Retreats
	Optimum Health Institute - Having spent three weeks at OHI in Feb. 2006, I can wholeheartedly recommend this cleansing and detox progam. I visited the San Diego Institute for a greatly needed rest, and was pleasantly surprised by the sincerity of the individuals participating, and returned home renewed and rejuvenated.
	American Yogini - Somehow Mary Maguire found me on the Internet. We've never met, but have spoken on the phone, and I absolutely love what she's doing in the way of the business that supports the creative spirit in all of us. And on my wishlist is one of her painting and yoga sojourns. It's important to have a wishlist!
	LeSport Body Holiday - In the early spring of 2003, I visited the beautiful island of St. Lucia for a two-week odyssey of sun and relaxation. For those individuals looking for a quiet and secluded sanctuary in a four-star setting, Shaysways highly recommends this journey across the Atlantic!
Products I use and love
	Young Living Essential Oils - I've been using these oils off and on for the better part of the last ten years. Over the years, and many other essential oils later, I've always come back full circle to the Young Living collection. My primary reason is the remarkable blends that Gary Young has formulated. They are magnificent, and cannot be found anywhere else. Some of my personal favorites are Joy, Believe, Forgiveness, and Release. Call our toll-free number to place an order: 1-888-301-6773.
	Nature's First Law - Having personally met and interviewed David Wolfe, I can without question recommend any and all products on his website. He is truly a leader in the raw food movement, and the most committed individual I know to sustainable living and saving the planet.
	Tooth Soap - This is a great alternative to sugar-chalk toothpastes for many reasons. Read why your teeth and gums may be getting damaged by glycerin and chalk (not to mention the sugar) in practically all commercial brands of toothpaste. It's an eye-opener! (Read Boyd Martin's experience)
	Subtle Energy Solutions - Of course, this is my own company, and I use these products pretty much daily. Check them out and see what you think! If you have any questions, please shoot me an email or give me a ringy-dingy! (1-888-301-6773)
	Joto Bags™ - Every item is handcrafted in Japan from contemporary kimono fabric. The traditional designs, intricate patchwork and beautiful colors blend together to create an elegant, wearable piece of art. Each handbag and table runner is the result of a collaborative effort by a group of artists, working to the highest standards of craftsmanship and design. It’s fitting, then, that we call them jotobags™ — "joto" means "excellent" in Japanese.
	Sassybax - What a great invention!
Awareness, spirituality and physical well-being
	Sage Era - If you're looking for a community source on nutrition, weight loss, and vibrant living, this is the one! For only $19.96 a month you can participate in regular teleseminars with leaders across the country in nutrition, fitness and transformation. Along with the teleseminars comes a back office packed with audio archives of some of the best-known transformational writers, nutrition specialists and spiritual leaders in this country. Also available is a beautiful book, A Diet for a New Life, by Marian Bozesan. Daily e-coaching is included, and much, much more.
	Landmark Education - In the mid-late 90's I did a series of seminars with Landmark Education, and found the work both supportive and transformational. I use the education daily in my work ethic, personal relationships, and of primary importance, my own personal transformation and self-discovery.
