Dr. Jerry Burgener's life has been as interesting as it has been varied. He has a Ph.D. in Human Learning and has worked in Schools, Mental Health Organizations, and as a Forensic Psychologist for the Department of Corrections. Besides providing treatment, he has trained other people in how to best help those in need. His techniques and approaches have been presented in print by news media and on national television.

Dr. Jerry will say his life experiences are equally important, bringing him to this point in time. He has skydived more than 1400 times, has 3,000 hours of flying airplanes and helicopters, scuba dives, repels, and is an avid motorcycle rider. Dr. Jerry trains horses, riding them in the Midwest, as well as the desert Southwest.

Synopsis: “When will I find the love of my life?” or, “Why do I have so much trouble with my relationships?” These are two of the most frequently asked questions. Add to it, “What is the purpose of my life?” and you have the struggles most people face sometime in their life. Fortunately, we can learn from other person's journeys.

Dr. Jerry wrote a fictionalized account of his own personal struggles with balancing his spiritual journey and what seemed like a need for a relationship. "Desert Journey" chronicled his first step on the path of understanding and self-discovery.

While riding in the mountains of the desert Southwest, Dr. Jerry met one of his Spirit Guides, who helped him explore the life events that led him to that point of meeting one of his teachers. His Guide used past life regression to help him realize the continuum of experiences he had shared through out time with many of the people currently in his life.

Life lessons were often not easy, but necessary if the struggles of that life were to have a purpose. Dr. Jerry learned he could be happy, even when faced with difficulty, by changing how he looked at life and staying in the moment.
