Transformation is the truest goal of any spiritual practice, isn’t it? Whether we are looking to better our connection to Source, improve our relationships, heal our bodies, tap into our inner powers, or shift our understanding of our deepest selves, we are seeking change. It’s one of the greatest gifts of walking this path of light: the journey itself is a transformation, and each step you take with purpose and intention brings you closer to the best version of yourself and this world.

This is necessary, of course, but in our focus on our spiritual quests, we can occasionally forget that life is supposed to be fun! We are on this planet, in these bodies, to learn and grow, yes, but also to celebrate the blessings of simply being alive. There is beauty to be found in every day if you know how to watch for it, just as there is joy to be had even in bodies that need healing. Love lives in infinite potential moments; your job is to be aware and accepting when it arrives.

How can you do this? How can you prepare yourself to be more open, more attuned to the unlimited opportunities to experience joy, love, and Light in your life? 

Practice! Just like any other skill takes time to learn, and just like you stretch your spiritual muscles each time you read a book or take a workshop, your capacity for joy will strengthen each time you invite it into your heart and soul, each time you recognize and validate it. And I can’t think of a better way to experience joy and validate its transformational effect than attending a Celebrate Your Lifeevent.

If you don’t know already, Celebrate Your Life is not just the name of our company, it really is our mantra! I’ve been doing this work for over two decades, essentially being a “spiritual party planner”—which, let me tell you, might just be the greatest job in the world. At CYL, we gather the best spiritual teachers and visionaries of our time together with spiritual seekers and students in a safe nurturing space where we can all inspire and nourish each other, learn and grow together, in Spirit.

From the moment you enter the room at a CYL event, you are honored and valued. We embrace each member of our Soul Tribe with so much love and joy, you will feel a rush of gratitude at the unconditional acceptance, and relief at being with other like-minded seekers—your people, your tribe, your spiritual support group. Our CYL events really are like great big soul love-fests! You will be so happy you joined the club. It’s like having your own personal cheerleaders along the sidelines of your transformational journey through life. The work of deepening your spiritual practices is internal, but your tribe can be there to advise, guide, listen, lean on, and love you without limits.

Speaking of love, let me introduce you to a self-love advocate and one of the most amazing women I have ever met, Anita Moorjani! We are thrilled that she has become part of our CYL tribe. She will be leading a seminar at Celebrate Your Life Phoenix about the power of transformation, and trust me, you won’t want to miss it! If you are present and open during this workshop, you will emerge as if from a cocoon, into a new, more authentic version of yourself with greater understanding, purpose, and self-love.

Do you know Anita’s amazing story? Wayne Dyer discovered her and introduced her to us and the world, because he saw the light that shines from her soul so brightly and knew she would be a gift to the rest of us. I felt it just like he did, and from the moment I met Anita, I was in love, too! Let me tell you just how fantastic she is and why you need to come study with her and bask in her compassionate, loving energy and wisdom.

Anita is the New York Times bestselling author of several books, including the eye-opening page-turner, Dying to Be Me, in which she discusses her near-death experience and the incredible spontaneous healing that occurred afterward and cured Anita of the cancer that almost killed her. Doesn’t that just give you goosebumps?

After Anita’s recovery, she began teaching the messages she learned from the NDE and using her second chance at life to spread the word about the power of personal transformation, and especially the tenets of self-love and being your authentic self. Through her brush with the other side, she experienced something most of us can’t, and that has given her heightened insight into the mysteries of life and death, and why it’s crucial to live fully and authentically. We are so lucky to have Anita sharing that knowledge with us!

Does it sound like I’m gushing? I can’t help it! You will too after you meet her and feel the warmth of love that surrounds her, the aura of peace and joy. Anita reminds us all that “love is not a luxury,” that we need to love ourselves “as if our lives depend on it” because in fact, they do! Self-love is an essential part of living your best life, of changing on any level, and Anita’s seminar will help you discover your own blocks and issues so you can move toward healing and transforming your beliefs, body, and mindset.

Loving yourself and being in deeper connection with your own spirit and the greater Spirit opens you up to possibilities only you can discover within yourself. What healing, what communication, what love do you want to manifest in your life? Anita can show you how to access the internal strength you need to reach those goals, and the self-love required to believe you can do it.

You can do it! You can move toward more joy, more light, more love—it all starts with loving yourself, being yourself, and expressing your truths. Your CYL soul tribe is here waiting to encourage your metamorphoses. What kind of butterfly will you become?
