“The Mile Between You and Your Dream”
With: Raphael Cushnir

In what aspect of life are you stuck - Career? Health? Love?

What if the distance between desire and fulfillment was far less than you imagined?

Would you believe it? Would you walk that last mile?

"Whenever people aren’t living their dreams, it’s because of something related to those dreams that they’re not yet willing to feel. Once they’re willing, the dream comes true in one form or another."

This passage appears in Raphael's upcoming article for "O, the Oprah magazine." In this article, he lays out four simple steps to finding and feeling any dream-blocking emotion. Come get a sneak preview of this groundbreaking process and begin putting it to use right away in a lively, interactive evening.

Just know what you want and haven't yet created - that's all the preparation you need. If you choose to focus on relationships - either finding or improving them - change will appear quicker than you may believe possible.

"Unique among teachers of personal growth, Raphael rolls up his sleeves and dives with people into places their inner work may never have pierced. Attending his workshop was an unforgettable experience, a giant wake up call." Tanya Glazer, Tiburon, CA
