If you are not already familiar with the miracle of Divine Openings, please read our home page and then return to this page.

The 5-Day Silent Retreat is the most delicious of all Divine Openings experiences. By the end of it, your enlightenment process is highly accelerated (I don't call it "complete", only because we are never complete, in all of eternity). Your life will move with more Grace, ease, and flow than you ever imagined after these 5 days.

There is no "working on yourself"
in this retreat, or after it, for that matter. The days of work and processing and struggle and toil are over. Grace does the work, while you practice letting go and enjoying yourself. There is also no "returning to the real world". If you haven't gotten it yet, you'll ease into the knowing that there is no real world, only the one you create. It only gets better after you leave, either slowly or quickly expanding into greater and greater bliss and peace.

Some do the 5-Day so they can become Givers of Divine Openings and catalysts for healing of physical problems. You may be called to do this formally, or not. You'll serve as a conduit for The Divine Presence, just by being you, whatever you "do" in the world. Divine Perfection flows through you, independent of your human imperfection.



Jesus and a few saints, gurus, masters, and mystics throughout history gave direct infusions of Grace, or "healed" through Grace. Up until now, there were only a few who could do it, yet now, more and more ordinary people like you and us are becoming channels of Grace. Remember the prophesy, "You will do all that I do and more."

This is the time.
Now YOU can be initiated to give Grace, initiate enlightenment, and heal with a simple touch. You don't have to "earn it", you just savor this lovely retreat, and let The Divine do the heavy lifting.

We usually invite locals to come receive Divine Openings from the newly initiated Givers on Day 5.

New initiates are amazed at how powerfully their hands "come on". The initiates come out full power, and the entire group of guests has powerful experiences.


The 5-Day Silent Retreat is a "Honeymoon With The Divine." But this honeymoon never ends -- it actually expands and grows deeper with time.

We give advanced types of Divine Openings and deep processes in the 5-Day that we don't do in any other programs. Some of Lola's Divine Openings are like being embraced by the Divine Mother, and one recent participant said "I reached the Stairway To Heaven." The five days culminate in a beautiful initiation ceremony that becomes a cherished lifetime memory.

The 5-Day is a rich, sensory, lovely experience. You will be completely relaxed and feel really, really good by day five, as you would after a perfect vacation. You'll have a deeper, more intimate experience with The Divine than you've ever had before.

It's impossible to explain how so much can happen in five days, without talking, coaching, or working on yourself. Grace does most of the "work". Your job is to make the decision and commit. There really is no actual work for you to do. You simply show up, let go, do some lovely activities, feel, and let The Divine do the heavy lifting. Things shift and transform miraculously, in yourself and your world (as if there were any difference). Your own everyday life accelerates after this course.

Two weeks after her 5 Day Retreat: The other night I had a dream that a bobcat, lion and lioness, a panther, a domestic white and tan cat and many monkeys where at my house with more on they way. I don't know which one had bells but I heard them again. I at first felt frightened  as the big cats tried to approach me, but felt somehow, that I was safe.  This dream was so vivid and colors so intense. (Soon after, I got a great job at a spa called Los Gatos, Spanish for cats.) I have been so busy... many phone calls of people wanting massages (it was dead before).  I am totally enjoying my life and business so much more.  Divine Openings and hanging out with you for 9 days has had me high and blissful, everyone keeps telling me I look different and that my aura has changed.  I have been playing more and not being so serious. Things are not only going great for me but my family seems to be flowing and more blissful.  We all laugh easier.  Thanks for letting me experience first hand and showing me how life could be.  Love and causeless bliss, Dinorah

   
Three weeks after her 5 Day: Hello Dearest Lola!!!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!!!!!  Really no words to Thank-You for all you do.  The 5 day intensive is by far THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE!!!! I have my first Divine Opening Event this Sun. 11/22 which is full.  Many clients have had Miraculous Healings since I returned.  Old, painful, chronic conditions have beautifully just melted away!  Just this week a lady with frozen shoulder after her Healing was able to put her arm behind her back (to snap her bra :) ) which she hasn't been able to do for months with no pain, she said after her session " I know that this sounds wierd but, I got up off the table and just knew that I could do it!", a chronic tennis elbow in which this person had had since March, couldn't hold a cup of coffee and in one session had no pain, another client said at the end of their massage that they forgot to tell me that they had been waking up in the night because of shoulder pain.  So I asked if she was open to doing things differently than what we had done in the past and she said yes, so I gave her a healing for just a few minutes and she says, WOW that was very strange, I wasn't in pain at that time but I could feel it leave my body!!!!! Thank-You! Thank-You! Thank-You Lola!!!! Much Love to You!!!!  Steph

I've been absolutely buzzing at work.  Nothing seems to phase me and everyone is doing great!  Words can't express or describe my experience last week but it was certainly a life-changing event.  I think you're right (of course you are) - it will keep going for a long time - probably the rest of this life and into many more.  I'm waiting for my books to arrive but did a  DO yesterday with a client who already has the book...profound. Will keep it short for now.  Love and hugs, Cathy

 



Catch the wave of Causeless Bliss
that hit the folks during the 5-Day Silent Intensive in April 2009 at City View Ranch in this 3 minute video. Be with the feelings that might come up that might not be so funny. Watch it again until you can laugh out loud.

You CAN go from where you are now to that kind of bliss and joy.
Working on yourself won't ever get you there. Letting go will.

Watch more videos and listen to audios of participants sharing experiences!


Lasting new friendships form in the silence and the last day is full of laughter and celebration.
An amazing variety of people take the 5 Day. In these photos are dentists, psychiatrist, doctor, nurses, writers, electrician, police officer, teachers, dancers, artists, horse trainer, engineer, internet entrepreneurs, corporate trainers, salon owner, chef, moms, retirees, massage therapists, military helicopter mechanic, arborist, and pharmacist.

 

 Wow, this morning when waking  up I decided to give some remote Divine healings and Divine Openings. After giving a few I had to stop because I was overtaken with waves of joy and ecstasy flowing through my body ... whoooweee...  Divine openings are not only good to give, but also good to feel.   George, electrician and Divine Openings Giver, California




The course begins to work on you precisely when you register.
Preparatory activation energies begin immediately, and then amp up 16 days prior to the 5-Day event. This is why you must register early (in addition to the fact that it fills early). This creates a smooth 21-day process. From ancient times, "21 days" has been a sacred initation period.

 
You aren't kidding when you say it begins when you register! I woke up every two hours last night vibrating like I was plugged into some cosmic generator!  And the dreams!  whew!  And my session with my client this morning was on a different plane!Wow, Lola!  I am enjoying this magical ride! Love, Anne


This profound 5-day silent retreat feels like a restorative vacation, but the effects last a lifetime.  Here at City View Ranch (or in other beautiful locations around the world) we luxuriate in deep ecstatic states, eat delicious healthy food, laugh, enjoy amazing music, play with animals, enjoy fire circles, and do many, many powerful activities that we like to keep as a surprise. You might walk by the sea, or in the labyrinth by the pond, and we do Tibetan Rejuvenation, non-habitual movement, and other gentle, fun exercise. You'll bathe in a field of resonance of pure Divine Energy twelve hours a day. There is a lot of resting and relaxing between Divine Openings to assist you in assimilating these powerful energies.


Susan, Geophysicist: There have been non-stop breakthroughs for me and my entire family since the 5-Day in January!!!! I couldn't begin to list everything, but the energy is still so high, and so pervasive, that everyone I visit with comments on 'there's something different - so alive - about you lately...." so I tell all about your wonderful book and website!!!

But best of all, I went to the 5-Day thinking I had three small obstacles that I wanted to Move. Imagine my surprise (right...) when I realized that wasn't the issue at all! With all the Grace and Love still radiating from every pore, I reached out to family members who have been out of touch for too long, and now doors have opened that I thought were bricked over, cemented shut, and covered with thick thorny vines. Not so! During the 5-Day it became intensely obvious for me that family is incredibly important and I missed my family so much! I believe and feel in my heart that I am now creating the most wonderful, loving family situation and that it is, and will continue, to get better and better!

'Thank you' just doesn't do justice to the gratitude I feel for you bringing this Grace to all of us. It is the missing link, and the powerful, empowering message you share and give has changed every ion in my existence. I do believe that my resonant frequency is now off the charts, but that's ok because new, better charts are being created every day!  Wow!!!
Thanks and much Love, Susan


Tammy Taylor, singer/real estate investor from Houston:  "I was lying in bed last night tingling, totally blissed out, even my teeth were tingling!  I laid there and sent Divine Openings to particular people.  I have been floating around like a little angel with a constant grin on my face.  Everyone around me is grinning and they don't even know what hit them!  It cracks me up to observe all this. I've recieved stories from several people whom I've given direct and remote Divine Openings -- it's awesome!  I'm so happy to see such miracles as a result of my willingness to open up and allow the Divine to do what the Divine wants to do."

New initiates make a life-transforming difference for others with Divine Openings.

Some are giving Divine Openings just to friends, family, and needy people. Others are doing it professionally. Some are affecting the entire collective consciousness just by being quietly happy broadcast towers. Did you know that just by being more enlightened, you affect 100,000 other people without doing anything? It is not necessary to give formal Divine Openings to make a huge difference in many people's lives.

Some find their special gift is assisting others with physical healing, while others give Divine Openings only.

I gave healings to my friend with MS - she says she's sleeping much better. As for me, the numbness in my face is gone!  I had an app't w/ my doctor today and told him I was no longer eating my anger. . . . he loved it!  He said he was going to use that line on his patients!" Love you soooo much, Ev

You can be a beacon for Divine energy, light, and intelligence through any medium or profession: banker, baker, musician, professor, or artist. Past groups included doctors, nurses, construction worker, writer, singer, designer..... people from all walks of life.Each person who does this program contributes to the awakening of the planet even if you just be who you are in your normal profession! Most initiates find that life accelerates to a whole new level soon after the course. See some of the recent initiates' comments shared below.

If you feel called, take this course just for personal reasons - to make a quantum leap in your own life -- or to be a leading edge giver of Divine Openings.

Healers/teachers: you can upgrade your power,
open up your prosperity, and get the big dose of self-care and rejuvenation that healers much need.

After the course, you are supported by emails, conference calls, and online materials after your course. There's a special private area of this site for Divine Openings Givers. There you'll connect with others who have been through the process, and get tools and resources you'll need.


Lola Jones is a "teacher of teachers."
People who are very advanced find new heights. Lola brings in new energies, and acts as a transformer to make them useable on this plane in a very grounded and stable manner that works in your practical life. She is then able to give other teachers the power to channel those energies. They are then able to channel the energies directly for themselves, and to their clients, students, family, and friends.






To Register for the 5 Day Silent Retreat:

Prerequisites vary with the person. Some are ready enough after only the minimum prerequisite: reading the book. For some people we recommend first doing the Level 1 Course, online or live, Level 2 Online, or phone sessions. We handle this on a case by case basis. There's not much verbal content in the 5-Day. Your conscious mind and emotions get more attention in Level 1 & 2 Online, so while these courses are not required before the 5 Day, they are certainly recommended at some time. If you are on mood altering meds (or drugs, alcohol, or pot), you'll need to wean off them before you arrive. Discuss with Lola.

  • Register far in advance to assure your space. It sometimes fills months in advance.
  • We've added the option of automatic-debit payment plans for those who don't have credit cards or can't put it all on at one time (Normally your credit card is your own self-managed payment plan.) Your payment plan must be paid off in full 16 days before your course begins -- so you would register 2 to 5 months months in advance.
  • Your company may pay for this as a business development course.*

Lodging: You'll arrange your own nearby lodging and transportation, with specific easy recommendations from us. We send you a roster with everyone's contact information, and you coordinate any room and car shares entirely on your own.

Tuition: $1750.00 U.S.

  • We've added the option of payment plans, when you register far enough in advance. Balance is paid before retreat begins.
  • Includes healthy lunches and dinners all five days.
  • Does not include breakfasts, lodging, or transportation.
  • Currency exchange rates fluctuate. When you register from another country, the credit card company makes the exchange automatically. The tuition translates to a different number than the American dollar amount.
Payment and Refund Policy - Your registration assumes you have read this, and that you agree.

More of The Many Notes From Participants:

From Stephanie: Dearest Lola, No words to express how Thankful and Honored I am to be part of The Divine Openings Team.  It moves me deeply.  WOW!!! I am SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!  I can feel EVERYTHING ramping up, all of this is so much bigger than anything I could have dreamed up in my wildest imagination!  Here's to Ease and Expansion!!!!!
Love, Love, Love You!!! Steph XOXOXOXO

Sam works in the UK prison system: My dearest Lola, I have held off emailing you since the 5 Day Intensive in Austin in January, primarily because I was in so much doubt after my return to the UK ... I was coughing up depression, anxiety, rage. This confused me, as I was expecting bliss & calm ... I was in total doubt about your teachings. I have spent the last week re-reading the book from scratch and 'working' through Level 1 online and, oh my God, things are starting to lift! It is probably too early to take score but I wanted to let you know that I feel things are starting to change .... I have spent the last 2 days feeling really calm, open, blissful to the point of tears, all this whilst on night shift at work and, by rights, at a time when I should be raging due to hormones! My first experience with you in London was, about a minute after you placed you hands on my head, that I was sat under the blasters of a rocket, I felt my crown chakra open to the full width of my head and energy was just pouring in, I felt like I received a download ... what that download contained I have no idea, but I don't feel the need to know. I came away feeling so calm & happy. Texas was a similar experience ... nothing for the first 4 days except doubt and anger ... then in the initiation ceremony, I felt like I'd been punched in the chest, like my heart had exploded and the tears flowed like a river ... it was beautiful! I think previously I have been expecting Divine Openings to work without actually doing as you advise, now I am doing what I am supposed to do the results are feeling phenomenal. I am so excited!


From Dorothy, a psychologist: I did one healing that at first scared me because of the physical effects of uncontrolled twitching and "vibrating" of the person for several days. When he went to his physician a week later that all stopped as well as the physical pain he had been experiencing for 10 months since an accident. The doctor could find nothing wrong with him. His father called me last week that he remains well and calls it a miracle. The father did not know of the divine healing and I do not think the son remembers. When I got out of the way God truely performs miracles.

From Dinorah
: Lola, OMG! OMG! OMG! I gave Aurora (radio talk show host) Divine Openings. She was so amazed by it that instead of having me on her show once, she decided to make it a series as she experiences the three Openings.  We did the first one just after her opening and massage. It will air this Sunday. The recordings (two of them) will be played two consecutive sundays and will be a teaser and build up for my live interview on December 13  which will be after her third Opening.

She was talking about maybe making me be somewhat of a regular on her show.  She was saying such wonderful things about her experience and how much she loved my massage. She is receives massage often and has never felt one quite like it.
I am so excited!!  Dinorah

From Stephanie:
Hello Dearest Lola!!!!!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!!!!!  Really no words to Thank-You for all you do.  The 5 day intensive is by far THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE!!!!
 
So now for the updates :), within the first 15 min. of our flight home, I was inspired to make outlines for Divine Events, dates for events, new bussiness cards.... the list goes on and on!  Presto Changeo DONE!  I have my first Divine Opening Event this Sun.  11/22 which is full.  Next one is Sat 12/12, already half full :) oh and I haven't even gotten an email written to let people know of these hee, hee!  I meet with the owner of one of the largest Metaphysical Stores in the state the first week in Dec. to get on her Calender of Events through her facilities- HUGE!!!!! :)
 
Many Miraculous Healings since I returned.  Old, painful, chronic conditions have beautifully just melted away!  Just this week a lady with frozen shoulder after her Healing was able to put her arm behind her back (to snap her bra :) ) which she hasn't been able to do for months with no pain, she said after her session " I know that this sounds wierd but, I got up off the table and just knew that I could do it!", a chronic tennis elbow in which this person had had since March, couldn't hold a cup of coffee and in one session had no pain, another client said at the end of their massage that they forgot to tell me that they had been waking up in the night because of shoulder pain.  So I asked if she was open to doing things differently than what we had done in the past and she said yes, so I gave her a healing for just a few minutes and she says, WOW that was very strange, I wasn't in pain at that time but I could feel it leave my body!!!!!
 
Thank-You! Thank-You! Thank-You Lola!!!!
Much Love to You!!!!
Steph

From Katherine Wallace: 
Just a quick note to mostly say "Wow!!!"
 
Attending the 5-day was one of the best things I've ever done for myself.  The coolest thing is that my hands still turn on...every so often I check them just for fun, and sure enough, the fire starts.  Having no exposure to "energy" concepts in the past, I find the tingling in my hands absolutely facinating.
 
My Divine Healings need some work...my friend still needed a root canal and Melvin is still very sore from when he slipped in the shower, but there are surprises at every corner.
 
I had scheduled a major upgrade to the financial systems of three organizations to begin the Wednesday after I returned.  The processes went so smoothly we all had time on our hands...each instance of converting data took only half the scheduled time.  We had set benchmarks with trial runs and each was marked at eight to ten hours--the production conversions took only four to five hours each.  (In the tech world, that's a big deal).  The transisitions went smoothly and clients came up on their new versions without any incidents (another very big deal).  Yes, we are good at what we do and we work hard to have these types of successes, but there was more at work here than our efforts, guaranteed!
 
Life is just easier, whether it's at work or at home.  I'll need to get an Easy button!  I'm having great fun and looking forward to what each day brings.
Thanks so much,
Katherine

From Erica Rock: Divine Openings is even helping my sweetie!  Click on the link and see the ad he did.....he is the cute one with the longer hair wearing glasses:) This is so cool! LOVE YOU ANGEL FACE!

Melinda Gates:  I've had the opportunity this week, since home from Austin a few days ago, to work on both a mom and her daughter -- the mom's back went out, and the daughter burned her hand (2nd degree burns) this weekend after picking up a frying pan that had been in the oven without an oven mit.  These friends know me fairly well and know about my "out there" beliefs and practices, and they were fairly open minded to receiving healings from me although I know they had some pretty hefty scepticism as well.
 
Well, Dianne just called to say that her back is 1000% better today.  And that she could not believe how great her daughter's hand looked.  Dianne is a nurse and saw Jen's hand Monday morrning (before I worked on her) and thought that it was going to scar up badly.  When we both saw the hand last night, it was incredible; there is almost no scarring!  I was pretty shocked myself!
 
Dianne called to thank thank thank me.  I really appreciated the feedback; I know it's not "me" that's doing the healing, but the confidence can only help me in a positive way to get out there and share.  Confidence has been something that's been lacking in my life...but it's a whole new world now I'm finding!

From Bev McCaw:
A man (Bill Carter) from Alaska traveling on the same airport shuttle gave me this beautiful cross of Grace (a certain shape that represents Divine Grace) that is white with Rhinestones in it on a small pedestal because he did not have money.  It is about 9" tall x 7" wide.  He was inspired to bring it on his trip to Port Angeles, WA (he is seeing his very ill brother) and was flabbergasted to meet me on the bus as it was an answer to his prayers.  He has been trying all different modalities for enlightenment and not getting results and having difficulty with depression which he does not understand. He really saw how the synchonicity was no accident and is so excited about how valuable the Divine Opening is to him and the book, that it is beyond words.  After he received the Divine Opening, he had to hold his precious cross one more time but he was filled with so much joy for me to have it.  So now I have something representing Divine Grace for my alter! What a nice beginning as a new D.O. Initiate.
So I gave him the book and one Divine Opening as I was inspired to do and he is going to contact me for follow up.  I gave him the D.O. while we were on the ferry ride (we were all alone)and then he got to lay down completely on the back seats of the bus afterwards. It was perfect.
Thank you so much!
Bev McCaw

 

Elizabeth, psychiatrist: Back at work the day after her intensive ended, she reported, "Wow, and thank you so much!  I have already given a Divine Opening to 5 patients,  I called it a blessing prayer,  and they were all fine with it! I am amazed at the fire in my hands, and it comes on every time, in just a moment. Just amazing grace! Got alot to be doing now, but it doesn't feel overwhelming at all!" (She had been exhausted when she arrived for the 5 Day.)

Then she wrote: ".... how different my life is from a week ago!  I feel like I am walking on cloud nine since I left on Sunday... the biggest boost of all came from GIVING the Divine Openings.  I am blown away... just blown away... I want to spend the rest of my life living in your new world.  I am in heaven....right here on earth.  Thank you a thousand times over." 


Here, Elizabeth demonstrates the hard work and rigorous austerities she had to endure during the 5 days to achieve what she did.

 

School teacher: Read what her students said about the breathing exercise she does with them. She gives them Intention Openings (special Divine Openings for those under 18) through the "breathing exercise".

Massage therapist: I feel I have been back from retreat longer than a month because of all the things that have happend since then. Like a life time away.  I started receiving about 10-20 calls a day for a week, I was doing more massages than I have done in a year or two....I was asked to leave the place I was doing massages because of zoning and ended up in a beautiful spa (as an employee) in a good part of town.  Life is moving fast yet I don't feel I'm doing anything.  I feel more at peace yet lots of changes. Dinorah


Semi-retired salon owner in her 40's:
  I feel so blessed to have met you and know you a little better. I have an incredible story to tell you. I'm raving!!!!! About a year ago I got a hold of your book. I then went on line to buy it and started reading it. At that point in my life I thought I was going to die, or at least wanted to. I just broke up with the love of my life, Micheal. I remember clinging on to every word of your book. I so desperately wanted to feel better but I didn't know how. I was in a very low vibrational state. I read the book in a few days and decided to sign up for the level one on-line course. The first things I learned were, where my emotions were on the instrument panel and to write down everything I wanted. The first thing I wrote down was that I wanted restoration in my relationships. Micheal's name was the first one I wrote down. Since then I have read your book several more time and have had a few private phone calls with you and have had the privilege to go through the 5-day silent retreat and to help with one. I have felt so happy and have been enjoying life. I have been giving Divine facials to people and have seen first hand what Divine Openings have done for me and for others. I always knew that the love I shared with Michael was Divine and cherished it. I have not heard from him in almost a year and have not seen him around either. It was just the other day I fully surrendered my heart and let go. One day after I let go, He called me. We met and it was like we were never apart. We were both on the same vibrational level. We shared our spiritual journeys and laugh when we realized that they were the same! Being with him feels so different but yet the same. Today I have been reunited with the love of my life. I have given him a Divine facial and he had what seemed like jolts of energy run through parts of his body. Through his one arm at first then when my hands were on his head he jerked like he was just shocked. He could only explain what it wasn't. He said it wasn't like starting to fall asleep and you catch yourself and wake up again. He explained it as electric shock. Have you ever heard of this? Can you explain in your words?Thank you my dear dear mentor. What you have taught me and have given me has change my life forever! And I know that I will always be happy because you showed me the way to my Divine within!!!!!  I love you, LeAnn, Erie, Pa

Divine Openings Giver in Denver: Lola, I think I started giving Divine Openings on a regular basis about the time that your Dad was really sick.  All of a sudden, many people who are either actively in my life, or acquaintances, or people's families - started having serious illnesses or problems. One in particular is a 20 year old son of a girlfriend of mine.  About every 6-8 weeks, four of us go out to eat and share what's happening in our lives.    KC's story was always pretty much the same.  Her son stayed in his room, communicating only with the computer, was pretty surly, had no friends, had flunked out of college and was making life miserable for himself and his family.  She had him in therapy, but he resisted going and it wasn't helping.  When we went out on November 5, she told the same old story.I made up my mind I was going to start sending healing to her and her son on a regular basis.  I didn't tell anyone.  I also have a list of people who needed help and they were included as well. Well, we all went out to dinner about 10 days before Christmas and KC's first words were "there have been 3 miracles where Ross is concerned."  I was stunned and never thought I'd hear "Miracles" and "Ross" in the same sentence.  She said he had read a book then lost the book and went out and bought it because he liked it so much.  (He never read anything that he didn't have to for school work before).  He was excited about the book and communicated that to his brother who was home for the holidays.  He started going to therapy without hassle and started opening up.  And he asked if his friends could come over and watch a football game.  First of all, he'd never had friends before, and he'd never had anyone over to the house. These things were huge for my friend and her son.  She emailed me today to say that he is reading more (thus, spending less time on the computer).  Therapy is going well and one session a month his mother goes too and progress is being made there.  He is in a much better mood and is much more outgoing. This whole situation was affecting her marriage and she knew it was soon going to be time to ask her son to support himself and move out on his own.  He now understands that and is slowly starting to plan for a future for himself. Lola, thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to help others through Divine Openings and healings.  I've been offering healing for a long time, as I am a Reiki Master and have worked with several other healing modalities. The Divine Openings and Healings open people up on a whole different level, so that more light can shine into every area of their lives. Love, Pat

Engineer, Mom, and Massage Therapist: "I am still amazed at all the wonderful things that are showing up- so much has changed in my life, in all our lives since starting with Divine Openings last November.   Blessings & goodness to you and all the critters." Love, Laura Witonsky (6 months after her 5 Day and 9 months since beginning Divine Openings)

Mom and intuitive Counselor, Austin: Dearest Lola, Thank you for being the "real deal" and offering the "whole enchilada". The strong conditioning of 40 plus years are fading and disappearing. My story is having less of a hold on me. I will say that before Divine Openings I was a perpetual seeker constantly exploring teachers and modalities. Soon after reading one of your articles in Austin All Natural magazine...Boom, there I was weeks later in your 5 day intensive. The silence, music, food (yummy), massage (ahhhh!), the initiation ceremony.... all synchronously flowed in a nest of Divine vibration and guidance. With the retreat an opening act, the post retreat energy continues to intelligently flow in my daily life. I love my new Divine eyes feeling more in tune with my inner knowing. For the first time I am available to more good than I have experienced or imagined before in my life. I am ready to uplift, guide, and support others to transform their lives with this healing energy from The Divine. Many years down the road on my tomb stone I want a glass hatch that encases a shiny red button that when pressed visitors will hear my voice saying "THAT WAS EASY!" (Lola has Easy Buttons everywhere.) Much Love & Gratitude, Kimber

Salon Owner, Pennsylvania: Hi Lola, I want to let you know I am so much in Love with the divine in me! My employees are asking for me to "touch" them. The energy in this salon is incredible. It's buzzing!!! Yesterday, one of my clients came in to get her nails done. When she was at the front desk paying she told my front desk manager how she felt great. We were all up at the front desk when I was sharing my time in Austin with them. She said she was going to gamble at the casino and if she wins she will split it with me. She knew I had my hands on hers for an hour. She called me later that afternoon and said she just won 2900.00! I wasn't surprised. Thank you for a beautiful experience. It is priceless!  Love and warm hugs, LeAnn

Man from Michigan, just out of grad school: Dear Lola, Just wanted to share something that happened to me as I returned to Michigan last night.  A guy walked past me in the Detroit airport parking lot. He was up there in years and seemed to rely heavily on his walker.  He stopped by a car and just kind of stood there.  I felt an overwhelming intuitive desire to send him healing and a Divine Opening.   I felt the energy rush through me and  started to tremble a bit.  Right then, I saw his body "jump" a little bit and he turned around and looked at me surprised, apparently sensing that I was sending him "something" :-P   (I was being inconspicuous about what I was doing, not wanting to draw attention). Shortly after that, to my ASTONISHMENT he walked right toward me without needing his walker at all -- his stride almost seemed brisk!  He started a conversation with me and we exchanged a few friendly words.  A few minutes later his son came to pick him up.  He said goodbye and said it was "good to hear from me" even though we had never met before.  The car drove away very slowly.  It was such an amazing feeling to know that I had helped someone "wake up" both physically and spiritually.  I wonder if his son was surprised to see his dad so lit up, but I have a hunch that he really was!  It is Such a blessing to be able to help people (in any way).

I also wanted to thank You for helping me wake up from a deep slumber I'd been in for the past half-decade!  You guys are truly life savers in every sense of the word. May You Always Be Blessed, Alfredo

College professor, California: "The past 24 hours have been amazing - starting with the Divine Opening last night by the fire. With Michael I felt a whirlwind of energy through the core of my body and with you a melting of my heart chakra. After that, a buzz - it was hard to sleep. Today was beautiful. I saw how grace surrounds and pervades everything in the universe - it was cool.

Medical doctor in Phillipines, nurse, skincare business owner, Catholic: "I could feel the energy when you touched the other people's heads." "Had funny, playful conversations with The Divine." "In the initiation, I really felt The Divine within me, and the lady Mary put flowers on my head! I reached the Stairway to Heaven, and saw beautiful white light with an angel welcoming me." And later.... "More money is coming to me. I spend an hour a day adoring the Divine. I'm addicted to it!"

Virginia: "The circuits are snap, crackle, poppin'." "Thank you thank you thank you." "Felt like the space shuttle ready for liftoff."  "I climbed a tree by the pond, and tossed in sticks. I'd never seen the ripple effect from above and it was very enlightening. The laughter in the afternoon was wonderful." "Yippee Yahoo. Keep it simple, girl!  Yours Truly, God"

Canada: "The spirit of my deceased husband came to me, swirled around me, and enveloped me with love and warmth during the Divine Opening from Michael. Lola's Divine Opening Hug shot love beams straight into my heart chakra, blasting it wide open." "The bulk of my neck pain is gone."

"I was taken back to the time of Christ, in a square where women were kneeling and washing the feet of men in tan colored robes. It was pretty friggin' spectacular."

New Jersey: "I feel as though I am emptying out. Lots of colors when I close my eyes." "Last night I dreamt I was love and one with all, then my heart just burst and I felt real happiness, I would say bliss."  "The Divine Opening last night gave me fire scalp! I was awakened during sleep by my hands -- they were so hot."  "The initiation was glorious and beautiful. The Divine was holding and carrying me. My mom came again, and she was reaching for me, to dance with her like we used to do when we were kids. She said to me, "I will do for you in spirit what I did not do for you in life. Trust God, for he is always with you, beckoning you to dance and love your life. I am blown away. Totally awesome."

California, electrician: "The Divine Opening put me out. I kept falling asleep, then when I'd wake I felt like I was still dreaming." "The Divine Opening Hug last night brought out more laughter in me, and the one this morning had me crying. It's great. I'm releasing emotions from all over."

Writer, small town in Texas: "When we got to the throat chakra I felt an 'otherworldly' energy. Very STRONG." "Lots of whirling energy. Tingling in crown chakra. Had a brief, sharp pain that passed quickly. Vibrated at different frequencies all day. Looking forward to the laying on of hands. People in my dreams encouraged me to go all the way with the Diving In process." "I felt my mother's hand lightly on my head." "The pure, sweet, healing, loving joy that overtook me when Lola gazed into my eyes, I cannot describe. Lola's hug turned me into Divine jelly. I was so deeply affected, I could not sleep at all for buzzing. Thank you to Lola, Honey, Milk Dud, the horses, and the land." Then, "Yay! I am so happy! I am feeling more free, and am able to let in so much more of The Divine's love and blessings for me."

Then later she wrote: Darlin' Lola: I can't even think about the 5-Day experience without tears welling.  Oh, how very, very, very blessed I am.  My spine is vibrating as I write this.  I have so much more to say, but really, just need to say "love you all deeply and the connections are so powerful."  I love my photo of our group.  I'm printing it out and will use it as an attitude/altitude shifter.  More than that, I will just look at it and feel the Divine in all of us.  You know, I haven't ever cried tears of joy before, but I am this moment, this beautiful moment as I think of all of you. Thank you.  I could go on and on and on, but you all know....

Austin: "Last night's first Divine Opening was powerful, but I found I needed to somehow tone it down because I felt I couldn't take it as powerfully as I felt it initially. I felt pretty immobile and just sat for a long time, and my hands got very hot. I'm still experiencing fear and guilt but The Divine is giving me insights about it."   "The initiation experience was amazing... I was just enveloped in tears.... joy, feeling my pain healed. When your eyes met mine I felt I was looking at The Divine. Then I heard a voice say, "You are Divine too." Then I felt movement up my spine. Then I saw God and Goddess mingled together travelling up and down my spine. That was wild." "I can feel myself letting in more blessings in my life. Unworthiness is gone."

Singer, real estate investor, Houston: "I'm emptying out. I'm excited to take this gift to women in shelters and prisons. I think this unconditional love and Grace without the dogma can be received without fear and resistance. I'm floating on a cloud." "When you and Michael stood together before you began, I felt a wave of energy stronger than the Divine Opening." "Elated. Bliss. Awe! Can't speak. Don't want to." "Had a visit from loved ones who'd passed on."

Denver: "Warmth moved up my spine, and it asked permission to go all through me. Where ever that energy went was ease and peace. I never thought I could go so deep into the silence."  "The horses that were shy before, came right to me."  "My chronic head and back pain (I used to need medication) is gone."

Consultant, Austin: "The amount of colors and strands of light everywhere were beyond words of beauty."  "I became rooted like a tree and could not move my body for a long time. I am grounded now. I was used to flying around in the cosmos a lot and yet I knew that if I was going to fully get "on the playing field" I needed to get in my body."

Excerpts from letters sent to us after the 5-Day:

"I just wanted to take a minute to express what I just couldn't on Day 5, there were no adequate words -- they seemed too small to encapsulate what I continue to feel, about you all and our time together. But at the very least I did not want to leave my appreciation, gratiutude and love left unexpressed. There is a Spanish saying my mom used all the time, "Ensenyame con quien tu andas, y yo dile quien tu eres" It basically means, show me who you walk with and I'll tell you who you are." And I am so proud and honored to have walked this adventure/journey with you all and overjoyed to be a part of our family of the heart and spirit. Lastly, "MI casa es su casa."  I believe we have created a unforgettable lifelong connection of deep love and appreciation." With great love and respect for you all, Zina, New Jersey

"I saw such magnificence in all of you. And I have a relationship with God that is intimate and supportive now, rather than that "authority figure" who didn't care about me." Sandi Abramson, Austin, TX

"Our daughter Aurielle was feeling sick - slightly dizzy, fever, weak, etc. I started to feel very light and tingly in my chest... so I figured I would give Aurielle a healing. Brooke, my wife who also took the 5-Day Intensive, had already started! I helped out, and within a few minutes the fever was broken, and Aurielle said she felt a bit better. Within 15 minutes she was up and bouncing around again, and she ran in to tell me that she no longer felt dizzy and was all better. It was amazing to feel her body cooling down as we gave the healing.  Brooke's mom had a problem with her shoulder over the weekend - she strained her rotator cuff and couldn't lift it above her head without a lot of pain. I gave her a healing. Brooke sent her a healing. She told me that it felt almost completely better, and she didn't think anything else needed to be done. Things are really getting fun, and we are really excited to be on this new level."   Lee and Brooke Northcutt, Austin, TX.

"I can't stop giving Divine Openings! I've sent healings and Divine Openings to many already, and I give about 25 a week. One relative who has had lots of problems for a long time is now already feeling very blissful and is calling me every 30 minutes to report new changes.” Erin Defieux, Retired Psychologist, Pennsylvania

"Things have been flowing nicely in Ken World... Got a new band with a new set of songs. Wrote 20 songs right after the intensive, recorded 4 within days of it. Just played our first show at a party and got a promoter out of the deal and met a man who wants to make T-shirts for us. We asked for nothing -- it came to us. I gave my wife a healing and she felt great. Wow! Thanks guys. Yay!" Ken Domaschk, Musician and chef, Austin.

"I've been steadily, easily working, and broke an old habit of waiting till deadline to do everything for the magazine. I'm ahead of schedule in spite of taking 5 days off. I am smooth and steady. Nothing throws me out of whack now." Michael Abedin, Magazine Publisher, Austin.

"I'm flying on the river of fire. I'm moving with sentience." Then later.... "Now I am buying my dream home. It is very exciting. I really love this peace. I relate it to our initiation and how beautiful the experience was, in spite of the seemingly foul weather. I remember that sky opening and sending purifying waters to bless us all in our journey along the path of enlightenment. So many serendipitious experiences since our initiation in Divine Openings." Patrick McKee, Manager, Austin
