Ricardo Pereira, a mentor and artist, spent two years learning about himself through deep mentorship with Dov Baron, but never acted on what he learned. He ignored his own clarity about his gifts and purpose, letting old patterns win. He's seen the same thing trigger dark nights in others: knowing what you need to do and not doing it.

Hello, my name is Ricardo Pereira. I'm a personal development and relationships mentor. I'm also an artist, musician, and a professional clown, and I assist others who are going through a dark night of the soul in creating a new chapter in their lives, more connected to their own personal power, dreams, purpose than ever before. And today I will be talking to you, sharing about what basically got me into my dark night of the soul that I also see and have witnessed kind of triggering other people's dark night of the soul. And that was for me not honoring my path, not honoring my gifts, not honoring the clarity that I had gotten about my own life purpose and about what I had to bring into the world. So basically, after a 2-year immersed experience in Vancouver, Canada, with someone who at that time became my mentor called Dov Baron, I had just expanded at an experiential level, not at a theoretical level, a big part of my understanding about the human psyche, the conscious and unconscious mind, about healthy relationships, about my own position in the world connected to my life purpose, a connection with what I and many others call the authentic self. And what happened to me was I got that experience, I got that taste very, very consistently in a very clear way, but I did not go out of my own way of some of my own conditioning into risking, into taking the steps into basically experimenting and putting into action what I had learned and experienced about myself during those 2 years. And I have observed that in others who I have been in contact with that are going through a dark night of the soul similarly to what I went through for almost a whole decade. So I leave you with this question. How may it have been for you that you got into a dark night of the soul because of not really honoring some clarity that you may have had about your own gifts, about your own talents, about your own curiosity, about your own connection to yourself, God, the universe, Curious George, whatever you may want to call it. So I leave you with that question and look forward to keep serving you.
