Dorien Israel - Retreat Host
Dorien Israel is a healthy, happy and wholly alive
52 year old woman. And the mother of a beautiful, conscious
and self loving 21 year old daughter. She is a channel, an author,
dancer and sharer of the dream.
Fifteen years ago Dorien experienced a near death
experience that presented her with the gift of being able to access
direct guidance from the ascended realm and in 1984 she began
to conduct spiritual awareness classes based on the book she wrote
as a result of her experiences, Unbound. The Unbound
material lead to her and her husband working and living in Asia;
Hong Kong, and Japan.
Returning to the United States in 1993 she found herself in a
state of severe alienation; unable to relate to the masculine
western culture of consumerism, nor to the co-opted new age community.
Suffering from what was diagnosed as a clinical depression, a
condition that more than eight million women currently experience
and Dorien started her "anti depressant days"
|
This medication allowed Dorien to function,
but she continued to feel a growing sense of separation;
between her evolving spiritual self and that of the excess
ego driven world which surrounded her.
During this time she received revelation in the form of
her second book Tao Passages: The Way Home.
Its supreme sense of simplicity, sufficiency and serenity
gave her the strength necessary to make the tough conscious
choices of faith over fear.
|
|
In 1997 Dorien returned to Asia to live in Thailand
leaving behind a consuming complexity which nearly cost her her
sanity. She now lives a life that is congruent with
who SHE IS and what she knows to be so. A life that is real
rather than virtual. A life in harmony with the nature of
reality, fully focused in present time awareness.
Dorien believes that the Way she is living can be translated
and transplanted back to your homeland and that you and she can
find The Way Home Together.
A little more background on Dorien for those who insist:
- Author of - "Unbound": Spiritual Guide for Mastery
of the Material World, "Tao Passages": The Way Home,
" The Way to The One I Am".
- Reiki Master.
- Meditation teacher (10 years).
- Kundalini, Hatha yoga teacher (20 years).
- Qi Gong teacher (10 years).
- Aerobics teacher (10 years).
- Retired teacher, doer, over-achiever turned Sharer, Be-here,
and Be-Leaver.

Excerpts
from the Books
Unbound
The Truth that is yours is not some stagnant,
unchanging body of information known thousands of years ago
and frozen for all time. It is instead a truth that is being
revealed to you during each glorious moment of your life;
a wisdom that shall be found only in your willingness to embrace
fully each day of life that is yours—moment by moment.
Life is a living canvas; it cannot be made to
your orders, planned, executed, or contained. Instead it is
|
|
continuous, ongoing, dynamic, fragile in its appearance, but resilient
and irrepressible in its reality.
Be still; listen to the inner sounds. Be disciplined; disregard
your plans and expectations and freefall into the spontaneous moment
and you will be rewarded with a life lived out of the intention
to live. What else might you want—for those who fully intend to
live shall never die.
Tao Passages: The Way Home
Trust your divine Nature;
disentangle from external demands.
The Tao is content to be itself,
neither competing, nor comparing.
In search of nothing, It finds everything
exactly as it should Be.
There is only one time in which It is essential to awaken. Now
is the time, Here is the place, You are The Way.
Welcome Home.
The Way to The One I Am
I AM the Living Earth, the mystical matter into which eternal
Life is wholly grounded.
Through all that I AM shall you find yourself fully balanced.
I AM the Living Waters, a continuous stream of consciousness through
which flows the changing tides of eternal Life.
Through all that I AM shall you find yourself within the current
of creation.
I AM the Living Air, filling your lungs to capacity inhaling
the essential breath of eternal life.
Through all that I AM shall you find yourself divinely inspired.
I AM the living Light dispelling all darkness and delusion by
the sheer brilliance of Being.
Through all that I AM shall you find yourself accurately reflected.
