Your Purpose

Like a dog chasing its tail…

The vast majority of those who come to sessions do so in search of their Grand Purpose or Mission in life. Dedicated seekers have chased this elusive brass ring for 20, 30 even 40 years and still show up at Panache’s sessions frustrated, dejected and worn out. After searching out teachers and gurus; exhaustive immersion in lectures, seminars and workshops; delving into books and texts; and deepening spiritual and religious practices; the ‘ah ha’ moment of recognition of one’s Purpose still eludes capture.

Your Purpose is really not complicated at all. It is not tied to doing - but simply in being.  The foundation of who you are and why you’re here is simply to BE your
SELF.

Your Purpose is to fully participate in every moment of each day. This means when you are in the shower - STOP and experience the drops of water as they run down
your body.

Don’t think about what you need to be doing after you jump out and begin your day.

When you are outdoors hearing the birds sing, STOP and soak up the beauty of nature’s own symphony. When you are on top of the world achieving success (by whatever measure you consider success) - STOP and be with the confidence, joy, and elation that it brings. When success disappears, STOP and be with the emotions that accompany these challenges - fear, sadness, anxiety or anger. When you are grief stricken with the loss of a loved one - STOP and let the emotions rise up within you, and be with the rage, grief or tears until they subside on their own. Even in your darkest moments, breath into the experience and know that nothing lasts forever. Every situation, each circumstance and every encounter shows up to support the awakening of your consciousness.

When you finally begin to have a profound relationship with life THE WAY IT IS freedom arises from within. Acceptance of life THE WAY IT IS brings about liberation.
Resistance brings only pain and suffering. It’s the could have, would have, should have conversation that invites with open arms pain, misery, sadness and suffering.

Life flows like a river, it’s final destination merging with the ocean. Your PURPOSE is happening in every moment. Simply enjoy the ride down the river of life knowing that your journey’s final destination is your merging with the Divine.

Panache's 2nd Global Gathering
It’s Time to Bloom in Minneapolis, Minnesota

“You are Called to Heal…  You are Drawn to Grow…  You are Destined to Blossom.”

Join soul family from across the country for a weekend of celebration, appreciation and rejuvenation as we come together to share in God’s love at Panache’s 2nd Global Gathering in Chaska, Minnesota on June 26, 27 and 28. The northern and central areas of the United States will be anchored during the second leg of Panache’s guided Gatherings in 2009. “When our collective light is harnessed, the power and presence is felt throughout all creation, explains Panache. “Everything in creation rejoices and celebrates our loving service.”

Each of you has a role to play in this awakening. The Divine needs your unique contribution. Just like a flower in nature, no part is insignificant. Without nourishment from the soil and rain for the roots ... without the leaves and their system of photosynthesis… without the supporting structure of the stem and its growth nutrients… without the sunshine and the warmth of the air, and without the blessing of the bees, no plant in nature could exist. No one role is more important - each supports the other - and all are necessary. The final outcome is that this unique flower blossoms into its full radiance and glory - and so will our New Earth.

Nature is always in harmony. Panache believes the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum provides a sacred setting for us to gather. Surrounded by nature, the collective cannot help but be gently moved into a natural state of peace, harmony and infinite transformation. Named one of the Top 10 gardens in America by USA Today, the Arboretum is a Twin Cities natural treasure. It features 1,137 breathtaking acres encompassing 32 magnificent specialty gardens, extensive plant collections, awe-inspiring natural areas, and an intriguing, newly-created Maze Garden. The Arboretum celebrates nature’s glory all year round, yet Minnesota’s spring and summer are a special celebration for the senses as the gardens blossom in dramatic color and shape.

Weekend programming is only $250. Please reserve early. Click on the photos above for additional information, activities, room blocks at hotels near the Arboretum and registration. If you have any questions, please call JC at 239 649-7373.

From Friday evening through Sunday the weekend program is constructed to focus first on each individual and then to create an opening whereby the collective become vehicles for the Divine. In encouraging people to attend, Panache explains, “When we love and support ourselves we enhance our receptivity as Divine vehicles and shift our nation and planet further into the reality of oneness. I invite you to listen to your heart and join alongside me in Minnesota as we fulfill our promise to be of service when needed the most.”

Reflections on Our 1st Global Gathering
All You Need is Love

There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known. Nothing you can see that isn’t shown. Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be. It’s easy. - The Beatles

We gathered to share our love, wisdom and light at our 1st Global Gathering just three short months ago. We embraced the power to accept that which we could not… and to be with life just the way it is. The Divine is behind all experiences – every thought, every word, every deed.

We are… One Love, One Heart, One Spirit and One Energy.

Memories from our First Global Gathering
The Energy

Thank you to all who shared breathtaking images from our Global Gathering in Black Mountain, North Carolina.

Some photos showed orbs dancing above us, while others featured white energy circling above our early morning blessing circle. Trish G. forwarded us this jaw-dropping image of Panache as he buried the Christ Energy-infused Ruby in honor of Jim Gore and the Ascension of the entire east Coat of the United States. 

We’ve captured the feeling of our Gathering on a new video, “All You Need is Love,” just released on our website. We hope you are inspired to join us in Minneapolis. The world is awaiting our service.

This Little Light of Mine

When Jan and I were in Chicago in May, I shared a heartwarming, true story about the most unlikely of friends with two classes of four- and five-year-old enthusiastic youngsters at Terrace Elementary School. It is an amazing tale about finding purpose in the most implausible of circumstances. Polar opposites let their light shine for one another creating a bond that has made them two of the most visited animals in the world. Owen is an abandoned, 600 pound baby hippopotamus and Mzee is a 130-year-old giant tortoise.
   
The children were mesmerized as they listened to Owen’s tale of hardship as a series of bad storms and floods in his African homeland left him stranded at sea, separated from his Mother and pod. The children gasped in shock as they imagined what it would take for the brave local villagers to capture and move an angry, slippery and dangerous baby hippo to safety. 

Fifty miles away, a safe and peaceful animal sanctuary welcomed Owen. The animal doctors and care-takers prepared an area that had a pond and muddy areas - two loves of hippos. Other animals shared this space including a giant, solitary and very grumpy tortoise named Mzee. Owen arrived weak and exhausted and many worried whether he would survive. The hippo immediately ran and hid behind Mzee just like a baby would hide behind its Mama for protection. This made the tortoise very unhappy. He hissed and slowly moved away over and over again. Owen just kept following. The next morning the workers found Owen and Mzee snuggled close together. Owen refused food. Then he slowly began to eat at Mzee’s side. It was as if Mzee was teaching him how to survive. Over time the two became inseparable. They swim together, eat together, drink together, and sleep together. They even rub noses.
 
In the wild these two would be enemies. And even though both could injure each other - they are gentle. Each could not be more different from the other - Owen is a mammal and Mzee is a reptile. Science can’t explain why they are inseparable - but the heart knows best. They found purpose in one another.

With the children tucked around my feet, we talked about how these two animals let their “light shine” for one another. When I explained that we all have a light within us and asked them where they kept their light, all hands went up. A young boy jumped up and said he kept it in his heart.

“How do you share your light?” They chorused together, “by loving people.” Then the classroom dissolved into spontaneous hugs. 

Sometimes the greatest lessons come from the most unlikely of sources.

Please take a moment and visit here for a bit of inspiration from Bruce Springsteen and The Seeger Sessions Band who performed this favorite in Torino, Italy on the 2nd October 2006.

May you be inspired to share your light with others.

Meet Dana Knapp

The gift of Divine love shared through Panache in sessions is so strong that it sweeps participants right off their feet causing them to fall backwards onto the floor. Panache explains that the purity and intensity of God’s love makes us weak at the knees.

Dana Knapp is the strong, six foot tall, steadfast gentleman who devotedly offers his service by lovingly catching rooms-full of participants, gently cushioning their decent to the floor. His quiet, devout, apostle-like appearance engenders trust from all who come into his presence.

“I strive to live an authentic life,” said Dana. “I was on a life-long path searching for ways to unravel energies and remove them from within me. I had prayed for something to reveal itself.” And then he encountered Panache.   
 
He still remembers the first time he heard Panache on his public radio interview. As Dana listened he began having strong physical reactions. He felt energies jumping up and down and moving around in his stomach. Surprised by his body’s strong reaction he contacted Panache immediately. Panache encouraged Dana to travel from Jacksonville to a session in Punta Gorda to experience the gift of awakening. That first session Dana ‘received’ as a participant - but from the next one on Panache was drawn to call on Dana’s service.

“It is rare to encounter a being who, in the presence of this powerful Divine force, is able to remain present and serve with an open heart,” says Panache of Dana. “He is such a light and his love is experienced by all who meet him.” 

Dana recalls that in early sessions he was frightened of dropping people. Today, remaining in alert stillness helps him anticipate just how people are ‘going down’. Some topple over like trees while others back-step, fighting the process to remain upright. “The straight droppers are the hardest to catch,” he’s learned. After over one hundred sessions, Dana is now extremely open and present to twitches and jerks that alert him to when and how quickly someone’s knees are going to give out. “At the end of each session I feel an expansiveness… the total absence of self,” he says. “I feel so open and loving and honored to be a part of each person’s Divine process.”
 
Dana lives his spirituality. He commits time every day to going inward and unraveling energetic content. Practices he finds helpful include self inquiry, a process where he drops into silence using life as a teacher.  He does meditative reading, reading from a place of stillness - not for the purpose of knowledge. He also sits with his palms open and just receives. Each day he listens to Panache’s CDs.  When he is not working or in practice, his favorite thing to do is to spend time with his girlfriend Rose and his dog, Oswald, a 13-year-old Italian Greyhound and Jack Russell mix. “Being in nature and being connected is what brings me so much peace,” says Dana.

“Panache is a father, an older brother, a friend and a teacher all in one. I feel a profound sense of love and purpose walking alongside him,” offers Dana. “If this was preordained, I believe that I am the recipient of great luck. If it is destiny, it is the highest destiny. This is exactly what my soul has been seeking.”

Dear Panache:
Could I be Doing More?

Q: My heart sings as I have attended a couple of your sessions. I was wondering, do I just need to be patient as my Self unfolds? I do not want to judge, but nothing altering seems to be happening. Am I being impatient or of little faith? What is preventing me from experiencing more? I feel I am doing my part in my daily spiritual practices. I understand there is always room for more commitment and devotion. Is this what is lacking in my practice? I often wonder if the key is doing more or if I need to deepen what I already practice? - Liliana D.

A: All you can do is be patient with yourself. Enjoy the process and remain present throughout each moment of your awakening. The Divine is not judging you - so why are you? All the Divine does is love and accept you. Give yourself the same gift of love and acceptance and allow the questions to dissolve in stillness. The answers will arise from within. Do spiritual practices simply for the love of doing them. Your relationship with the Divine is not something that you earn through deep practice or long hours of prayer.

Just as coming to see me happened when it was meant to, everything else will unfold in its own time. The only thing left is to enjoy your life and celebrate every moment knowing that realization is only a breath away. - Panache

What I Saw

While Panache was conducting his presentation in Jacksonville:

I saw a rainbow aura begin to pop out from his head as if it was having a bit of a problem keeping up with him. Then it settled around his head and undulated as he continued talking. When he approached each of the attendees and touched them in various places on their bodies, his aura changed to pure white. When he bent forward to get closer to his subject, his aura enveloped each of them so that there was one continuous aura over his head and theirs. At one time a larger white ball emerged from Panache and floated from the middle portion of his body outward to float in the room itself. I scanned each audience member after their connection with Panache and saw a white aura surrounding each of them as they sat and continued to listen to him.

It was wonderful meeting Panache. His energy is resounding… thank you so much for your time and message. - Meade C., Attorney
