Farewell to our Beloved Pat Rodegast

It is with great sadness that I share with you the departure of one of the finest spiritual teachers of our time, Pat Rodegast. Pat transitioned yesterday, April 4th.

For over 30 years, Pat Rodegast channeled a spiritual guide named Emmanuel. Many of you remember Pat from Celebrate Your Life. She was a regular presenter for many years.  Emmanuel's gentle loving and truthful wisdom always rang true to my soul.

In 1984, Ram Dass discovered Pat and Emmanuel while listening to a radio show and was quite taken with their work.  Ram Dass wrote the forward for Pat's first book, called Emmanuel's Book. 

My mother, Ariel, immediately resonated with Emmanuel's messages. The book fell out of the bookshelf in a store and landed at her feet. After reading the book, she sent a copy to me in LA where I was living.  I was 26 years old. She told me to read it with my heart, not my head. Just a few months after reading the book, Pat came to LA for an evening lecture followed by a full day workshop. I attended the evening lecture but did not have money for the full day event.  I begged the coordinators to volunteer for the full day but they did not have room for me.

Early the next morning I received a phone call.  The event coordinators had someone gift them a ticket and I was first on the list.  I went to the workshop and sat for 8 hours in a fold out metal chair completely silent, motionless and mesmerized. My mind was still and my heart was soaring. I will always remember how my soul celebrated that day as I listened to the truth of this human existence from Emmanuel.

My mother and I continued to follow Emmanuel and Pat's work and then one amazing day, we received an exciting phone call.

My mom and I had already started Mishka Productions.  This was around 1998. The woman on the other end introduced herself as Cheryl and shared with us that she lived in Arizona with her family and her mother-in-law who came to visit them quite often was an author.  She wanted to know if we wanted to do an event with her mother-in-law. Cheryl then said "I don't know if you have ever heard of her, but her name is Pat Rodegast and she channels a spirit guide called Emmanuel." Ariel and I started to cry, we were over joyed and could not believe what we were hearing.

One thing led to another and naturally we began working with Pat and Emmanuel. It was a love affair in heart and soul. We all became dear dear friends and most especially Ariel and Pat.  They were two stunningly gentle sage women.

I am certain that Ariel and Pat are celebrating together, honoring their lives in human form and drinking a delicious glass of red wine.

Here's to you Pat. You gave me a path to love when I was in great fear.  I love you.

In honor of Pat, we ask that you visit her Facebook page and share messages with her family and friends.  Click here for the Pat and Emmanuel page.

"Death is like taking off a tight show. Even when you're dead, you are still alive.  You do not cease to exist at death. That is only illusion." - Emmanuel 

Stay Connected to Love...

Liz Dawn Donahue

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.
