siren is screaming in your ears. By the third chapter, I felt completely at home in myself, loving my life and feeling gratitude again. On his journey to make this paradise-like setting his home, Jonathan also faces the turbulent waters of relocation, tourism, societal fear, stereotypes, and cultural evolution in a time of global, financial, and spiritual upheaval. His clear vision of the pursuit of health occurs through the celebration of connection, personal passion, inner peace, and the imperative to make the world a better place.

The resulting wisdom is inspiring, a joy to read, and a truly life-changing path to put into practice. If you resonate with his call to "Play more, cultivate peace, give back, feel connected, stay fit . . . ," this book can help you create a deeply satisfying life right where you are.
