Reassurance Just When I Needed It

One of the greatest blessings is when we receive clarity on a major decision we are trying to make. Spirit can use anything in our life to help deliver this clarity to us. It can also give us the courage to follow our heart and act on the guidance we receive.

It was a difficult decision to move on after twenty-two years in a relationship. For quite some time I had been on the fence about my decision and the indecision was wearing me out, along with the relationship itself. I did not have the energy and courage to follow through. The inner and outer guidance I was getting indicated it was time, or past time, to make the decision and move on. That got my attention, but distractions seemed to keep popping up to delay my taking action.

I decided it would be important for me to attend the May weekend spiritual retreat at the Nature Awareness School. Prophet provided very helpful clarity and input that weekend, thank you! Nearing the Virginia border on my drive back to Asheville, North Carolina, I thought I heard an alarm clock going off. I closed the car windows and the sound stopped. Well, a few minutes later this whole scenario repeated itself. Again, I closed the windows and the sound stopped. I tried to reach around in the car for where my alarm clock might be, but I could not find it. Normally my travel alarm clock would eventually stop beeping and stop for good. I knew it wasn’t the alarm clock because the sequence continued most all the way back to Asheville, and it seemed like a sign.

When I crossed over into Tennessee there was a huge sign saying, “Change is coming. Experience history in August.” I had strong inner guidance it would be important to begin getting my things in order. When I got home I had some serious talks with my significant other, although I did not yet have the courage to tell him I wanted to leave. I prayed for assistance from Prophet to find my inner strength and courage.

In June I was again at the school and developing inner strength and courage was one of the areas we focused on during the eight-day retreat. Around that time a movie had come out called “We Bought a Zoo,” and one of the pearls shared at the retreat was how the main character only needed twenty seconds of courage to take an important action, which he did, and it changed his life. During the last evening of the retreat our area of Virginia experienced a unique storm, a derecho. We stood outside watching the sky as it sounded like a freight train roaring up the side of the mountain, although the trees did not seem to be moving. The sky was spectacular and looked like a July 4th celebration. During this amazing storm I felt strength in the presence of the Prophet and found a depth of inner strength and courage I had not known before. I was finally at peace. I knew what I needed to do as Soul. It felt like the Divine had done most of the heavy lifting to give me the strength and courage to follow my heart, now I had to do my part!

When I returned home to North Carolina I continued to receive a lot of support and guidance on the outer and inner. A friend suggested I write a letter to my significant other to say what I would want to say, without giving it to him. This would help me focus on what I would want to say in person. I found the suggestion very helpful. In my heart I knew this suggestion, that came through my friend, was from the inner Prophet. As Soul I was getting a deep inner call to make this change, and if I did not heed it I felt I would start dying inside. It was important to me to make this change with love, rather than getting into blame and anger.

The following week while I was at work, I saw a U-Haul truck go by with a huge picture of an Indian woman on the side of it. I ran outside and saw the name of Sacajawea written on the side. This was an awake dream to me because I have a close affinity with that name. During the next few days I researched prices for a U-Haul truck rental to move to Virginia. By the end of the week I had the inner knowingness that it was time. Holding the hand of the inner Prophet I took a deep breath and received the first twenty seconds of courage, and then the next, and the next. I had a long talk and interaction with my significant other. I was able to share with him what I really wanted to convey from a place of love. He and I talked and talked, and cried together. That night was really tough, and I slept restlessly.

As I headed to work the next morning I had doubts as to whether I was making the right decision. I started singing HU, a love song to God, and asked for assistance from Prophet. Rounding the corner into the parking lot at work, lo and behold there was a U-Haul truck sitting smack dab in front of my office. And in big letters on the side it said “VIRGINIA.” It was the perfect reassurance I needed at that moment! God’s timing is always perfect, impeccable. Thank you dear God and Prophet for your reassurance, comfort, love, and guidance. I appreciate and love you.

God’s Love Communicated Through Nature

God can use anything and everything to communicate with you. Those who have been taught to recognize these Divine whisperings are most fortunate indeed. They will see, feel, and truly know God’s most important message, “I Love you… you are not alone,” everywhere they go.

It was my first spirit week at the Nature Awareness School. We had been learning the fundamentals about Spirit and how it communicates to us from Del Hall, whom I now know as God’s Prophet; my beloved spiritual teacher. Prophet was lovingly pointing the way, toward ways, of perceiving the presence of Divine love in our everyday lives. Some of the students attending the spirit week retreat had grown up with the truth about the Holy Spirit that the Prophet was speaking of. The rest of the group, me included, were not familiar with the reality about a truly loving God that communicated to and through all of its creation. I will never forget how utterly floored I was that I had finally found what my heart had been aching for; a way to recognize the love of my creator. Amazingly it was being expressed literally everywhere at every moment, but I had yet the eyes to see.

That week I learned not to remain locked in the rigid spiritual concepts that were blocking my view of the truth. I learned that a spiritual experience may be seen, heard, and or felt; it is all real. We talked about our night dreams and awake dreams; about how the Divine uses them to communicate with us, as well as how the Holy Spirit can use nature in all forms to speak truth to us when we are at peace and paying attention. About the middle of the week we were invited to go out into nature to spend time alone with Spirit. It was an opportunity to get out and explore in a quietly profound way.

I had previously attended a tracking class during which time we were guided by Del through the forest along several paths leading to various points of interest. I was pleased to revisit a clearing that I remembered passing. Even more, it was such an adventure for me to be focused enough to follow the inner guidance I was receiving in order to reach my destination. As it was, my state of consciousness had been very scattered at that time in my life and I was very good at getting lost. So, I gave thanks to the Holy Spirit for guiding me on my journey to that clearing in the woods and sat down on a tree stump.

I sang HU that is a love song to God. When I stopped singing, I began to contemplate on what a surreal experience life had become. My ways of thinking and being were challenged and revealed as untrue, then discarded in order to make space for love as it was meant to be. I was glad to be there at that moment; felt very fortunate to be attending such an amazing retreat, so very happy to be alive! I opened my eyes and saw a blue bird of some kind in a tree. I looked around to realize that the trees surrounding the clearing were full of blue birds. Since I had recently learned about the spiritual significance of the color blue, all at once it occurred to me that what I was experiencing was communication of Divine love, to me in a way that would speak to my heart. I was struck with surprise as well as humbled by the beauty and simplicity of the message received as tears of thankfulness filled my eyes for that sacred communication.

It was and is a beautiful experience that I revisit as a reminder of how Divine Spirit is always speaking to its creation, and I am part of that creation. I thank God that he has sent His Prophet to lead us to the truth!

God expresses His Love to YOU every day in many different and often subtle ways. Most often His Love goes unrecognized because the ways God communicates are not well known. Learning to recognize and accept God’s Love and guidance brings abundance into all areas of one’s life; this is at the core of all Nature Awareness School retreats. Participating in our retreats will expand your understanding of what is truly possible in your own relationship with the Divine, and confirm there IS a Divine. If you hunger for the ways of God and an abundant life of love and clarity consider our “Keys to Spiritual Freedom Study Program.”

The following are retreat descriptions and an overview of the program.

KEYS TO SPIRITUAL FREEDOM STUDY PROGRAM

Step One: Tools for Divine Guidance (2 day retreat)
Step Two: Understanding Divine Guidance (2 day retreat)
Step Three: Building Divine Relationships (October 3 day retreat)
Step Four: Prophet Shares Spiritual Keys (May 3 day retreat)
Step Five: Spiritual Growth and Conditioning (September 3 day retreat)

 

Step One: Tools for Divine Guidance (2 day retreat)
2016 Dates: May 13-15 July 15-17 (apply here)
No Prerequisite

There is a well of spiritual light, love, and guidance to draw from as you go about your life. You are never alone – the Voice of God is always with you trying to help guide you through the challenges of life and manifest more joy and happiness. The problem for most folks is life is busy and full of distractions making it hard to “hear” those gentle whisperings or “see” the Hand of God. The first step in learning to confidently follow Divine guidance is being able to recognize it in the first place. Divine guidance comes in countless ways, from the dramatic to the very subtle; we call this the “Language of the Divine.” This retreat will give you some tools which will help you tune in and listen for it. Very much like “teaching a man to fish” versus “handing him a fish,” the teachings at our school are focused on giving students the tools to pursue and ultimately receive their own answers. This retreat will be guided by the Divine.
Instructor: Del Hall IV
​
Step Two: Understanding Divine Guidance (2 day retreat)​
2016 Date: August 26-28 (apply here)
Prerequisite – Step One

This retreat continues to help students become more familiar with the many ways God communicates to His children daily. Students will gain confidence in their ability to “hear” accurately, as it is quite common early on to not know if insights are coming from the mind or the heart (God). This retreat will help you better understand what Spirit is trying to tell you and give you the confidence to follow it. With this skill, something you as Soul innately have, there is no challenge in life that you cannot get through. It will also help you recognize, on a very personal level, how much God loves you. Once you begin to develop fluid communication with the Divine, you will not only be more equipped to receive daily guidance, you will also be more open to God’s truth in general. This can lead to profound spiritual growth and help you understand the mysteries of God and self. This retreat will be guided by the Divine.
Instructor: Del Hall IV and Prophet Del Hall III

Step Three: Building Divine Relationships (Oct. 3 day retreat)
2016 Date: October 14-17 (apply here)
Prerequisite – Step Two

The most important and profound spiritual truth is that you are never alone. As a spiritual being, created out of the Light and Love of God, you are connected to God spiritually via the Light and Sound of God, or the “Voice of God.” The Prophet, who is a conduit for God’s Light and Love on Earth, is here to help you make and nurture this connection. God always has a Prophet on Earth to help teach and lead His children home. This might be hard for some to understand or accept, but nonetheless it is true. (Read about God’s historical line of Prophets HERE) This retreat is an opportunity to pursue this truth for yourself. Ultimately God wants a personal relationship with each and every one of us. The current Prophet, Del Hall III, is here to help you make this relationship a reality. This retreat will be guided by the Divine.
Instructor: Prophet Del Hall III

Step Four: Prophet Shares Spiritual Keys (May 3 day retreat)
2016 Date: May 27-30 (apply here)
Prerequisite – Step Three

This retreat is another opportunity to grow spiritually and learn to live life with more balance and harmony. The Prophet will share spiritual keys that will help you more fully manifest your divinity and find more joy in life. These keys will begin to unlock the door to the Kingdom of Heaven. During this retreat God’s truths will continue to be revealed and personally experienced, which helps build an even stronger relationship with the Divine. This retreat will be guided by the Divine.
Instructor: Prophet Del Hall III

Step Five: Spiritual Growth and Conditioning (Sept. 3 day retreat)
2016 Date: September 2-5 (apply here)
Prerequisite – Step Four

This retreat is the final step in our “Keys to Spiritual Freedom Study Program.” At this point students have covered a wide variety of topics and had numerous personal spiritual experiences and revelations. That said, there is always more to learn and experience about God and God’s Heavens, God’s Prophet, and yourself as Soul – an eternal Divine being. This retreat will also help students open up further to God’s truth and Love by gently revealing and removing blocks to continued spiritual growth. This retreat will be guided by the Divine.
Instructor: Prophet Del Hall III

 

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

– We recommend that you read some of our books prior to your first retreat. They will give you a foundation to gain the most from your attendance.
– Students register for one step/retreat at a time; you do not have to commit to the entire program to attend your first retreat.
– Each step is the pre-requisite for the next.
– Steps can be repeated multiple times. These retreats are guided by the Divine and thus no two retreats of the same title are ever exactly the same, even though similar topics are covered.
– It is recommended students complete the five steps within three to four years, although they can be completed in as quickly as two years.
– Whether you take a single class or two, or end up pursuing the full five levels of the program, you will gain valuable insights, tools, and practices that will help you live a more abundant life.
– After a student completes step five their progress will be reviewed. If they are accepted for personal spiritual mentorship, and it is in their heart to continue, students may attend advanced level spiritual retreats. Although spiritually unlimited the Prophet only has so much time physically to personally mentor and train students in the higher ways of God, so not everyone can be accepted.
– Students may also attend one day events outside of the “Study Program” at any time. These one day retreats are a great way to stay tuned in, focused, and not lose spiritual momentum.

See you on the Mountain!

My Grandfather and the HU

The love we have for other Souls carries on beyond the end of this physical life. What a joy to know we will see them again and the love between us will still be there. In the following story a loved one, who had passed on years before, returns to comfort his grandson just when he needed it.

compass-wallpaper-1152x864

My grandfather was my role model growing up. He was extremely influential during my adolescent years. What may have strengthened our bond greater was that I was afforded the opportunity to share a special day once a year with him. I was born on July 7, a date that was significant to my grandfather as well, as he was also born on July 7.

During my middle school years my grandfather got sick. Even through his illness he attended all of my high school football and basketball games, and made it to many of my baseball games. He maintained his positive attitude through the chemotherapy; a fight that he ultimately lost to cancer during my high school years. My grandfather was a pastor, a husband, a father to three, and a very loving grandfather to seven, and I miss him dearly.

Years after my grandfather left this world I met the love of my life on July 10, 2012, three days after our shared birthday. I believe the two of us met by the Grace of God; her name is Michelle. As our relationship evolved, Michelle gradually introduced me to one of the greatest gifts that could ever be bestowed to another, the HU, a love song to God. I can still remember like it was yesterday, the first time I came to the Nature Awareness School with Michelle and her family in August 2013. The act of singing HU was explained to me beforehand, but I had never sang out loud, rather I would sit and silently sing on the inner. When the large group of approximately fifty or so people began to sing I sang quietly and hesitantly at first. At that moment, I saw my grandfather; he was in a suit and possessed that familiar smile. He approached from the back of the room and put his hand on my right shoulder. I could feel his love and he told me, “It’s okay.” A sense of love rushed over me, far greater than I could ever fathom nor be able to put into words. It was such a joy to see my grandfather and I know his appearance that day was a blessing from God.

Since August 2013 I have gone to a couple of classes at the Nature Awareness School and have gotten more comfortable with both the HU and my spiritual journey. My spiritual journey has become one of increasing clarity and peace. Sharing a birthday with my grandfather was a blessing, but in August I also get to share another significant date with him. Unbeknownst to me, the date Michelle and I decided to marry was the same date as my grandfather’s anniversary to the marriage of my grandmother, August 15.

God’s Healing Light

Often we are not even aware of the things that are holding us back spiritually. Fortunately God knows and if we receive the Light of God into our hearts It can gently remove the blocks and allow us to soar free. God’s Light truly has the power to cleanse, purify, and uplift Soul. It is a gift of love from God to experience It. – Enjoy

surfers-wallpaper-1152x864

It’s an amazing gift that God knows us far better than we even know ourselves. Sometimes we do not need to ask for a specific blessing from God. If we have trust in God and ask him for whatever he knows is in our best interest, the results can be far beyond anything we could have even thought to ask for.

Years ago during a spiritual retreat at the Nature Awareness School Prophet Del Hall led us in a guided spiritual exercise. During the spiritual experience an enormous wave of God’s whitish, golden light showered down on the group. God’s precious Light and Love filled my entire being. As it flowed through me it washed away things that were holding me back from living a more abundant life. This beautiful Light of God contained countless blessings that were custom tailored to each and every person receiving them. These blessings were a personal gift from God Himself, in His infinite knowing of what we each need, more than we could possibly even know ourselves.

I consciously surrendered to the Divine that I willingly gave up anything that was not beneficial to me. Anything that could be holding me back spiritually in life, I wanted gone. I saw little dark spots here and there being flushed out by God’s cleansing Light. They may have been old habit patterns or ways of thinking that no longer served me well. They may have been things like anger, lust, attachment, fear, or ego that were holding me back spiritually to some degree. They could have even been physical ailments. Without needing to know what exactly I was being cleansed of, I trusted God completely to purify me of what was no longer beneficial to me, and to leave what was good.

The roaring wave of God’s Light slowly turned into a gentle trickle of golden light attending to various parts of my being. I felt a sense of precision and gentle care as God’s Light washed away the negative things, and refilled those spots with His precious golden Light and Love. After this blessing and gift from God, I was left with an incredible feeling of freedom. I also felt a tremendous lightness, as the weight of these things that were holding me back were cleansed and washed away.

Often we hold on tightly to our imperfections. Even though we know they are holding us back, some part of us identifies with them and resists change. These imperfections are not part of the real us as Soul, a Divine child of God. If we trust completely, and give permission to God and His Prophet to help us grow and evolve to be able to live a life of fuller abundance, there is no limit to the amount of grace and blessings God can bestow upon us.

Over the fifteen years that I have been attending spiritual retreats at the Nature Awareness School, these blessings of healing and growth have occurred dozens and dozens of times. The cumulative effect of God’s Love and Grace is astounding. I can not even imagine what my life would be like today if it were not for the loving spiritual guidance of God’s Prophet and the precious love that God has given me. Thank you!

God’s Gentle White Light Transforms Me

Many times our initial experiences with the Light of God can be subtle. If we receive too much too fast it can put us out of balance. It takes time to acclimate to more and more intense experiences with the Light and Love of God. God and His Prophet know exactly what is appropriate for each individual.

Our book “Prophet Shares God’s Light” is filled with stories of people experiencing the Light and Love of God.

I was a seeker. I traveled the world looking for a path home to God. I tried going to church with friends. I tried yoga and dance. I tried fasting and strict diets. I tried meditation retreats. None of these left me feeling any closer to God. Having seen nothing, having no lasting peace, and no lasting joy to speak of. During one of the first classes I took at the Nature Awareness School many years ago, I received a vision of God’s gentle white Light. In a moment this experience awakened something in me that I did not even know was sleeping; a yearning to experience more of God’s Love and a desire to be able to communicate with the Divine.

Our teacher had instructed us to find a comfortable place to sit in the woods, and to relax. We were told we might experience something new; see the beauty of the woods or an animal moving. But the key was to just relax. “Unplug” and just be. While I have loved hiking in nature since I was a little child, just relaxing in it was new to me. So I found a suitable rock, got comfortable, watched the wind blow the trees, and listened to the creek flow by. I saw a chipmunk dart here and then there. I just relaxed and enjoyed the woods. Then I saw a gentle white light appear like a cloud in front of me. My eyes were open, yet the light I was seeing was not physical light. As I tried to look closer at what it was, it disappeared; but a presence of peacefulness remained. What was it that I had seen? I felt lighter and freer, and walked back into the class with a little more bounce in my step.

When we returned to class students started sharing their experiences. Del explained that Divine Spirit has many ways of expressing Itself to us, but one of the most direct ways is through the Light of God. God had been communicating with me when I sat on that rock. Wow, was I blessed! I had finally found what I had been looking for.

Since then, especially at retreats, but also at home using the tools Del taught me, the Light of God has revealed Itself to me. Each experience with God’s Light has transformed me slightly – has left me with a little more peace, a little more confidence, a little more joy, a little more freedom. Sometimes I have asked myself “why me?” I am an ordinary person, not a saint like I had read about in the Bible. I am a wife and a mom. I thought only special people or saints could have heavenly visions.

Yet because God loves us, He showers His blessings on us. I consider myself to be extremely blessed to have a living teacher that can help me to not only have these experiences, but to understand the message. He shows me how to integrate the peace and love and freedom into my daily life. I am a living testimony that seeing God’s Light changes us. It is the love that I received in these experiences that changed me. Where I used to be fearful, now I trust. Where I used to have a kind of sour attitude toward life, now I am truly happy. The Light of God nurtured me and transformed me from the inside out.

The Nature Awareness School is on a beautiful piece of land, but even more than the physical beauty is the opportunity to be in the presence of a true Prophet of God. Here in a seemingly simple exercise of sitting in the woods, I saw the Light of God. There is something special about the opportunity to attend one of Del’s classes. I have witnessed many people experience the Light of God during his retreats. Maybe Heaven will open a doorway for you to look through too.

God is still alive and still wants to bless us. He is just as amazing as He was thousands of years ago, and the Holy Spirit still reveals Itself to us through Light. I believe He wants to see all of us walk a little lighter, to see us all live with more peace, joy, and freedom. For us to receive His reassurance, that no matter who we are or where we are in our lives, He cares. He truly loves us.

Praying for a Puppy

Our love connections with others last way longer than our physical bodies do. Whether it is a family member, friend, or pet, our love for one another carries on beyond a single lifetime. As a gift of love, God often brings Souls back together to continue their journey. What a joyous reunion!

cat_and_dog_friendship-wallpaper-1280x768

When I was about twelve years old, our dog Mandy died of cancer. I felt sad and missed her, but before long I wanted a puppy. Dad felt differently. Deciding to put Mandy to sleep was hard for him and he would not even talk about getting another dog. So I turned to a higher authority. Every Sunday at church, I prayed for a puppy.

One of my favorite books at the time was “Where the Red Fern Grows.” The boy in that book also prayed for puppies but he knew that God helps those who help themselves. In his family it was a money problem, so he found many ways to earn money little by little to buy his dogs. He did his part. Later, he saw God’s Hand in all the opportunities that appeared to earn the money for his dogs. If he had not sought out ways to work, he would have missed the opportunities that God made available. I wanted to be like that boy, but since it was not a money problem, I did not know what my part was. I did not see it at the time, but part of it was simply being patient until Dad was ready.

About a year later, I was cleaning the kitchen after dinner and felt like I had to go outside. I did not want to, but felt something urging me to go into the back yard. As soon as I stepped out onto the back porch, I heard rustling leaves to my left. I hurried back inside, thinking it could be a raccoon or some other wild animal. Instead, a little puppy walked up to our back door. I got my parents and from the moment Mom picked her up, we did not even discuss whether we would keep her. We only talked about what we would do if anyone tried to take our new puppy, Charley, away from us. I knew she was the answer to my prayers.

Listening and obeying the nudge to go outside was also doing my part. Years later I learned from Del, the Prophet, that nudges are one of the ways that God communicates with us. An urge to take a different route, to check something before leaving the house, or to call a friend or loved one are all gifts from God. Opening the door that night was both a gift and an answer to a prayer. She was the perfect dog for us.

In my prayers I had requested a big dog, maybe an Alaskan malamute and husky mix. God knew better. Our little Corgi mix lived to play and give love. About a year later, my parents separated. Charley was the perfect size to sit on laps and comfort the whole family. Her loving companionship blessed all of our lives. I prayed for a dog, but God gave us so much more in His answer. He gave us love, joy, comfort, laughter, and a friend. Charley lived a long happy life and died in her late teens. Before she died, I would often look into her eyes and tell her how much I loved her and that if she wanted to come back in a new body, I would love to have her. Animals are soul just like we are. Soul tends to reincarnate with other Souls they have known or loved in the past, dogs included. I wanted Charley to know that she would be welcome if she wanted to come back.

A few years later I had moved to Charlottesville and was thinking about getting a dog. I hesitated since I lived in an apartment with no backyard and did not relish the thought of daily walks through rain, sleet, and snow. When volunteering at the local SPCA walking dogs, I looked in each dog’s eyes and wondered if this was Charley. If she came back and I found her, walking in the rain would be just fine, but none of the dogs was her.

Then during a class Del suggested that I get a cat. I adopted Bravo from the animal shelter soon afterwards and quickly fell in love with the most loving cat I have ever met. As we got to know each other, I started to wonder if he was Charley. Little things Bravo did reminded me of her and I kept thinking of Charley when I looked at my cat. I was still wondering about this when I took Bravo to the veterinarian. I now lived in a different town and the veterinarian did not know anything about Charley, but when I walked in the receptionist asked, “Is that Charley you have in the carrier?” I knew the answer was yes.

The receptionist’s question was an awake dream, another one of the many ways that God communicates with us. It confirmed what I suspected. The prayer in my heart had been answered; my childhood friend had come back to be with me again. With God and love, anything is possible, even a dog reincarnating as cat.

Gift of Surrender

The truly strong are those that know how to surrender. Not in the worldly sense of quitting or giving up, but of turning their spiritual growth over to Spirit and trusting not only the outcome, but the path taken to get there. Putting ourselves into “His Hands” contributes to a life of abundance because He knows us even better than we know ourselves.

beach_wallpaper_hd-wallpaper-1280x768

It was July 5th, 2002. The heat of the day was waning into a beautiful summer evening as the cool mountain air refreshed us with its breeze. We were gathered as a group in the field by the cabins where we sat in a circle. The Prophet sat in the twelve o’clock position. It was the beginning of our annual, week-long summer retreat. We were there to invite the Divine into our hearts and to give permission for It to teach us in whatever ways would be best for our spiritual growth. We sang several holy names, each one bringing a different experience or feeling: vastness, a feeling of spiritually opening up near the top of my head, and a sense of movement and flow. Then we sang the Prophet’s name. This brought a different more personal feeling, one of love and affection, the sweetness of a relationship that has been growing naturally over the years.

Prophet gave us an opportunity to say a personal prayer during which, if we wanted, we could surrender the coming week to Divine Spirit to whatever degree we were comfortable. God knows what is in our best interests for spiritual growth, but He will not violate our free will. It is important to consciously choose to open our hearts and be willing to receive these blessings. I wanted to make the most of this week so I surrendered as fully and completely as I could. In doing so I was saying, “Lord I trust you to bring exactly what I need during this retreat and in whatever manner and style you choose. I know you know what is best for me.”

We began to sing HU, a love song to God. The sound from the group was so beautiful. HU resonated in my ears and vibrated through me. I felt an energy coming down from above, then I saw it. It was a white hot and intense light. I felt love emanating from It. We began to sing a bit more softly. There was a swirling motion inside the beam of light. I noticed flecks of this white light coming off as it swirled around. As these pieces of light came off, they turned golden, piece by piece, each one containing enough Divine Love to move a mountain, heal a broken heart, and bring joy or whatever is needed. Just then the wind picked up. I was grateful for the coolness it brought. I saw the golden flecks of light being carried away. Tailor-made gifts of God’s Love each destined for a specific Soul, exactly what they need, just when they needed it.

For me, I was basking in love. The beam of light the Prophet brought into our circle was pulsating with life and love, blessing us all. The days ahead were to be savored. Having the opportunity to be taught directly from the Prophet of our time is a rare gift. These would be some of the most precious and spiritually fruitful days of my life, as every retreat on the mountain has come to be, because I surrender.

What I have come to know about surrender through my personal experiences during these retreats is very different than what the world thinks of it. Surrender is not an act of giving up. It is giving over, giving over guidance and direction of my spiritual affairs to the Divine. Surrender is not the mark of a loser, but one who may, through the Prophet, gain a life of abundance and bring the glories of Heaven to Earth. Surrender is not a sign of weakness, but one of wisdom, courage, and strength. It is through surrender that Soul wins. It is through surrender you become a refined instrument of God and can be a vehicle for Spirit to bless others. It is through surrender that you are freed. It is a gift to be treasured, a jewel with many facets, each beautiful in the way it reflects the light of Divine Love with which it was given to us. Done willingly and joyfully, it leads one deeper and brings greater appreciation for the sacred privilege that is the true gift of surrender. Under the Prophet’s loving guidance I have been shown these things and I wish to share these blessings with you.

Opening a Gift From God

God is actively reaching out to bless, guide, and comfort His children. Many people miss this because they have no reference for what these expressions of God’s Love for us look like, or they too easily allow their minds to blow it off. A living teacher, one who knows the ways of Spirit and can help you understand your experiences is imperative for those seeking to truly know God.

a_forest_of_stars-wallpaper-1280x768

Imagine you found a forgotten, unopened gift tucked away in a closet. When you saw the gift was for you, your curiosity would likely become excitement. The love put into choosing and wrapping the gift would still be there, waiting to reach your heart. I recently found such a gift and it was from God. While looking through my old journals, I found my first 3-Day Spiritual Retreat at the Nature Awareness School in 1997. I had a lot of fear then, especially of speaking in front of people, and though I longed to have spiritual experiences myself, I feared it might be too much and scare me. I did not see then how perfect my experience was for me, chosen with loving care by God.

On the second night, we gathered and sang a long HU. Though we sat very close together, I felt expansiveness around me, as if I were in a huge room. I opened my heart as much as I could and looked into the darkness, hoping to see something. With closed eyes, I saw a white light like stars in the sky and another light that turned before me like a small spotlight. I wondered if this was the Light of God Del had spoken of, or was it just the light I often saw at night. For years, I would sometimes see light in various colors float across my vision in a dark room. I enjoyed watching them, but never thought much about what they were beyond assuming it was a physical phenomenon.

The next day I listened as other students shared their experiences. Often they began by saying that they really had not experienced anything. No matter how amazing the experience, doubt can creep in, especially if the experience is new and not understood. As they shared, Del helped one student after another recognize that what they experienced was a gift from God. Some felt peace, some felt love, and some saw the Light of God. As the weekend progressed, I stopped being surprised to hear how unexpectedly blessed each Soul was. Still, I doubted my own experiences. It is much easier to see how loved another Soul is, how blessed they are. This can be a first step, first recognizing a gift or quality in someone else, and then seeing it in oneself.

Realizing that God’s Love was truly for me too, took longer. I let fear stop me from sharing my experience that weekend. What might I have learned then if I had shared, gaining help and wisdom from the Prophet? In my memories I found the gift still there waiting to be opened. When sharing His Love, God does not want to scare His children. He showed me His Light, which is love, in a gentle way that was already familiar to me. Not only was I just as blessed as my fellow students, I had been for years. Every time I saw light in a dark room, what I thought was some physical thing in my, eyes was really God saying, “I love you.” This realization rippled through my memories like a healing. Knowingness of God’s Love and blessings replaced how I felt and thought of myself then. By seeing the truth, I gained a new perspective that shifted how I saw that moment and all that came after.

Would my life be different now had I found the courage to share then, if I had understood then how blessed I was? I will never know what might have been. I savor this blessing now and wonder what other treasures lie in my journals and memories, waiting to be opened. What treasures lie in yours? Is there a dream so special you have never forgotten? Was there a coincidence that seemed far beyond what chance could bring? These gifts still wait to be opened. Within lies this truth: you too are loved and blessed by God.

As Soul I Remembered the Sound

Our journey through the Heavenly Worlds, our experiences with the Light and Love of God, and our spiritual growth will continue on forever. In a very real sense, there is no “finish line.” Most of us however can point to an experience or a time in this life when Soul was stirred. A time when we knew without a doubt that “there is more.”

sea_wave_waterfall-wallpaper-1280x768

It was one of my early visits to the Nature Awareness School for a spiritual retreat. I did not know what to expect, but God knew what I needed and led me to that class. I am so grateful for the Divine guidance.

I first heard it as the weekend began. We were sitting in the field as a group singing HU with the Prophet. It was the beautiful sound of a flute. I have always loved that sweet angelic music, but this specific sound was so much more. It was not the physical sound of any instrument I had ever heard. It was a beautiful and distinct spiritual sound flowing through everything. I was drawn to follow this flute like sound as if I remembered it from long ago. As Soul, I recognized that sound was coming from God and was not a physical sound. It filled me with love. I was comforted and at peace with a sense of being more complete than ever before. As my physical body sat in the field I was free to spiritually soar with the Prophet. In what seemed like an instant we were in a place where I unknowingly longed to be and experienced a freedom like no other. Later I learned the flute like sound is found on the fifth Heaven. As Soul I was familiar with this place.

The next day we were blessed with an offer to be taken to one of God’s Temples. These temples are located in Heaven. I accepted the opportunity and was led by the Prophet to a beautiful heavenly space unlike anything I had a reference for in the physical world. It immediately felt so much more real than anything I knew in my everyday life, with a heightened level of crispness and clarity. As I stepped forward I heard that now familiar spiritual sound of the flute and it was again so beautiful and full of God’s Love. It carried me in comfort and peace. Looking up my vision was filled with light emanating from what I could only describe as looking something like a castle. I went inside with the Prophet showing me the way.

We stepped into a large rotunda and I saw a huge beam of amazing, pure white light flowing up and down. This active, sparkling beam of God’s Light felt alive and nourishing as it illuminated the room and beyond. I recognized on some level that this was a very significant experience. I walked forward and put my hand up toward the beam as I looked to the Prophet to see if I had permission for this sacred act. With his affirmation, I put my outstretched hand forward and just let the light glide over my hand. There was so much in that light. It is God’s Light and Love which I felt as peace, strength, love, comfort, and so much more. There were no words spoken, but this experience has had a lasting impact on me. I have had many more experiences over the years with God’s Light and Sound, but in this life, real change started with that intense and loving moment.

As Soul, I longed to reconnect with the Light and Sound of God. I wanted to let it flow through me as a child of God. The experiences that weekend gave me a reference. It started my foundation in this life to really know there is so much more. There is more than just this physical world. Visits to Heavens are possible. God truly loves us unconditionally. I could feel His Love in my experiences. There was so much more of God’s blessings that I wasn’t yet ready to accept, but they are there for me as I continue to grow stronger on my spiritual journey. I am thankful for these experiences and the continued inner and outer guidance of the Prophet.

Light of God in My Heart and Sky

The Light of God is not something reserved only for spiritual giants of the past. Each and everyone of us is a beloved child of God and as such, we too can experience the Light of God. It comes in many forms and ultimately is an expression of God’s Love for us.

night_sky_12-wallpaper-1024x768

Some twenty years ago, at my very first spiritual retreat at the Nature Awareness School, I experienced the Light of God in two wondrous ways. A lovely evening was quickly giving way to night, as my teacher, Del Hall suggested we find a comfortable spot in the woods to try a simple spiritual exercise which he had just shared with us. As the first stars began to appear in the darkening sky, I found a place in the woods that seemed just right for me. A thick summer canopy of oaks, hickory, and maples formed a high arched ceiling above me, with just a very small window to the sky visible through the leaves. As I settled down on a comfortable old blanket upon the forest floor, I began to sing HU, an ancient song of love for God which seemed brand-new to me at the time. As I sang this ancient name for God, I became aware of a gentle, deep blue light which appeared before me. As I kept my eyes closed and continued with the HU song, I saw the light grow in both size and intensity until it nearly surrounded me. It was beautiful and serene, strong, but not blinding. I allowed it to surround me, and I felt almost as if an old friend was lovingly and gently placing a blanket or comforter around me. I knew without a doubt that this blue light was a divine expression of love being shared with me.

Del had suggested that we sing HU for a few minutes, then ask, “Creator, please show me love.” I felt that I had already been shown before I even asked, yet I continued as my teacher suggested and whispered, “Creator, please show me love.” As soon as I had done so, I had a strong urge to open my eyes and look up, into the forest canopy and the tiny window to the sky. As I did so, a brilliant, white shooting star blasted its way across the little bit of sky which was visible to me. Awestruck, I leaned back and gazed at the little patch of sky in wonder. Of course I had seen meteors before, but this appeared at the very instant I asked to be shown God’s Love, right through the center of my tiny view of the sky. I knew that this was a physical expression of God’s Love for me.

Later, after discussing this experience in class with Del, I began to understand that the gentle blue light I and some others had seen is rather like a calling card from the Prophet, an invitation to draw nigh to God and embark on the grandest adventure of all. And the meteor? Well, no one else in the class saw a meteor. For me, the experience helped me to see that there is absolutely no limit to the manner in which God can bestow light and love upon us, the children of God. And ever since then, every shooting star which I happen to see reminds me of that moment when God became more of a living reality to me, and that God loves me, just as God loves you.

Blue Light of God Brought Peace

We are not alone. God loves us and always has a living Prophet here on Earth to help, teach, protect, and comfort us. Ultimately – to lead us home to God. This Divine Guide can appear to you as a blue light in your inner vision or in the physical itself. Either way, it is joyous proof of being loved and not alone.

bahamas_blues-wallpaper-1440x1080

When I first moved away from home it was a very stressful time. I was in a totally new area and everything was unfamiliar. The stresses of moving, plus my first college classes, were taking a toll. I was having a hard time finding a new balance so I prayed for help.

One night I was sitting in my dorm room working on homework. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a brilliant flash of blue light. It was accompanied by a profound sense of peace. From the spiritual teachings I had received at the Nature Awareness School, I knew that this was no ordinary light, it was the Light of God; referred to in so many spiritual scriptures. The Light of God is one of the special ways, which God communicates to us. The blue light in particular indicated the presence of a high level spiritual guide. His presence also brought the profound sense of peace, the peace that I had been so hungry for and had prayed for.

Twenty-four hours later, I stepped foot on the property of the Nature Awareness School for another weekend retreat. I know the Prophet used the blue light to prepare me to get the most out of the weekend. This retreat was the beginning of a whole new leg of not only my spiritual journey, but my life! It brought joy and balance back into my life. Now I know that a spiritual guide is always with me, an ever-present source of comfort, guidance, protection, and inspiration.

The Blue Light of God

The Light of God manifests itself in many different colors. Each color has a specific meaning and can provide additional insight into the nature of your experience. To witness any aspect of the Light of God is a profound blessing and an expression of God’s Love for you.

shining_star_2-wallpaper-1024x768

Before I attended my first class at the Nature Awareness School I had come across references to spiritual light in books and heard people talk about it, but this light was nonetheless a mental concept to me. It was something that I had no personal experience with. All of this changed during my first class at the school. I was sitting out in the woods one evening as part of an awareness exercise when a beautiful deer walked in front of me. It was alerted by a slight turn of my head and started snorting and moving its head back and forth as it tried to identify me amid the fading light of day. My heart went out to the deer, as I felt love for this part of God’s creation, when suddenly everything in my field of vision – the deer, the trees, everything around me – became filled with a shimmering blue light. During this I felt Divine Love flood into my heart and fill my whole being.

The deer then bounded off and I stood up, amazed by what had just taken place. I had the knowing in my heart that Divine Spirit is real, and that what I had just experienced was way beyond anything that I could ever perceive with my physical senses alone. When I shared this experience with Del he did not seem at all surprised. He said that it was great and an important step on my path, and that there is a lot of spiritual help available to me. This experience was so stunning to me that I felt compelled to return to the school for a spiritual retreat and learn more about this amazing blue light.

As I attended more classes and continued to have more experiences with the blue light, both on and off of the school property, in dreams and while awake, I came to learn that this light was one of the aspects of the Light of God. It was also the calling card of my inner spiritual guide and teacher, the one who is a true Prophet of God. This beautiful blue light has been a constant companion to me over the twenty years that have passed since that unforgettable summer evening at the Nature Awareness School.

Sometimes it comes as a flash of light so small that I could easily miss it if I was not paying attention. Whenever I see it, it is a welcome reminder that my guide and teacher is spiritually with me. This presence helps me to make better choices that have led to a life of an abundance of peace, love, and the strength to endure life’s challenges. This is an abundance that I never dreamed was possible twenty years ago when all that I could see was filled with the blue Light of God. I am grateful to Del and the Nature Awareness School for creating a peaceful, relaxed setting, away from the stresses of daily life in which to experience God’s Love and Its Light, a light that has within it everything that I need.

Soul Knows Truth

You are a spiritual being on a journey home to the Heart of God. You have been created with certain attributes to help guide you during your travels. One of the greatest is the ability of Soul to recognize truth when it hears it. – Enjoy

Purple-flower-closeup-wallpaper_6742

Before I came to the Nature Awareness School I knew I was searching for a path to God, but I did not know I was also searching for truth. Even as a child, I knew that my parent’s church was not for me. I wanted more than to believe, I wanted to know, to experience God for myself.

There is truth that is greater than facts and far beyond opinions. Soul knows truth when it hears it, as the Voice of God sings beneath the words to touch the heart. At my first class at the Nature Awareness School, I heard in Del’s voice one of the key truths, that God loves me.

It was a survival skills class, but Del wove in spiritual teachings whenever there was interest and opportunity. This happened often throughout the week, but all I remember now is him saying “you are loved” over and over. When he spoke, it resonated in my heart like nothing I had ever heard in church. I felt my whole body vibrating with it at times. I’ve heard people say, “God loves you” countless times. Those who spoke or wrote it surely believed or at least hoped it was true. When Del spoke, I knew it was truth because he knew.

I have experienced God’s Love again and again. Over time as I accepted this truth and more, it became a foundation to build on. No matter what happens or how things appear, I know God loves me. To know from experience is a gift beyond measure. I have been blessed beyond my wildest dreams.

I Am Not Alone – The First Time I Experienced God’s Light

God is a living God. As uplifting as scripture can be it seems a shame to think God only spoke to His children in the past. I am confident God is alive and well. He still loves us and communicates with us in this day and age. One of the many ways the Divine can communicate to us is with spiritual light. The following is a beautiful story about seeing the Light of God for the first time. What a blessing!

Lovely-lonely-tree-wallpaper_7885

In 1995 I was living in California, but was working here in Virginia for a one-year temporary job-assignment. I was in a searching and seeking phase of my life – though not sure what I was looking for. It was an unsettled time, lots of change in several areas of my life. I had no real direction or rooting in anything or anywhere it seemed. I saw a small advertisement in a local magazine for the Nature Awareness School. I was immediately interested and called and spoke to Del on the phone. I can remember our conversation like it was yesterday. We talked about various things and the types of classes he was teaching, but it was something in his voice that spoke to me on a deeper level. I knew I wanted to go no matter what the next class was. Back then the school offered a mix of wilderness skills and spiritual retreats and it turned out the next class was a tracking class. Driving up to the school alone and taking this class was a whole new experience for me, as I had never done anything like this before but I was excited to go. I was open to learn and to whatever adventure was in store. I enjoyed the class and found I had a natural ability to see the tracks in the dirt during our practice sessions.

While there I was more relaxed and at peace than I could ever recall. At the time I was afraid of the dark and being in the woods at night, but not as much here. I felt safe and protected and knew I was in good hands. I slept like a baby. One night after class was over and everyone had gone to bed I stood on the grassy hill overlooking the pond. I was soaking in the beauty of the clear sky and the brilliant stars, appreciating the calmness and grateful for the courage I had to stand there “alone” in the dark and still be at peace.

I became aware of a bright white light over my right shoulder just out of my peripheral vision. It surprised me but it was a gentle presence that did not scare me. I turned quickly to see it but when I looked it was gone. I eventually settled down and went back to looking out over the pond, enjoying the peacefulness, and saw the white light once again. This time I turned slowly hoping to see more of the light and what it was; but as I turned around enough to look directly, it was gone again. This happened again, but this time I did not turn at all and used wide-angle vision we were taught in class to observe and be aware of the light without looking directly at it. It was comforting, gentle, and non-intrusive yet it seemed to hold so much more. I was not sure what it was, but I liked it and I knew I was not alone.

The next day I mentioned my experience to Del and he helped me understand that what I was seeing was the Light of God. Divine Spirit can come in many forms and one is light. Later I would learn that this presence is always with me whether I see it or not. Out of great love for me though, it chose to introduce Itself in a way that would not scare me. It was, as I learned in later spiritual retreats, offering to have an inner personal relationship and help guide me spiritually. In time, by nurturing this relationship, by singing HU, and being grateful for its blessings, this relationship has grown in trust and a true love connection has developed.

Almost twenty years later, as I sit writing this story in the same spot on the grassy hillside looking out at the pond, I am filled with appreciation, love, and awe at how every aspect of my life has been transformed because of this very real, very present, and very personal relationship with Divine Spirit. In the past twenty years I’ve gone through zigs and zags, and ups and downs in life, had relationship changes, career and finance changes, and relocations of homes, but the one constant has been this ever-growing love connection. It is the solid foundation upon which my life rests and is a source of peace, stability, comfort, joy, and happiness even on some of the more difficult days. I am truly never alone. What a magnificent discovery and journey this has been and continues to be.

The Healing Power of HU

22 Friday Aug 2014

HU is an ancient name for God that can be sung quietly or aloud in prayer. HU has existed since the beginning of time in one form or another and is available to all regardless of religion. Singing HU a few minutes each day will bring more love, joy, peace, and clarity into your life. It can also be sung when you are upset or fearful and need help rising to a higher view of the situation. It is a pure way to express your love to God and give thanks for your blessings. Singing HU (H-U-U-U-U) pronounced “hue” serves as a tuning fork that brings you into greater harmony with the Divine.

Most importantly, as this testimony illustrates, singing HU helps you to find and connect with an appropriate spiritual guide. Connecting with and developing this relationship is the key to spiritual liberation. EnjoyWaves-at-the-beach-wallpaper_5057

The HU was shared with me about fourteen years ago by my aunt and uncle. The first time I sang it in a group, I wept. It awakened something inside of me. My heart was opening to express pure love to God and I now know that it was the eternal part of me (Soul) crying tears of joy. I cherish The HU and have grown to sing it faithfully many times throughout the day. Each time I feel refreshed, more at peace and more grateful. Sometimes I am aware of a blessing or an experience and sometimes I am not. Over the years I have received a lot of healing when singing HU.

This summer at a week long class at Nature Awareness School I experienced a profound healing while singing HU. During an opportunity to have alone time at the class I hiked to Vision Rock, sat down and sang HU. I did not ask for a healing nor did I even know I needed one. I just prayed to give all my love to God and be receptive to whatever and however it came back. I invited Del, The Prophet, whom I trust immensely, to join me. We met in my inner vision and to my surprise we traveled in our soul bodies above space and time into past and future lives. I had an amazing experience and a healing that penetrated into the past, present and future all at once. I was shown all the areas of my lives where there had actually been love but it had not been recognized. I was also shown God’s love flowing into areas that truly were devoid of love. It was both a retroactive and future reaching healing. To say my past, present and future received healing during an out of body experience might be much for some to accept, but none the less it is true. My spiritual guide, The Prophet, is authorized to do this and it was the singing of the HU that opened me to this blessing.

It is humbling and exciting to know that I cannot grasp the full measure of God’s love, grace and mercy. Nor do I need to. This healing showed me that giving my love to God via singing HU came back to me a thousand times over. It is difficult to put words to this healing and what it means to me. It is changing my life for the better and even changing the lives of people around me.

The HU continues to reveal more to me as I grow in my ability to receive God’s blessings. I may never comprehend its value completely, but my heart knows that no matter what I go through in life; God’s love can open me to Divine blessings. I know it was the singing of HU that raised me up to a higher level where my spiritual guide could bless me. This blessing would not have been possible without the many years of conditioning my guide spent preparing me for that healing. Without the guide, singing HU alone could not have taken me on the journey of healing I experienced.

I learned from that experience that we all have wounds we may or may not be aware of from this life and even past lives. We all carry a burden equal to our measure. They affect the way we view the world, the choices we make, and our ability to give and receive Love. My experience during The HU gave me more compassion for myself and others. I have always appreciated The HU, but now I understand more of it’s incredible healing power.

This testimony highlights the fulfillment of a prayer in the heart of a seven year old who wanted to know God in this lifetime. Years later she found the deep peace she had been looking for through developing an active relationship with the Divine. She did this with the tools learned and the personal experiences she had at the Nature Awareness School. She now knows that most of our experiences in life can be boiled down to either giving or receiving love and that “Our Father” can truly live in our hearts. Enjoy!

The other day my spiritual teacher asked me “why should we care about God?” His question took me back in time to some memories. As a seven-year-old I asked my mom to explain the Holy Trinity. Despite her loving efforts to help me understand, I did not. Yet it was clear to me at that moment I wanted to know God in this lifetime.

With many mixed experiences being raised in a mainstream religion, I had an experience that stayed in my heart in a very positive way. Attending Sunday school the teacher was absent so a nun came to teach that day. She spoke to us of the Lord’s Prayer. She shared that when she prayed the words “Our Father”, she often could not go any further in the prayer. Those few words could give her hours of contemplation time. I felt her love and reverence for God and prayer. Being passive, I did not ask questions or pursue how one could contemplate on two words from the Lord’s Prayer. I only knew how to recite the words with little clue to their meaning. I was a teenager at that time and learned that it was the last year our church would offer Sunday school to teens due to a lack of interest. I was sad with that news but did nothing to pursue my options. Yet God spoke to my heart that day. A seed of love in my heart was watered reminding me that I wanted to know God in this lifetime, and that at least this one nun had a clue how to know “Our Father”. She had a deep peace about her which I lacked, yet I could feel peace in her presence. I wanted peace of heart too.

Back to the question… why should we care about God? The question caused me to wonder what does it mean to care about God, and how does one express they care about God? I have been blessed in numerous experiences over the past 20 years at the Nature Awareness School to learn in a very personal manner how to find answers to those questions for myself. I have been given many practical tools and methods to use which help me in all areas of life. I have learned through experience that God loves me and shows an interest in every aspect of my life. Through this active process I know that God’s essence, divine spirit is always with me. In this growing relationship with God, divine spirit is teaching me that life is about giving and receiving love.

Recently I helped another to express love by asking a friend to pick a few things up for me from the store as I was not feeling well. In the past I would not have asked for another’s help so readily. I have learned that it is not selfish to ask for help when it is needed. In a way it is selfish not to ask for help. Accepting help allows God’s love to come into our lives through others. It turned out my friend had prayed to be a blessing to another that day. She told me I had more than answered her prayer and asked if she could help in any other way. She was so happy that I accepted help with setting up a CD player so I could watch movies and relax.

Life is filled with God’s love expressed in the day to day events of life. It is so uplifting to see the hand of God working in my life. I have learned through experience that God hears our prayers and is ever present in our lives. “Our Father” now lives in my heart and it brings me peace.

The road to NAS

Dear Friends,

Thank you for reviewing the School website. In the past 20 plus years our school has evolved from facilitating spiritual retreats into a program of continuing spiritual education and ongoing personal growth. Current students attend several retreats every year to refresh, review, and grow on a continuous basis. Each retreat is fluid and different even if the name of the retreat remains the same. The Divine hand provides profound experiences, insights, and healings to specifically meet each persons needs at that particular time in their life.

Your mission in earthly life is to manifest the divine qualities that are already within you. Divine qualities can be hidden when we are still controlled by the “passions of the mind.” Fear, worry, anger, vanity, excessive attachments, etc. are examples of the passions of the mind, which deplete you, and those around you. Our retreats teach meaningful and practical tools to help you shift the balance in your life from the limiting and binding passions of the mind to your true nature, a divine spark of God. As a divine spark of God you will learn to grow in peace, joy, clarity, freedom, happiness, wisdom, and much more! You will learn to more fully give and receive love. Experiencing divine TRUTH will help you create an abundant life.

Life evolves and changes as we grow and develop into our true divine selves. A retreat or two pulls back the curtain on the divine guidance available but cannot sustain one permanently. Each retreat reveals higher and higher views of life. The goals of self-realization and God realization become an attainable reality. Retreats offer “spiritual food” to keep you nourished for the amazing journey ahead. This is a never-ending journey, the grandest adventure of all. A grand adventure of discovering the real divine self, the eternal self, and even the nature of the eternal God.

Do you want to transcend the narrow human consciousness, to a boundless spiritual consciousness? Do you want to experience the ultimate life adventure? Come try a Dream Retreat to start. Your heart will know if this is to be your life adventure.

Walk in Balance and Harmony,

Del Hall
