The Radical Sabbatical is a great exploration of our unique truth and destiny. A Radical Sabbatical journey expands wisdom and truth about our purpose, our relationships and the 'awe' of our true nature, the source that's always there to guide us. RADICAL: of, relating to, or proceeding from the root; of the origin. SABBATICAL: a year of rest for the land, every seventh year in ancient Judea.

What happen to the sabbatical for the teachers in our education system and why is it foreign and not embraced by corporate America, the very group who could benefit the most from relieving stress of its executives. People who dare to take a sabbatical are those who are on a quest for a significant life change and greater meaning. It is a craving for 'autonomy' or 'adventure.'

At many junctures of our lives we are challenged with uncomfortable and sometimes painful symptoms resulting from the stress of long work hours, the anxiety of finances, the panic of long to do lists, the blogs, clogs and congestion all around us. Not often do we challenge the choices we are making on a day to day basis or notice the contrast or resistance as it relates to our happiness. Our minds are on automatic, once creative and open are now responsive or reactive as provoked and required.

Once in awhile we are in character of our true nature - full of creativity, courage, adventure, curiosity, playfulness and fun. Many of us catch glimpses of this when we are out of our element, on vacation, away from it all. The Radical Sabbatical is an intensive, culturally, ecologically and spiritually rich journey to Revisit, Restore, Redefine our life purpose. We return with an opening of new insight and supporting practices that create all the goodness, richness and abundance in our life and relationships.

The program is supported by a veteran life leadership mentor and founder Lynn Gardner, M.A.A.H.A who has taken her own radical sabbatical three times during her career life. She is described by her clients as having compassionate acceptance and acknowledgment of where people are and seeing the sacredness of what is. She acts as a catalyst for her clients to overcome the risk and build confidence and trust that the practical and financial stuff will take care of itself. You are not doing anyone a favor - yourself, family and organization - by staying in a job that does not feed you on some deeper level. If we already have built into our lives refreshment, it is not imperative to do anything radical. But if we are not experiencing this in a significant way it may be time to explore ways to rest and be still. Her philosophy is that with an intensive program of restfulness, stillness, yoga and meditative practices we access greater balance, clarity, creativity, courage, respect, understanding and fearlessness. The Radical Sabbatical helps us on a deep level to discover the answers we are seeking to our perpetual question and restores our Divine Purpose and Destiny.

Last year's African Safari offered the group an amazing nature experience where everyone celebrated the beauty and miracle of diversity. The second group journey offered to the community launches August 3 through August 13, 2006 to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley of Peru, a place of great power and magic. The beauty and wonder of the landscape, the warm people and the incredible mysteries left by the Incas combine to change the visitor's perspective forever. Traveling and immersing as a group in a timeless culture and ecology provides a unique and exclusive experience of observing new dimensions of life and a certain truth of information that collectively raises our social and environmental consciousness.

As Eckert Toll author of 'The Power of NOW' so profoundly says, "You are here to enable the divine purpose of the Universe to unfold. That is how important you are." By taking a Radical Sabbatical you will learn the mystery that it is by doing less and being more that you are capable of living a life of great abundance.

Daring to be Yourself The aim of this book is to help you achieve a 'wide-awake' state of consciousness, with integrated use of left and right brain abilities, forming the bedrock for breakthroughs in personal consciousness and spiritual insight. The practice is based on the premise that we have learned disabilities which set boundaries to our action and knowing. But no one need accept that they must remain as they were shaped by their hereditary body-mind and by the conditioning of their childhood and culture. This 264-page paperback book is like a "best of" the trans4mind site - that you can read snuggled up on the sofa, away from the computer! But much more than that, it's also an incredibly powerful program for personal growth. Remove the barriers to self-knowledge and reveal your full potential with this step-by-step approach. Our Blog features excerpts from the book plus current news, views and links. "I realize many people use praise in ways that sound frivolous...but I must tell you that your book has changed my life AND I mean that in all ways. I found the entire work wonderfully upbeat, readable and valuable! It really was quite a wakeup call. In the midst of my "trials and tribulations" I had failed to be "me." Anyway, this "talk with you" really did change my life. Thank you! I needed this kind of "kick in the pants." It worked. WOW! You made a huge difference in my world."–Becky, USA
