Our Presenters

Padre Paul Funfsinn

Dana Duryea

Bishop Dana Duryea is an Ordained Spiritual Healer, a devoted Monk and serves as a Bishop within our Celebrating Life Community. He is also the Founder/Director of the Foundation of Spiritual Development in San Rafael, California. Dana is a great teacher that keeps audiences on their toes as you never know what he might do next in his presentations.  

Dana's love for science and the mystical adventures he undertakes has demonstrated to him that there is a Force, a Power and a Presence that leads us every single day by our senses, by our intuitions, and by tuning into the Universe where miracles happen. Dana's calming energy and wise observations of how energy works will change the way you see things and help participants find ways to tap into this fire that burns within always.

 Renee Plendl

Renee attended her first Healing Intensive with Ron Roth in 2003 in Arizona, she knew then her life would be forever changed. She has attended all of the retreats since that time and found that each retreat continues to be a sacred healing sanctuary for her soul.

 In the fall of 2010 Renee was professed a monk in the Spirit of Peace Monastic Community and was professed a bishop in 2023. Since her profession her relationship with the Divine has continued to grow into loving awareness - to live with an open heart.

George Lopez

George Lopez is a monk with Celebrating Life Ministries and is also blessed to be a part of the music ministry for CLM. He has been a spiritual seeker since a very young age. God has gifted him graciously with multiple creative abilities; music, sewing, cooking.

In the act of creating he finds some of his deepest and most direct connection to God. Life has taught him that in the end, connection and the path to God is what matters most.

Several contemporary mystics and masters gave special dispensation for Angelika’s music ministry to conduct powerful blessings. She has published 12 CDs and shares her music and inspirational talks worldwide at spiritual gatherings, ceremonies, conferences and healing retreats.

What others have said...

• "This was my first event. I'm so grateful I was able to attend. Thank you for this life changing weekend. There are no words on how powerful this was for me."
  
  
• "The Spring Retreat was a moving, heart-filling, life changing event this past weekend. Thank you! Thank you!"

• "I feel my personal connection with God so strongly again. I feel him flowing through me and in me and as me and as the world and everyone else. My heart is open to God again and I am in a flow of his love. When I pause and revel in His presence I find myself smiling and laughing for no reason. At the retreat I was able to sing again like my young self, ecstatically praising Him and loving him. My body was moved by Him and I wanted to cry from joy many times."
  
  
• "It was an incredible 4 days! You probably don’t remember, with everyone leaving at the time, but I shared with you that it had a profound effect on me. I have indeed been able to return to “stillness” and sit with the Divine… MUCH more easily than prior to the Retreat and also really have internalized Jesus… much closer … a true friend. Thank you, thank you!"
  
  
• "The first night of the retreat you talked about being broken in order to be rebuilt by the Holy Spirit. Both my brother and I were amongst the first to be called up to receive a blessing.  Somehow we ended up standing next to each other, both of us in a bit of a daze and neither of us knowing what to expect.  I remember holding onto his hand, my eyes closed. When you came to me, you said something like,  "Let go of his hand.  We come as individuals, not to carry our family.  Surrender, let it be."  I began sobbing and shaking, because some of my biggest fears are around separation, responsibility for my loved ones and potentially losing them as I continue on my spiritual path.  When you asked me to let go, I fell to the floor in tears and couldn't move my body for quite some time. After the retreat, upon returning home I noticed that my "normal" triggers weren't lighting me up.  I was also aware of an increase in the flow of love between myself, my children and my husband.  Today Divine Presence is with me at work.  I learned that God is good, that he is everywhere and that he truly wants what is best for each of us."
  
  
• "I experienced a feeling of Love for God and Self that was stronger than anything else/all secondary relationships, and this Love is getting stronger.  It was the first time I experienced such a palpable feeling that had such strength, knowingness and grace with it, that I know that I am fully supported in my journey of living centered in my relationship with God. I love witnessing how God works in such playful and unexpected ways, yet always hearing us as we are learning to better hear Him/Her.  I learned that just being Me is enough, and that is my service."
