By Dr. Sheri A. Rosenthal -- We lead very busy lives these days, and our attention is pulled in so many directions. It is so easy to walk through our lives absolutely asleep. This lack of awareness and the tendency to put the computer of our minds on auto-drive, helps create life situations that are not pleasant, not beautiful... That is where the retreats and journeys enter into the picture! You get to experience life in a totally different way to see with different eyes.
