I am so excited today, well actually I have been extra excited for a few days now, as I knew what was awaiting me at the end of the week. Tomorrow is the start of the “I CAN DO IT” set of conferences that Markus and I will be attending.

If you have never heard of this event, it is an annual event that Hay House presents in selected cities in North America and this one happens to be right where we are! The event is designed to be a retreat for the mind, body and soul as it fosters growth and change. Louise L. Hay founded the I CAN DO IT! Conference four years ago as a forum for kindred spirits to gather, commune, and heal themselves and each other. The I CAN DO IT! conference is intended to revitalize your soul, charge your body’s subtle energy centers, and bring a sparkle to your eyes.

Last year was the first time I heard of this event, but was not able to go. This year I looked into it a few months ago and when I saw the line-up for this year’s speakers, there was not a doubt in my mind that I wanted to experience this event.

So everything kicks off tomorrow evening and then continues on all day and evening Friday, all day Saturday and all day Sunday. I am really excited to share my experiences with you from this event and give you some of the highlights from the speakers.  I would love to post something as each day goes, but realistically speaking I am not sure how much time I will have to get to the computer over the course of the weekend, so my impressions may be delayed a bit.

This year’s speakers and topic include:

Thursday:

COLETTE BARON-REID: Amazing and Mysterious Intuitive Readings
SYLVIA BROWNE: Mystical Traveler

Friday:

BRIAN WEISS & JOHN HOLLAND: Journey of the Soul (we chose this workshop to attend)
OR
CAROLINE MYSS: Beyond Reason: Healing Through Mystical Wisdom and Common Sense

The hardest part was having to choose between the speakers. As during the day, one must make a choice between which of the 2 workshops they want to attend. So despite the fact that we really wanted to get to know Caroline Myss, as we are not familiar with her work yet, we just could not pass up on Brain Weiss!

WAYNE DYER A showing of his new movie “Ambition to Meaning” and then his lecture Excuses Begone! How to Change Lifelong Thinking Habits

Saturday:

BRIAN WEISS: Same Soul, Many Bodies: Experiencing Your Past Lives
OR
GREGG BRADEN: Fractal Time: A Guide to 2012 and Beyond

This was a tough one to choose between, as we really wanted to see Brian Weiss again and hear everything that he had to say, but there was no competition here between him and Gregg Braden. Coming from a science background myself, I just love how Greg Braden has united science and spirituality so eloquently, so needless to say we are going to hear his talk with ample excitement!

COLETTE BARON-REID: Messages From Spirit
OR
MARCELLE PICK: The Core Balance Diet

For this workshop we chose Marcelle Pick out of our passion for healthy, natural and holistic health and nutrition. And I also wanted to share the highlights from this workshop with my readers on Evolving Wellness as I am sure there will be some valuable information to pass along.

Sunday:

CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP: The Secret Pleasures of Menopause Create a Life of Unbridled Joy, Unlimited Abundance, and Vibrant Health
OR
JOHN HOLLAND: Power of the Soul Messages from the Other Side

Even though I love Dr. Christiane Northrup and would have loved to see and hear her, given the topic this time, we felt it would have been more beneficial for us to go see and hear John Holland. But I invited my mom to go to see Dr. Northrup and so I may have some highlights for you from that workshop after all.

CHERYL RICHARDSON: The Art of Extreme Self-Care Learning to Care for Your Soul in Everyday Life
OR
CAROLINE MYSS: Entering the Castle An Inner Path to God and Your Soul

With the final workshop, guided by our intuition we picked to see Cheryl Richardson.

I think the biggest reason that I am so thrilled to be able to experience this event is that I am so grateful for these wonderful teachers, as some of them have contributed a lot to both mine and Markus’ personal growth and evolution. I owe a lot of where I am right now in my life and thinking to Dr. Wayne Dyer. Gregg Braden has helped me to understand the amazing scientific side behind this so called reality, our thoughts and the connections behind all that we do not see. Thanks to Brain Weiss I was able to broaden my perspective on past lives and as a person in the field of natural health, as well as science and holistic nutrition, I highly regard Dr. Christiane Northrup as one of my role models.  And of course I am equally excited to meet some of the new speakers whose work I am not yet familiar with.
