My previous post began with the destruction of La Casa de Maria and the Center for Spiritual Renewal. For twenty years, I have made a self-pilgrimage to
the top of El Cielo. It's a 4.3 mile hike from the Center to the ridge line (8.6 mile round trip) above Montecito. Now, it’ a fine of $5,000 for anyone
who even enters the trail after the destruction. Read More...
IGNITE, ENGAGE & TRANSFORM!
The greatest renewable resource is human energy, the source of resiliency.
Eileen’s blend of inspiration, humor and content make her one of the most sought after female speakers in the country. She’s HUGE on customization. Check it out. As for resiliency, don’t BOUNCE back - grow forward. This is not about adversity but advantage. It is not about pain but possibility. Resiliency can be learned, cultivated, and practiced. And it can be done with vision, foresight, and joy.
Our Mission: Transform the life of work and the work of life through conversations that matter and connections that count.

This past January would have marked
the 21st year to go La Casa de Maria and The Center for Spiritual Renewal, a blessed retreat house that for decades has offered silence and reflection—plus

range towering over Montecito, CA and offers views of the distant Channel Islands.
