XL Entrepreneur Life Shift Program
 

Kind Thanks
A heartfelt thank you to the Team in USA – Liora, Joelle, Lynne, Veto and of course Mark Victor Hanson! The room was warm and welcoming and filled with brilliance as we made our way through the first XL Entrepreneur Life Shift program in the US. I truly appreciate the effort, support and contribution by everyone on the team. I would also like to acknowledge Kevin, Mike and Gil from New Zealand and Paul Dunn from Australia who contributed so much to actually see that XL did make it to the US and last but not least, a big thank you to Roger for the big vision and making the US a reality. You are awesome!

Insights and Awareness
Los Angeles – the city of angels – we found them, we worked with them, and we all transformed together. Thank you to everyone as this was the most amazing group of people that I have had the pleasure to work, dance, play, learn and evolve with. Thank U!

Magic is right in front of us – sometimes the best thing to do is to step back, set the stage, hold the space and let magic happen. It was wonderful to have Lynn share her magical voice, Getrude her inspiring storytelling and Mafe her emotional roller coaster. In all, the weekend was magical on many levels - it was very special to be part of the magical force of transformation.

Stepping through the fear can liberate - As a new comer to the LA environment, I must admit that my heart pumped hard, I did have some uncertainty bubbles flowing and I was not sure what to expect. After the kind, generous, and welcoming introduction by Mark and his decisive leadership with some last minute logistical challenges, Saturday and Sunday glided by smoothly and simply. 

Opportunity Knocks
It was a pleasure and honor to introduce the XL Entrepreneur Life Shift Program to LA and it was great to hear about some of the different business opportunities that our members are involved with and how we can shift consciousness in everything that we embark on. Social entrepreneurs will be the major engines to transform the planet and the key areas of change will occur in Education, Health & Wellness, the Environment, and the Commitment to Peace & Prosperity.

During the session, we were inspired by Life Members who are committed to transforming the Education Industry which spans from the womb to the grave – Nichole  shared her technologies to make babies brighter, more vibrant and more evolved; Tamir and Nnika, Captain, Lynn and Tracey shared programs that encourage personal self discovery, building self esteem and nurturing self expression.

In the Health and Wellness from Veto shared some exciting new developments in marketing and developing a line of water products along with MVH; Janet introduced us to her book that  allows for reprogramming of DNA in the treatment and cure of multiple schlorsis, while Athena, Thomas, and Gail shared some revolutionary treatments for anti-aging, cancer and healthy living.

As we move into recycling and the care of Mother Earth and the Environment, Janet and Gail explained some of the underpinnings of natural energies and feng shui while artist Jo shared her mission in Bali to clean the beaches of Bali and how she will be moving this forward during her next trip to Bali for the Entrepreneur Business School. We also heard about the great work that Andy Steele in Thailand is doing with Plant a Tree Today and how the XL magazine has selected PATT as it designated charity under the XL Social Accreditation program. We were also encouraged by the Environment direction that Flo and Mafe plan to take as they move XL in the Philippines.Results
Mafe was one of the amazing breakthrough participants of the weekend. A courageous young lady from the Philippines shared her personal story and inspired everyone with the sincerity, honesty and willingness to step into vulnerability. In doing so, she created the space for love, forgiveness and joy to fill up the gap. Great shift and we all should take to heart that we energized the shift that that we can and DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
