Are you open to redefine #enlightenment? Many desire the experience of Oneness and go to great lengths to achieve it. Perhaps you are a spiritual seeker who has developed a disciplined spiritual or religious practice and experienced fleeting moments of utter bliss. Others magically experience non-ordinary states of consciousness without even trying. What if enlightenment is more of a mindset that you can develop than a random, serendipitous breakthrough in consciousness? Matthew Ferry will challenge you to shift your perspective and develop enduring, enlightened prosperity.

Sherryl Lin has vivid memories of being a young child with a pure, loving heart who knew that everything was possible. She knew that she had intuitive abilities back then, but being that there was no one to explain to her what she was experiencing she shut that part of herself down. Sherryl Lin was always interested in spirituality and spent much of her early adult life looking for the next teacher or guru who, she was certain had the answers she was looking for. Everything shifted when, through a series of mystical, awakening experiences, Sherryl Lin began to remember her connection to Higher Levels of Consciousness and her abilities accelerated at an exponential rate.
As a Master Intuitive, Spiritual Guide and Medical Intuitive Healer, she reads the energy beneath your words, working deeply at the cellular level as a Spiritual Conduit, bringing you back into alignment with the truth of who you really are.

Life calls us to continually grow beyond who we have been into the person we have the potential to be. And this invitation doesn’t cease when we hit 70, 80 or even 90 years old. It’s time to shift into a conscious aging model and embrace the pinnacle of life. Help shift negative beliefs and cultural stereotypes about the useless elderly to a worldview that honors and cherishes the elder.
