FAQ

Q: Why are your events experiential?

A: Good question. Adults learn best by experiencing truth. Since we forget 90% of what
happens to us in life we need often experiential exercises to help us reconnect with
our buried past.

Q: Are your events biblically based?

A: YES! Everything we do and teach is founded on the Bible. We will never do anything
that violates biblical standards.

Q: So, does that mean only Christians can attend?

A: No, since only God can heal, a person should be open to believing in God. Jesus
healed nonbelievers, so do we. All our events are "seeker friendly."

Q: What things change through healing?

A: While we've seen physical healings of tumors, cancer and other physiological
ailments, we focus on healing emotional pain. However, the body and soul are
intricately related. At our retreats people have resolved issues related to alcohol and
drug abuse, eating disorders, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety attacks,
agoraphobia, multiple personalities, ritual abuse, grief, divorce recovery, family and
relationship issues, and just about any neuroses you can name. Healing affects
everything.

Q: What methods do you use?

A: For 20 years I have pioneered and refined a remarkably effective technique I call the
STEP method: Spiritual Therapy for Emotional Pain. In small groups, we teach people
to use their spiritual gifts and intuition through the Spirit to heal emotional pain. The
pain can come from a broken heart, loss of a loved one or job, rejection, stress,
anxiety, trauma, PTSD, or any variety of suffering.

Q: What do you mean by, "Don't treat the symptoms, heal the pain?"

A: Most therapy merely treats symptoms, usually with prescription drugs. Underneath
all dis-ease is unhealed pain. When we uncover core primal pains and resolve them,
symptoms (depression, weight issues, rage, etc.) often simply dissolve.

Q: What if someone is afraid to come to a retreat?

A: I was afraid of every retreat I attended. I feared nothing would happen or too much
would happen. I was scared it would hurt or I would feel nothing; afraid I'd be
embarrassed or just come away empty and worse off. All my fears were unfounded.
The long term affect of not dealing with issues causes far more pain than facing them.
Every retreat I attended helped me, most dramatically. I shudder to think where I would
be had I not done the healing work I have. Nothing has improved my life more, nor paid
higher dividends, in all ways. That's what motivated me to offer events for others.

Q: I don't think I can afford this now.

A: We all feel that way. We spend money on things, vacations and Christmas presents
but neglect our very soul. The best investments I have ever made have been those that
helped my own growth, development and healing. Nothing else has improved my
quality of life more. Similar events can cost thousands of dollars. We keep our costs
low, but if you are truly needy we will offer you a partial scholarship. We don't want
anyone to miss out because of money.

Q: How can I cosponsor events?

A: Glad you asked that. I will now go anywhere in the world to do an event. We can offer
retreats for as few as 10 people, seminars for 25 or more. If you help arrange an event,
you can attend for free. You may even be able to receive a financial bonus. Write us at
SunriseRetreats@aol.com for more info. Tell us about your group and what you hope
to accomplish.

Q: How can I learn more about your events?

A: We have articles describing our retreats and seminars in detail. Email us at
SunriseRetreats@aol.com for a copy of them. Specify which event you want to know
about.

Q: I see you have E books for sale. Can I get your books in print?

A: We soon hope to make them available in print. Sign up for our free newsletter and
you will receive updates on all our events and publications.
