Purpose, and What to Expect...
New paradigm leaders are provided a safe haven to explore their desire to create a better quality of life for themselves, and to work with others to bring about a new global consciousness based on inclusiveness, respect and unconditional acceptance. The founders maintain that the act of holding sacred space for another human being is an act of selfless service, which is the very essence of this new approach to global activism.

The Living the Miracle (LM) Global Network is comprised of individuals who serve as activists for spiritual, social, economic, political and environmental change by choosing joy as a path of service. They are building the energetic foundation necessary to address some of the world’s most pressing issues including overpopulation, pollution, poverty, starvation and malnutrition, quality of healthcare, families in crisis, and substandard education. These new paradigm leaders are seemingly ordinary people who have learned that "follow your heart, change the world" is not just a cliché but a way of life.

In this retreat we will explore in depth the roles outlined in Carol Fitzpatrick's new book, A Call To Remember - Follow Your Heart, Change the World. Participants will meet in groups to discuss and fully activate their leadership roles as:
  • Way-Showers
  • Transformers
  • Awakeners
  • Bridgebuilders
  • Wisdom Keepers
  • Seer/Intuitives
  • Healers
  • Waterbeaers
  • Visioners
  • Gatekeepers
  • Balancer/Stabilizers
  • Master Builder/Master Teachers
As in previous Living the Miracle gatherings, we will be building a vortex of light to most fully activate the upcoming world shifts. Carol Fitzpatrick will orchestrate the configurations which guide and accentuate our world service, and Mark Torgeson will provide foundational music which heightens the process and propels us toward personal and global transformation.

Northern Virginia 4 - H Educational Center  

The Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center rests on the side of  Harmony Hollow, right below Shenandoah  National Park,  4 miles from Front Royal, Virginia. There are trails, a pond, fire circle and lovely mountain vistas as well as cool breezes wafting down from the Oldest Mountains in the world.

We'll be staying at the Robinson Lodge, the newest facility, with rooms which accommodate 2 - 3 persons with private bath. This overlooks the Conference Center -  where the activities will be held - and sports a panoramic view of Harmony Hollow.
