Celebrate Your Life Phoenix-Sedona 2012

Annually, you could pretty much mark your calendar in November that Celebrate Your Life & Mishka Productions was going to be holding an event in Phoenix, AZ.  The weather is always beautiful and the energy is high, the Speakers and Authors love coming here at that time of year.

THIS YEAR WILL HAVE A CHANGE!

This year's event will be held at the Enchantment Resort in Sedona, AZ, Nov 8-12.  The Enchantment Resort exist on spiritually hallowed ground.  One of my friends, Dave Keadle, who has been there 3 different times said, "You can definitely feel a different vibe while walking around there." The grounds are on one of the powerful vortexs in the Sedona area.

The following Authors will be there: Iyanla Vanzant, Doreen Virtue, Sonia Choquette, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Rickie Byars Beckwith, Neale Donald Walsch, Sunny Dawn Johnston, Caroline Sutherland, Denise Linn, Sarah MacLean and a special opening ceremony with Uqualla, a Medicine Man from the Havasupai Tribe.
The event will be uniquely different.  More intimate, more involving nature (being outside), collaborativily created by all the authors.  Everyone will be able to rub shoulders, interact with and be with the authors throuighout the weekend.

The Story Behind the 10 Year Anniversary Event!

Dear Celebrate Your Life Fans,

So many of you have been asking us why we changed the format for Celebrate Your Life. After sharing the story with a CYL fan, she said to me, "This event is truly Divinely Guided".

She is right.

It came time for us to book our venue for the 2012 November event in the Phoenix Metro area. I immediately went to the resort that had be...en housing us for many years, much to my dismay there was no space available. I was shocked and even spoke to the regional VP. There was nothing they could do for us, another sales person had sold the space.

I took this as a sign to look for another venue. We looked everywhere and not one hotel had room for us. I immediately went into meditation and asked the Angels for guidance. This was our 10 year anniversary and I had longed to make this event special. For many years, I have used Doreen Virtue's Mermaid & Dolphin cards. They are a wonderful guide for me and pretty accurate.
 

I kept pulling the card "Time to Move On". I was concerned and confused (okay, a bit freaked out too!) so I picked up the phone and what better person to call, but the creator of the cards herself! Doreen is a dear friend and was happy to help. She took a breath and started to give me messages from the Angels. "Liz, the Angels are clearly telling me that it's time to do something very different. You need to do the event in a power place on the planet and they are telling me Sedona. They are also telling me Enchantment Resort as it sits on a very large vortex of energy. The event needs to be smaller, intimate and much more in depth as it is time to take people to a deeper level".

Doreen continued and even shared with me what the Angels were telling her about the line-up of presenters and who needed to be there. My head was spinning because I knew what this would mean in terms of it being a smaller event AND I thought there was no way that Enchantment would still have room for us at this late date.

In spite of my limited thinking, I picked up the phone, spoke to a sales person and not only did they have meeting space, but hotel rooms as well. I then called all the presenters and they were available too! I shared all this with the Mishka Team and we all started to brainstorm on creating something extraordinary and special.

Needless to say, this 10 year anniversary event is extremely Divinely Guided and it will be an extraordinary event. We are so honored to have been given this opportunity to create such a magnificent and soulful experience. We hope to see you there!!

With Peace,
Liz Dawn

Stay Connected to Love...

There is no doubt that many of us are feeling the effects of change as we enter 2012.  It‘s almost as if we are on a roller coaster and we are hanging on tightly as we shift through the turbulent motion of going uphill and then moving at the speed of light as we descend.  It is most definitely an interesting time on our planet.

I remember my beautiful mother Ariel, who doubled in my life as one of my greatest spiritual teachers, sharing with me that there would be time of intense stress that would bring up people’s fears.  She further shared that this would be the moment when we would need to be extremely practiced at being able to stay connected to who we truly are, which is simply love.  My mother would continuously share with me that part of our mission on the planet is to completely identify with love not fear, to choose embracing an open heart and not ego.

I understand all too well that this is easier said than done.  My mother understood that as well.  Perhaps that is why in 1995 we created our family business, Mishka Productions.  Ariel was a firm believer in spiritual education and wanted to do something to help shift and uplift the consciousness of the planet.  She and I embarked on developing workshops and conferences with teachers who embraced like-minded concepts.

Liz & Ariel (Mom)

For many years, we created one event a month and then in 2002, she and I created an event that to this day brings people from all over the world to participate.  We decided to bring together over 20 of the country’s top bestselling authors and most sought after spiritual teachers to present workshops and keynote lectures for an entire four days.  When we started the event we had no idea the magnificence in what we were creating. My mother appropriately named this event, “Celebrate Your Life!”

Although my beautiful mother transitioned in 2009, I have continued to move forward with our mission.  We have continued presenting the Celebrate Your Life conference in Arizona and Chicago.  The 6^th annual Celebrate Your Life Chicago will be on June 8-10, 2012.  This is quite an accomplishment for two Jewish girls who got started with a phone line in her dining room.

There are moments when organizing an event of this magnitude can be tiring, however what keeps me going are all the life-changing and inspiring comments we receive from attendees.  Here is something from a conference attendee:

“Celebrate Your Life is my gift to myself.  I consider this conference "food for the soul".  It renews my spirit, and I end it every year feeling euphoric.” – Janice Z.

Our next conference in June takes place in Chicago and features bestselling authors, Marianne Williamson, don Miguel Ruiz, James Van Praagh, Neale Donald Waslch, Caroline Myss, Michael Beckwith, James Redfield, Barbara Marx Hubbard and so many more powerful life-changing presenters.
