Expect A Miracle...Now

program programs program

Our creative seminars are designed to facilitate personal empowerment, responsibility, accountability, and self-love by helping people embrace their own mortality and purpose on earth. Beneficial outcomes include releasing trauma stored in the mind, body, or spirit due to painful life experiences, combined with providing transformational tools to convert fears, obstacles, blocks into inspired openings. Our program participants are directed to lovingly revere their uniqueness and dignity.

“Awakening” Seminars
Our curriculum includes experiential “Awakening” workshops from a multi-dimensional perspective, including music therapy, dance and movement, and educational awareness programs connected to becoming centered and mindful.

The Awakening seminar is conducted as an intensive two and one-half day workshop that provides an opportunity for people to face their fears of death and loss so they can live their lives “on purpose” and experience the fulfillment of expressing their love and creativity daily.

Our Awakening seminars involve an eclectic participant population predicated on the following: re-igniting the life force in hospice workers and other health care providers suffering from burn out;
encouraging terminally ill individuals to reclaim their vitality during their remaining time on this planet;
helping convicted prisoners (who are also being kept chained by their internal low self concept) to heal and acknowledge that they are valuable individuals who can choose to offer something positive to the world.

Concerts for Charity
We partner with other not-for-profit organizations committed to raising awareness through the enchantment of music.

We produced New Year’s Eve benefit concerts in honor of John Denver’s 60th through 65th birthdays in order to raise money for feeding the homeless.

We were co-producers of the annual Tribute To John Denver Concerts performed by John’s band at the historic Wheeler Opera House in Aspen, Colorado, in October of 2006 and 2007. This tribute was produced and sponsored by the M.U.S.E. Foundation.

In 2008 and continuing in 2009, Karmen Dopslaff and the Expect A Miracle . . . Now, Foundation stepped forward to produce the annual "October in Aspen," John Denver Tribute concerts at the Wheeler Opera House. In addition to being the producer of these concerts, Expect A Miracle . . . Now, Foundation and Karmen, a devoted friend of the late John Denver, have presented the John Denver Memorial Award at each year’s show, to the individual who best exemplifies the music and the positive impact John Denver has had on our society.

Prison Ministry
The prison ministry has combined many of the same components as the Seminars and the Concerts and brought them into the prisons, most recently in Arizona's Department of Corrections.

Seminars, such as the Awakening workshops, as well as concerts by the John Denver Tribute concert musicians have been presented and/or sponsored by the Expect A Miracle . . . Now, Foundation.

Through an intensive 8 to10 week Awakening program, incarcerated men and women are guided to move through past difficulties, detours and set backs, embrace their inner light and let their spirit emerge shining. Our purpose is to bring healing and relief from self-defeating behavior by teaching authentic self-expression and trust that inmates are really valuable individuals who can choose to offer something positive to society.
