What Happens When Justin Timberlake & 25,000 Fans Sing Happy Birthday To a Boy With Autism?

August 14, 2014

Hey there! Jen Pastiloff here, I’m the founder of The Manifest-Station. Marika, the author of this piece, won a spot at my Manifestation Retreat in Ojai last summer based on her writing! It is such an honor to publish her here again. I am excited to announce that Good Morning America just contacted me after they saw this story on my site! And People Magazine And MTV and The Today Show and my goodness, it keeps on coming…It was an honor when I was on Good Morning America and was able to raise awareness for Prader Willi Syndrome (which my nephew Blaise has, as well as autism.) I am thrilled to see what this will all do for autism awareness. Go Julian! Thanks to Justin Timberlake for being such a star! A class act! If you are using this article please make sure you credit/link The Manifest-Station.

People Magazine says: Jennifer is changing women's lives through her empowerment workshops. Cheryl Strayed says: Jennifer Pastiloff is a conduit of awakenings. Lidia Yuknavitch says: Dear Jen, From you I have learned to alchemize fear with love, to redistribute love through compassion, to enter a room with others. Jen leads her signature Manifestation Workshop: On Being Human all over the world & online. Her memoir will be published by Dutton Books in 2019. Preorders available now at JenniferPastiloff.com Her workshops are a unique blend of writing and some yoga. She has developed a massive following based on her writing & workshops. A London workshop attendee says, "A space to show up and be human. A fusion of yoga and singing and writing and sharing, with laughter and tears mixed in! To be held and encouraged so beautifully by Jen, who won't flinch....but stay connected to us all through the journey. She creates a strong container, sits on the edges of our yoga mats listening to the stories that weave us together as human beings. She gives us the gift of attention, space and time. It's a space for connecting, for intimacy...you leave in a different place from where you arrive...It's a chance to show up, to own our fears and our dreams, our deep yearnings and the things we'd love to manifest in our lives. A chance to be wholeheartedly present and come back home a little more to ourselves." Jen also leads retreats with Emily Rapp & Lidia Yuknavitch. She is also the guest speaker at Canyon Ranch three times a year. All info is at the top under Retreats/Workshops.

1 day ago by jenpastiloff When life gives you lemons..... Mornings in bed. I don’t sleep with my hearing aids in & I can’t hear without them these days. Charlie wakes me. I don’t know what he’s saying. Mommy doesn’t have her hearing aids in, I say. He pulls on me. Tries to communicate in other ways. The hearing aids are on the bedside table & I don’t feel like moving yet to put them in. But I have no idea what little man is saying. My husband is away but when he’s here I ask him. Rob, what’s he saying? Underwater muffled speak, socks

7 hours ago by jenpastiloff NO BIG DEAL BUT 2x Olympiad & 3 TIMES GOLD MEDALIST @tianna .bartoletta came to my Tampa workshop at @bellapranayoga Last week. I love her. @tianna .bartoletta just wrote this: “I was in Tampa for divorce court, and no matter how things fall it never feels good to have to sit in hearings. For this reason I decided that I would schedule yoga classes for after each hearing. It was at the studio that I had chosen (simply because of it's proximity to my attorney's office). Bella Prana was advertising a workshop called "On Being Human" and I remember thinking to myself
2 days ago by jenpastiloff I can think of no greater honor right now than sharing the stage with one of my dearest friends for the launch of her book. @lizarch you are a miracle! Your book #thecouragetorise is a bible, a handbook, a survival guide, a toolbox, a roadmap & a treasure. Swipe left for some clips of Liz and I in conversation in Los Angeles last night and please get her book & follow her! Also- what a treat that they had my book up there too. I was so moved. It really was a gorgeous and packed event. SUPPORT YOUR FRIENDS. It’s
2 days ago by jenpastiloff I look so much like my daddy’s side of the family. obvi where i get my height. Just found out my grandpa Jacob changed our last name when he came from Russia. It used to be Petestoff. Sounds so close to “pissed off” so I’m glad I grew up with my the mouthful Pastiloff instead. Pastiloff forever! Married 9 years and I’ll forever be a P. I never got to meet my Grandpop Jacob (jack he was called but his real name was Judko.) but he gave me and my dad rad eyebrows. My Bubbe- I miss her every day.
