Ocean of Gratitude Cruise 2008

Ocean of Gratitude Cruise 2008 was filled with many wonderful AHA moments! Wayne and I enjoyed every moment embracing all aspects of life. Dr. Emoto's influence and presence was felt throughout the eight day Western Caribbean journey as every presenter, their presentation with each participant resonated good Hado vibrations of love and gratitude.

Time with Michael and Rickie Beckwith was beyond awesome! From Michael's Spiritual insights to Rickie's Soul songs the experiences were transformational, inspirational, unconditional love, joy and light. And I feel infinite love and gratitude for having had time to visit with Michael and share from my heart about synchronicity, spiritual awakening, Soul Art Collage and Family ∞ Love poster's image and healing message of interconnectedness to enable a community for healing ourselves, our environment and our Earth.

"Consciousness empowers us to experience the oneness in everything and everyone." - Dr. Darren Weissman
Darren Weissman's presentations were filled with many of those AHA moments. As one of Dr. Emoto's Hado Instructors I naturally wanted to experience Darren's "LifeLine Technique." My session took place on the upper deck of Liberty Carnival ship in the energy and light of the full moon the experience was both self-empowering and memorable. A "WOW" AHA moment! Now often throughout my day in thought I chant, "Infinite love and gratitude, infinite love and gratitude, infinite love and gratitude."

In Cozumel Wayne and I enjoyed the opportunity to walk uneven ground that meandered among the towering Mayan ruins of Tulum, "The City of Dawn" erected on the cliffs that overlook the beautiful transparent waters of the Caribbean Sea.

In Limon, Costa Rica we experienced taste of the tropics on the river highway leading to Nicaragua; observing Howler monkeys, Sloth, cranes and more in their natural habitat. Prior to climbing on board the 100-year-old train in route to the banana plantation we enjoyed a snack on locally grown coconut, pineapple and banana. As the train pulled to a stop little children greeted us offering up hibiscus and orchid blossoms with hope of some small token in gratitude. This reminded me of a early childhood experience in post war Germany at about age 5, I would run with the older children to greet the US Army caravans. The soldiers tossed chocolate bars and chewing gum rations as they drove by. Some cheered as we ran alongside with hope of catching some small token in gratitude.

We traveled by bus to Panama City with Christine Stevens to drum with the local Panama people and musicians. Drumming under the bridge of America was a very powerful experience! A beautiful reminder of our interconnectedness with each other and with everything. Afterwards, we enjoyed a homemade lunch of some local area traditional foods. This by far was Wayne's and my favorite meal! We wondered if those preparing this awesome meal had listened to Shawn Galloway's song, "I Choose Love" as we could taste the camaraderie, love and friendship that went into its preparation with every bite.

The highlight for me was the opportunity to present my Soul Art Collage Workshop! I send oceans of infinite love and gratitude to Karol Avalon. Ocean of Gratitude provides infinite possibilities to discover, share and shine in body, mind and spirit with the attitude of gratitude. Both the Tapestry and Persian rooms provided an awesome environment to present my Soul Art Collage Workshop! Participants let me know they enjoyed their Soul Art Collage experience! "It was a fun, relaxing way to create with intention and incorporate all the wonderful knowledge gained throughout the week; and provides a lovely keepsake to bring home. A reminder to focus positive in every area of life living infinite love and gratitude."

Combined Wayne and I must have taken a couple hundred photographs. Jane Young creates these lovely little movies to highlight our travel experiences and the Soul Art Collage workshop presentations and have them available for viewing in YouTube and my Soul Moments BlogSpot.

"Powerful and timely! A beautiful synthesis of ancient insight and modern science Dr. Weissman gives our mind a reason to accept what our heart already knows that love is the great healer of life, and the power to love into wellness lives within each of us."- Gregg Braden
