Video Summary
Following his brother’s retirement and the closure of their Schererville office, Eli is transitioning his 44-year in-person therapy practice to an online format starting next year. He plans to offer a variety of affordable services to a global audience for $45, including meditation, shamanic work, soul retrievals, and breath work. Despite feeling some nervousness about the technical change, Eli is excited to avoid high office rental costs and work from the comfort of his home.
Transition from In-Person to Online Practice
- Eli’s brother Tim is retiring at the end of March, which has led to the decision not to renew the lease at their old office in Cherville.
- Guided by the universe and a dream, Eli intends to begin offering online therapy and other services starting next year.
- This move represents a departure from Eli’s comfort zone, as he has been conducting in-person therapy exclusively for 44 years.
Technical Setup and Expanded Reach
- A friend named Steve is assisting with the website creation to ensure the technical setup is easy to manage.
- Moving to an online format allows Eli to reach people globally, expanding beyond the local areas of Northwest Indiana and Illinois.
- This wider accessibility is timed to coincide with the upcoming publication of a book, which is expected to be released very soon.
Pricing and Philosophy
- Eli plans to charge $45 for online sessions, maintaining the same inexpensive rate used for in-person work.
- The primary motivation is a love for helping people rather than financial gain, as Eli notes he does not work “for the Benjamins”.
- While Tim is retiring, there is a possibility he may eventually offer online services for addicts.
Specific Online Services Offered
- Planned group sessions include evening Peniel Meditation and breath work, the latter being offered to provide better support for clients.
- Individual services will include shamanic work, soul retrievals, and deep possessions, which Eli has previously done on the phone but never online.
- Eli also plans to conduct divination journeys to help clients resolve dilemmas, which can be recorded to later discuss symbolism and metaphors.
Personal Outlook and Work Environment
- Eli expresses a mix of nervousness and excitement about this new venture, acknowledging it is time to make this change.
- Due to ridiculous rental prices for offices, Eli has decided to work from his condo, which allows for the comfort of working in pajamas.
- Although the format is different, Eli believes that a strong sense of presence can still be established with clients virtually.

Hola! Happy Saturday! How are you kids? Good. Guess what? Some of you may know, some of you may not. My brother Tim is retiring at the end of March, so we’re not going to be renewing our lease at our old office in Schererville at the end of March. So, the universe has been guiding me and I had a dream about this. Starting next year, I’m going to be doing online therapy and other services. And I’ve never thought of doing this before. I’ve been doing in-person therapy for 44 years, starting next year. But guess what? I’m getting out of my comfort zone. My dear friend Steve, that set up our website and everything, he’s going to help set it all up. So, all I have to do is push a couple buttons, hopefully, and there you are. What’s exciting me besides people that are out of this area where I live, Northwest Indiana, Illinois, the local suburbs, people throughout the world can contact Eli, because once the book gets published, and it’s still being published, I’m hearing it’s coming any day now, but we’ll see. Other people can reach out. So, I could be doing all this amazing work that I help people do online and I’m going to charge $45. The same thing I’ve been doing in-person. So, it’s still pretty inexpensive. I tell people I know what I’m charging, but I don’t work for the Benjamins like a lot of therapists do. We, Tim and I just love helping people. And who knows, once this gets going, maybe Tim will start doing some online stuff for the addicts he likes to work with. But what I’m thinking now, I can do the Peniel Meditation in a group online. We can all do it together in the evening probably. I can do a lot of shamanic work online. I can do your soul retrievals. I can do divination journeys, which is like when you’ve got a dilemma or a question, you’re looking for clarification. I will journey on your behalf with you sitting there with me. You can record it and then we can talk about the symbolism and the metaphors of the journey. And I can do deep possessions. Holy cow. I’ve done those on the phone, but I’ve never done them online. I can also do breath work with people online. Because what I’m finding with the breath work is a lot of people come and they do it live with me and they never do it a second time. They need the support. Well, guess what? We can do it virtually. So get excited, folks. I’m excited. I’m nervous at the same time, but I know it’s time to do this. I’ve been looking for rental offices and the prices are ridiculous and that. And so I live here in this beautiful condo. Why not just do it here? And I can sit in my PJs and talk to you guys. All right. I just want to give you the update. There’s lots of things we can do online. I’ve been talking to different people. It’s a little weird because you won’t be sitting with me, but just as you’re watching this video, doesn’t it feel like I’m present? And if you were there, you’d be present for me. All right. Enjoy your Saturday. Get ready for Christmas. It’s coming or Hanukkah. Happy Hanukkah for those of you on the Jewish side. And we’ll talk real soon. God bless you guys. Bye bye.
