Who is Magick?
"Magick is a Shaman's Shaman."
~Christopher R.
For well over a decade, Greg "Magick" Bernstein has studied with teachers, elders, Kahuna, Shaman and Western Masters. Magick’s unique approach is to create a space in which connection to the spirit world and your higher self is exponentially amplified.
Magick helps blur the line between the physical and spiritual. He does this partially with his story telling style with his “magical” and seemingly miraculous experiences and results in the everyday world of creating wealth, health, career, relationships and deep connection with spirit and inner guidance. Most come to this retreat with lifelong challenges (masking as opportunities) such as knowing and living who they really are, finding their purpose, instant manifestation, finding a soul mate, healing dis-ease, self empowerment, full authentic self expression, creating wealth (sometimes massive wealth), experiencing their divinity or oneness and living a guided life. These kinds of results are the norm and common among participants. Please go to our Testimonials page to see short videos of course participants sharing their experiences and breakthroughs.
How "Magick" got his name:
In some shamanic traditions names were quite important. A person was given a name that fit who they were or who they were becoming. They would keep that name until such time as they grew into their next name. A person might have several names over a lifetime.
"Magick" was named Greg Bernstein by his parents upon birth and was called by that name until an unexpected surprise in 2006. It was then that he was on a pilgrimage, with two spiritual elders and his shaman partner at the time, to one of the more sacred places on Kauai. During this powerful journey, one of the group received the name from spirit and shared it with Greg. Although Greg was not seeking a name at the time, when the name was revealed to him, he immediately knew it was the Truth. There was no thought, no hesitation, no analysis; instantly he knew deep inside that it was right. The name Magick felt as natural and a part of him as any other part of his body and spirit. He has been going by Magick ever since.
Since learning his new name, Magick learned that the spelling of the name is significant. It's from ancient times when magick was about bringing illumination to darkness, bringing the light of understanding to the invisible shamanic worlds. Its about revealing and seeing, rather than tricks and the hidden (magic). That is what Magick is here for, to facilitate a greater understanding and embodiment of that which was once hidden and mystical.
TRANSFORMATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Magick has a unique background of both massive success as an entrepreneur and as a transformational seminar leader. In the material world, Magick is an entrepreneur, having founded several companies over the last 12 years including two advertising companies. Under his tenure at his last venture, Global Outdoor Services, Inc. (www.billboards.com), the company had huge Fortune 500 clients, enjoyed growth rates as high as 700% per year, did business in the US and Europe, and opened offices in Dallas, NY and Miami. He sold the company in 2005. At the same time he was running his company, most other time was dedicated to spiritual and inner personal development (transformational) pursuits.
In the spiritual/transformational world, he been leading transformational communication seminars for 15 years, including in the past teaching at a mystery meditation school, NLP, Silva, Hypnosis, Huna and Inner Guidance courses. He also studied extenseively, one on one, directly with a number of shamans and kahunas.
Because of his dual-natured background, his courses have varied in their focus with audiences ranging from the highly spiritual to highly materially successful and everyone in between. Part of Magick’s work is to bridge the gap between the spiritual and material worlds, so we can have it all.
