Human origins and the Raising of Consciousness - Michael Tellinger

Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:00:00 -0800

"Our Human Origins and their Connection to our rise in Consciousness"

Scientist, explorer and author of three internationally acclaimed books, Michael Tellinger is on tour of the USA from May 6 to July 11 2011, presenting his latest research into the origins of humankind. Tellinger has turned all of history on its head and delivers astonishing evidence that the first advanced civilization on Earth existed in southern Africa.

Scholars have told us that the first civilization on Earth emerged in a land called Sumer some 6000 years ago. The persistent research by South Africans Michael Tellinger, Johan Heine and a team of leading scientists, over an extend seven-year period, has resulted in astonishing new archaeological and scientific discoveries. It shows that the Sumerians and even the Egyptians inherited most their knowledge from an earlier advanced civilization that lived at the southern tip of Africa more than 200,000 years ago� mining gold.

These were also the people who carved the first Horus bird, the first Sphinx, built the first pyramids and built an accurate stone calendar right in the heart of it all. They call it Adam�s Calendar. It is the flagship among millions of circular stone ruins, ancient roads, agricultural terraces and thousands of ancient mines, left behind by a vanished civilization with a population of many millions, which they now call the FIRST PEOPLE.

�It took some time for us to realize the real significance of these discoveries� said Tellinger. �Anyone involved in researching ancient human history would simply not want to believe what we are finding, and it is coming at us thick and fast.�

Tellinger says that the real mystery is why it has been overlooked for so long, when it is actually so obvious. �But it took a scientific approach to see the real activity of the ancients and the belief that nothing of significance has ever come out of southern Africa has now been shattered. The sheer size of the settlements and the age of the structures is way beyond the wildest dreams of most scholars.�
These were the ancestors of all humans today, with an advanced knowledge of energy fields through planet Earth and harnessing sound frequency as an energy source. These discoveries strongly support the principle of the �rise and fall� of civilizations and it seems that Nikola Tesla simply rediscovered the free energy principles applied by the FIRST PEOPLE.

They carved detailed images into the hardest rock, worshiped the sun, and are the first to carve an image of the Egyptian Ankh � key of life and universal knowledge, 200,000 years before the Egyptians came to light. Tellinger will be presenting this groundbreaking new evidence in 25 venues around the USA, which is contained in his latest book Temples Of The African Gods. It graphically exposes these discoveries and will undoubtedly be the catalyst for rewriting our ancient human history. �These ruins are the physical evidence that so many scholars have been looking for and which is continuously referred to in the ancient Sumerian tablets.�

The new release is a continuation of Tellinger�s previous books Slave Species of god and Adam�s Calendar, which have become favourites with readers in over 20 countries.

"The Theory of the Mind"

By understanding how the mind works you open your eyes to a new way of thinking to create the life you truly want. You learn how to easily make decisions with clarity and live with truth and understanding. By changing perspective, you learn how to manage your emotions and relationships. You learn how to talk to yourself to create the messages you need to hear.

Cynthia Miler, Clinical Hypnotherapist

When Cynthia returned to college studies while raising 2 small children, she enrolled in a course that helped her take control of her life. She learned how to access a deep level of her mind and focus her efforts more effectively that changed her perspective to a more positive outlook. Throughout the past 25 years, her interest in this new way of life brought her to the practice of Hypnotherapy. She believes that we have the power in our minds to make changes and create a life beyond our expectations, however most people don't know how to make this happen.

As a Clinical Hypnotherapist in the Vancouver area she helps others empower themselves to remove emotional blocks that allow them to move forward and live the life they desire. She is an active member of the International Medical Dental Hypnotherapy Association and occasionally combines Reiki with hypnosis based healing.

Stress, insomnia, anxiety, depression, good health, procrastination, motivation, communication, focus, concentration & creativity are the most common challenges faced today and hypnotherapy can help to get to the root cause of the blocks that prevent a prosperous life.

The unique Weight Management Program Cynthia uses helps with portion control and changes her clients' relationship with food. She has created a library of mp3 recordings that provide daily access to relaxing and inspiring messages that go straight to the subconscious mind.

Cynthia hosts weekly events at the Labyrinth Room in the West End where where her topics include various aspects of hypnosis, chakra energy healing and much more. She is available for speaking engagements on the topic of hypnosis and it's benefits.

Somatic Archaeology - Ruby Gibson

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:00:00 -0800

Ruby Gibson's passion for the past 30 years has been to develop an effective somatic system for transgenerational reconciliation. She is the developer and teacher of Somatic Archaeology and Generational Brainspotting and travels internationally sharing her work.

A woman of mixed descent, Ruby carries lineage from both Mediterranean and Native American cultures allowing her to be a bridge between worlds.With a Master's degree in Theology and Transformational Psychology, Ruby is currently a doctoral candidate researching the multicultural efficacy and benefits of intergenerational healing.

A certified somatic therapist, spiritual counselor and licensed massage therapist, Ruby has a thriving private practice based on client empowerment designed to end repetitive cycles. Ruby enjoys teaching people about honoring their bodies, adapting natural healing systems, expressing creative capacity, and developing self-love and authenticity.

Residing in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, she is an earth-centered ceremonialist, aromatherapist, poet, and the author of two books most recently My Body, My Earth, The Practice of Somatic Archaeology (2008).

The mother of three healthy children, Ruby's impetus is to lighten the load for the next seven generations.She believes that we can translate historical trauma into present day psychological/spiritual advantage. Our buried memories and family/cultural legacies can be transformed to demonstrate self-protection and leadership. These are activities of profound responsibility requiring us to proceed with consciousness and ethical reflection.

The Impetus for Somatic Archaeology and Transgenerational Reconciliation:

Remembering Who We Are and Where We Belong

Generations of repetitive suffering from violence, persecution, ethnocide and war establish historical amnesia which manifests as chronic or delayed stress syndromes and survivalist behaviors. Generational amnesia propagates the inability to return to the roots or genesis of our sense of belonging. This loss of identity appeared to be a central organizing factor in many familial and cultural systems. Sequential traumatization, pathogenesis from the preceding seven generations, and mechanisms of defense that have both personal and spiritual dimensions resulted in an entire society recycling past suffering by living incongruous ways of life. From this point of view, the most malignant component of the transmission of intergenerational trauma is the raw, un-integrated somatic affect and emotional imprinting that has never been processed in the parents and great-great-grandparents generations and, consequently, becomes internalized in the children in another place and time. - multiple sources, by Ruby Gibson, including text from Ya'el Danieli, International Handbook of Multicultural Legacies of Trauma

The Theory of Somatic Archaeology:
I hypothesize that the degradation of oral traditions and spiritual values due to countless disruptions in generational continuity create a state of historical amnesia, which prohibits the resolution of trauma in both a neurobiological and cosmological framework. Compulsory forgetting disconnects us from our spiritual and cultural lineage, evoking spiritual shame and cultural disorientation.

Therefore, I propose that generational remembering through a technique I developed termed Somatic Archaeology can provide the initiative to reconnect neurologically and spiritually with suppressed memories. Acknowledgment, activation and reconciliation of the information contained in these memories bring forth both the emotional charge of traumatic historical experience, and simultaneously releases the persistent anxiety neurologically associated with forced repression.

Activation of memory is important to releasing the stress of amnesia. What we excavate, we must consciously remember, and what stays buried we consciously forget. This dualistic bind freezes our neurobiology into apathetic responses which prohibits the ability to fully solve the dilemma, hence manifesting the symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Remembering requires the expression of emotions and the down regulation of the amygdala. The temporary distress associated with remembering is necessary for neurological reorganization which leads, step by step, to emotional empowerment, psychological integration, kincentric attunement and spiritual reclamation of our unique cosmology. - Ruby Gibson, ThM

The GuruGanesha Band

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 18:00:00 -0800

GuruGanesha Singh is one of those rare individuals who combine the heart and soul of an artist with the clear, quick mind of a businessman and the easygoing warmth of a born raconteur. By the time he started Spirit Voyage Records in 1999 he had already made a substantial financial success as founder and CEO of Sandler Training Institute of Virginia, a sales training school for the high-tech industry. For many people, that would suffice as a life�s achievement, but for GuruGanesha it was just the prelude to a stellar musical career as a producer, guitarist, singer, songwriter and all-around prime mover in the burgeoning world devotional music genre. His latest project, the GuruGanesha Band, takes his unique vision into bold new aural dimensions.
   �It�s something new, in that it�s bringing a guitar band sound into world devotional arena,� says GuruGanesha. �The sound of guitar bands is something that many people grew up with, and something that unites several generations. But here we�re using it in service of a higher purpose. I�m 60 years old now and I�ve dedicated the past ten years of my life to sending healing sound currents out to the world. And the GuruGanesh Band is a project that�s been in my heart for all of those ten years. Right now seems the perfect time to do it.�
   Although GuruGanesha has been playing music professionally since the late �60s, when he performed with the rock band Cat�s Cradle, his emergence on the world devotional stage took place in the first year of the 21st Century. He released the album A Game of Chants with the Grammy-winning singer Seal and began to record as part of the Peace Family, a group featuring the angelic voice of Snatam Kaur. Becoming Snatam�s manager as well as her guitarist and co-vocalist in 2002, GuruGanesha guided her through a series of much-loved and top selling releases on the Spirit Voyage label, including Prem, Grace, Anand and Liberation�s Door. In a similar way, GuruGanesha has fostered the careers of the devotional duo Mirabai Ceiba, producer Thomas Barquee, singer Tina Malia and others.
   GuruGanesha�s shimmering, evocative acoustic guitar melodies and supple chordal rhythms played an integral role in creating Snatam�s signature sound. But he has always had his own muse to follow as well. In 2004 GuruGanesha made his debut as a solo artist with the album Grateful Ganesh, a title that pays playful tribute to the artist�s all-time favorite band, the Grateful Dead. This was followed by Pure Ganesh in 2006, an album that ranks in the top ten of Spirit Voyage�s all time best-selling records. GuruGanesha�s solo career continued with Joy Is Now in 2008 and his newest release, 2011�s Kundanlini Surjhee. All these discs are remarkable for their blend of heartfelt songcraft, profound devotional mood and sterling guitar work embracing a cornucopia of musical styles, from jazz to rock to raga.
   In 2008, GuruGanesha embarked on his first solo tour, which met with a heartfelt outpouring of enthusiasm from his many fans. �Still to this day,� he says, �I get voicemails and emails asking when I�m going to do it again.�
   Those fans will get their wish in 2012, when the GuruGanesha band embarks on its debut national tour. It has long been GuruGanesha�s dream to apply his supple six-string style to the electric guitar�his first love�and to combine that instrument�s textures and tonalities with the sounds of acoustic guitar, bass and world percussion. That dream has been realized with the formation of the GuruGanesha Band, or GGB for short.
   �I could have called it GG Top, but decided against it at the last minute,� GuruGanesha quips.
   On tour, the GGB will be performing material from GuruGanesha�s solo releases. Fans will hear these beloved songs in a new way�a way they�ve never heard before, but a way in which GuruGanesha has always envisioned them.
   �Over the years, I would a occasionally do a few of my pieces in concert with other artists, he says. �But it wasn�t really the proper instrumentation to represent the pieces well. Because they�re guitar-oriented pieces, it�s very hard to deliver that without a bass and so forth.�
   It�s a rare artist indeed who is still innovating and blazing fresh trails at age 60. But GuruGanesha Singh is just that rare soul.

PRAISE FROM FANS FOR GURUGANESHA IN CONCERT

   �The concert in NYC last night was AMAZING! GuruGanesha�s guitar playing was PURE JOY. I�ve never seen anything like it. Run, don�t walk, to see GuruGanesha and the rest of the band.�

   �Last night�s kirtan in Toronto was an absolute joy, a connection to the heart. GuruGanesha is so divinely playful. I can�t wait for him to come back.�

   �The deep and pure happiness emanating from GuruGanesha�s being was so strong it was tangible. It makes me smile and brings a peacefulness to my heart, seeing such happiness in human form. It gives me hope, as does this music which gives a place to rest and be held in beauty and love.�

   �I felt like the concert could have gone on for another hour or two and I would still have been fully engaged. The music was incredible. I found myself awestruck by GuruGanesha�s guitar playing. I looked around and saw people mesmerized by the guitar. The vocals were wonderful. There were some four part harmonies in there that were amazing. It was really great all around!�

   �The concert in Toronto last night was FABULOUS! The evening was absolutely magical. GuruGanesha rocked.�

   �The concert last night was QUANTUM healing, beyond anything I could have imagined. I am awed by GuruGanesha�s present and talent. I talked to him after the concert. What a beautiful soul.�

What Am I Here For - Catherine Okane

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:00:00 -0800

Have you ever wondered what you are here for? How do you define �success�, and what matters in life? Popular culture would have us believe that freedom from responsibility equals happiness. To some extent all of us have bought into the idea that we would be happier with fewer commitments and responsibilities but more possessions. We are programmed to equate happiness with what we have accumulated, our 'purpose' with career and status. This is the consciousness that is contributing not only to our unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life, but also to the downfall of our planet. It is the small, many decisions we make on a daily basis that influence both our direction in life and our experience of it. When we are unhappy, it is because we are choosing to pursue something that is not in alignment with who we truly are. Revealing and healing these unconscious choices unlocks the door to happiness, satisfaction and freedom.

Iboga - Spirit Plant Medicine - Stephen Gray

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 18:00:00 -0800

Iboga is the name given to a shrub whose natural habitat is in equatorial West Africa. Though not yet well-known outside of that region, this plant medicine also has a long history of human use, particularly as a tool for psychological and spiritual healing. Ibogaine, its primary psychoactive alkaloid, was isolated in 1889 and has in recent decades been shown to have remarkable benefits of its own, especially in the treatment of addiction.

In West Africa, iboga is most often used as a sacrament of initiation in the Bwiti religion. Bwiti is a widely accepted and officially recognized religion in Gabon and in recent decades has spread to several neighbouring countries. It�s interesting to note that Bwiti is considered a universal religion by its members, open to anyone of sincere intention. There is a powerful vision afoot that sees iboga and ibogaine, like others medicines addressed at the conference, playing an important role in the planetary healing journey.

Stephen Gray was a student, meditation instructor, and teacher of Buddhism for many years. His main practice in recent years has been with the Native American Church. Stephen has also worked with other shamanic traditions, in particular, Amazonian ayahuasca shamanism. As well as his teaching and writing, Stephen composes music for "inner journeying" and has 3 CD's. Stephen has written for a number of print and online magazines such as Shaman's Drum, Sacred Hoop, and Reality Sandwich/Evolver.net.
His book, "Returning to Sacred World: A Spiritual Toolkit for the Emerging Reality", is available for on Amazon.com good bookstores everywhere and in Vancouver at Banyen Books.

He can be contacted via his website, www.stephengrayvision.com

Sean,
The practice I facilitate around the globe is one of meditative self-inquiry in a series of workshops focused on satsang and the realization of what is eternally present. My sessions provide the opportunity to discover a spaciousness existing within everyone, enabling practitioners to directly experience that they are not the thoughts they habitually think, the emotions they choose to feel, nor this physical body with its limitations of form . . . but rather the living expression of that which is watching the mind, emotions and body.
The practice I facilitate is very simple and without technique. It's meditative in that it is experienced through the body and not through the mind. It's possible to have an intellectual understanding of enlightenment but the living truth of it is another matter entirely.
Steve and I have been working together for about 8 years and facilitate the same practice with whatever plant we happen to be working with. The same experience pervading everything. With Iboga the practice is very much that of grounded meditative self-inquiry.

Sean will be returning from the U.K. to the west coast for a third time to offer another weekend iboga ceremony. This is a rare opportunity to work with this powerful and potentially life-changing medicine from equatorial West Africa. The three-day ceremony on May 11-13 will take place on BC's Sunshine Coast, a couple of hours' drive plus a short ferry trip from Vancouver.
The cost is $800 which includes accommodation, meals, the medicine, and a lot of caring guidance in a beautiful and peaceful rural setting. The maximum number of participants is 15 and a minimum $200 deposit is required to reserve a space.

Get What You Want, Want What You Get - Diederik Wolsak

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 18:00:00 -0800

Correction belongs only at the level where change is possible.
Change does not mean anything at the symptom level, where it cannot work.

Choose Again offers workshops and groups in Vancouver and Costa Rica to help families and individuals overcome the effects of chronic depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol abuse and eating disorders.

The Costa Rica Center offers residential treatment and retreats employing highly effective cutting-edge, non-pharmaceutical methods, based on the principle that our experience in the world is chosen by our beliefs. We can choose to change those beliefs and thereby achieve a different result in our lives. In other words: we can choose again. The Center in Costa Rica is located on eleven acres of breathtakingly beautiful forested hills with spectacular views of pristine Lake Arenal and Arenal Volcano.

Diederik Wolsak, RPC MPCP is a masterful therapist. Each client recognizes immediately that he is being trained to become independent of his counselor, that he is worthy of respect and has his own answers. Diederik is there to assist in finding and removing all blocks to happiness and peace in the most gentle and loving way. Diederik is the founder and program director of the Choose Again Attitudinal Healing Center. He is the lead facilitator of both the Vancouver and Costa Rica arms of the organization. He is an international workshop leader and relationship counselor with many years experience in group facilitation.

After many years of private practice in Vancouver, Diederik saw the need for a facility away from the familiar environment of his clients where they could work on themselves without the stress of maintaining their image of themselves. His dream was a wonderful quiet place of restful spiritual safety where clients could feel free to choose change. He created exactly that in Costa Rica and now invites clients to join him for as long as is necessary to change their minds.

Presentation: �A Storm on the Horizon �
How to educate our immune system to fight the flu�

Typically, the human immune system vanquishes viral invaders, or neutralizes their ability to spread. In either case, the virus is eliminated from our body. This happens every day. But, some viruses are resistant to a strong immune system. The battle intensifies as a strong but unwise immune system escalates inflammation at the cost of healthy tissues. This creates a �Cytokine Storm� that can destroy our lungs � all from an immune system that is strong but not smart.
In clear, easy-to-understand language, Dr. Baumann shows us all how we can �re-educate� our immune system to keep us healthy during flu season � and all year round.

Music for your soul - Theda Phoenix

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:30:00 -0800

"My name is Theda Phoenix, I am an intuitive singer, songwriter and performer from Vancouver. In 1986 I moved to Echo Bay, a small, island community in the Broughton Archipelago on the West Coast of British Columbia. Living on a float house with no electricity and only boat transport gave me the opportunity to experience the natural world closely, spending time on the water with the orca and humpback whales, dolphins, seals and eagles. Without the typical urban distractions I was able to attune deeply to the rhythms of coastal life. I witnessed the cycles of big tides with the full moon and the return of the salmon to the rivers every summer. This experience informed in me, a recognition of the innate spiritual intelligence flowing through this planet and all of life. It has inspired me to sing spontaneously, as a celebration of the essential living spirit flowing through us all."

Theda's Mission ~ To be a Global Healing Force of Love and Awakening.

To spread gratitude, joy and beauty through song and sound, that lifts the heart, clears the mind and awakens the spirit.

To invoke wonder for this miraculous gift of life and inspire the recognition of our divine essential nature as unlimited powerful spiritual human beings.

To unleash the knowing that we can live a life of freedom, self-responsibily co-creating our reality thru self-expression, acceptance, creativity, connection, health, compassion and Love.

"Theda has and authentically lovely voice and a repertoire that ranges from Enya to opera but on the night I saw her she wasn't so much singing as channeling emotional energy into a series of aural meditations improvised on the spot as the spirit moved her." - Rick Dennis, Cowichan News Leader

Occupy movement and the Future of Capitalism and Democracy

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:00:00 -0800

Wikipedia - The Occupy movement is an international protest movement which is primarily directed against economic and social inequality. The first Occupy protest to receive wide coverage was Occupy Wall Street in New York City's Zuccotti Park, which began on September 17, 2011. By October 9, Occupy protests had taken place or were ongoing in over 95 cities across 82 countries, and over 600 communities in the United States. As of January 22 the Meetup page "Occupy Together" listed 2,818 occupy communities worldwide.

Occupy Wall Street was initiated by the Canadian activist group Adbusters, and partly inspired by the Arab Spring,especially Cairo's Tahrir Square protests, and the Spanish Indignants. The movement commonly uses the slogan We are the 99%, the #Occupy hashtag format, and organizes through websites such as "Occupy Together". According to the Washington Post, the movement, which has been described as a "democratic awakening" by Cornel West, is difficult to distill to a few demands.

He has focused his efforts on developing the General Assembly and other governance mechanisms within occupy. as well being an active organizer within a number of different committees and working groups; including the environmental and labour relations committees.

He is also working with PartyX; a Vancouver based company that is developing technology and processes to support large group decision making. This technology can support the renewed interest in direct democracy as it can, for example, allow people to participate in voting processes from their home.

The Electric Jesus - Jonathan Talat Phillips

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:00:00 -0800

Jonathan co-founded the cutting edge web-magazine Reality Sandwich and social network for conscious collaboration Evolver.net, coordinating the Evolver Spores program with 40+ regional chapters. Jonathan is an initiate of the International Sufi Order, founder of the NYC Gnostics, and creator of �The Ayahuasca Monologues: Tales of the Spirit Vine.� He is a Reiki Master and certified in Bioenergetic Therapy from the Connecticut Healing Institute. He has a practice in NYC and does Skype sessions. www.TalatHealing.com

Praise for The Electric Jesus

�A modern Odyssey of awakening, Jonathan Talat Phillips's journey into Gnosticism deeply resonates with the eccentric moment. The Electric Jesus, a spiritual autobiography, reveals a life lived in the light of transformation, searching for the mystic core of a planetary civilization.� �Alex Grey, co-founder of the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, author of The Mission of Art

"A fresh, vigorous, and often startling account of a man's introduction to higher planes of reality. If you've ever wondered what the new consciousness movement is about, read this book and find out." � Richard Smoley, author of Inner Christianity and The Dice Game of Shiva: How Consciousness Creates the Universe

The Electric Jesus: The Healing Journey of a Contemporary Gnostic

Reading & Chakra Activation

with Evolver Co-Founder Jonathan Talat Phillips

Fri, January 27 Banyen Books

3608 West 4th Avenue, 6:30-8:30pm, Free

When Jonathan Talat Phillips experienced a devastating loss as a counter-cultural media activist, he unwittingly embarked on a mystical journey marked by underground ayahuasca ceremonies, kundalini awakenings, prankster spirit guides, shape-shifting extraterrestrials at the Burning Man festival, and miraculous energy healings that reshaped his skeptical worldview. In The Electric Jesus (edited by bestselling 2012 author Daniel Pinchbeck), Phillips chronicles the rise of an international movement that is trailblazing visionary ways to address our current planetary crisis through raised consciousness. Phillips delves into his own Christian background, discovering the lost rites of the mystery schools and their secret �electric� messages concerning personal transformation and a potential evolutionary shift for our world.

The night will open with a chakra activation to get our energies flowing, followed by a reading, and a community discussion about the Vancouver Spore (with Sobey Wing), the Evolver Social Movement, and a rising consciousness culture flowering across the planet.

Smart Meters - Yes or No? Jim Waugh, Joseph Tyls and Josh del Sol

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:00:00 -0800

Josh del Sol,
Ever feel your soul singing when you're doing something you were born to do? Well, my soul-singing passion is to spread good vibes, awareness, and encouragement that Yes - we human beings can make this world a better place. To do this, sometimes those that claim to be the "powers that be" need to be challenged. In a healthy and peaceful way always, of course.

Specifically, my current dharma involves envisioning the general awareness and vast energy behind the world's Occupy movement, to become aware and enlightened about what corporate-governments are doing at this moment in time, about their efforts to curb freedoms and dampen the light of human life. No matter how you slice it, these powers wish to install an all-pervading system of control on human beings and the planet. One of their cornerstone foundations is their "smart-grid" -- which is the uninvited big-brother bullying into each of our lives. The fact that they are doing it with bursting radiation technology that has been scientifically shown to negatively effect biological health on humans and the environment... well, that's just the icing.

I passionately believe that human beings are evolving into becoming the Creative force through which our whole civilization will be transformed to a better way which honors life. To do this, we must first decide to take a stand. We can do better than destroying and depleting the planet that sustains us. We can do better than allowing new energy technologies to be seized by the hundreds, as has been done by corporate-governments since the days of Nicola Tesla. We can do better than a world cut off from nature, made sick, in debt and enslaved to a fiat financial system designed like the game Monopoly -- one power owns everything in the end. We can do better.

Gandhi said he lived his life by what he termed as "Satyagraha" - which means literally "truth-power" or "truth-force". He knew that the simple power of truth, based on non-violent non-cooperation, is what changes the world. I take great inspiration from those who are so committed to change that, like Gandhi, they are willing to put their entire lives into it. Website: http://thebigpitcher.org

Trailer for Stop Smart Meters: The Film:

Josef Tyls III M.Sc. Ph.D.

Industrial Engineer was born in the Czech Republic and became a Canadian citizen in 1972 . He began his technical education while still in high school attending specialty courses surrounding industrial education, focusing on metal fabrication, mechanics and electronics. His project majors were the design and development of a direct drive super charger for small engine applications and high fidelity audio monitors, for which he received top marks in his classes. During his early career he attended specialized welding classes and electronics education classes at Vancouver�s Vocation Institute of Technology earning top marks.
In 1985 undertaking a private research project funded by his family, Josef developed a unique high definition three-dimensional holographic audio system specifically designed for healing purposes. By 1992 Josef Tyls was recruited by Dr. Carlos Fenton Mason D.Sc. of Mato Labs to design and engineer medical ozone generation systems capable of continuous use without degradation. The system designed and developed was then submitted as his project thesis of the degree of Master of Science in Industrial Engineering.

In 1994 Josef Tyls became heavily involved with research surrounding the efficacy of ozonation for potable water processing while investigating solutions to GVRD�s water crisis.

It was during this research that he developed the hyper oxygenation process that became the fundamental technology platform for his company Vancouver Oxygen research Technologies Ltd. which was then licensed to and still in use by the Avani Water Corporation in Burnaby B.C.

The commercial system once tested and confirmed by third part analysis was utilized as the major project submitted for his dissertation for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in Industrial Engineering in 1998.

In 1997 Josef Tyls became a member of the Occidental Institute Research Foundation and The Institute of the Noetic Sciences.

Josef has been involved with systems technology design throughout his working career and has successfully brought to market many of the technologies for nearly 30 years. His field of expertise covers all aspects of industrial engineering, electronics design and development, biology and bio-oxidative medicine, electro-medicine, water processing, and high definition audio systems used for healing.

His deep understanding of the fundamental structure of matter and its interrelationship with human consciousness is the basis of many of his unique technologies.

The list of mentors, which Josef has studied and developed his technologies from: Dr. Nicola Tesla, Victor Schauberger, John Worrell Keely, Dr. Walter Russell, and many other pioneers of quantum physics. Website: http://tyls.net

Jim Waugh,

For the past number of years he has been working to bring about a greater public understanding of man-made electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and its impact on human health.
He is the author and publisher of, Living Safely with Electromagnetic Radiation: A Complete Guide for Protecting Your Health, a well researched and readable book that has received favourable reviews by numerous readers and alternative health magazines in Canada and the United States.
Jim helps clients improve their living and working environments by locating sources of unhealthy radiation and advising on mitigation and shielding. He consults in the application of low-EMR design principles during planning and construction of new homes and major renovations. He coaches on the safe use of electrical appliances, equipment and wireless technologies.
Jim is active in promoting public awareness and understanding of electromagnetic radiation and its associated dangers through classroom workshops, speaking engagements, radio interviews and magazine articles.

Who We are When We are Not Addicted - Gabor Mate

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:00:00 -0800

Gabor Mat� M.D. is a physician and bestselling author whose books have been published in nearly twenty languages worldwide. Dr. Mat� is highly sought after for his expertise on a range of topics, from addiction and attention deficit disorder (ADD) to mind-body wellness, adolescent mental health, and parenting. A renowned thinker and public speaker, he addresses audiences all over North America, including professional and academic groups like nurses� organizations, psychiatry departments, and corporate conventions, as well as presentations and seminars for local community groups and the general public. As a writer and speaker, he is widely known for the power, insight, clarity, candour, compassion, humor, and warmth of his presentations.

Common to all of Dr. Mat�s work is a focus on understanding the broader context in which human disease and disorders arise, from cancer to autoimmune conditions like MS, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, or fibromyalgia; childhood behavioral disorders like ADD, oppositionality, or bullying; or addiction, from substance abuse to obsessive gambling, shopping, or even workaholism.

Rather than offering facile, quick-fix solutions to these complex issues, Dr. Mat� weaves together scientific research, case histories, and his own insights and experience to present a broad perspective that enlightens and empowers people to promote their own healing and that of those around them. His approach is holistic and kaleidoscopic � linking everything from neurophysiology, immunology, and developmental psychology to economic and social policy � and even touches on the spiritual dimensions of disease and healing.

His books, all Canadian best-sellers, include:

Scattered Minds: A New Look at the Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder* (1999)
When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress** (2004)
Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers (2005), co-written with Gordon Neufeld, Ph.D
In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction (2009). Recipient of the 2009 Hubert Evans Prize for Literary Non-Fiction.

Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition - Charles Eisenstein

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:00:00 -0800

I was born in 1967 and was a very sensitive, intellectual and dreamy child. I was always consumed by questions like, �Where did I come from?� �Why am I here?� �Where am I going?� so of course, embedded as I was in a culture that sees science and reason as the source of truth, I tried to �figure out� the answers. I graduated from Yale University with a degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, but my development of reason and intellect brought me no closer to any truth I really cared about.

I didn�t know what I was searching for, but I knew that none of the usual options life presents a Yale graduate attracted me. I went to Taiwan, learned Chinese, and soon found myself working as a translator. I spent most of my 20s there, educating myself broadly in Eastern spiritual traditions. I also read voraciously: books on politics, environment, health, religion, physics, and biology. Translation led to other business opportunities, and I became familiar with this dimension of the human experience. In Taiwan, I met my dear friend and ex-wife Patsy, with whom I have three children, all boys.

In my late 20s I entered what was to be a long period of intensifying crisis. It started when all my professional work became intolerable. It became excruciating to do work I didn�t care about. Even though a million reasons told me why it was irresponsible, impractical, and foolish to quit, I eventually could not make myself do it anymore. An irrepressible feeling, �I am not here to be doing this!� took control of my life. So I entered a long period of searching. I spent time teaching yoga, learning about herbs, and teaching at Penn State�s department of Science, Technology, and Society. I wrote a beautiful little book called The Yoga of Eating. All of these endeavors have contributed to my present and future, but none were really me.

I entered the flow of my true work in 2003, when I began writing The Ascent of Humanity, a process which took four years. I put my heart and soul into that book. I couldn�t find a publisher for it, so I published it myself in 2007. Soon thereafter, the book�s theme of separation, breakdown, crisis, and emergence took on a personal significance, as I went through divorce, bankruptcy, health breakdowns, and other losses. Much as is happening to our civilization, the old ways stopped working for me. This experience has deeply informed my thinking about money and economics.

I became interested in the money system as I was researching The Ascent of Humanity and exploring how money as we know it embodies and perpetuates the defining stories of our civilization: separation and ascent. When the financial crisis hit in 2008, I posted several articles on the website Reality Sandwich offering this macrocosmic perspective. The articles generated a huge response and were reprinted hundreds of times across the internet. That is what prompted me to enter deeply into the study of economics and to write my latest book, Sacred Economics. By now, my previous book and articles had spread widely and I had the connections and audience to consider publishing the new book with a publisher. I eventually reached an agreement with North Atlantic Books, who is publishing it under the Evolver Editions imprint. I admire this company not only for the many visionary books they publish, but also for their courage in agreeing to my unusual demands, including full online text and a Creative Commons copyright.

Since 2009 I have been on the faculty of the Health Arts and Sciences program at Goddard College, where I am sort of the resident generalist and public intellectual. I never thought I would feel so at home in an academic setting. Well, it really isn�t academic in the traditional sense. The educational model is very radical: self-directed learning in a holistic context. My role for the student is to read, to listen, to challenge, to respond, to hold container, offer resources, to mirror, to mentor.

I also do a lot of public speaking, both on money-related topics and on topics of civilization, transition, consciousness, technology, and transformation. You may contact me through the comments of this website or through www.ascentofhumanity.com

What is Evolutionary Astrology?

Evolutionary Astrology is a specialty branch of study, pioneered by Jeffrey Wolf Green, author of �Pluto, Evolutionary Journey of the Soul� and �Pluto II, The Astrology of Relationships�. (also Uranus, Freedom from the Known, Measuring the Night, Volumes 1 and 2).

Evolutionary Astrology studies the past lifetime dynamics that have brought the individual to present circumstances and level of personal development. By understanding the past and how far one has come, one can learn how to best facilitate the soul�s intended growth for the current life.

PRINCIPLES OF EVOLUTIONARY ASTROLOGY

An acceptance of the fact that human beings incarnate in a succession of lifetimes
An acceptance of the fact that the birth chart reflects the evolutionary condition of the soul at the moment of incarnation
An acceptance of the fact that the birth chart reflects the evolutionary condition of the soul for the present life
An acceptance of the fact that the circumstances of the present life, both materially and psychologically, do not arise randomly, but rather reflect the evolutionary intentions and necessities of the soul.
An acceptance of the fact that human beings interact creatively and unpredictably with their birth charts, that all astrological symbols are multidimensional and are modulated into material and psychic expression by the consciousness of the individual.
An acceptance of the fact that human beings are responsible for the realities they experience, both internally and externally.
A respectful intention to accept and support a person seeking astrological help, no matter the evolutionary state in which such an individual finds himself, or herself.

Conscious Food - Sasha Liang, Julie Beyer and Shawna Barker

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Sasha Liang is a Wellness Coach, Raw Chef, Permaculture Consultant & Thai Massage Practitioner incorporating the Living Food Lifestyle.

Growing up on a farmstead in rural Saskatchewan, Sasha has been exposed to the very large business of farming while still being taught the importance of self sufficiency in gardening, hunting, trapping and fishing.

As a former dancer, she has extensive experience in nutrition related to sports, sports injuries and eating for optimal health and performance.

Sasha's passions in life are travel, yoga, gardening, family, and the constant search for restoring balance to the planet.

"My belief is that diet is at the crux of solving most problems on this planet. From deforestation to depression, food is a central theme in every persons day to day life - or those of us who are most fortunate.

I govern myself by one simple rule. Think before you eat. Of course this blankets a multitude of questions like:

how far did my food travel to get to my plate & what are the consequences of my food choice?
Did any animals/people/beings suffer in order to produce what I am about to eat?
Has this food been irradiated, poisoned with chemicals or been compromised with genetic modifications?
When is enough truly enough? Have I had my fill of alcohol, sloth, pig out days?

All of these questions lead to making educated and well thought out choices for the day, the season and the year. At the end of it all you have the satisfaction of knowing there is always purpose in your actions."

Healthy Recipes:

Raw Vegan Key Lime Pie from Sasha
Makes a 9" Pie

To melt the coconut oil without heating it above 110 degrees, let it sit in a 110 degree dehydrator for about an hour before making the pie. Or, you may melt it in a saucepan over very low heat, removing it immediately from the heat once it is almost completely melted.

Crust:
1 1/2 cups macadamia nuts or cashews
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 cups pitted dates
pinch Himalayan or Celtic Sea Salt

*options to add to the crust: Cacao Powder, Maca Powder or Lucuma powder

Filling:
4 huge Hass avocados
juice of 11 juicy limes
3/4 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup virgin coconut oil, melted

*decorate/top your pie with thinly sliced fresh limes/lemons, or berries of your choice. Sometimes I even sprinkle more coconut on top if you like it sweeter

1. For the Crust: In a food processor, combine nuts, coconut, dates, and salt. Process the mixture until it is well combined, a little bit chunky, and sticky. When it is done, press the crust mixture evenly into a 9 inch pie pan - glass works best in my humble opinion.

2. For the Filling: Using either a blender or the food processor ( I prefer food processor), combine the avocado, lime juice, agave nectar, and coconut oil. Blend until smooth (this may take up to 5 minutes in a food processor) and pour the filling over the crust. Smooth the top with an offset spatula. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

This stays soooooo beautifully green!!!!

Chai Chocolate Truffles from Shawna - Gaia's Living Foods

In a food processor mix following ingredients until mixture sticks together (if too wet or sticky add more shredded coconut):

3/4 cup shredded coconut
6 fresh medjool dates
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
pinch sea salt

Form into balls and use thumb to make hole in middle (should look like little bowls). Save some truffle mixture for the last step.

Chocolate filling:

With fork or in food processor mix together:

3 tbsp melted coconut oil
2 tbsp cacao powder
1 1/2 tbsp with liquid sweetener of your choice: raw honey, yacon syrup, maple syrup, or date syrup (blend soaked dates with a bit of water)

Fill the truffle centers with chocolate filling and place in freezer for 5 minutes.
Press the remaining truffle mixture on top of the chocolate, covering it completely.
Roll truffles in shredded coconut and enjoy

Healing with Sound and Breath - Richard Hahn and Jerry DesVoignes

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Richard Hahn,

Growing up in BC, I started to accelerate my own personal development around 1999. The reality was, I wanted something different than what I currently was living and knew that involved making changes. I did not fully know how to create that change or where to start but it started with a decision, some courage, and then the act of taking a step! Take one step and the next bridge appears.

From that point on, I used the bridge building process in my life. I went from playing it safe to taking risks - risks that allowed me to change life rather dramatically. Travelling to places like India and Costa Rica widened my exposure to the diversity of life. I took workshops and joined leadership groups while exploring my deep fascination with meditation and the use of vibrational music and forms of creative expression. I began to cultivate my unique rhythm of life along with my dreams. Although I grew up in a family of electricians, I knew I was deeply passionate about working with others and the call to counsel grew stronger and stronger!

Life is a Process, Not a Destination

Becoming a counsellor is a journey in itself. I took leadership and personal development workshops and after a few years, assisted others in those same workshops! I went to three years of intense experiential counsellor training at the Clearmind International Institute and spent some years in the engaging process of mentoring others.

What accelerated my own life was joining a men�s personal development team and an international organisation called �Teen Journey�. My focus shifted from my own development to that of helping others. By mentoring teens and working with fascinating facilitators from around the world, my world has transitioned and opened beyond my own expectations. In the middle of these experiences I transformed. I am a different me then the one who began the journey over a decade ago. It puts profound meaning to the phrase �life is a process, not a destination�.

Blue Skies Counselling

This all brings me back to working with others in my own counselling practice and those first steps. The power of choice, courage, connection and change has allowed me to find my own unique interpretation of a life with blue skies.

Those blue skies are in both my outer experience and in my own inner mind while I continue to approach my struggles. What I now recognize and teach is that each natural transition of life is full of information, clues, and experiences that ready us perfectly for the full potential of the life right in front of us NOW! Counselling is a deeply rewarding career of supporting others like you to discover your full potential. When you get that true first glimpse of your own potential, from that point on, �the sky is the limit�! More info - http://www.blueskiescounselling.ca

About Star Activations�

http://lotusdestiny.com/services/lotus-destiny-star-activation-system/

The term �Star Activations� came to me as I started to draw sacred geometry. Sacred Geometry are universal patterns of geometric shapes that carry a high vibration. They are a make up of our DNA strands and our reality.

I discovered through communicating with my higher dimensional guides that the Sacred Geometry that I channel are called Star Activations. The Sacred Geometry acts as a Stargate channel that sends a powerful vortex of light energy, connecting you to your universal and cosmic truth; your �I AM� vibration. This assists in removing karma, old programming that is longer serving your soul�s mission, and fear-based emotions. You experience healing on all levels of your bodies, balancing the Divine Masculine energy, and the Divine Feminine energy within you.

At the time of your healing, each Star Activation holds a key where you connect directly with your guides, creating a divine, profound, and deep healing experience.

Do you know what your natural gifts and talents are?
Do you need clarity on how to express your true divine self?
Do you know that you have something unique to offer?
If you are ready to express your I AM vibration, this is the key to open up your channels!

What are the benefits?

Clear old programming and blocks
Recover your greatness and power
Heal your money story
Claim your gifts and talents
Increase awareness
Increase your consciousness
Attract and magnetize through your radiance

TAO of SOUND HEALING - Fabien Maman and Terres Unsoeld

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Thurs, December 8, 6:30-8pm
In-store @ Banyen Books presentation:
TAO OF SOUND

In this free in-store presentation, Fabien Maman, the founding father of vibrational sound healing (Websters� Dictionary), will present his revolutionary color slides documenting the profound impact acoustic sound has in balancing and harmonizing our subtle energy fields, chakras, and physical bodies. Fabien's research changed the landscape of sound healing as we know it today! He created the now famous technique of using tuning forks on acupuncture command points to heal the body, mind and soul. Join him as he celebrates the 30th anniversary of his work with the release of his new book, The Tao of Sound: Acoustic Sound Healing for the 21st Century.

Sunday, December 11, 1-5pm
Sound and Color Workshop
KOTOTAMA:
The Ancient Science
of Pure Sound ~ Harmonizing the chakras and auras
with sound and color

Fabien Maman, initiated in Kototama, the ancient Japanese science of pure sound, will teach his own precise sound correspondences to harmonize the organs, chakras and subtle energy fields with the seasons, directions and the stars. Maman, drawing from more than 30 years as a musician/composer, acupuncturist and researcher, aligns with the ancient traditions of classical music, mathematics, Chinese medicine, astrology and esoteric philosophy, as spelled out in his new book, The Tao of Sound. Faery/Shaman Terres Unsoeld will teach students how to harmonize the chakras and subtle energy fields with musical instruments, elemental sounds and color. $40 adv; $50 day of.

This workshop will be held at Sacred Space Studio (4 doors from Banyen)

More about Fabien Maman:

Fabien is a musician, composer, acupuncturist, author, researcher, healer, teacher, �bioenergetician� and martial artist. As a musician/composer, he performed his original compositions in the great concert halls of the world, including Carnegie Hall, the Tokyo Opera, the Paris Olympia and the Berlin Philharmonic. He was the recipient in 1980 of the Grande Prix de Composition Francaise (Grand prize of French composition).

In 1977, Fabien became an acupuncturist, linking music with acupuncture. He created the now famous system which uses tuning forks instead of needles on acupuncture command points.

In the early 80�s, Fabien conducted his revolutionary biology experiments at the University of Jussieu in Paris, showing the impacts of acoustic sound on human cells and their energy fields. Fabien found that through a series of acoustic sounds, he could explode cancer cells, as well as energize and empower healthy ones. (For more information click here for Sound/Cellular Research)

This would become the driving theory behind Fabien�s life�s work: 'that blockages in our subtle energy fields can result in physical illness if they are allowed to crystallize, and Sound, Color and Movement� are the most effective tools we can use to dissolve these negative energetic patterns.�

In 1988 Fabien founded Tama-Do (�Way of the Soul�), the Academy of Sound, Color and Movement�, offering a three-year training program for the evolution of consciousness using non-invasive vibrational techniques composed of Sound, Color and Movement� and Seasonal Healing Concerts.

For nearly 30 years, Fabien has created research and practical applications to balance the body, mind and spirit through the subtle energy fields. He has created more than 30 techniques through his Academy, each of which, took nearly seven years to test and apply. He is in the process of developing at least 20 more.

Highlights of Fabien�s work include:

1) Tuning fork techniques with color lights that balance acupuncture command points as well as the spine. Fabien was the first to use tuning forks on the body, and to link them with color.

2) A tuning fork technique for the Subtle Body Command Points using the 8 Extraordinary Meridians. There are 8 meridians, 8 chakras and 8 subtle energy fields, all of which can be harmonized with this technique.

3) Musical scales that correspond with different systems including seasons, elements, meridians, chakras, subtle bodies, and the Sephirotic Tree. Examples include:

a) Using the Cycle of Fifths (starting with low F) instead of a diatonic scale (do, re, mi�) to balance and empower the Chakras. Studies have shown that the low F is the vibrational frequency of the circumference of the earth.

b) Transposing Pentatonic Modes according to the key of the season, for the purpose of harmonizing with the elements of nature. Many traditions have used modes, but it was Fabien who first made the link with a key, the mode, the element, the organs and the season.

4) A protocol for finding one�s fundamental note, which helps to empower the cells in one�s body. Many other versions of fundamental sound have been created since Fabien first introduced his cellular research.

5) A touch technique (TEP, Tama-Do Extra Points) using sound, color and movement to balance 21 key points on the body which command the Chakras and energy fields.

6) Tao Yin Fa, (Movement for Health), a new form of Qi Gong in five steps, working on the physical; psycho/spiritual; and cosmic consciousness levels. Fabien also created a method to find one�s �fundamental movement�, which is equivalent to the dance of one�s soul.

7) Tama-Do Sound Instruments� to �shatter� negative patterns and bring harmony in the energy field. These magnificent instruments include a monochorde table; the Giant Pyramid (a 7�X7� pyramid tuned with the modes of the seasons); the Arche of Sound (a 13� high �cathedral of sound�); and the Bagwa (a 15� octagon).

8) Seasonal Harmonizing Concerts to bring human beings into resonance with nature, community and the cosmos through the use of sound, color and movement.

Fabien has taught and lectured around the world including College de France, Atman College de Osteopathie de Nice, Academic Hospital of Leningrad, the Bristol Cancer Clinic in England and IBRACHI, the Acupuncture College of Sao Paolo, Brazil. He also teaches every summer for his Academy in the South of France.

In the United States, he was a key speaker for the World Research Foundation, the 11th Congress of Alternative Medicine, and at the second and third Sound Colloquia. He has taught at the Portland College of Acupuncture, and, for five years, he has taught at the New York Open Center.

Fabian Maman is the author of a series of four books: From Star to Cell: A Sound Structure for the Twenty-First Century. These books include:

The Role of Music in the Twenty-First Century

Raising Human Frequencies

The Body as a Harp - Sound and Acupuncture

Healing with Sound, Color and Movement - Nine Revolutionary Healing Techniques

Laurel Murphy has been singing in Vancouver since 1992. She has a formal education in jazz and improvisation, while her personal explorations have included various aspects of the healing arts.

Finding Your Other Half - Declan Kerr

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Declan Kerr is a fulltime writer and healer pursuing an interest in how we find ourselves. If we accept that there is so much more to us than meets the eye and much of our identity is based around our physical senses then how do we see, how can we know, and how do we enjoy all the invisible stuff?

In his third book to date Declan explores these themes in Finding Your Other Half - and the glorious and fabulous transformation that happens in our lives when we bring all of our invisible wonder and merge it with all we know of our physical being.

Having found a new and wonderful awareness of ourselves intimate and loving relationships can be experienced quite differently, because we�re no longer looking to another person to fill the gaps or somehow make things right. We can enjoy another for who they are and take a fresh look at things like trust, power, balance and equality in relationships.

Finally the book covers the finding of everyone else, and the current transformations taking place as we evolve to a new state of connection and awareness between ourselves and a new relationship with our beautiful planet.

Declan is over from the UK to promote this book, and as well as this Wednesday�s radio show is offering a mini-workshop in which you can experience the finding of yourself, the experience of merging the visible and invisible, and the experience of how it feels to bring the qualities you desire into your loving relationships.

Finding Your Other Half workshop - Declan Kerr

November 22nd, 8.30 PM - 10.30 PM

Eternal Abundance - 1025 Commercial Drive

$25 + HST in advance or $30 at the door

Organic cookie and tea included

Eternal Abundance is an Organic Produce Store and Vegan Raw Food Cafe,

come at 7.30 PM to meet interesting people before the event, do some shopping & get nourishing dinner or dessert and get 10% discount!

Finding Your Other Half is about spirituality and relationships. The central idea is that when we decide to find ourselves then intimate and loving relationships change dramatically because we�re not looking for someone else to make us feel good about ourselves or fill the gaps. Finding ourselves is mostly relaxing about who we are � we�re already here after all - it�s just that we decide to see ourselves. Once we relax about ourselves then relationships change � we can enjoy someone else for all the wonderful stuff.

Doesn�t matter if you are in a relationship or desire one. Having found yourself, relationships can be taken to a whole new level.

In this mini-workshop, you will be invited to see how it feels to :
�    Be aware of there being more of you: and then how it feels to connect and integrate the energy of yourself as a physical being with the energy of yourself as a spiritual being
�    Recognize how it feels to be supported in the balance of physical and spiritual, so that you can choose to live this way from this moment on
�    Decide what qualities you would most like to experience in your existing relationship or what you would like to experience with a compatible partner
�    Bring these qualities into your life so that your experience of intimate and loving relationships can change from this moment on

German New Medicine about Emotions and Cancer - Caroline Markolin

Fri, 11 Nov 2011 11:11:00 -0800

Caroline Markolin received her Ph.D. in German literature from the University of Salzburg, Austria. After she moved to Canada in 1987, she taught German Language and Literature at Concordia University in Montreal. During her academic career she published numerous books and essays on contemporary Austrian literature. In 1998 she resigned from her academic position as tenured Associate Professor and began to pursue her strong interest in naturopathic medicine. From 1999 � 2001 she gave workshops about the benefit of nutritional supplements and herbs to naturopaths in Germany and Austria.

It was during that time that she heard her first lecture about German New Medicine. Captivated by this new medical paradigm, which � based on sound scientific criteria - understands so-called �diseases� as age-old meaningful biological survival programs that have been successfully practised for millions of years of evolution, she dedicated herself enthusiastically to study Dr. Hamer�s revolutionary discoveries. After one year of intense studying of the available research material, she met Dr. Hamer who has become her personal tutor and mentor. Since 2002 Caroline is an approved full-time German New Medicine teacher, who gives GNM presentations and GNM seminars in Eastern and Western Canada.

Celebrating Embodiment through Ecstatic Free-style Dance - Jelena Marda

Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:30:00 -0800

Jelena Marda is the host and producer of Dance Divine; a weekly, un-facilitated, �Ecstatic Free-Style� dance event, held every Sunday morning from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm at The Dance Centre on 677 Davie Street.
Dance Divine is a weekly dance event where people of all ages, all abilities, and all dance and non-dance backgrounds come together to practice authentic movement, or �embodiment�, and collectively create a safe and sacred environment where a person actively �holds space� for themselves and for each other, so that everybody may enjoy the freedom and support to move through and attune to what is true for them.

Dance Divine will be celebrating its 2nd birthday on Sunday November 13th with a draw for a give-away of 3 free passes (good for 5 classes each, valued at $65 each)

Jelena holds a degree as a Transpersonal Psychotherapist and Counsellor, and works as a Graphic Artist and Designer on various creative/entrepreneurial projects.
Through the deeply �experiential�, catharsis- and processing-based nature of her studies in Transpersonal Psychology, Jelena found herself particularly drawn to the art and science of the �body-mind connection� and she has both explored and facilitated the dynamic relationships between the body, the subconscious and the higher conscious.
�Regardless of how much I may be fascinated by psychology and the intellect, I have never been as impressed, mystified, educated, healed and humbled as when the body, the heart and the spirit are invited to speak to us, through us. �
For 3 years, Jelena continued her learning as a student of the 5 Rhythms, which has been described as a �moving meditation�, an �authentic movement� or �dance movement� practice. In November of 2010 she launched Dance Divine, which has grown to be a well-loved weekly event with �classes� ranging in size between 30 and 40 people, welcoming weekly newcomers and committed, bonded regulars, who have been dancing together for years.

Free-style Dance is an �Awareness Practice� that helps us to sense, scan and listen to our (inner) selves, creating an awareness of ones own feelings/content/state. And once something is brought into consciousness, acknowledged, and accepted, it can shift.

The dance is also an expressive art form. Using authentic, internally referenced movement, we begin to explore our own personal way of expressing what we find when we attune inwardly.
At that point we are actively �articulating the self�, and simultaneously moving with, and through, the content that we discovered there. Of course, this is cathartic, cleansing and transformative and helps to create more �flow� and spontaneity in life. It also happens to sharpen our intuition!

Once we have Returned to the Self, and Expressed the Self, all that remains is to Transcend the Self. The dance can be a powerful way of transcending the ego mind and connecting with an expanded sense of self. This part of the experience is extremely personal and I will not venture to comment on what happens for people, however many people refer to the Sunday morning dance as their preferred brand of �church�.
Dance has long been revered for its power to heal the body, mind and soul, strengthen the bonds of community, and facilitate communing. It allows us to discover deeper aspects of who we are as human beings. Ecstatic dance is a multi-layered experience that takes the dancer on an inner journey. It is a form of active meditation using music, movement and the breath.

She joins us in a discussion about dance, the community it fosters, music (the all-transcending medium) and embodiment; the courage it truly takes to be fully embodied, and beauty that flows from that embrace.

The Fifth Agreement - Miguel Ruiz and Jose Ruiz

Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:00:00 -0800

don Miguel Ruiz

Don Miguel Ruiz is the international bestselling author of The Four Agreements (a New York Times bestseller for over seven years), The Mastery of Love, and The Voice of Knowledge. His books have sold over seven million copies in the United States, and have been translated into dozens of languages worldwide. For nearly three decades, don Miguel has shared his unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern-day awareness through lectures, workshops, and journeys to sacred sites around the world.

don Jose Ruiz

Don Jose Ruiz grew up in a world where anything was possible. From the moment he could speak, he became an apprentice of his nagual (shaman) father, don Miguel Ruiz, and his curandera (healer) grandmother, Mother Sarita. As a teenager, he traveled to India to study with friends of his father, and at the age of twenty-three, he became the successor to the family lineage. In the tradition of his ancestors, don Jose has dedicated his life to sharing the teachings of the ancient Toltec. For the past seven years, he has been lecturing and leading classes across the United States, and at sacred sites around the world.

The Fifth Agreement
don Miguel Ruiz & don Jose Ruiz

Review by Mischa Geracoulis

The Fifth Agreement is the essential and proverbial icing on don Miguel Ruiz�s cake, also known as the bestselling The Four Agreements. Co-authored with son, don Jose Ruiz, The Fifth Agreement presents new insights that bring home the lessons of The Four. The Fifth�s readability is as appropriate for those versed in the work of Ruiz the elder, as for the complete novice.

Ruiz and Ruiz give us a refreshing spin on spiritual growth, self-help, and New Age literature, making The Fifth Agreement a rare breed in its genre. Throughout the book, they affirm that personal development and empowerment lie in choice � that everything in life is choice.

Not exactly confirming popular New Age assertions that we create our reality (circumstances, even illnesses, which sometimes engender a blaming effect), Ruiz and Ruiz scale it to a more fundamental, straightforward level. The premise is that our reality � our �dream� in Ruiz-speak � is based on our perspective. In other words, what we believe to be true may not actually be the truth. A belief is not necessarily a truth, and our beliefs, therefore, stand to be tested. The Fifth Agreement then, is the litmus that tests our beliefs.

Don Miguel Ruiz�s Four Agreements dispel the myth of what he calls �domestication.� The Fifth Agreement now further urges us to drop our stories and unlearn our domestication. Through this subtle paradigm shift, we become the observer and listener rather than storyteller. By shifting, we wake up to our programming and its accompanying distortions of reality. Waking, as though from a sleepwalk through life, our true nature is re-instilled.

Expanding on this premise, Ruiz and Ruiz describe how we are constantly choosing to eat, metaphorically, either from the Tree of Life or the Tree of Knowledge, and the consequences of each. More simply put, The Fifth Agreement teaches us to discern between transient knowledge and universal truths. Moreover, it shows us how struggling against truth is the root of human suffering.

Regardless of background, race, creed, or station in life, we�re shown that it is possible to advance from victim of circumstance to warrior, and ultimately to master. For The Fifth Agreement reveals that we truly are master of our own universe.

Reconnective Healing - Christine Upchurch

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Christine Upchurch, M.S., was headed to what she terms �a sensible career on a sensible path.� That would ultimately mean designing and analyzing clinical trials in cancer research for one of the nation�s leading cancer centers. But something happened along the way to that stellar career at the top of her field. She became a cancer statistic herself.

Upchurch was diagnosed with early stage lymphoma. Upchurch went off to the library and began researching alternatives. So in her 20s, she embarked on a path of holistic healing, and her cancer simply disappeared.

The experience inspired in Upchurch a passion to know more about alternative therapies and it was then that she discovered Reconnective Healing�, the breakthrough form of alternative healing that tens of thousands of people around the globe are learning to apply to others, to their loved ones and to themselves. A form of healing anyone can learn to do! 60,000 people around the globe are now engaging is this work.

But it was her personal experience�the sudden and astonishing healings by her clients that really hooked Upchurch -- recoveries from fibromyalgia, hepatitis C, chronic fatigue, depression and more. Trained in math and science, she needed proof and here it was.

Today, she is one of only three people in the world beside Reconnective Healing founder Dr. Eric Pearl, designated to teach this remarkable skill to others. When not at home in her own practice, Christine travels the world educating people about Reconnective Healing and teaching them how to apply it to heal others.

"A Man's Work Is Never Done ...A Novel About Mentoring Our Sons"

Boys with an absent father face a considerable and well-documented number of social, academic and emotional deficiencies because of a lack of mentoring from his father guide. In his new book, Port Colborne author James R. Cloughley addresses these issues as well as the uncomfortably new and unfamiliar role men have in the post-feminist world. �A Man's Work Is Never Done ...A Novel About Mentoring Our Sons" will be released in Canada on November 30, 2011

�The number of fatherless children continues to rise. As men, we need to take responsibility not just for being a parent but to be mentors to our sons,� explains Cloughley.

Written as a novel, the book explores the problems young boys today face with their relationships, their identity and the maturation process when they don�t have a father around. Jacob, a troubled teenage boy, establishes a positive relationship with an older neighbour, who himself is examining his life�s legacy as he faces an inevitable demise.

Their conversations and the situations they face together, and with Jacob�s single mother, uncover the lessons our society needs to learn. This book benefits not only fathers, but sons of absent fathers, single mothers who are trying to be both
mother and father, family relationship counselors and school systems, to name a few. Pre-order the book now from Influence Publishing at http://inspiredauthorscircle.com/jim-cloughley and receive your free promotional gifts from other authors of influence.

Heart of Sacred Activism - A Union of Love, Wisdom & comPassion in Action - Andrew Harvey

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 18:00:00 -0800

ANDREW HARVEY is an internationally acclaimed poet, novelist, translator, mystical scholar, and spiritual teacher. Harvey has published over 20 books including The Hope a Guide to Sacred Activism (Hay House) and Heart Yoga the Sacred Marriage of Yoga and Mysticism (North Atlantic Books). Harvey is a Fellow of All Souls College Oxford from (1972-1986) and has taught at Oxford University, Cornell University, The California Institute of Integral Studies, and the University of Creation Spirituality, as well as, various spiritual centers throughout the United States. He was the subject of the 1993 BBC film documentary The Making of a Modern Mystic. He is the Founder of the Institute for Sacred Activism in Oak Park, Illinois, where he lives. His website is www.andrewharvey.net

Andrew Harvey believes that the central, fundamental, and most urgent meaning of our world crisis is to call us all to a new way of being and doing in the world. This is why he has dedicated his life to Sacred Activism. Inspired in part by Pierre Tielhard de Chardin, Andrew believes that the birth of a new divine humanity is trying to take place from the depths of our contemporary crisis, and that it depends upon a radical union of all the opposites that have traditionally been kept separate: a radical union of transcendence and immanence, heaven and earth, mind and heart, body and soul, mystical awareness and radical action.

Upcoming Events in Vancouver with Andrew Harvey:

Heart of Sacred Activism - A Union of Love, Wisdom & comPassion in Action

Oct 27th - Banyen Books Talk with Andrew Harvey 6:30pm

Oct. 28th - Rumi Renaissance Temple Night - 7pm

The Priest Who Left His Religion - In Pursuit of Cosmic Spirituality - John Shields

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 18:30:00 -0800

John Shield�s remarkable career has spanned theology to economics, negotiations to senior labour management. A deep love of culture and place has infused his environmental consciousness.
John is recognized internationally as a leader in the labour movement and an advocate for win/win bargaining. A deep interest in spirituality led him to contemporary cosmology, which is illuminating a deeper understanding of the universe. For the past twenty years he has explored the connection between science and spirituality.

Born in NY City, Shields holds a Masters Degree in theology from St. Paul�s College in Washington, DC, where he worked with Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement. He went on to teach popular theology in Canada and the US. He left the church and moved to British Columbia in 1969. An interest in social justice led him to the labour movement where he was a champion for women�s equality work. He was President of the BC Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU) for fourteen years.

He has been teaching Labour Relations and Negotiations at Vancouver Island University.

Here what John said about his book: "The Priest Who Left His Religion - In Pursuit of Cosmic Spirituality " - From my Grandfather's prophecy that I would be the first American Pope to my ordination as a Paulist priest, my early life was steeped in religion. I taught popular theology in Canada and the United States until the Pope had rejected the teaching of Vatican II about the Bible and the finding of the new scholarship. The new discovery was that the church in the fifth century made a fundamental error in interpreting the Bible's teaching about Original Sin. The new discovery could have returned the church to the message of love and unity that Jesus had taught. Instead the church suppress the new knowledge, many theologians were silenced.

I left the priesthood and the church and began a 20 year long search for a spirituality to fill the void of the loss of my religion. My introduction to NASA's discovery about the origin of the universe opened a new worldview that has been my passion since the early 90s.

This book chronicles my journey into the new awareness from science about a radical new perception of the cosmos and its profound effect on my spirituality. The conscious, unified universe has inspired my awe and passion for an entirely new way of experiencing everything.

Upcoming Event:

Sunday November 13 John Shields will offer an illustrated workshop at Unity of Vancouver, 5840 Oak Street. John will tell the story of how he discovered the spirituality of the universe, as well as the shocking story of how the Pope denied and covered up the discovery by modern scholars that there was no Original Sin. Reviewing the revelation that the Adam and Eve story in Genesis was never intended to be history, Shields discusses how the Catholic Church turned its back on the truth and pretended that the shocking information did not exist.

He will track his own life and his journey to the discovery that the universe is conscious and dynamically alive. He shows how everyone is connected in the oneness of the cosmos. The workshop fee is $30 and includes a copy of the book, The Priest Who Left His Religion - In Pursuit of Cosmic Spirituality. His book is available on Amazon.ca for $23.95 + tax.

Why I Cancelled My Health Insurance - Agneta Dyck

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 18:45:00 -0800

Agneta Dyck was born in Mexico and raised in Manitoba. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Manitoba and raised her two sons in Winnipeg. Later she moved to Vancouver and did her Masters degree at Simon Fraser University. She currently divides her time between Canada, Mexico and France. She speaks five languages.

Her website: http://www.agnetadyck.com

In an aging society, and one in which healthcare programs are eating up ever larger segments of the fiscal pie, alternatives to traditional care are badly needed. Teaching individuals to take some responsibility for their own health, and reduce the stresses that can challenge it, would be a boon of significant proportions. Agneta Dyck�s new book does just that, and may be just what the doctor ordered for us as individuals and as a culture.

�Why I Cancelled My Health Insurance,� was launched a few months ago at the Vancouver Public Library and has been making waves ever since. In it, the author describes how she brought herself back from a state of disease and depression to a point of confident health and happiness. So much so that, when she decided to move from Canada and take up residence in another country for a few years, she realized she no longer needed medical insurance.

But the book is not a memoir. Instead, it is a potent and detailed guide that empowers readers to take care of their own health. Using a formula called the 3 Rs, they learn, step by step, how to identify the stressors that cause ailments and the ways they can eliminate them to heal and even prevent illness. The author promises not only a healthier body, but also a happier state and even a reversal of aging!

It�s a simple methodology and it clearly works. Here is what early readers say:

A lot of your recommendations I have come across in various shapes and forms in similar types of books, but what is special about yours is the huge amount of specific 'how to' suggestions and tools, rather than the somewhat airy-fairy advice that doesn't answer questions such as "Yes, but where and how do I start, and what exactly should I do?"

I have finished your book and am re-reading it, starting tonight. I found it to be very helpful and insightful. I am still struggling�with the end of a very deep relationship� but, with the help of some of your ideas and suggestions, am moving to a more positive place�Thank you so much. The book really is a treasure for me. It is so well written and chock full of helpful ideas.

Agneta will describe her method in more detail at her presentation and signing at Banyen Books

He began his technical education while still in high school attending specialty courses surrounding industrial education, focusing on metal fabrication, mechanics and electronics. His project majors were the design and development of a direct drive super charger for small engine applications and high fidelity audio monitors, for which he received top marks in his classes. During his early career he attended specialized welding classes and electronics education classes at Vancouver�s Vocation Institute of Technology earning top marks.

In 1985 undertaking a private research project funded by his family, Josef developed a unique high definition three-dimensional holographic audio system specifically designed for healing purposes. By 1992 Josef Tyls was recruited by Dr. Carlos Fenton Mason D.Sc. of Mato Labs to design and engineer medical ozone generation systems capable of continuous use without degradation. The system designed and developed was then submitted as his project thesis of the degree of Master of Science in Industrial Engineering.

In 1994 Josef Tyls became heavily involved with research surrounding the efficacy of ozonation for potable water processing while investigating solutions to GVRD�s water crisis. It was during this research that he developed the hyper oxygenation process that became the fundamental technology platform for his company �Vancouver Oxygen research Technologies Ltd.�, which was licensed and still in use by the Avani Water Corporation in Burnaby B.C. The commercial system once tested and confirmed was utilized as the major project submitted for his dissertation for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in Industrial Engineering in 1998. In 1997 Josef Tyls became a member of the Occidental Institute Research Foundation and The Institute of the Noetic Sciences.

Josef has been involved with systems technology design throughout his working career and has successfully brought to market many of the technologies for nearly 30 years. His field of expertise covers all aspects of industrial engineering, electronics design and development, biology and bio-oxidative medicine, electro-medicine, water processing, and high definition audio systems used for healing. His deep understanding of the fundamental structure of matter and its interrelationship with human consciousness is the basis of many of his unique technologies. The list of mentors, which Josef has studied and developed his technologies from: Dr. Nicola Tesla, Victor Schauberger, John Worrell Keely, Dr. Walter Russell, and many other pioneers of quantum physics.

PRAC For Life Program
Designed for Professional Counselling Training
and Personal Development

This Transpersonal Counsellor Training program is suitable for, but not limited to, an individual and/or group counselling career. Students choosing to take the full program, for the purpose of beginning their counselling career, qualify to apply for registration with the CPCA as �Registered Professional Counsellors� and will receive a Diploma in �Transpersonal Counselling Psychology�. Professionals already working in the field may benefit from our program�s �physician heal thyself� approach, and from learning a cohesive, powerful transpersonal model.

Practicum hours are accumulated in-house, making Clearmind's PRAC for Life program the best value for money in the counselling training industry. We have a sustained track record of 85% of our graduates becoming Registered Professional Counsellors and working in the helping professions.

PRAC for Life can also be taken as a personal development course for anyone interested in experiencing a greater sense of self awareness, purpose, as well as building communication and leadership skills. Students in this stream of the program do not write exams, and receive certificates of completion at the end of each year they choose to take. The qualities and skills that make effective, responsible counsellors are the same qualities that make effective, responsible human beings.

Established in 1992, the intention of the PRAC for Life Program was to create a counsellor training program that would accomplish the following goals:

1) To have the students experience the emotional territory that they would have their future clients experience in the course of therapy.

2) To include, as well as move beyond, mainstream psychology. To add spiritual and metaphysical perspectives to fully understand the dimensions of the human condition.

Clearmind International is founded on the principle that the Universe is a friendly place and that behind, beyond or beneath all behavior lies positive intention. Therefore, whether the student is embarking on a genealogical study of their family of origin, exploring relationship dynamics, or coming to grips with their own inner world, the purpose is the same: to discover the friendliness that exists outside of a disbelieving core belief system.

Propelled by the principles of A Course in Miracles and incorporating the methodology of experiential therapies as well as the latest body/mind perspectives, the student not only develops a thorough understanding of the complexity and intrigue of human dynamics, but comes face to face with his/her own. PRAC for Life thus has become not only an academic adventure but an adventure of Mind, Body and Soul as well.

Initially the student begins the program following the curriculum of the course. The program adjusts itself as students become aware of their own personal curriculum that emerges within the course. The instructors then reposition themselves supporting the student in taking responsibility for the student�s own unique personal curriculum as well as leading them in the collective curriculum. This may be the most unique feature of this training.

This counsellor training program offers not only a comprehensive theoretical study of the understanding and mapping of the landscape of human dynamics, but also a rich, exciting, intense, yet playful, journey into the discovery of the tapestry of the authentic self.

PRAC for Life is designed to build on the foundation of the previous year, moving from a focus on self in year 1, to relationship in year 2, to leadership in year 3. The skills and theory taught are psychological and spiritual in nature, and can assist the student to function better personally and professionally (through improved interpersonal relationship and leadership skills). Our unique Transpersonal Systems Theory emphasizes embracing your personal mythology and finding a sense of your unique place in the universe. Students are free to choose to take only 1 year, 2 years, or the complete 3 year program (3 years is required for CPCA applicants). Students may also choose to take a break between years. A signficant aim of the program is to assist the student to meet their own personal and professional goals.

CLEAR YOUR BLOCKS (TO HEAVEN) A SOUL TALK with NATASHA J. ROSEWOOD

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:00:00 -0800

After surviving life in a large, chaotic family in Oxfordshire, England, Natasha, a reincarnation of a Gypsy, found her niche as a flight attendant and apprentice palmist and traveled extensively. She lived in Switzerland, Norway, Germany and Libya, studying the languages of those countries and picking up a few additional languages before immigrating to British Columbia, Canada. Since 1995, when she finally surrendered to her fate as a full-time psychic, Natasha evolved from palm reader to psychic coach, facilitating spiritual healing and psychic development through corporate and private workshops, writing books and columns, and offering private and phone consultations to people around the world. Her mission is to make her work as a psychic coach redundant by training others to listen to, and trust, their own intuition.

Natasha's first book: Aaagh! I Think I'm Psychic (And You Can Be Too)

What do you feel when you hear the word "psychic?" Spine-chilling goose bumps or a gripping allure? A burning desire to discover more or the impulse to run? Fascination or fear?

We all have intuition, perhaps even a psychic ability. So why don't we use it? Fear of the unknown, fear of losing control, fear of meeting our dark side or the fear instilled in humankind during the Spanish Inquisition that still sits in our cellular memory and holds power over our otherwise unlimited minds? In this enlightening, entertaining and empowering book, Natasha brings the word "psychic" out of the witch's closet and into the light of the New Age. "Now, more than ever in our history, the planet needs all of us to acknowledge our power by paying attention to our inner voices. But first we have to embrace and trust our intuition."

Warning: This material contains mind-illuminating content. Aaagh!

Randy Jones & Mythic Nature

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 19:00:00 -0800

Randy Jones of Mythic Nature: The Olduvai Expedition
Wednesday August 31st 6:00-7:00pm

Randy Jones is a community leader and an advocate for the revival of the conversation between the modern world and the wisdom of Indigenous cultures. Sorrowed by the very loss of the wild in modernity, Randy has dedicated much of his life to re-establishing an alliance between the two. Over the last 15 years, Randy has embarked on an indigenous training which has included dynamic studies in mythology, ritual, rhythm, dance and storytelling. He has trained and worked with such renowned teachers as Michael Meade, Daniel Deardorff, Malidoma Some, Sobonfu Some, Francis Weller, Steven Jenkinson, Martin Prechtel, Marion Woodman and Robert Bly. Randy is skilled in facilitating what has become an increasingly necessary discourse between humans, nature and the spirit world. A veritable "Urban Shaman," he has guided individuals and communities in Vancouver through powerful Initiation and Grief Release Rituals that have sparked an experiential integration of mythological wisdom in those who have participated. In a time where the very idea of the Indigenous is on the verge of being lost, Randy applies his knowledge to what he feels is his particular duty of 'calling forth voices' and awakening the 'Wild Genius' in us all.From the Dagara People (Burkina Fasso, West Africa) comes an extraordinary Medicine Wheel of mostly intact indigenous knowledge and a living tradition of healing rituals. It is based on community work, music, dance, embodiment, a sophisticated imagining of the spirit world, a deep understanding of psychology and initiation, and a cosmology of five elements. On September 15, 2011, we will embark on a year-long journey through the knowledge traditions of the Indigenous mind, heart and soul. The Olduvai Expedition will be a sincere attempt to pass through the ancient gateways of indigenous wisdom, offering practical skills for sustained healing through a discovery of our innate potential or "Wild Genius."

You are loved as you Are - Panache Desai

Wed, 24 Aug 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Panache Desai interview - Wednesday August 24th 6:00-6:30

"There is nothing wrong with you. You are loved exactly as you are."
-Panache

The essence of you is love. Your mission this lifetime is so much greater than giving love or receiving love. You are on this Earth to BE LOVE.

Before you can receive love or truly love anyone else you must fully embrace and deeply love yourself.

It is impossible to ascend to the highest vibration and fulfill your destiny if you are moving through life on empty. Being enlightened is no longer enough. Being awakened is only the first step. The next phase in the collective is this: mastering self-love.

Panache has committed his life to traveling the world carrying this divine energy to people of all nationalities, all religious beliefs and ideologies. He has activated thousands of people through his divine presence. He is a vehicle of profound peace, love and light.

Join Andrew as he interviews Panache and gets to the core of the struggle people are facing today, and how they can free themselves through self understanding and acceptance.

An Evening with World Renowned Hand Analyst:
�Life Purpose and Fingerprint Analysis�

Richard Unger, Author of �Lifeprints� Deciphering Your Life Purpose from Your Fingerprints

Richard is the founder and director of the International Institute of Hand Analysis. Since 1969, he has presented his life-purpose system in lectures, workshops, and on radio and television across the United States, Canada, and Europe. He has read over 60,000 hands. I am honoured to announce that Richard will lead an evening workshop at my home:

�Miracle House�
4665 Mountain Hwy
Wednesday Evening, August 24th
7:00 pm � 10:00 pm

Everyone attending will receive a personal evaluation of their Life Purpose as encoded in their fingerprints.

Attendance at this event costs $35.00
Please RSVP to Shelora:604-781-0867

�Hand reading is totally mystical and life altering; an experience unlike any other. Because each pair of hands are a self portrait drawn from deep within, to have your hands read is to lift the veil, to stare deep into the truth mirror, to stand revealed before your very eyes. A hand reading shows you who you are today and who you can be.

The Hand Analyst will examine the overall shape of your palm and fingers to determine your basic temperament, your thumb to see you how you "get things under your thumb," and the twelve zones of the fingers to see personality strengths and weaknesses. The lines in your palm will be examined to determine your basic wiring: the type of emotional system you have, what kind of computer you possess, which nervous system type you are, etc. Talents and hidden motivations will be revealed. Both hand shape and lines change over time, but there is a part of your hands unaltered from five months prior to birth: your fingerprints. Like an acorn containing within it a picture of the oak tree it may become someday, your fingerprints reveal your Life Purpose.

By comparing the original imprint revealed in your fingerprints with the dynamic map of your personality and character shown in the lines and hand topography, a hand reading gives perspective to your current circumstances in relation to the big picture of your life story. This provides you with more information about yourself, so that you can make new choices and start living in the fulfillment of your Life Purpose.

In your unique and personalized hand analysis, Richard Unger will use a groundbreaking method of self-discovery based on twenty-five years of research and fingerprint statistics for more than fifty thousand hands.�

Be yourself. Everyone else is taken - Eric Saperston

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Eric Saperston

Imagine if you jumped in your car, fresh out of college and set off on a cross-country adventure. Along the way you stopped to have coffee with the most extraordinary, accomplished people in the world and they freely shared with you the secrets of their own success. This all happened for you because you had the courage to do the unthinkable: you humbly asked smarter people for advice.

It would have changed your life.

That�s exactly what happened to Eric Saperston. The further he travelled, the more people he met, the smaller the world became, until everyone was connected to everyone else.

Eric has a natural ability to connect with audiences and easily finds a common language to reach and inspire people right where they are. Through his sincere and genuine interest in others, Eric touches a broad cross-section of any group, reminding each of us of simple truths and ageless wisdom.

Sharing these clear, transforming principles of wisdom, humor and inspiration is Eric�s gift. He is a strong believer in the power of the individual to make a difference and is unwilling to let anyone accept anything less than an extraordinary life.

What is Burning Man?

Wed, 27 Jul 2011 18:00:00 -0800

What Is Burning Man?

Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather in Nevada's Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever. Burning Man is also an ever-expanding year-round culture based on the Ten Principles.

What Isn't Burning Man?

Burning Man isn't your usual festival, with big acts booked to play on massive stages. In fact, it's more of a city than a festival, wherein almost everything that happens is created entirely by its citizens, who are active participants in the event.

FIRST-TIMER'S GUIDE

Once a year, tens of thousands of people gather in Nevada's Black Rock Desert (also known as "the playa") to create Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever.

Even considering going to Burning Man for the first time can be daunting. And while it's true that Burning Man is not for the faint of heart, with some research, preparation, and planning, an experience -- and opportunity -- beyond your wildest dreams awaits you. In Black Rock City, you're guaranteed not to be the weirdest kid in the classroom. And you'll become a part of the growing community of Burners who are active year-round, around the world ... ensuring that the fire of Burning Man culture never goes out.

What's the best way to learn about Burning Man? First, sign up for the Jack Rabbit Speaks email newsletter to receive periodic updates and important information about the event throughout the year. Second, take a tour of this website to get a better idea of what to expect and how to get involved. We suggest you follow the links below to the Survival Guide and list of Recommended Reading, and then branch out to see how you might contribute to a theme camp, art project, build your own sturdy shade structure, turn your car into a giant spider, or paint your body to look like ... well, that's up to you. You can participate as little or as much as you want, but it is said that you really must participate to truly enjoy the experience. Finally, find the Burning Man Regional Contact nearest you, and join in the community.

What Would Gandhi Do - Pummy Kaur

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:30:00 -0800

Pummy Kaur (pronounced like �yummy� with a �P� and �core�), the author of the best selling What Would Gandhi Do? Simple Solutions to Global Problems, was born in India into a Sikh family, living in a Hindu state with a long history of Muslim influence, and completed elementary schooling in a Catholic convent in Agra. She has since lived, learned, worked, played and grown in England, Canada, The Bahamas, Australia and the U.S.A., as well as travelled to many countries.

Her extensive studies include science, religion, mathematics, psychology, global issues, metaphysics, spirituality, philosophy, creativity, and education. Kaur is a cultural creative, an educator, author, social justice activist, international speaker, dancer, a single mother of three, and a community leader who has also dabbled in radio, T.V., the art world, politics, and journalism, receiving numerous recognition for her work in various fields.

She is the Director of the Global Education Center, dedicated to education for living as if Life really matters. A frequent speaker at international conferences and regularly contributor to progressive journal, she is a very busy social justice activist, and an Argentine tango addict. Pummy Kaur lives on the West coast of B.C., Canada within arms reach of her three adored adult children.

This very timely book clearly, and succinctly demonstrates that most current local and global problems are immediately reversible, without government, business, industry or financial sector assistance. What is needed is the active will of the Western Minded to stop being so very lazy, so very addicted to convenience, and so very brainwashed by the Trash Media.

It contains unique insights and perspectives, and offers simple, highly effective, individual solutions to local and global problems; solutions that are congruent with Gandhian Principles of simplicity, seva (service), self-sufficiency, courage, and compassion. A notable feature is that much of the responsibility is placed on all our collective shoulders for the creation, and also the solving of global problems. In a simple, yet passionate style of a genuine educator, this work connects the dots between global problems and our individual choices. And, most significantly, it inspires educated, selfless, future conscious, compassionate individual actions.

This book is for those wanting to be better people, making a better world for all. This is a must read for ages eight to ninety eight, on all topics of social justice, including child rearing, diet, education, war, feminism, world hunger, nuclear weapons amassment, burial practices and much more.

Pummy Kaur�s book supplies the reader with sixty-four suggestions, which are intended to be contemplated, and implemented into their lives during the Season of Non-Violence. These sixty-four suggestions provide the reader with the means necessary to bring peace into their own lives. It is only when peace is realized in the individual that global peace can be realized.

Kaur�s words succinctly illustrate the adage that peace does not only refer to the absence of war. Rather, peace � positive peace � refers to a state in which relation- ships, institutions, and everyday actions and choices are filled with non-violent energy. Seen in this light, peace becomes the responsibility of the individual. In a day and age when the individual can feel dis-empowered in the face of atrocity,

limitless technology, and seemingly unstoppable disasters, Kaur reminds us that we are agents of change � agents that can promote either positive or negative change.

Kaur demonstrates to us that through our everyday actions and choices we as individuals indirectly perpetuate war and oppression. Her forceful assertions may themselves seem combative, disrupting the image that we hold of ourselves as peaceful and peace-promoting individuals. But Kaur�s words can function as a challenge � a challenge for each of us to start taking responsibility for our actions.

Take the example of bottled water. When we buy a bottle of water we are purchasing the resources that make up that plastic bottle. Plastic is made from petroleum. Thus we are indirectly supporting the petroleum industry. Taking the argument one step further, we are indirectly supporting the continued occupation and invasion of petroleum-rich countries.

This is a powerful argument: it places responsibility and accountability upon the global citizenry for the atrocities we see today. Upon reading this book, the reader may no longer be able to assume distance from the wars splashed upon their television screen. The individual may find it harder to blame wars wholly on corporations, tyrannical governments, and greedy leaders. This may provide the impetus necessary for fostering global peace, as peace, asserted by Kaur, starts with the individual.

Spirtual Adulthood - Mariangela Pino Landau

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Mariangela Pino Landau

Mariangela Pino Landau is a mystic, medium, ritual and ceremonial facilitator, metaphysical minister, author and poet.   Her life�s mission of psycho-spiritual growth and development and her innate passion for exploring and intimately understanding the hidden truths of existence puts her at the courageous leading edge of spirituality. With profound, empowering, soul stirring focus she addresses the fundamental questions - Who we are?; Why we are here?; How can we leap forward?; Where is our bliss?; How might we discard the veil we incarnated with?; How can we co-creatively design our lives?

Mariangela knows that each of us has a set of unique gifts and a specific purpose for being here and that we are meant to freely and dynamically self-express and contribute in significant and fulfilling ways. Our gifts and purpose are encoded in our soul blueprint, and when activated and embraced become our Soul Song.

Her purpose includes assisting others in igniting their soulfire in such a way that illuminates their gifts and aligns them with their unique destiny. Mariangela passionately expresses her purpose through her �Soulfire Sundays with Mariangela� radio show, one-on-one Soulfire Spirit Sessions�, facilitated retreats at The Center for True North in Zion National Park, Gatherings at the Well�
(online/telephonic interactive webinars), Meditative Journey CD�s and through her newest book entitled SPIRITUAL ADULTHOOD ~Gateway to Freedom~, which is available for a limited time as a free download on her website .

The Center for True North, LLC, designed and developed by Mariangela, is a non-denominational spiritual organization offering programs, services and products that promote personal authenticity, soulful self-expression and spiritual freedom for a life of purpose, fulfillment and significance. Mariangela describes �true north� as signifying an innate desire to direct one�s life in accordance with an authentic inner compass. For her, true north is not a path with an exact measurement or definite destination but rather a path of personal discovery and integration, a place where ideas, concepts and insights can intersect without invalidating one another.

In the Spiritual Adulthood journey, you will -
�    Reclaim your essence identity.
�    Discover the four spiritual adulthood passkeys.
�    Take extraordinary steps in the direction of dismantling the historic paradigm.
�    Fully embrace your spiritual significance and profound purpose.

Mediumship - Connecting to the Other Side

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Mediumship is a gift for both the living and those on the other side.

The ability to communicate with our deceased loved ones can bring great clarity, healing, guidance and support, and can also reassure and comfort the spirits involved. Mediumship skills and knowledge can be a gift for lost souls who are lingering on earth and have not made their transition - we on earth can assist their transition back home. Ultimately, mediumship helps us to understand our own journey of life after "death", and to know that in fact, there is no death. Join us as we explore why mediumship is a skill we all can develop, how to develop it, and why it is crucial at this point in the evolution of consciousness.

Post Riot: What Now? - Tasha Simms

Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Tasha Simms

is an actor, writer, teacher and a Transpersonal Psychotherapist with a private counseling practice in downtown Vancouver.

She works with groups facilitating personal growth workshops as well as individuals and couples. Being a transpersonal therapist simply means opening to the bigger picture in any problem and considering implications beyond the personal.

Her passion for using every event as an opportunity for expansion and healing will inform this call in show as we discuss Vancouver�s recent riots and the social reaction to those who were involved.

Who is responsible? Is this a call for punishment or forgiveness? And what are we called to stand for in the midst of such a painful day in Vancouver�s history. While so many feel helpless in the face of this situation we will talk about the fact that there is always choice in how one views something and there lies your freedom and power. Once you determine the lens you want to look through you can alter how you feel and find positive value and meaning in any experience.

Sealed With a Kiss - Tasha Simms

Living in downtown Vancouver, mere blocks from the storm of post Stanley Cup violence I have been impacted. I watched with horror as mobs of youth hit the streets unleashing a rage that was an assault to witness let alone be swept up in. I was worried. I knew my son had gathered with friends at a downtown hotel to watch the game and I didn�t know where he was. His story, I later learned involved running from tear gas with his shirt over his head and thankfully he was able to duck into an alley. Those in the middle of the stampede were not as lucky. As St Paul�s Hospital set up outdoor areas to wash the victims clean of the noxious spray the rampage in the downtown corridor continued. Police cars burned, looters smashed windows and a crazed mayhem seemed almost other worldly. What city was this? What country were we in?
The next morning armed with brooms and trash bags the shards of glass and litter were swept away by city workers and citizens young and old. They came from all walks of life united by a common desire to wipe away the stain of shame that had blanketed the city.
The deafening response to the rioters was a call for retribution, punishment, revenge! They must pay! The desire to find someone or something to blame was blatantly pervasive. It MUST be someone�s fault, the police, the media, hockey, testosterone, the suburbs, criminal gangs�oh heck� let�s throw in mothers who raised boys like that just cause they tend to be easy scapegoats. If we don�t find the bad guy and make them pay we will never be safe!
Well, I am going to go against the grain. Rather than look for blame I am looking for meaning. And when one looks for meaning, choice of perception is the critical element that must be brought to awareness. Honestly it is no different here than in intimate relationship. The same principles apply.

Do I believe in accountability�absolutely. And those who broke the law should be held responsible for their actions. Yet we as a society, as a city, as individuals, miss the mark if we do not look deeply at the root of this eruption. Just as in personal relationship we miss the mark if we do not look deeply inside ourselves to explain the cause of any upset with another person. We miss our own expansion if we stop at attributing blame.
Most of the rioters were young males. Most were drinking and my theory is that the destruction sprang from an inner core of powerlessness and fear. Look at bullies. Internally they are insecure and frightened and their need to avoid both that knowledge and the accompanying feelings of helplessness that it evokes often leads to brutal actions. What I saw in the crowd of yahoos was inner fear so painful and unthinkable that the drunken bravado of taking over the city streets gave some kind of respite from their internal pain. Does this excuse their choices, not at all! It does however invite some evolutionary thinking around how to best to heal this inner toxicity in our youth so that they can become whole, confident, loving and awake human beings who are a contributing force in our society. �To hell with that! Punish them,� yell the masses. I say hold them accountable and TEACH them, work with them. Invite them into mentorships with healthy adults and re introduce them to the power of community and ritual. Imagine if along with every sentence for those found responsible for the destruction came a mandated support group where avoiding oneself was no longer an option. A group, where waking up to their internal pain, the inner demons that prompted Wednesday�s outburst could actually result in growth and amends rather than retribution. Healthy shame would be encouraged for such inappropriate actions yet toxic shame which infiltrates the psyche and only breeds more reactivity would be released.
The difference is that with healthy shame you are saying, �what I did was wrong� and you take action to make amends. With toxic shame you say, �I AM WRONG �and you act it out again, needing the cover of blindness to avoid feeling the agony of this belief.
I know this is not a popular opinion, especially when people feel victimized but one must ask how does healing occur. And it is never with more vengeance or revenge or fear based reactivity wanting to lay blame. It starts with a soft heart and desire to understand. This is true in all relationships. If your perception is coming from a fear based reactive mind then that is what you will see. You will lay blame outside yourself and the intensity of that urge is in direct correlation to how much unresolved pain has been activated in you. Whenever we feel victim to someone else and their actions and lay blame as if they are doing something to you, we participating in a cycle of distorted thinking.

If we work on changing our own perceptual filter, softening our hearts and staying in charge of the only place we have any power�inside ourselves �then we become contributors to change and transformation. From that place we are called to gentle action that can ripple out and impact others in a positive way. Action must accompany thought yet deciding which thought one will be driven by is ultimately the difference between and invitation to healing and union or discord and upset. The morning following the riots as broken windows were boarded up and remnants of chaos still scarred the landscape, two police officers responded to a call. When they returned to their parked squad car it was plastered with sticky notes�notes of love and thanks for the bravery, courage and patience that the police demonstrated on Wednesday night. In many languages, with symbols and flowers, they were all an expression of inspired action. After the game cars burned with pent up hate�today they are touched by words of gratitude and love. The cruiser was carefully moved to the Cambie Police Station, sticky notes intact, where it now sits in front of the entrance, a white symbol of service and protection with tiny fragments of emotion fluttering about like wings of butterflies. People gently mill about touched by this essence of loving kindness. It is truly miraculous that we as a species are able to make such shifts in a heartbeat. It made me cry. I was so inspired to add my voice to this spontaneous tribute of appreciation that I went inside the station to ask for supplies. The gal behind the counter was happy to share paper and tape, nothing officious about her as if a bond already existed between us even through the bullet proof partition.

I poured my emotions into the sticky and smoothed it onto the car. People smiled in silent understanding. I was walking away my chest expanding with each satisfying breath. I felt good. I felt touched�and then that darned old impulse took hold.
I sprinted back and reapplied my lipstick with the help of my vintage compact. A 40�s pin up girl lounging on a chaise decorates its antique silver cover. Alas, I wasn�t wearing red that day so the boys in blue got Coral Blaze. My heartfelt thanks�sealed with a kiss. The choice to see through the eyes of love is a choice that each of us are making in every moment.
YOU CAN�T NOT CHOOSE. Either you are looking through a perceptual filter that is love or one that is fear. And if you are looking through fear all your decisions will be a reflection of that.

I CHOOSE TO LOOK THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE.
What about you?

The Way of the Happy Woman with Sara Avant Stover

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 19:00:00 -0800

Wednesday June 22, 6-7PM
Turn on the World this Summer!

Sara joins us to inspire women about how to make this their sexiest summer season ever. We�re not talking about bathing suits here, but something much simpler, and much more inward. Were talking about connecting to our deepest longing in life and letting it radiate through our being. Nature, and our own bodies and spirits, burst into their fullest expression this season. Some ways that we experience this is through flowers, abundant produce, sunny days, and warm, sultry nights. Turn yourself on and get sexy by connecting to what matters most to you and bringing it to full expression to the world and by tapping into your own innate sensuality that comes to life every moment of every day through your own five senses. A turned on person turns on the world!

From Sara: One month before my graduation from New York City�s Barnard College, I had gone to the gynecologist as part of a litany of physical exams I needed to confirm my acceptance to the Peace Corps. There I learned that I had the early stages of cervical cancer. I couldn�t believe it. I practiced yoga, ran, and ate a vegan diet. I thought I was living a healthy life.

Just a few months away from flying off to West Africa, I couldn�t fathom walking away from my dream. I asked my doctor what I could do and he answered, �nothing.� I just had to wait and come back every three months for check ups.

I was angry, furious, really. Of course there was something that I could do! I just didn�t know what�.

A few weeks later, out of the blue, I received a job offer to teach English literature, writing, and dance at an international school in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I learned I could get my required checkups there; and a couple of months later, I packed my bags and headed east.

I lived in northern Thailand for the next several years. It didn�t take long for my type A personality to slow to match Thailand�s slower rhythms. My new life showed me just how much I had been filling up my days with so many �to-dos� that I was, most of the time, literally forgetting to breathe.

Somehow I had lost sight of�or had simply never learned to notice�what really mattered, what I truly longed for in this life.

In Chiang Mai I surrendered to the healing wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Reiki, Yoga, Ayurveda (the traditional medical system of India), Buddhist Insight Meditation, detoxification programs, and simply slowing down. After a few months, my condition showed significant improvement and, one year later, I had fully recovered.

How I Reclaimed My Womanhood:
In the years since then, I have not only healed my cervical cancer, but I have also addressed my irregular menstruation, eating disorders, insomnia, anxiety, and ovarian cysts.

I have devoted my life to studying and teaching the healing practices I�ve learned to women all over the world. For More on Sara Click HERE. Look out for her book "The Way of the Happy Woman."

Spirit Plants Conference Vancouver BC June 17th-19th www.SpiritPlantMedicine.Com

The humanity community and the planet itself are facing unprecedented challenges. Many see disaster looming. But there is a powerful, authentic vision on the loose�still unknown to many�that sees a global consciousness transformation underway which may very well save and sustain the world. Author Stephen Gray (Returning to Sacred World: A Spiritual Toolkit for the Emerging Reality) is close to the centre of this vision with forty years experience on the spiritual path, particularly with Tibetan Buddhism and indigenous shamanic plant-medicine practices. Stephen will speak about the ceremonial and healing use of medicines like peyote and ayahuasca, as well as the universally accessible practice of mindfulness/awareness meditation and the power of prayer as it is understood in the indigenous cosmos. All of these teachings and practices are linked and coming together now in a potent synthesis to help us awaken to our true nature and the full realization of what we're capable of accomplishing in our own lives and for our beloved Earth.

Stephen Gray was a student, meditation instructor, and teacher of Buddhism for many years. His main practice in recent years has been with the Native American Church. Stephen has also worked with other shamanic traditions, in particular, Amazonian ayahuasca shamanism. As well as his teaching and writing, Stephen composes music for "inner journeying" and has 3 cds under the artist name Keary (keary-reedsong.com).

Relationship with fathers in worlds literature, Andre Gerard

Wed, 25 May 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Born a twin in 1953, son of a German mother and a Belgian father, he grew up far from Wurzburg and from Liege, among the forests and lakes of the coastal pulp and paper town of Powell River, B.C. Lover of endives and sauerkraut, lebkuchen and rice pie, Andre Gerard (Editor and Publisher) has an MA in English Literature from the University of Washington and over twenty-five years of private tutoring experience.

As for the skills required to manage the constant chaos associated with publishing, Andre credits marathon running with building stamina, discipline and toughness: bird banding with sharpening curiousity and a sense of adventure; and lengthy stints as a Postal Production Planning and Quality Assurance Officer and, later, as a Fish Processing Plant Manager with teaching him practical business skills. His favourite refrain is Melville's "Oh, Time, Strength, Cash and Patience."

Notes from Andre Gerard author of Fathers: A Literary Anthology - The idea for this anthology came to me some five years ago, and although I tried to resist, the idea would not go away. I am, after all, the father of two teenage children, and some of my thoughts were forged in the fiery smithy of experience. Part of the impetus, too, came from seeing how �astronaut kids,� children with fathers half a world away, responded to reading personal essays and poems about fathers. A gift for all my children, biological and emotional, this anthology was compiled as an act of affirmation. Despite being an agnostic�one who lacks the certainty to be an atheist�I believe passionately in the power of friendship, loving-kindness and literature to give meaning to our lives.

Fathers: A Literary anthology is a literary treasure trove. Wise and wonderfully varied essays and poems by five Nobel laureates and by writers such as Margaret Atwood, Alan Bennet, Angela Carter, Virginia Woolf and Franz Kafka also make Fathers a powerful self-help manual for all children trying to understand and improve their relationships with their fathers. As well, the inspired musings in this collection will help all fathers�fathers young and fathers old�better appreciate the complexities of their role and the rich rewards it offers.

with Duane and Catherine O'Kane

Catherine and Duane O'Kane will be speaking in Vancouver about Clearmind's unique international counsellor training program, Prac For Life. As usual, free lecture tickets are available if you call ahead.

The lecture explores the notion that in every moment, in every relationship, we are either being helpful or harmful. All moments count. You have the power to alter the course of your life as well as the lives of others.

Imagine treating your life and all of your relationships with this degree of urgency, respect, and integrity. These are the qualities not only of an effective and successful counsellor, but also of an effective and successful human being. Be part of the Evolution Revolution!

At the completion of the lecture, draws will be held for $3000 in grants towards tuition for the Fall 2011 program or one of our graduate workshops. Prac students who bring a guest, and attendees who are not in Prac, will be entered into two draws for $1000 grants. Those who apply that night and pay the $150 application deposit fee will be entered into a third draw for $1000.

The 2011 Prac for Life Program starts mid-October. Cost for one year of Prac for Life is $4,490. Applications received by June 30, 2011 receive a $900 discount.

Waiting for the "Magic Pill" to Love

There is a song on the radio right now, with the lyrics, �If you are going to do it somewhere, why not here? if you are going to do it sometime, why not now?� I like it because we all spend too much time thinking about making our life better in the future, like the goodies of life are out there somewhere. As if our lives start in the future.

We come up with a variety of excuses about not doing what we know we could be doing to feel happier or have more love and joy in our lives. The reason are endless and can range from, �I had a hard childhood, I have to heal my past first, people in my family don�t do that, I can�t do that, Its not possible, I�ll never get there, Its too hard, its to easy, I don�t have enough money, time, talents� or met the �right� person yet...the list goes on and on.

And even when we have help and are shown the thing that is the next step we still somehow look for a fix for the current apparent problem, really a short cut. On the front of Oprah magazine this month, the tag line is, �Can a single pill heal your past?� This is somewhat appealing if we believe once our past is healed we could somehow have a happier more successful love filled life. That ultimately something is wrong with us and we need to be fixed.

What if the process of �fixing� was an integral part of having a fulfilling, happier and more connected life. What if the process of living is what contributes to being happy��
What if all you want is available to you right now? You can fall in love right now, you can feel successful right now, joy right now. It is that simple....if you are willing to commit to what you want.
If you are going to do it somewhere how about here, if you are going to do it sometime...how about now!

The Energy of Love & the Sacred Female - Art Noble

Wed, 06 Apr 2011 19:07:00 -0800

The Sacred Female with Art Noble,

One of the earliest cuneiform symbols for woman, an inverted triangle with central cleft, also meant giver of life. Dan Brown notes in The Da Vinci Code, this symbol is called "the chalice". Anthropologists, locked into the sexual paradigm of procreation and or pleasure, automatically assume childbirth. This novel shows the symbol may also represent a giver of spiritual or psychic life as well; a form of magic to which we all have access.Too many limit their enjoyment of sexual congress out of cultural misdirection, leading this writer to believe sexual misinformation and repression is probably the root cause of mankind�s social ills. Join Andrew & Art in a talk that spans the full spectrum of love relationships, the physiology of sexual transformation and the transmission and cultivation of love, seen primarily through the lens of the Sacred Female.

Bio: Art Noble is the author of The Sacred Female ~ A Sonata of Sexual Love and Spirituality. Born in Los Angeles, Art grew up in Key West where he lived four years in the Hemingway Home. He is the son of internationally known artist, Van Noble, who opened the Hemingway Home as an Art Gallery before it became a museum. On moving, he acquired a lamp from the home. He still writes under the lamp.

Noble holds a BS in Ocean Engineering and an MBA. Professionally, he was an adventurer on the cutting edge of technology, an executive engineer and a teacher. Like Robert Service and scores of other poets and authors, he has acquired and held many jobs including technical writer and commercial diving in the offshore oil field. This gives him an eclectic view of life. He ended his diving career as an Associate Professor of Underwater Technology at Florida Institute of Technology, Jensen Beach. His poetry is published in South Florida publications, Anthologies, International magazines, and read on National Public Radio.

Jay Schwed & Sound Healing

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 19:40:00 -0800

Jay Schwed - Our body is a musical instrument, when the instrument is not tuned properly a state of dis-ease or imbalance occurs�

Each cell in our body is genetically programmed to maintain its own health and well-being. During the course of our life many environmental factors interfere with this state.

Jay says: 'My vision and intention is to open the �high heart� that connects us all together as one, again. It is my desire to learn how to give to and receive love from all of my brothers and sisters.' Come join us to restore, replenish and open to the divine spirits that hold us on this journey!

The high heart is the one heart that connects all hearts to the one, to spirit, to God. This chakra is commonly referred to as the Thymus gland or the center for the immunity system. It has been scientifically established that each of these chakras or energy centers are associated with a musical note or vibrational frequency.

About Jay: In 1994, inspired by another Esalen workshop, he bought his first set of 'singing' Crystal Bowls. In the following years he has taught himself how to play. In 1995 Jay was trained as a Reiki Master and has been training many in this technique. In 1997 Jay added to his skills by attending a 750- hour training program in hypnotherapy.

During the last 5 years Jay has been travelling throughout the United States giving performances, leading workshops and giving private sessions at nursing homes, healing centers, New Thought churches, yoga studios, recovery centers and a variety of other locations as he assists in raising the planets vibrational frequencies. He has performed at such notable places as The Deepok Chopra Center, The Edgar Cayce Center, A.R.E. , The Agape Cultural Center, and The Believe Center.

Everyone is creative. Creativity is not just the medium for artists, and musicians, and actors. Everyone that has imagination is creative. Entrepreneurs are purely creative.

If you know how to communicate creatively and effectively, you can have so much more. I help people to be brave and courageous enough to risk rejection and not die. People need to be the Host of their life, not a guest.

ABOUT BARBARA:
Barbara works with professionals in the performing arts and entertainment industry across the US and Canada.

Barbara Deutsch understands that CREATIVE PEOPLE in the arts or in business have a need to create, to express. They have a hot, bright flame that needs to be stoked inside so it won't go out. That is where Barbara comes in� whether you are working, on the verge, or struggling, Barbara helps you move it all forward. She not only fuels that fire, she is like lighter fluid burning through the barriers. With quick results she uncovers fears, removes blocks, and opens closed doors.

What a client said:
Taking Barbara's workshop was like a lightbulb going on for me. I finally understood that no one else is in charge of my career other than me. Barbara gave me the tools to know that people will want me for who I am and to stop trying to change myself for the business. As soon as I started working with Barbara, I got a new agent, started owning meetings and auditions and generally changed my outlook on life. It was some of the best money I ever spent.

Lynne McTaggart - The Bond: Connecting in the Space between us

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Our biological success story is more to do with our ability to share and empathize than just adapting to our environment � and we even have a �fairness spot� hard-wired into our brain.

These remarkable new findings are related in a paradigm-shifting book, THE BOND: Connecting Through the Space Between Us (Free Press; April 19, 2011, $26.00), by award-winning journalist Lynne McTaggart.

A desire to help others, even at personal cost, is so necessary to us that we experience it as one of our chief pleasurable activities, as essential and pleasurable as eating and having sex.

�Currently, we maintain the neo-Darwinist view of the universe as a place of scarcity populated by separate things that must turn against each other in order to survive. We�ve all simply assumed that�s life,� says McTaggart. �But that�s not the story science is telling us anymore.�

In fact, argues McTaggart, author of the international bestsellers The Field and The Intention Experiment, this drive for wholeness itself holds the key to the life of any organism or society�and also hold the key to our viable future.

About the Author:
Lynne McTaggart is one of the preeminent spokespersons on consciousness, the new physics and the science of spirituality, and the award winning author of six books, including The Intention Experiment and The Field, which have been published in eighteen and fourteen languages, respectively. She is also co executive director of two publishing companies, which publish some of the world's most respected health and spiritual newsletters, including What Doctors Don't Tell You and Living the Field. She lives in London.
Human beings are the dominant species on Earth, perhaps � but we have got there by being the fairest, and not the fittest, new findings in biology are demonstrating. To learn more about Lynn, Click HERE.

Love: What is it Good For??

Tue, 08 Mar 2011 16:30:00 -0800

Usually, there is a point in time where we all ask ourselves this question: Is a relationship more pain or gain? We as humans are pretty relationship driven and are often fixated on the attainment or the sustaining of our love relationships, yet we so often fail. We are not very good at loving and yet it is our natural state.

On one hand, statistics on divorces and philandering are exploding. On the other, we crave and strive for honest, integrity and connection. Some people would say we are not wired for monogamy that is how come we fail. Is Polyamory a more enlightened & natural way of being? Is the emergence of open relationships a new way of creating love/higher consciousness? or is monogamy closer to our natural and evolved essence? A way to create safety and sustainability in order to thrive in the universe? What are its gifts and hazards of both? How does this interact transpersonally and interpersonally? Laura & Lisa will explore these issues as well as answer emailed questions from listeners before that date.

I offer to share such perspectives in the form of communicating with the universal mind, tapping into the infinite potential of energetic healing and personal mentoring to help you on your path to achieving self-empowerment. Adronis, the Multi-Dimensional Mentor, can be your guide just as he has been mine in uncovering these truths.

Forbidden Archeology - Michael Cremo

Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:00:00 -0800

One of the prominent themes introduced in Forbidden Archeology is the phenomena of "knowledge filtration." This is the process by which scientists and others routinely accept evidence that supports their preconceptions and theories while rejecting, either consciously or unconsciously, other evidence that does not uphold their views. This process of suppression of evidence is illustrated by many of the anomalous paleoanthropological findings discussed in the book. This evidence now tends to be extremely obscure, and it also tends to be clouded by a series of negative reports, themselves obscure and dating from the time when the evidence was being actively rejected. Thus, evolutionary prejudices held by powerful groups of scientists act as a "knowledge filter" which has eliminated evidence challenging accepted views and left us with a radically altered understanding of human origins and antiquity.

Michael Cremo is on the cutting edge of science and culture issues. In the course of a few months time he might be found on pilgrimage to sacred sites in India, appearing on a national television show in the United States or another country, lecturing at a mainstream science conference, or speaking to an alternative science gathering. As he crosses disciplinary and cultural boundaries, he presents to his various audiences a compelling case for negotiating a new consensus on the nature of reality. Michael Cremo is a member of the World Archeological Congress and the European Association of Archaeologists and a research associate in history and philosophy of science for the Bhaktivedanta Institute.

After receiving a scholarship to study International Affairs at George Washington University, Michael began to study the ancient histories of India known as the Vedas. In this way, he has broadened his academic knowledge with spirituality from the Eastern tradition.

The Tantric Arts of Love are not only sexual practices, they are also healing practices that affect your physical, mental and emotional heath on a profound level. Many of us have or are experiencing pain in our sexuality, due to social conditioning, trauma, and lack of fulfillment. Tantric sexual practices can be the exact medicine that heals this. Tantric sexual practices have the ability to help many non-orgasmic women become multi-orgasmic, men to achieve and retain long, strong, and powerful erections, and couples to create a deeper sense of intimacy, connection and fulfillment. These practices also improve physical health by generating a rich abundance of life-giving & anti-aging chemistries in the body, that are not created in any other way.
Join Jacques Drouin and Devi Ward, the founders of Tantric Arts of Love, as they describe how easy and effective it is to use Tantric sexuality to improve your health, transform your life & enjoy the fullness of your sensual potential.

Devi Ward is the Co-Founder of Tantric Arts of Love, the only school for Tantric Sex offering qualified instruction in the secret Tibetan Five Element Sexual Teachings. Devi is a Certified Tantric Healer, Certified Dakini, and Advanced Tantric Sexuality Educator. She is a Featured Tantric Expert at SexySpiritualRelationships.com and SelfGrowth.com. Devi has had extensive training in Non-Violent Communication since 2005 and was an active member of Kauai NVC from 2008-2011. She offers Tantric Communication Coaching for singles and couples based on the principles of NVC. Devi has been a Sensual Movement Coach and Sacred Erotic Dance Instructor since 2005. She is the Founder of Feminine Emergence, a Movement-Healing modality that uses Tantric Movement and Sensual Dance to produce physical, emotional, and spiritual healing in relationship to sexual and sensual self-expression.

Jacques Drouin/Yeshe Dundrup has been studying and practicing the Tantric Arts for over 25 years. He is the Founder of Tantric Arts of Love, the only school for Tantric Sex offering qualified instruction in the Secret Tibetan Five Element Sexual Teachings. He is a Certified Tantric Healer, Certified Daka, and Advanced Tantric Sexuality Educator. He is a Featured Tantric Expert at Sexy Spiritual Relationships and SelfGrowth.com. In addition to having training and accomplishment in several different styles of Tantra (including East Indian Kama Sutra, Chinese Taoist, and Western) he has extensive training in the Vajrayana Buddhist, Tibetan Five Element practices. After taking refuge and receiving empowerments (initiations) into the Shangpa Kagyu lineage, he received direct instruction in the Tibetan Five Element Sexual practices from Lama Tashi Dundrup, and continues to practice them under his guidance. (Lama Tashi Dundrup has been teaching Tantric bodhisattva practice for over 20 years, and has received some of the highest and most secret teachings and empowerments of Tibetan Tantric practice.)

After reaching a degree of accomplishment in specific practices, Jacques was given Lama Tashi's blessing to begin teaching the Tantric Arts of Love, including the Five Element practices. These techniques have been practiced in secret for thousands of years, taught only by great masters in an unbroken line down to us today. This may be the first time these teachings have been openly taught in the West!

Jacques has been a natural health practitioner for over 22 years, and has included the Tibetan Five Element healing techniques in his professional practice. As a result of this, his approach to Tantra incorporates his extensive knowledge of physical health and healing. Jacques skillfully demonstrates to students how to use these sexual practices for the healing of oneself and partner.

Grow Up! How taking responsibility leads to happiness - Catherine O'Kane

Wed, 23 Feb 2011 19:00:00 -0800

Popular culture would have us believe that freedom from responsibility equals happiness. To some extent all of us have bought into the idea that we would be happier with fewer commitments and responsibilities but more possessions. This is the consciousness that is contributing not only to our unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life, but also to the downfall of our planet.

Taking 100% responsibility for our own state unlocks the door to happiness, satisfaction and true freedom. Discovering and owning your contribution to every problematic situation in your life means that you also have the power to create a different experience, by being different yourself. Growing up is growing into a sense of purpose, and the realization that lasting happiness is a by-product of contributing and giving rather than getting.

The people we admire the most, who strike us as being happiest on their life�s path, are those that have discovered what it means to be truly responsible. Join Catherine as she explains what you need to know about growing up into an expanded sense of self, in order to experience true satisfaction and creativity in your life. www.Clearmind.com

From Tragedy to Triumph: The Story of the Native American Church

Wed, 16 Feb 2011 19:01:00 -0800

From Tragedy to Triumph: The Story of the Native American Church.

The story of the Native American Church (NAC) is one of great triumph over adversity. It now stands as a refuge of sanity in a disturbed land and a lifesaving sanctuary of healing and wisdom for hundreds of thousands of Native people. It's a sacred treasure to be protected and nurtured, and has much of value to say to us in the larger culture about healing, from the personal to the planetary.
Author and teacher Stephen Gray has been walking spiritual pathways for over forty years. For the past eight years he has been a member and frequent participant in the peyote prayer ceremonies of the NAC. Stephen's new book is titled Returning to Sacred World: A Spiritual Toolkit for the Emerging Reality.

The humanity community and the planet itself are facing unprecedented challenges. Many see disaster looming. But there is a powerful, authentic vision on the loose�still unknown to many�that sees a global consciousness transformation underway which may very well save and sustain the world. Author Stephen Gray (Returning to Sacred World: A Spiritual Toolkit for the Emerging Reality) is close to the centre of this vision with forty years experience on the spiritual path, particularly with Tibetan Buddhism and indigenous shamanic plant-medicine practices. Stephen will speak about the ceremonial and healing use of medicines like peyote and ayahuasca, as well as the universally accessible practice of mindfulness/awareness meditation and the power of prayer as it is understood in the indigenous cosmos. All of these teachings and practices are linked and coming together now in a potent synthesis to help us awaken to our true nature and the full realization of what we're capable of accomplishing in our own lives and for our beloved Earth.

Raw Food: Myths and Truths - Vesanto Melina

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 19:54:00 -0800

Raw Food Diets: What's True, What's Not?

Can we survive--and thrive--on a raw food diet? Why would anyone want to? Do our bodies need the enzymes from plant foods? Are cooked foods toxic? Is food combining important for optimal digestion and health? Should we be eating buckwheat greens, sprouted legumes, raw mushrooms, and seaweeds? What do we learn from the major scientific studies about the health benefits of a diet composed entirely, or mainly, or raw plant foods? For maximum benefit, must our diet be 100 percent raw? What does a nutritionally adequate raw food diet look like?

The Three Dangerous Magi - P.T. Mistlberger

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 18:00:00 -0800

P.T. Mistlberger was born in Montreal and educated at John Abbott College and Concordia and McGill Universities. Since 1987 he has worked as a transpersonal therapist and transformational seminar teacher. He has founded several spiritual communities, traveled the world and taught thousands in Canada, the United States, Germany, Austria, England, Spain, and Israel, and is the author of two books (A NATURAL AWAKENING, and THE THREE DANGEROUS MAGI: OSHO, GURDJIEFF, CROWLEY). He has two more scheduled to be released in 2011 and 2012).

Description of book (THE THREE DANGEROUS MAGI):

The Most Dangerous man since Jesus Christ, the Sex Guru, the Ambassador from Hell, the Black Devil of Ashkhabad, The King of Depravity, and the Wickedest Man in the World. These were some of the labels given to three of the most notorious figures of 20th century spirituality: Osho (formerly known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh), G.I. Gurdjieff, and Aleister Crowley. Beneath the controversies and scandals that swirled around all three the author argues that these men, egocentric tendencies notwithstanding, were brilliant thinkers and extraordinary masters of their craft, that of the science of inner transformation, and in particular the art of balancing the so called Left and Right Hand spiritual paths. These men were not humble sages. They were bona fide crazy wisdom masters and consistently went where angels fear to tread. They did not teach with the faint praise of new age fluff or the stuffy platitudes of religious sermons, but rather with a flaming sword, and were a genuine menace to all seekers who fear to face the abyss of their own egos.

Raw Milk: Health & Accessibility - Alice Jongerden

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 18:00:00 -0800

Alice Jongerden, the founder and former operator of a 450-member Fresh
Milk cowshare in Chilliwack, BC, has been under attack by the Fraser Health Authority since 2009. In March 2010, the Health Authority obtained an order preventing Ms. Jongerden from distributing Fresh Milk for human consumption. In December 2010, Ms. Jongerden was cited for contempt for breaching the March 18, 2010 order, although no penalty was imposed. She has since ceased operations.

Ms. Jongerdens is now applying to set aside the March 18, 2010 order on the basis that the order is founded on a constitutionally invalid law. She says that she and the other members of Home on the Range have a constitutional right to make nutritional choices. Alice will join us to talk about the benefits of raw milk, any health risks involved and her path to trying to make it accessible.

Whispers of Hope: A Book by Denise Cunningham

Wed, 26 Jan 2011 19:00:00 -0800

Whispers of Hope by Denise Cunningham

Discover how to move from surviving to thriving!

Whispers of Hope is the inspirational story of one woman who overcame generational patterns of abuse, addiction, suicide, and cancer. The turning point in her life happened when, despite her intent to not repeat the past, she caught herself screaming at her three-year-old daughter. Something made her stop long enough to look into her daughter's eyes and see fear. At that moment Denise made a conscious choice to do something different. She told herself, "The abuse stops here."

If you are ready to set down the baggage from your past and experience more peace, joy, and love in your life, then this book and its transformational tools are for you. You are not broken and you are not alone. There is hope in all situations. It is whispering all the time. Are you ready to hear its messages?

Denise Cunningham, BA, RPC is a registered professional transpersonal counsellor, an energy healer, sacred group/retreat facilitator, and an inspirational speaker. Her career in the healing arts has spanned two decades and her journey through a life threatening illness gave her a renewed perspective on living that she incorporates into her work. She is the mother of two beautiful daughters who are her greatest teachers.

In life and in work Denise leads with her heart in providing a compassionate healing space of safety, acceptance, and respect. She has had the ability to see into the very heart and soul of people since she was a little girl. Denise holds the sacred Truth she sees in others, and reflects it back to them, until they are ready to see it for themselves. Her vision is to co-create a more peaceful, loving, and harmonious world by helping people to create more peaceful, loving, and harmonious lives.

Animals and the teachings of A Course in Miracles: Re-membering who we really are

Wed, 26 Jan 2011 19:00:00 -0800

A recent study showed that most Canadians feel a special bond with their companion animals, to the effect of trusting them more than they do other people. What does this mean for humanity? Is there a way to apply lessons learned from our connection with animals back into our own human community?

Academy: School of Compassion (www.soulacademy.ca) will share insights from her work with animals and their people, as well as related concepts taught by A Course in Miracles, such as forgiveness, compassion, oneness, service; and how through our connection to animals we may come closer to one another and to God.

Michael Meade - Fate And Destiny

Wed, 19 Jan 2011 19:00:00 -0800

Fate is an invisible thread woven though all the things of the world and through all the events of time. Fate is a mysterious presence found in each life and in all serious undertakings. Fate involves those things which are woven into the fabric of our soul from the beginning. Fate and the soul are woven of the same threads and fate includes the strange twist that makes each soul unique and each life unrepeatable. Denying all sense of fate and limitations in life also means denying any sense of inherent uniqueness in the soul. Our �uniqueness� is woven exactly where the thread of destiny entwines with the twists of our fate.

The greater life is found where destiny calls to each of us to become who we are in essence, to live far enough into life to reveal the inner story set within us. The older sense of fame depended upon moments of revelation in which the inborn spirit of life became recognized and celebrated as the soul approached the destination it was aimed at from the beginning and thereby reconnected to its divine origins.

According to ancient myths, each soul makes two agreements upon entering the world. The First Agreement binds the individual to a distinct destiny that becomes the soul�s great project in life. The second level of agreements entangles each person in the limitations of fate and responsibilities for family and community. If a person doesn�t face their fate, they may never find their deep resources and natural gifts. If a person doesn�t risk their destiny, they�ll never know who they are intended to be. Join us for a surprising evening of poetry, stories and discussion, an exploration of identity and meaning, of purpose and passion, and wisdom and love.

The story written on the walls of the soul is intended to be lived out as the great experiment of each life. The adventure of the self and soul involves spells and blessings; it includes gifts and wounds that reveal where the inner nature of a person insists on becoming known. In this event we will examine the life lived so far and separate the self's vital story and creative calling from the corpse of the past and the darkness of the present. We will attend to places where the soul carries its initiations and where the deep self tries to awaken us to the sacred path of knowledge and love hidden within our lives.

Themes: The First Agreement of the Soul, Unfinished Initiations, A Self in Training, The Saga of Gifts and Wounds, Vitality and the Corpse, Genius and the Dream of Life, Eros and the Soul, The Arc of Return

How to take care of your health and environment with Raw Organic Food

Wed, 15 Dec 2010 18:00:00 -0800

Raw Food Panel with Preet Marwaha,
Aaron Ash, Jamie Lepinsky & Celina Mikolajczyk

Jamie Lepinsky- Jamie's passion for Health and Raw Food stemmed from growing up as an overweight child. Beginning to look at how his eating affected his health transformed his life and launched his passion for understanding Nutrition and helping others towards a higher quality of life.

His credo is that healthy food can and should taste good and his work is to clear up misconceptions in that area by creating delicious recipes! Started Apprenticing for his Chef's Papers in Thunder Bay, and went to George Brown in Toronto for the Chefs apprentice program and began working at a well known Vegetarian restaurant called Fressen as the Sous Chef there.

After moving out to Vancouver, he began the Rooted Cafe which is located at Eternal Abundance at 1025 Commercial Drive.

Celina Mikolajczyk-For the past three years I've been on a healing journey. At age 30 I was diagnosed with cancer. I knew at that point that I had some decisions to make. I decided to do everything I possibly could to heal myself. I went ahead with conventional cancer treatments. I had surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. When I started doing research about how to heal cancer naturally, food came up again and again. And it was always about vegetables, greens, herbs, fruit, nuts, seeds, spices and super-foods, which are all from plants.
The way I see it, every step you take away from nature is a step away from health. The simpler and closer to nature we eat, the less energy our bodies use in the digestion process and in trying to manage toxins. That means extra energy that we can use for other things, like building our immune systems and healing our bodies, minds and spirits. When I experienced the connection between the food I eat and the quality of my thoughts and feelings, I knew that there was a connection between food and my ability to stay awake spiritually. Its all connected, our bodies, minds and spirits. There's no separation. I'm so grateful to be here right now, in Vancouver, surrounded by abundant healthy food choices and a like-minded community. Thank you so much!

Preet Marwaha, through his passion for food, health and saving the planet started OrganicLives as a means to facilitate change. A change that is required in the way that we connect with our food and the systems that produce our food, to enable an understanding of the impact these choices have on our health, that of the planet and all of its inhabitants. OrganicLives is the real life representation of ethical sustainable commerce that enriches lives from grower to consumer. Whether you are eating at our restaurant, shopping at our online store or taking one of our culinary workshops. at OrganicLives, we�re all about the food - how and where it�s grown and sold, the purity of the preparation process, the quality and quantity of the nutrients inside, and, of course, the taste. The mind-blowing, zen-inducing, can�t-peel-the-smile-off-my-face taste.

Today, Preet is busy promoting and supporting these values through organic sustainable agriculture projects locally in BC as well as in developing nations around the globe. Whether it is transitioning conventional blueberry farms to organic here in BC or bringing together a farming village in Thailand to create a local economy that will ensure their survival for generations to come, it is all about bringing positive change to the world. Preet is also involved with global projects with the World Wellness Project, Safe Planet Campaign and the United Nations, where he has just recently returned from Thailand speaking to the UN about the impact agriculture is having on the ozone layer and will be a keynote speaker for their upcoming Organic Agriculture conference in India.

Be Love Now - Rameshwar Das

Wed, 08 Dec 2010 19:05:00 -0800

Rameshwar Das is co-author with Ram Dass of �Be Love Now� and the classic �Be Here Now.�

In their book �Be Love Now� the two men share many of the eternal lessons they have learned with an emphasis on the fact that �love is a state of being, not a trip from here to there.� They go on to say that the truth of this path of the heart is that there is no path. There is only the heart and the love.

They specifically focus on surrendering to love and giving up the things and the ego that try to keep us separate from everything else. Rameshwar suggests that in the west surrender implies giving up power but that surrendering to a guru or the Beloved doesn�t mean giving up power to another human being. That type of surrender is about letting go of the stuff that keeps us feeling separate, alone and apart from all life. He reminds us that if you are separate and your ego has you believing you are right, you are going to be challenged in surrendering to love. Love is a state of being, not something that one does.

May we all discover, rediscover and remember the truth of our Oneness and the love that pervades every element of our existence.

Miceal joins us to discuss how misunderstandings of the mission and teachings of Jesus have impeded our ability to access our superconscious & manifest miracles in our lives and the world.

Exploring Jesus: was he a wandering Religious Teacher, Suffering Savior & Mystical Idealist or Master of the Quantum Field and the Programming of the Superconscious? - Unveiling this Mystery, and its Profound Consequences give us new insights for our empowerment as individuals and a fresh, more powerful vision of why we are in this world. What may we expect as the result of a successful living of our lives according to the new insights into reality � the very heart of Remembrance.

Dr. Ledwith�s background is an uncommon blend of conventional and ancient wisdom teachings and science. Today we are at the crossroads where all these things meet. Dr. Ledwith shares his insights with charm, wit, humour and intelligence. His extensive knowledge spans the gap between the Vatican, and Ancient Wisdom � his journey is one of truth. He has been an adviser to the Pope, a professor of theology for 25 years and president of a school in Ireland.

Your Soul's Plan: Pre-Birth Planning - Robert Schwartz

Wed, 03 Nov 2010 18:00:00 -0800

Wednesday November 3, 6:00-6:20PM CLR

Robert Schwartz, author of the book Your Soul�s Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were
Born, will discuss why we ourselves plan our greatest challenges before we�re born. Working with four gifted mediums
and channels, Schwartz researched the pre-birth plans of dozens of individuals to determine what they had planned and
why. His book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illnesses, having handicapped children, deafness,
blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents. The book presents the actual conversations people had with their future parents, spouses and romantic partners, children, friends, and other loved ones when they planned their lives together. Suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning; negative feelings are healed and replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace.

About Robert: In a personal session with a medium in 2003, author Robert Schwartz was astonished to speak with nonphysical beings who knew everything about him - not just what he had done in life, but also what he had thought and felt. They told him that he had planned many of his most difficult experiences before he was born. Realizing that a knowledge of pre-birth planning would bring great healing to people and allow them to understand the deeper purpose of their life challenges, he devoted the next three years to studying the pre-birth plans of dozens of individuals. The extraordinary insights that emerged speak to our heartfelt, universal yearning to know . . .....why.

Singing to the Plants - Steve Beyer

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 19:30:00 -0800

Singing to the Plants with Steve Beyer

Steve Beyer's new book, Singing to the plants: A Guide to Mestizo Shamanism in the Upper Amazon, emphasizes both the uniqueness of this highly eclectic and absorptive shamanism � plant spirits dressed in surgical scrubs, extraterrestrial doctors speaking computer language � and its deep roots in shamanist beliefs and practices, both healing and sorcery, common to the Upper Amazon. The work seeks to understand this form of shamanism, its relationship to other shamanisms, and its survival in the new global economy, through anthropology, ethnobotany, cognitive psychology, legal history, and my own personal experiences studying wilderness survival and plant healing in the Amazon.

Steve Beyer has a law degree and doctorates in both religious studies and psychology. Living for a year and a half in a Tibetan monastery in the Himalayas, Steve has published three books on Buddhism and Tibetan language and religion as well as been a professor at the University of Wisconsin�Madison, the University of California�Berkeley, and Graduate Theological Union.

For twenty-five years, he was a lawyer and litigator at a major international law firm in Chicago and also has been a wilderness guide and a peacemaker and community builder. Studying wilderness survival among the indigenous peoples of North and South America, and sacred plant medicine with traditional herbalists in North America and curanderos in the Upper Amazon, he received coronaci�n by banco ayahuasquero don Roberto Acho Jurama.

He has worked with ayahuasca and other sacred plants in the Amazon, peyote in ceremonies of the Native American Church, and huachuma in Peruvian mesa rituals; and undertaken numerous four-day and four-night solo vision fasts in Death Valley, the Pecos Wilderness, and the Gila Wilderness of New Mexico. Steve is also a member of the Society of Shamanic Practitioners, American Herbalists Guild, Foundation for Shamanic Studies, and Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness. http://www.singingtotheplants.com

Vine of the Soul: Encounters with Ayahuasca - Richard Meech

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 19:00:00 -0800

Conversations on Ayahuasca with Filmmaker Richard Meech director of "Vine of the Soul"

About the Film
Can a sacred plant from the Amazon heal our minds and spirits? For centuries, indigenous people of South America have used ayahuasca, a psychoactive plant medicine, to cure all manner of psycho-spiritual ills. "Vine of the Soul� is a documentary that explores this brave new world, offering insights into the nature of faith, mystical experience and self-healing through a heightened state of consciousness. Filmmaker Richard Meech follows key protagonists as they journey to Peru � and back home � capturing in verit� style both the life-altering epiphanies and nights of terror encountered after drinking the sacred brew. Running Time: 1 hr, Q & A 1 hr following screening.

Director�s statement:

When I set out to make my documentary �Vine of the Soul: Encounters with Ayahuasca,� I had two intentions. Firstly, to awaken viewers to the possibility of a direct experience of the �divine� through the ceremonial use of ayahuasca, a sacred plant medicine used in traditional Amazonian shamanism. And second, I wanted people to understand how the insights, grace and joy that arise from such encounters can be integrated into daily life. At its heart, the film itself is a shamanic act of transmission that can have a profound, sometimes life-altering effect on those who see it. http://www.vineofthesoul.com

Richard Meech, president of Meech Grant Productions Ltd., has 20 years experience as a documentary filmmaker and television producer.

In 2010 he completed Vine of the Soul: Encounters with Ayahuasca, a one-hour film about ayahuasca, the sacred psychoactive medicine from the Amazon that is changing modern lives.

Meech was the creator of the internationally acclaimed series Millennium: Tribal Wisdom and The Modern World. He and his partner, Michael Grant, produced and directed the epic cross-cultural anthropology series of 10 one-hour films seen by over 70 million viewers worldwide.

Film Screening & Book Launch

Film: 2012: Time for Change

2012: Time for Change, is an eco-sequel that challenges this recipe for disaster. Time for Change sees the Mayan Calendar�s prediction of imminent doom as an opportunity for transformation, not trauma

Directed by Emmy Award nominee Jo�o Amorim, this documentary feature follows journalist and bestselling author Daniel Pinchbeck on a quest for a new paradigm that integrates the ancient wisdom of tribal cultures with modern day science.

This provocative film proposes alternative concepts based on ecological and spiritual principles to make a world that works for all.

Featuring: Sting, David Lynch, Gilberto Gil, Ellen Page, Paul Stamets, Buckminster Fuller, Barbara Marx Hubbard and more.

Book: Notes from the Edge Times

Notes from the Edge Times collects Pinchbeck's most penetrating recent columns, articles, and essays that amount to an extraordinary mosaic view of the hopes, nightmares, and signs of breakthrough that mark our present era. Pinchbeck examines the current economic collapse (an event he had foreseen by many months), radical political and ecological alternatives, the uses of psychedelics for spiritual insight, the revival of the sexual revolution, unexplained phenomena such as crop circles and the Norway spiral, the imminent (and often-misunderstood) question of 2012, and what it means to be an artist in a time of radical change.

In Notes from the Edge Times, Pinchbeck provides fresh ideas for living more consciously now, and for constructing our own more enlightened futures, even as the world around us faces profound environmental, social, and spiritual challenges.

Tulku Lobsang, Buddhist Lama and Doctor of Tibetan Medicine, shares how a Tantrayana understanding of the body and mind is a powerful tool for addressing modern ailments.

Intention: Live Call in Show with Laura & Lisa

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 18:00:00 -0800

Live Call in Show on Intention:
with Laura Bradley & Lisa de Lusignan

Intention: what is your relationship with intention really about? Is it a new tool you use in order to have some sort of influence over what happens in the external aspects of your life? For instance, if your intention was to have a life full of an abundance of love, would your secret hope be that this intention would deliver me a loving relationship? Or is your relationship with intention a tool you use in order to have a guiding principal in your life? In this case, if my intention is to have a life full of an abundance of love, then that becomes my guiding principle and starts to influence who I am and how I respond to every relationship and event. Tune in to find out and discuss the effects of external and internal influence on your life and those around you.

Breema Technique & Emotional, Psychological & Physical Harmony

Wed, 15 Sep 2010 18:30:00 -0800

Jon Schreiber of The Breema Center & Anna Kemble

�We�ve been conditioned to never be present. We�re always in the past or future. So we don�t know we exist, and we receive life energy mechanically, without knowing it. Work with Breema and the Nine Principles allows us to taste our existence, in order to have new thoughts, new feelings, and a new posture toward life.� -John Schreiber

What Is Breema?
Breema is a profound understanding of the underlying unity of all life, expressed in a dynamic and practical philosophy that can be put into practice in any situation.

What Is Breema Bodywork?
It is a direct expression of Breema's Nine Principles of Harmony through touch and movement. The practitioner's movements and quality of touch communicate directly with the recipient's body on both physical and energetic levels. This initiates a return to physical, emotional, and psychological harmony and balance.

Jon Schreiber

Jon Schreiber, D.C., Director of the Breema Center and Breema Clinic in Oakland , California , has been teaching Breema in the U.S. and internationally since 1980. He has presented Breema to interested groups in the fields of medicine, psychology, bodywork, exercise, holistic health, and personal growth. In his active clinical practice, Dr. Schreiber uses Breema, Self-Breema, and the Nine Principles of Harmony to help his patients discover the real meaning of health.

Language of Divine Communication with Shiri Joshua

Wed, 15 Sep 2010 18:00:00 -0800

Language of Divine Communication with Shiri Joshua
Teachings from the consciousness of the animals and the Course in Miracles

Imagine this: �our only job in life is to be an Antenna!�

The Divine Intelligence communicates with us all the time and in very creative ways (often, with a sense of humour!). Communing with all kingdoms of life can be simple, immediate, and profound if we learn how to shift our awareness, sharpen our inborn intuitive gifts, and unlock the key to the sacred within.

The animals are gentle teachers of living in the stillness of a given moment, practicing Unconditional Love, and offering Selfless Service. In their purity of simply be-ing they bring us closer to a sense of shared Oneness with all life.

The Course in Miracles teaches that �the veil that has been drawn across reality is lifted� when we enter into a state of perfect communication with the source of all creation (or God). At this state of unity within we step into the magnitude that we are born to manifest as expression of God�s light. ALL that is required of us is to ask the right questions, listen to guidance, and then act upon it!

Join us for an evening of discussion, healing, and re-membering with our own �miracle-working� powers, through a unique blend of sharing �Universal Truth� teachings from the consciousness of the animals and the Course in Miracles.

Would you like to be able to tap into your own inner guidance system for better decision-making? Do you wish to invite more Joy, Peace, Fulfillment, and Meaning into your life? Have you ever had doubts about what your purpose might be? This full day experiential workshop will explore in depth teachings from the animals and A Course in Miracles on: the concept of Divine Communication, how to recognize the Voice of true guidance vs. the voice of Ego, techniques for opening up your innate communication channels, intentional co-creation using Divine Communication through aligning with our life's purpose, asking the right Questions. recognizing and embracing spiritual "tests," and what the animals have to teach us about moving from grief to healing, from fear to freedom, and from darkness to Light.

About Shiri:
Shiri R. Joshua, M.A (Couns. Psych), a psychotherapist, intuitive animal healer, speaker, writer, and teacher. Shiri is the founder and co-creator of S.O.U.L Academy: School of Compassion and the Canadian Centre for Pet Loss Bereavement. A humble �spiritual messenger,� Shiri has been dedicating her life and work to bringing teachings from the collective consciousness of the animal kingdom, the Course in Miracles, and other relevant studies of �Universal Truth� with the aim to facilitate a global shift in consciousness towards unity, compassion, love, and respect for all life (incl. Human-to-human). For more information about Shiri�s work please visit www.SoulAcademy.ca

�Do you and your partner often get stuck in the same patterns time and time again?
�Are you left feeling frustrated having trouble getting your partner to really hear what you are trying to say?
�Are you feeling disconnected and alone with your partner?
�Are you searching for ways to get over the hurt your partner has caused you or you have caused them?
�Do you long to reclaim the passion you once had in your relationship or may never have had?

These are some of the most common challenges in intimate relationships and the ONLY reason they are common problems is because we simply haven't been given the right information and the right skills. Most of us were never taught how to make it in the intimate relationship arena, and if we were, most likely we were taught by people who weren't very good at it. The first critical element in winning the relationship game is knowing the key fundamentals of what keeps couples communicating and connected.

Can Indigenous Wisdom help the world? With Antonio Guerrero

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:00:00 -0800

I began my learning path with Ayahuasca and the healing plants in the Amazon. I used to spend some of the time living with the Ayahuasca Masters in their homes (some were located within indigenous communities). I started to learn by doing daily activities such as walking through the forest with the Ayahuasca Masters, picking plants to prepare medicines, cooking Ayahuasca, and purging. As if I were a kid again, I learned again how to use my senses. Through the Ayahuasca, the daily life experiences and a lot of patience, my Masters taught me about the deep and vast wisdom of nature, about the great importance of being connected with the environment, and with the present. Even though they know so much about the Amazon through their traditional knowledge and their many life experiences, the medicines and the Master plants, one of their greatest teachings is how �invisible� they can be through their humble way of being and sharing. They never look proud of all what they know. As they say �We grow like trees, holding onto the teachings with the roots of our traditions, while connecting with the light of understanding, growing and purging�. Thanks to Don Ignacio Duri Palomeque, Don Alonso Del Rio (Popoquatl), Don Lucio Tayakope (Oambaiorokeri), Don Roberto Masia Sehue (Shaejame), Don Edilberto Vargas (Master Bechin), Don Edinson Panduro for your teachings and inspiration during the ceremony of life.

I came to the Amazon rainforest to do conservation of the endangered Amazonian Eagles in 1995. The eagle�s presence brought me to live in different Indigenous Communities, where I had the great opportunity to learn from my masters. It was amazing when understanding how everything in nature is connected and so well related in spite of all their differences. When living with nature and the Amazonian traditions, Ayahuasca is always close. I continue learning through Ayahuasca, healing myself, opening my consciousness to the mystery and wisdom of the rainforest to clarify my visions. Ayahuasca helps me to create integral projects that allow the promotion of the welfare between society and the Amazon environment.

The Sowewankeri Amazon Healing Centre staffs are local people who live as a family group. We offer the experience of living the way we live here in the Amazon, such as being able to interact with us during the daily work activities, and also with our neighbours in the local community where the Centre is located.

The Sowewankeri Family evolves with each new life experience that we are privileged to be a part of. Every person who comes and shares their own change with us; every effort given to the healing process at each of the ceremonies, is our motivation to keep on walking in health and peace.

Teen Journey - How can community be involved in working with Youth

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 18:00:00 -0800

Ela Rezmer founder of Teen Journey, is a visionary of the heart.

Her passions go into a multitude of projects always coming from a place of being sustainable through love. Ela has her master degree in Interior Architecture from the Faculty of Architecture and Industrial Design. Since then, her new fascination has been studying Sacred Geometry and incorporating that wisdom in her designs.

She is also creator of two new community organizations, one called Teen Journey focusing on Eldership and Rites of Passage for Youth, and the other Mother Wings, a group of mothers committed to raising consciousness for the lives of their children and all creation.

Ela Rezmer Design Studio is an Interior Design company that is based on integrity, professional ethics, quality of life, innovative solutions and a respect for nature�s abundance by a sustainable approach to living in design with Sacred Geometry.

Testimonial:
"Ela's design is more than beautiful ideas, it is a way for you to create the most amazing environment that nourishes your soul and calls forth your deepest creative abilities. Her heart, depth and care shows through everything she does. Whether you want a home that fulfills your family dreams or a business that fosters unleashed success, get with Ela and find out her magical capacity will create a space you will love and be grateful for forever."
Satyen Raya, Founder of WarriorSage Trainings

Using Sacred Geometry creates harmony within the structure of the environment, raising the vibration of a space, allowing for harmony of mind, body and spirit. Greek philosopher Plato said �The universe is shaped according to set geometric principles.� By tracing Gods design in nature, and recreating these set geometric principles we create the peace that is necessary to feel connected to love.

Her design is intended to serve her clients� needs on every level including mind, body and spirit. Working with this unique and personal approach is the foundation of her design philosophy: Live in the moment. By placing faith in current circumstances-whether good or bad- Ela believes that solutions confidently arise and deliver the best outcome through the design process.

Teen Journey

Journey to your own heart.

Hear about this incredible experience for teens!!

Teen Journey is a Community that began in 2009.

Revolving around a 7 day Summer Camp, it is a 12 month program that offers follow up support, share circles and events until the next years camp.

The entire program is built to support �self inquiry from the heart� for adolescents, deepening their understanding of the question, �Who am I?�

What TJ believes is necessary in order to enter this question fully is based on Rites of Passage and Eldership. A sense of Community and flow from one generation to the next.

We recognize the immense call within adolescents to expand and grow during this period in their lives and also, how desperately void of transitional markers for this growth we are in North American culture.

Teen Journey is committed to bringing the most current explorations in consciousness such as Sacred Geometry, Matrix systems and Holodynamics as well as the Ancient wisdom of many traditions. This integration of the old and new information, as well as the old and young people is what creates community. The Teen Journey staff is made up of a combination of Certified Therapists, Shamans and Elders as well as a group of dynamic young Teen Assistants who encourage participants along their way.

The way we explore �Who are you?� is through: Drumming, Meditation, Breathwork, Rockclimbing, Kayaking & Swimming, Dance, Sculpting, Integration with Nature, Cultural Ceremonies such as Native Sweats, Firewalking & African 5 element Rituals, Music & Drama, God and Goddess work, Share Circles and Storytelling

The heights of these adventures of the heart, mind and spirit are often explored instead by a use of narcotics, casual sexual exploration, or an involvement in crime when teens are left to create their own markers and initiations for what adulthood or maturation entails.

Teen Journey offers challenge, inspiration, support and guidance so that youth are able to identify and utilize their unique gifts in the world. Understanding their contribution, value and identity, they become leaders of themselves and others. Join our community now.

BodyTalk - Quantum Leap in Healthcare - John Veltheim

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 19:00:00 -0800

Quantum Leap in Health-care with John Veltheim

Health care of the future is actually already here. This system of health-care is both scientifically and philosophically based. It is a system upheld by the latest quantum scientific research, and most importantly its formula respect and align with the bodymind�s own innate wisdom and consciousness. This cutting-edge system is called The BodyTalk System.

The BodyTalk system uses the trained right brain approach of intuitive assessment. The beauty and simplicity of Quantum BodyTalk is that it does not override but, instead, respects the bodymind complex�s own innate wisdom and consciousness. It then uses the principles of quantum physics to develop strategies for restoring well-being on all levels.

Until now the term holistic medicine has been incorrectly used as a synonym for alternative health-care. Quantum medicine acknowledges the Quantum world, its significance and its application, not just in technology, but also in the way we formulate health-care modalities.

Dr. John Veltheim, founder of the BodyTalk System, invites you to enter the world of quantum medicine. Come and discover how you can change your life in quantum leaps. This talk is a must for health care practitioners and anyone who wishes to transform their health and well-being.

Animal Whispering and Connection with Nature

Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:00:00 -0800

Animal Whispering and Connection with Nature- Susan & Hannelore
Wednesday August 11, 2010 102.7FM

Susan:

I have been communicating with whales and dolphins for 12 years, and have had the honor to swim with them. I also am an animal whisperer, and healer, as well as human healer/psychic. My main purpose is to connect people to the natural world through sacred encounters with the dolphins and whales. What I intend is for people to love , honor, and cherish the oceans, the earth, and the animals, to protect and be guardians. When I take people to swim with the dolphins I observe the transformation that occurs. the dolphins play with us blowing bubbles and spiralling around us, there is a feeling of deep joy, of releasing our old ways, our egos. What is left is we feel expanded, free, alive, ecstatic, and when we go back to our daily lives we now are in service to helping our planet. We simplify, we buy less, we unplug from the superficial ,materialistic, society, We become creative, inspired, and we feel one with all of creation.

This creates a more loving,sustainable,heartcentered world.I have had many teachers and I follow the teachings of Leslie-Temple Thurston of Corelight.org primarily because she teaches sacred activism and is not only enlightened but has helped the white lions of South Africa, and the children and people that suffer all over this planet. Her money goes to help the planet. I want people to find a cause and commit to it, whether it be helping the way farm animals are being treated, or the seal hunt in Canada . I pray for people to have compassion for all living creatures, all give gratitude every moment for our oceans, earth, animals, in gratitude for the gift of being alive upon this blessed, sacred, sweet planet.

Hannelore:

Hannelore M.S.C. M.S.H.

For as long as I can remember, I�ve had a powerful connection and respect for nature. I was especially drawn to the ocean and to the Dolphins and Whales. In my research I learned that the dolphins are evolved loving, social and intelligent. Their Sonar, which is 4 to 5 times more powerful than any Medical diagnostics, affects human brain wave patterns of consciousness. Research indicates those who interact with Dolphins experience a deep sense of peace, ecstasy, well being and the �Bliss Phenomena� � feelings of love in its highest form.

In 1999 I had my first and ultimate Human-Dolphin connection. I experienced a profound mystical communication between souls in a one-on-one, eye to eye experience while swimming with a pod of non-captive Dolphins. They taught me how effortless it is to be in harmony and one with nature�that Nature is God made visible. Their message is of love and we are to listen with our hearts�to FEEL LOVE and LIVE JOY. Never before have I experienced such a state of ecstatic Bliss. My life forever changed. This event inspired me to create the opportunity for others to experience this magic and to open their hearts to the messages nature has to offer; to allow for a remembering of our alignment with our true nature.

Hannelore is an International Speaker, Author, Teacher and Spiritual Life Coach, offering public and corporate workshops worldwide. She is a certified Minister of Spiritual Counseling, a Reiki Master and an Ordained Interfaith Minister and is soon to publish her book, �Dolphins, Whales and Magical Tails�.

Hannelore shares her mutual love and respect for her friends the Dolphins, Whales and Nature by facilitating mystical Dolphin retreats in Hawaii and Wilderness retreats in magical places where many experience profound connections of healing, joy, awe and bliss.

Is Trust What we need?

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:02:00 -0800

Call in Show with Lisa de Lusignan & Laura Bradley
Is it Trust we need?

We hear constantly, "trust in the process," just trust, everything is going to be ok, "if you trust your intuition you are on the right path." All of this is great advice in theory but how do we really do that, and what is needed to make that stick?

Sometimes it is to learn to let go of expectations, attachments to things that hamper the happiness that we are seeking. At the time it seems to be a senseless painful experience but looking back often we can find unexpected gifts.

So if knowing that things ultimately turn out to bring us closer to ourselves and the world and potentially bring us more joy, what is it that makes it so difficult to have trust? And what can we do to bring more trust into our consciousness? Is it trust that is the missing component to more joy?

Listen and Call in to Lisa and Laura with your questions on how to enhance your day to day happiness and fulfillment in your relationships, career and romance and what it is we need to effect that change. Tune in and the number to call in live will be given.

Sacred Activism with Andrew Harvey

Sacred Activism & Andrew Harvey
Andrew Harvey is an Oxford scholar and visionary, believes that our survival depends on Sacred Activism, a fusion of profound mystical awareness, passion, clarity and sacred practice with wise, dedicated, radical action. This fusion, he warns, may be the sole key to preservation of man and nature.

�It has become increasingly clear that only Sacred Activism--the fusion of the deepest mystical knowledge, peace, strength, and stamina with calm, focused, and radical action in every arena of society, culture, economics, and politics--can be of help in our growing world crisis. Neither a purely "spiritual" nor simply "activist" approach can solve our enormous problems. The core teachings of all the major mystical paths make it clear that there is, within human beings, an enormous unused reservoir of pure divine power, the pure power of sacred wisdom consciousness, passion, and compassion--the power of what Jesus called the kingdom of heaven, and of what in Hinduism is known as bliss-consciousness. These core teachings also reveal that if we can learn how to use this power--or rather how to let it use us as its luminous instruments--we will harness the "energies of love" and discover for ourselves how a clear, focused, purified, divine passion devoted to transformative action on all levels can birth a new world.� More Info - www.andrewharvey.net

Shapeshifting into Higher Consciousness with Llyn Roberts

Llyn Roberts M.A., is a prominent teacher of healing and shamanism. She was introduced to the lore of 2012 in the early 80's upon learning of the parallel legend, "Shambhala", while studying Tibetan Buddhism. Then, after she and her son almost died during childbirth in 1991, starry intelligences relayed to her a profound message which she compiled into a book. The Good Remembering - A Message for Our Times (O-Books) is a compassionate, experiential guide to navigating the shifts in consciousness coinciding the time period within which we now live.

This life-altering experience compelled Llyn to seek guidance from aboriginal people in diverse parts of the world. She has worked with shamanic groups living in remote regions of the Amazon basin, the Siberian steppes, high Andes and in the ancient lands of Central America's Maya. She has undergone extensive training in traditional Quechua healing arts and has been initiated by Tibetan, Quechua and Siberian shamans and elders. Each indigenous shamanic group held cosmologies about star people and espoused predictions for these times. Llyn's work is dedicated to helping us embrace unprecedented global and personal opportunity - pointed to by the Maya and other original peoples, and surrounding the mystique of 2012.

Below is from her forthcoming, Shapeshift into Higher Consciousness:

"Spiritualists and scientists alike tell us that matter is vibrating energy, a perspective that shifts who we think we are. Human reality lenses, collective dreams of life, energy and form, are transforming. No matter how solid in appearance, reality is supple. Life is malleable. From indigenous perspective past, future and even geographical distance is not as we think. All are here and now. Time/space travel is a given; expansive reality is in the mix of everyday. Extraterrestrial beings, dead ancestors, shamans from distant cultures, zip through the night sky as balls of light. Time and space are relational, part of a multi-faceted whole. Opening heart and body opens the gateway to the pliable and dream-like qualities of everyday life. We glimpse the greater whole and gain a better grasp of why we�re here.

All indigenous peoples I have worked with say this era will purge false concepts and instigate a higher relationship with life. Despite cataclysmic circumstance, most empowering is to interpret this epoch as heralding a new cycle. Tibetan and Maya Elders alike tell us we are moving from a Dark Age to an Age of Light. Many say this Light Age is already here; we humans just have to wake up to it. Whatever dream reality we slumber in we can wake up to and change. If there is intention to this Shapeshift, it is for humanity to evolve."

Llyn has served as adjunct faculty at Union Graduate School, is a director on the board of the organization Earth Train in Panama and directs the non-profit, Dream Change, dedicated to the preservation of indigenous wisdom and the transformation of global consciousness. She teaches Shamanic Reiki and advanced Shapeshifting processes at educational institutes such as Hollyhock, Omega, Esalen and Rowe Conference Center. Llyn co-facilitates with John Perkins, with whom she has worked for 14 years, an annual Prophet's Conference journey working with Maya elders at ancient sacred sites.

Llyn's books include: The Good Remembering: A Message for Our Times; Shamanic Reiki: Expanded Ways of Working with Universal Life Force Energy; Shapeshift into Higher Consciousness (2011). A modern-day mystic and spiritual ecologist, her work inspires a deep sense of belonging with the natural world. More info - www.dreamchange.org

Sacred Activism & Akasha Arts - Zamir Dhanji

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:45:00 -0800

Sacred Activism in Vancouver- Akasha Arts Organization with Zamir Dhanji

Akasha Arts seeks to bind the sacred web of tradition and modernity through the arts. Viewing art as a form of action in the world, Akasha creates events and performances inspire us to live passionately, creatively, and to have fun while creating fulfillment. Akasha accomplishes it�s objective through cultural celebrations that bridge traditional and modern art forms, local non-profit organizations with the public, and our personal dreams with collective aspirations. Each event opens with a ritual that unites the individual with the group consciousness, helping create a tone for the evening that encourages connection. As an audience, we learn to co-create an experience that is both expansive and deeply fulfilling. Wealso believe that doing good to others is the highest religion, therefore all our events support a charitable cause. This deeply impacts the energy created by our events, whereby people feel re-ligio, or re-connected with what truly matters.

The Evolution of Consciousness with Barbara Marx Hubbard

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 18:25:00 -0800

Part Three of the Prophets Conference Series

Conscious Living Radio Listeners get 50$ off Tickets! Click here

The Evolution of Consciousness with Barbara Marx Hubbard

Buckminster Fuller has called Barbara �the best informed human now alive regarding futurism and the foresight it has produced.� Widely regarded as his philosophical heir, Barbara is a social innovator, speaker, author, educator and leader in the new worldview of conscious evolution.

A VISION FOR HUMANITY

Humanity is facing unprecedented, evolutionary changes. It is amazing�out of the famous Mayan prophecy has come the indication that we are facing the end of this world as we know it and the beginning of the new world by 2012. This date corresponds to environmental and social predictions of breakdowns and breakthroughs now widely known. Let�s assume there is some validity in these prophecies. What vision of the future, of the new world, might we see so that we can place our attention upon this vision as a strange attractor to carry us through this critical transition?

The Evolution of Consciousness

We notice that crisis precede transformation. Problems are evolutionary drivers. Intensifying pressure leads either to devolution and extinction or evolution and transformation. This is one reason that 2012 might be earthshaking and shocking to some. Furthermore, we see that evolution creates radical newness. Life out of prelife, human life out of animal life. Is it possible that from our species, a new human and a new humanity are now emerging? We can see the sequence from Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo Neanderthal, Homo sapiens, to Homo sapiens sapiens. Why should it stop with us? Is it possible that a new species has been gestating in the womb of self-consciousness through the great avatars, mystics, and visionaries for thousands of years, and that now, due the crisis, this new humanis being born in millions of us? It has been predicted as Homo progressivus (Teilhard de Chardin), Gnostic Human (Sri Aurobindo), Homo sapiens, sapiens, sapiens (Peter Russell), Homo noeticus (John White), Homo universalist (my own favourite name). It is possible that the basic shift point in this prophecy is the emergence of the �universal human,� by whatever name it is called, as a �new norm.� Perhaps we will reach critical mass for this human by 2012.

The fact is we see ourselves coming to the end of the viability and even survivability of ourselves in our current stage of self-centered self-consciousness. We are becoming �ego mutants,� as Alan Lithman calls current leadership, gaining powers we used to attribute to gods while we remain in the same state of consciousness as our ancestors.

The True Meaning of 2012 - John Perkins

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 18:00:00 -0800

Part Two of the Prophets Conference Interviews

Conscious Living Radio Listeners get 50% off tickets. Click here

John Perkins & The True Meaning of 2012

John Perkins is former chief economist at a major international consulting firm. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man and Hoodwinked and has written many books about the Maya and other indigenous cultures, including Shapeshifting, The World Is As You Dream It, Psychonavigation, and Spirit of the Shuar, which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. John is one of the world�s foremost authorities on shamanism. Trained since 1968 to bring ancient wisdom to the contemporary world, he leads tours to the Amazon, Andes, and Himalayas. He is also founder of Dream Change, a worldwide grassroots movement of people from diverse cultures and backgrounds dedicated to shifting consciousness and promoting sustainable lifestyles.

THE TRUE MEANING OF 2012

The movie �2012� has generated a tsunami of controversy over an ancient Mayan prophecy. We can thank Hollywood for stirring up our interest. Perhaps we needed a film loaded with global destruction and special effects to awaken our collective consciousness to this time of transformation. However, the theater version misses the true meaning of the message those great mathematicians and visionaries intended us to hear all those many centuries ago.

Although there are many different interpretations of this prophecy, the one most widely accepted by the Maya teachers I know is taken from the Popul Vuh, the Mayan creation myth. Far from predicting a Hollywood-style doomsday, it holds out the possibility of positive transformation. In its simplest form, the people overthrow an egotistical regime characterized by exploitation and deception and replace it with an enlightened and compassionate one. In the process, the people have to surrender their own egos and endure material and environmental hardships.

John's book HOODWINKED explores the deep underlying causes of the events that have now sent the U.S. and the entire planet spiraling toward the very things the Maya foretold � economic and environmental collapse � and what we must do to reverse this process.

We have indeed entered a critical time in human history. A tsunami is rapidly building on the horizon. Every person on earth is connected like never before, through the Internet and cell phones. Most of us have come to understand that we are perched on a shore that is threatened by a mounting wave of economic and environmental disaster.

We have only three years left until December 21, 2012. Whether or not you believe in this Mayan prophecy, we can all agree that we must turn things around. We must abandon our gluttonous, exploitative ways in favor of lifestyles and systems that will bequeath to our children and grandchildren a world they will want to inhabit. By definition, we simply must become sustainable.

A Course in Miracles with David Hoffmeister

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 18:00:00 -0800

David Hoffmeister & A Course in Miracles

David began his journey to spiritual enlightenment in 1986 when he encountered A Course in Miracles and recognized it as the tool he had been seeking for a radical transformation of his mind and perceptions.

In the early years David studied the Course with passionate intensity, often reading it for eight or more hours a day. After two years of this study, David began to seek the company of other students of ACIM, attending as many as five groups a week. He was startled to find that a Voice was speaking through him with great authority, so that many began referring their questions to him.

Among family members, friends and teachers, David was always known for questioning everything, rather than accepting conventional answers. Thus he was delighted to find in the Course support and encouragement from the Voice of Jesus for his careful examination of every idea, belief, concept and assumption in his mind. Jesus became David's internal teacher, answering his every question, guiding him to hand over the day-to-day management of all relationships, circumstances and events in his life, and providing inner discernment. http://global-miracles.net

About A Course in Miracles:

This self-study metaphysical thought system is unique in teaching forgiveness as the road to inner peace and the remembrance of the unconditional love of God.

Rediscovery & In Touch With Nature Education Programs

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 18:00:00 -0800

Thom Henley sees himself as a citizen of the world. Though he holds citizenship as an American and Canadian, his travels to more than 114 countries, overseas work and adventures, and his adoption into half a dozen indigenous tribes world-wide, seems to support his case.

The Haida people of Canada's remote Queen Charlotte Archipelago have formally adopted him. The Haida name bestowed upon Thom is: "Yaahl Hlaagaay Gwii Kaas" - "Raven Walks Around the World." To the Interior British Columbia Thompson people he is known as: "Qualum" - "Original Path." The Penan of the rainforests of Borneo have honored him with the name: "Pepejek Urip" - "Lifting Life Upright", and the Mentawai tribes people of Siberut Island, Indonesia call him: "Utut Kunan" - "Everything Good Comes to Him" Thom's Newari name, bestowed in ceremony in Nepal's Katmandu Valley, is: "Tahari Ara" - "Big Brother"; and his most recent adoption into a Tibetan family carries an honorary name given by the Dalai Lama himself: "Tenzin Chdrk" - "Strong in Spirit."

Internationally know as an environmentalist, human-rights advocate, and educator, Mr. Henley has been the recipient of seven national and international human rights and conservation awards.

He championed the largest conservation campaign in Canadian history, the 13.5 year effort to save the southern portion of the Queen Charlotte Archipelago as a national park reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 2005, the National Geographic Society judged the "Gwaii" Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site" the best national park in North America.

Together with Haida elders in 1978 Thom founded the Rediscovery program to put youth in crisis back in touch with themselves, their culture and the natural world. Today there are more than 50 Rediscovery programs operating in Canada, the USA, Europe and Asia.

Thom is the author and co-author of ten books:

As if the Earth Matters - Recommitting to Environmental Education;

The Hopi Prophecy & John Kimmey

Wed, 26 May 2010 19:14:00 -0800

Part One of the Prophets Conference Series

John �Eesawu� Kimmey. It is curious how an odd idea from an obscure source, long unknown, ignored, or considered irrelevant, suddenly emerges to general public notice. The idea itself cannot alone account for its sudden spread and wide acceptance. Nor can the media which report it. Relevant though it may be, an idea first requires a fertile ground in which to take root and grow. And this must be the unconscious level of those who at last find in it something akin to their own deeper feelings.

The Hopi Prophecy is such a phenomenon.

We all stand today on the threshold of a new era, a new cyclical change in world history. But this glimpse into the mystical worlds of the Mayas, Navajos, Onondaga, Hopis and other ancient peoples carries a warning. If we are to avert a cataclysmic rupture between the spiritual and material, between our own hearts and mind, we must reestablish our relationship with all the forms of living nature.

In order to show the parallels between the ancient teachings of the Mayan Calendar and the Hopi Prophecy, we have invited John �Eesawu� Kimmey to join us in Vancouver for the 2010: Tipping Point Conference where he will explain the Hopi Prophecy and what it means for our near future.

If there was an appropriate term to describe the lifeworks of John Kimmey it would be as a 'seedplanter.' He has an innate characteristic of a visionary/community developer, working for years with the native people of the American Southwest.

John became a student of the elders of the Hopi village of Hotevilla, Arizona and became a student and traveling companion of the late Hopi Prophet and village leader, David Monongye. At the elders' request John came to live in Hotevilla to assist them in a communication effort which reached out to the United Nations and many other world leaders.

While residing with the Hopis John was urged by the elders to return to Santa Fe and found an organization to collect and conserve native food crops of the Southwest. John founded Talavaya Center, a non-profit educational and research center which established a community seed bank of over 600 varieties of native cultivars. In 1984 Talavaya Center received the United Nations Environmental Programme Award for its successful efforts in the conservation of genetic diversity of important germplasm and the farming lore of the ancestral cultures of the Southwest.

Having received permission, John has become a foremost teacher of the Hopi Prophecy and the wisdom of the Hopi Elders which he has taught around the world and will be sharing at our 2010: Tipping Point Vancouver Conference.

Anastasia, the first book of the Ringing Cedars Series, tells the story of entrepreneur Vladimir Megr�'s trade trip to the Siberian taiga in 1995, where he witnessed incredible spiritual phenomena connected with sacred "ringing cedar" trees. Here he discovered a beautiful young woman named Anastasia, living alone deep in the forest. He spent three days with her during which she displayed the most extraordinary physical, mental and psychic powers.

She also shared with him her unique outlook on a vast range of subjects as diverse as happiness, co-creation, spirituality, sexuality, child-rearing, healing, gardening, nature and environmental issues, planetary change and much more.

This wilderness experience affected Vladimir so deeply that he abandoned his commercial plans and went to Moscow to fulfil Anastasia's request to write a book about what he had witnessed and the insights she had shared with him. She told him she would imbue his books with an energy that would uplift the spirit and cause them to sell in the millions. True to her promise this life-changing book has become an international bestseller and is now touching the hearts of millions of people world-wide.

The Keys to Total Healing - Nelie Johnson

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 18:30:00 -0800

Nelie Johnson & the Keys to Total Healing

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?

Are you asking questions such as: why is this disease happening and why now? Is it possible to fully heal? What does a person have to do to heal? Then look no further. The answers are within your grasp and in fact are far closer than you think � in your awareness of your own emotional story.

�We are sick because we are not aware. Awareness is the key to healing.�

Awareness Heals (Keys to Total Healing) provides you with the tools and insight-based processes to uncover the mental and emotional blocks that hold you in your story. In releasing those blocks you tap into your natural healing power whether to heal, add greatly to the effect of medical and other treatments, or improve your overall health and well-being.

Whether you want release from unwanted patterns in your life, �dis-ease� or disease, you can become the power in your life to be healthier and happier.

Awareness Heals is the culmination of the facilitator�s, Dr. Nelie Johson , life experience and career of over 30 years as a medical doctor and over 15 years as a seeker herself, learning and experiencing several modalities for healing.

I believe that everyone is their own healer. Healing is both the process and the result of coming into a more wholesome relationship with oneself and ultimately requires a shift in how the person feels, thinks, and �speaks� to himself. With every healing there is a change in the person�s perspective and his inner dialogue with himself.

�Your body speaks for you when you don�t speak up for yourself.�
~ Nelie Johnson MD

A Multi-Faceted Woman - Kareen Zebroff

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 18:20:00 -0800

Part #2 of the Health And Wellness Show Series

A Multi-Faceted Woman - Kareen Zebroff believes in conquering many medium-large mountains, rather than just one high (nearly unattainable) one. Fans and lecture audiences have urged her for years to share with individuals, in her own offices, the wide-spectrum knowledge she has acquired during the last 40 years through her various studies in Health and the Mind-Body Connection (based on GNM), her varied life-experience, and her intuitive talents. As a result, she has finally decided to hang out her shingle as a ...
... Life-Skills Consultant, where she applies her expert knowledge to the Mind-Body Connection of such concerns as: * Aging Gracefully * The Expression of Vibrant Good Health * Mental Clarity & Focus * Memory * Deep Relaxation * Stress * Anxiety * Sleep * Weight-Issues * Aches & Pains * A healty, affordable Diet * Menus & Recipes * Energy-Work * Grounding yourself (and others) when Fearful & Panicky * Protecting Yourself from Energy-Drainers in your life (realtives? :-) * Basic Yoga & Breathing * In-spiration * Gratitude & Prayer. That is now, but over the years she has acquired more and more experience and common-sense wisdom as a ...
... School-teacher. Kareen started her education at the University of BC with the ambition of becoming a UN interpreter (thus getting to travel a lot). Having spoken German since birth, she studied French for a total of 9 years, English for 8, Latin for 3, Spanish for 2, Geography and New Math for 1 year each (UBC made her do it), as well as Russian for 2 years - including a notable summer-session, during which she met her future husband Peter Zebroff (B.A., M.Ed.). She immediately changed her studies to Education, and became a grade VII teacher, and soon thereafter ...
... Mother of three remarkable daughters - Sylvie (M.Special Ed.), Tanya (M.Ed. in Developing Countries: Health Promotion) working with AIDS and HIV, and Petra (B.A. Psych, M.Public Health., Dr. of Human Sexuality). Kareen has had to move house 12 times during her 48-year marriage, in order that her husband might more easily climb up the educational career-ladder -- especially so, in the beginning. With their three little girls in tow, she had had to come "cold" every year or two into small communities where she knew no one. The smallest of these was the dam-town of Hudsons Hope, BC, where Kareen first began to practice Hatha Yoga upon the suggestion of her mother, who had been taking meditation lessons during a tough menopause. Mom's immediate success with Yoga inspired the dispirited and overweight young mother to become a ...
... Yogini. On the one book-rack in the two-store town Kareen had discovered Jess Stern's "Yoga, Youth and Reincarnation" about the eminent Yogini Marcia Moore -- an author of many tomes on Yoga and Astrology, who was later to become her great friend, teacher and mentor. Having done some elementary gymnastics in Phys.Ed. in private-school in Heidelberg, knowing how to lesson-plan as a grade Vii teacher, and being of the flexible mesomorph body-type, Kareen had had no trouble teaching herself from this book. She soon felt the need seriously to study Yoga, however, with such renowned gurus as Indra Devi, Marcia Moore, Swami Shyam Acharya. Encouraged by them to begin teaching Yoga, she continued to educate herself about Yoga, Nutrition (Certified Nutrition Counsellor, '86) under Dr. John Black, Energy-work, German New Medicine (GNM), Brain State Training (BST), EFT, NLP and many other modalities and adjunctive esoteric subjects. Eventually, she was to become an ...
... Author of 10 highly successful Yoga and Nutrition books in 16 languages, brought out in the beginning by the couple's own publishing company, in which she acted as editor for 10 years. Her first book, the classic 'ABC OF YOGA' was eventually to become #2 on the "Spiegel" bestseller list and to sell well over a million-and-a-half copies -- now available under the British title "A GENTLE INTRODUCTION TO YOGA'. All the while, she had however been hankering to get back to being an ...
... Actor. Kareen had started acting in high-school under the tutelage of the eminent drama-teacher Tom Kerr and began to act again in amateur-theatre throughout the Lower Mainland when the children were young. Soon landing lead-roles, she moved on to acting in College, Professional Readings at Brock House (UBC), appearing at the Fringe, in the professional "Open Theatre Company", and at the Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island. She ended up winning two "Best Actress" awards in the Vancouver BC Drama Festival - both of them in "two-handers" (two actors doing a full-length play). In "Dearly Beloved", she portrayed the actress Stella Campbell over her 36-year platonic relationship with George Bernard Shaw. In "Memoir", she played the 76-year-old French actress Sarah Bernhard with a "wooden" leg (a hockey-pad to knock on), reproducing Sarah's own stage-roles as Hamlet, Camille and Phaedra (in French). A natural sequitor to acting and teaching Yoga was to become a...
... Network TV-host/Interviewer of her own "Yoga and Nutrition" show for 16 years in Canada, and for nearly 3 years in Germany; a TV-actor in such shows as "Beachcombers", "Danger Bay", and "McGyver"; and, a film-actor in made-for-TV movies (Victoria Principal), and mainstream movies (John Travolta). Eventually she decided to start indulging her real passion of being a ...
... Writer of fiction. Having studied Creative Writing at UBC, Kareen had been writing for most of her life. Writing-courses by well-established writers like Elizabeth George and Paul St. Pierre. With two fictional manuscripts in a drawer, she is in the process of re-writing, upon the request of her agent, one of her finished novels from letter-form into the usual prose form. Just at present, however, she is taking time out to pen her eleventh book -- "Great Sex through Yoga" -- with her daughter, Dr. Petra Zebroff. During all those years she was a...
... Lecturer (30 years) and Columnist (2� years) in Common Ground magazine on a variety of subjects on "Wholistic Health of Body, Mind and Spirit", and has recently focused on a series of Talks on "Graceful Aging through Yoga and the latest Breakthroughs in Nutrition" (e.g. Cell-regeneration, Fat-loss, Great Sex, etc.). Kareen also loves to relax as a ...
... "Grammy" to her three beloved grand-children Megan, James and Tashia who lives in far-away Tanzania, where we have visited her four times. For balance, Kareen is an enthusiastic reader and writer; an opera, chamber-music and movie fan; a play-goer; a cook; a sewer and knitter; a skier, walker and hiker; a tennis-player; a swimmer, canoeist and kayaker; and a lucky member of a marvelously supportive group of old and new friends.

Solitude: Seeking Wisdom In Extremes - Bob Kull

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 18:00:00 -0800

Bob Kull
Born in Ventura, California, Robert Kull has spent years wandering North and South America working as a scuba instructor, construction worker, community organic gardening teacher, firefighter, photographer, and professor. In 1985 he lost his lower right leg after a motorcycle crash in the Dominican Republic. He began undergraduate studies at age forty and now holds a PhD from the University of British Columbia.

" In 2001 I traveled to a remote uninhabited island on the rainy, wind-swept coast of southern Chile. More than one hundred miles from other people, I built a shelter and lived alone for a year to explore the physical, emotional and spiritual effects of deep wilderness solitude. Here, through words, photographs, and videos, you can experience what it's like to live alone in the wilderness.

Solitude is sometimes dark and difficult, but there is deep joy abiding in the flickering stillness. Moments when, as unexpected gift, boundaries and buffers dissolve and All is, as it always was, sacred and alive. Solitude can remind us there is no true spiritual freedom except through surrender to our own lives just as they are - here and now - in each moment." More Info

Bob will offer a workshop during
The Wellness Show Saturday May 1st 11 am - 12 pm

Food is not the Problem: Deal with what is! With Michelle Morand

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 19:30:00 -0800

Health & Wellness Show Series #1

Food is not the Problem: Deal With What Is!

Michelle Morand is a counselor, author and educator, specializing in the field of eating disorders and related concerns for the past 15 years.

If you or someone you know struggles with a stressful relationship with food, the question �Why can�t I just stop!?� has probably come up. It is very frustrating to have a pattern of behaviour that you know doesn�t serve you and yet be unable to stop it for any consistent length of time. Understanding why you do what you do is the first step in creating lasting change with any unwanted pattern of behaviour. Without that knowledge, any change you make will be short lived as it is done more from sheer will (which only lasts so long) than from true understanding and self-love (which lasts a lifetime!).

Once we understand the �why� we can then turn to the �what now?� What Now, refers to tools and skills we need to begin to change our harmful patterns of behaviour in such a way that allows us to know, on a gut level, that these changes are lasting and secure.

In this presentation, Michelle Morand, counselor, speaker and author will share her successful approach to supporting men and women to heal from their stressful relationships with food and body image. You will gain a clear understanding of why people get caught up in using food to cope (or any other harmful coping strategy such as alcohol, drugs, procrastination or isolation) and you will also gain some of the key tools in supporting yourself or others to shift their old ways of being to new, life enhancing and, most significantly, lasting ones.

Activate your Evolutionary Process - Dr. Alexina Mehta

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:00:00 -0800

Part #1 of the Health & Wellness Show Series

Do you live with fear in your life? Are you seeking to see yourself and others in a better light? Come join Peruvian trained Shaman and Naturopathic Physican Dr. Alexina Mehta as she introduces how you can activate your light body via the Munay Ki. The Munay Ki are nine rites of initiation that transform our human energy field into that of "Homo Luminous."

The prophecies of the ancient Americas speak about a new human appearing on the planet - one who lives free of fear and resides in his or her transcendent nature. The Munay-Ki are the codes for the new human. They are delivered in the form of energetic transmissions. The ninth rite, the "Creator Rite" was transmitted for the first time in the summer of 2006 at the Holy Mountains in the Andes.

The nine initiations of the Munay-Ki have only been available to the high wisdom keepers of the Americas. They assist in enabling you to perceive the invisible world, bringing balance in your life and to the planet, and helping to heal the wounds of the past, allowing us to access our Christ Consciousness.

Come join Dr. Alexina Mehta as she shares the impeccability and power of these rites.

Making this world a better place - Brock Tully

Meredith Deasley on "Resourceful Mothering": Nutrition for Children

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 19:00:00 -0800

Meredith's major focus has been on "food" since 1999. She is a Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner (R.N.C.P.)and specializes in pediatric nutrition. She has recently finished writing a book that will assist parents in tackling food sensitivities / allergies and help them heal their children called "The Resourceful Mothers Secret to Healthy Kids." http://www.theresourcefulmother.com

After acquiring a BA in Sociology, Meredith Deasley worked in the commercial insurance industry for 10 years. It wasn't until she had two children, both with multiple food sensitivities and allergies, that she came to understand the power of food.

In 1999, Meredith gave birth to her first daughter, Taylor. Within 24 hours of her arrival, Taylor's reactions to foods became apparent. As a newborn, Taylor experienced bouts of projectile vomiting, colic, and constipation. As a toddler, Taylor became extremely constipated, to the point where she was in pain for the better part of 6 months. As a young girl, mood swings began to surface.

As a result of extensive research, Meredith learned that food sensitivities and allergies were the culprits and that Taylor, in fact, had problems with all of the common allergens.
Today, Meredith owns "The Resourceful Mother", a company whose major function is to help other parents detect, manage and eliminate reactions to food. She regularly conducts seminars at Prenatal Plus Parenting Centre, community centres, schools, CSNN and out of her home. She teaches pediatric nutrition to future nutritionists at CSNN. There has never been a family that The Resourceful Mother could not help.

Join her, Linda and Andrew for tips and tools to your children's healthiest lifestyle.

Michelle Dumond - Songs, Poems & Mantras

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 18:30:00 -0800

Musician & poet MICHELLE DUMOND and THE MOONDROPS

The moon, to whom wolves howl and poets serenade. The moon, followed by the tides -oceanic, menstrual and seasonal. The moon under which a heart can be made new by love, broken and made new again.

�The Moondrops�, Michelle Dumond�s newest release, are a compilation of poems, songs, and mantras- each an intense drop of emotion; a slice of feeling within the spectrum of human relationship. Paralleling the lunar phases, �The Moondrops� explore poignant cycles of death and rebirth- the territory we traverse under the moon's influence.

DISC A The Moondrops

Skilled in a medley of folk, gypsy-jazz, pop and classical styles, Michelle has put together an earthy �art� album that plays the heart-strings and comes across as a coherent musical statement. Instrumentation on this disc includes voice, cello, piano, guitar, erhu and percussion.

Melody, lyrical depth and harmony thread each tune, weaving the net which, from the ether, catches your ear... and heart!

DISC B the Moondrops Mantra

With such notable musicians as Pepe Danza (Udu, Moyo, Bansuri, Hang), James Hamilton (Sitar) and Edison Zhao (Erhu), �The Moondrops Mantra� has an ambient world music flavour and is comprised of both Sanskrit mantras and English chants. A soothing ambient and meditative mood pervades this second disc.

Looking at life with humour and pathos, Michelle says:

�Music is like compost, but instead of carrot peelings, it's a whole life mixed in; every experience goes into the pot, stirred with instrumental skills picked up along the way. These songs, poems and mantra melodies coalesced from vast tracks of life experience. They are poignant and deeply felt. They are flowers growing from the soil of our lives. �

Our CD Release is scheduled for Sat. May 1st at Trinity United Church (2nd and Larch), 7-9pm.

Lama Marut on Ancient Wisdom for a Modern Life

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 19:00:00 -0800

Sumati Marut (a.k.a. Brian K. Smith) is the son and grandson of Baptist ministers, a Ph.D. of Comparative Religions, motorcycle enthusiast, a former surfer, and a fully ordained Buddhist monk.

His unique background and easy, down-to-earth style has attracted thousands of followers around the world of all ages and walks of life who gather to hear his call for a revolution of true and lasting happiness. He uses Western cultural signposts, pop references, and humor to help remove cross-cultural hurdles. A perfect combination of warmth and wit, Lama Marut makes even the most esoteric brain-busters of Eastern philosophy work as practical tools for immediate transformation.

Lama Marut pulls no punches in his hardcore presentation of timeless spiritual truths and their profound relevance to our modern Western world. Ruthlessly compassionate, he insists that the goals of the spiritual life are totally realizable � here and now.

Lama Marut has been teaching religion for 25 years. As a Sanskrit scholar and Professor of Comparative Religions, he taught at Columbia University and the University of California, Riverside, where he is Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies. For the past decade, he has been as a popular teacher of Buddhist and yoga philosophy, spirituality, and meditation.

Sumati Marut teaches about Inciting Happiness: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Life and �Developing the Good Heart." Radical compassion is the focus of the Tibetan Buddhist techniques known as Lo Jong. In Eastern traditions, the location of the mind is placed at the heart, suggesting the interdependence of the two. Ultimate wisdom and ultimate love are two sides of the same coin.

Family Constellation Work - Klaus Kostka

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 19:10:00 -0800

�Family Constellation Work, as developed by Bert Hellinger, is a facilitated group process that helps to reveal and liberate us from repetitive entanglements with our ancestors and families of origin. This process can lead to profound changes in our lives in the realms of relationship, money, creativity, and spirituality. As the process unfolds we rediscover our inner radiance and clarity.�

Claus Kostka trained under the guidance of the late Dietrich Weth as well as Bert Hellinger. He is a licensed psychotherapist with a private practice spanning 25 years.

2012 Enlightened - Brad Carrigan

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 18:20:00 -0800

Brad Carrigan -Visionary author, spiritual teacher, recording artist will share deeper insights into humanity�s ancient journey, spiritual ascent, and civilization on the brink of 2012 - through an informative �2012 Enlightened Seminar� / multi-media presentation - based on his book 2012 ENLIGHTENED http://www.2012enlightened.com

Much has been said about the year 2012 - by the world�s indigenous peoples - top scientists, and great prophets like Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus - with many predicting biblical Armageddon and world cataclysms caused by solar maximum storms, and the coming orbit of the dwarf star constellation - Planet Nibiru. 2012 is also seen as a time of - Great Revealing - where anti-Christ and anti-evolutionary forces of the Illuminati, secret societies, religious and Government corruption are exposed. It is all part of the spiritual and physical transformation that allows the advent of the New Spiritual Age of peace, and enlightenment - beyond 2012.

Brad brings a lifetime of deep spiritual insight to examining this phenomena, including living and studying many aspects of spiritualism and the ancient metaphysical sciences in India, as well as Indian devotional music in the Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi languages.

2012 ENLIGHTENED encompasses and creates inspiring and beautiful insights into our ancient journey of spiritual ascent� up to and beyond modern times. Brad will share information that masterfully merges the ancient knowledge and wisdom of the past, the 2012 transformation period, and the evolution of the spirit into a deep; but easy to understand; bridge to the coming Golden Age.

At a time of great trials and tribulations within and outside of our realm of comprehension, 2012 ENLIGHTENED presents a refreshing truth and the limitless boundaries of our ascent as a civilization on the brink, and as individuals transforming into the spiritual plane of the 5th dimensional collective light consciousness.

The Presence Process & Alchemy of The Heart - Michael Brown

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 18:20:00 -0800

Michael Brown � Biographical Sketch

Until 1989 South African-born Michael Brown was living what he called �a blissfully unconscious life� as a music journalist. He then developed an acutely painful neurological condition called Horton�s Syndrome. After four years of suffering through conventional medical approaches he embarked on a quest to heal his experience. In 1993 this intention unfolded into a nine-year odyssey that took him beyond the borders of his home country. In San Francisco he studied Swedish Massage and Reiki Therapy. In the Arizona Desert he studied Breathwork,. He also crossed the border to Mexico and participated in ceremonies with the Huichol Indians.

As Michael�s quest to find relief unfolded, he began entering �present moment awareness�; a paradigm of heightened consciousness that appeared to be running parallel to the conventional and mundane world experience. He discovered that his repeated entry into this enlivened state of Being, which he accomplished through ceremonial practice and conscious breathing, resulted in a decrease of his own painful condition to the point that it subsided completely. In the late 90s Michael began to chart a methodical pathway into present moment awareness with intent to develop a practical procedure that anyone, anywhere, could follow to initiate this experience for themselves. This procedure became known as The Presence Process.

In 2002 Michael returned to South Africa and invited others to experience this inner journey. He discovered that as others embraced present moment awareness they too automatically experienced release from physical, mental, and emotional discomfort, including psychological disorders and addictions. To make this journey accessible to everyone Michael wrote The Presence Process: A Healing Journey Into Present Moment Awareness.

Michael Brown continues to live in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he shares his knowledge through personal facilitation. By means of this book, his healing contribution is available for all. Michael will be traveling extensively to speak and teach about The Presence Process. Michael's web site is www.thepresenceportal.com

A Book of Insight - Tilde Cameron & Tina Fiorda

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 18:00:00 -0800

As long as mankind has had conscious awareness, he has yearned to know and understand himself. He has sought answers to questions about his true purpose here on Earth. Questions about existence, and about God and our connection to this infinite Source. Questions about love, reality, life and death. What really happens to us when we die? Are heaven and hell real? Are we alone in this Universe or do other realities exist?

One day, in September of 2004, Tina and Tilde began receiving the answers to these, and many more questions.

A Book of Insight takes you through a fascinating journey of the soul and its evolution. Where did we come from and what is our purpose here? Chapter by chapter, step by step, A Book of Insight unravels these mysteries and provides the answers that mankind has been seeking throughout his conscious evolution.

What makes this book so fascinating is not just the subject matter it deals with, but the truly extraordinary and unorthodox manner in which it was written. A Book Of Insight was co-authored by sisters, Tina Fiorda and Tilde Cameron. They have shared in many common interests throughout their lives, but the one fascination they�ve both held from an early age is with the world of the unseen and the unknown.
As children, the writers have had many experiences of the other realm that have confused them at times but sparked their interest in the spiritual realm. It was their curiosity in this area that first caused them to begin experimenting with a Ouija board in their early teenage years. For years they played with the Ouija board, asking it questions that centered around love interests and future predictions; never taking it very seriously, until one day they were introduced to three entities who were not of this world. From that day forward, the messages they received were of a completely different nature. The Ouija board was no longer a parlor game, it was now a tool used to receive wisdom and knowledge from a realm of existence that was beyond anything the authors had ever experienced.
Although Tina & Tilde are the authors of this book, they don�t consider themselves to be the writers of this material. As a matter of fact, previous to the writing of �A Book of Insight�, Tina & Tilde had never authored a book or had any intention of joining the literary world as writers, and this is where it gets interesting. Who were these entities and what was their purpose? What is the subject matter of the material contained within the pages of this book, and where did it come from? Allow us now to introduce to you, the three entities that imparted word for word, the knowledge and wisdom of this book to Tina and Tilde:

We are not of the physical world, but we know your physical world better than you do, for our vantage point is one that spans the physical and spiritual. We are what you refer to as guides, and we are Tina and Tilde�s guides. We are Demna, Em, and Melanie, but we also encompass other guides who would speak through us to you. We have been with the writers since their births, but we have known each other for an eternity. As guides, we have guided, protected, and watched over Tina and Tilde throughout their current lifetime. We are of the unseen and spiritual realm, and have a vested interest in the future of mankind.

We have been here throughout, to guide their spiritual growth and provide answers through coincidence and synchronicity. When the writers first began their practice with the Ouija board, it was more for fun and curiosity, than it was for true communication with us. As time progressed, and they became more seriously immersed in their spiritual quests, the tone of their interactions with Ouija became more serious and spiritually inquisitive. When we felt that they were ready, we began the first transmission of this book. It is an important book of insight for the human race, and we have kept its format and delivery simple and concise as to be understood by all readers. We felt that Tina and Tilde were ready for the roles they assumed before they birthed onto this planet and into this reality. Their lifetime quest has been in pursuit of spiritual knowledge, and this has been a part of their continuing journey into the realm of what you would deem the spiritual unknown.
We have been with the authors all of their lives in preparation for the writing of this book and the dispersal of much required information and knowledge for the good of mankind, as humanity prepares itself for the next phase of its evolutionary journey. The third eye of humanity is ready to awaken itself to a dawning of a new civilization, and although there is much strife in your world, there is the room for a seed of change to sprout and bloom into a new tomorrow of peace and compatibility.
We are hopeful for mankind�s future existence on this planet, and therefore, we are here to impart knowledge that can open his understanding of his reality and his place in the world that he occupies. He is ready to move forward to begin to occupy his rightful place in the Universe of thought and civil cooperation. Mankind is ready to take his final step into a future that awaits him and that was intended for him when he left his first footprint upon this planet.

Many messengers have been among you to deliver knowledge, and many more are emerging today. From the early days of Nostradamus and before, there have been sages and prophets among you. At this time, the quantity is expanding and there are more messengers coming to Earth to awaken mankind. This book is one of many that Tina and Tilde will write. We love you, for we are all one, of and within the Source, and our hope is that you will read this book, along with the many others that would impart spiritual awakening. We would wish you light and love, and would make your journey through this book enlightening. More info - www.abookofinsight.com

We Are What we Eat & Drink - Michael Schmidt of Glencolton Farms

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:40:00 -0800

Michael Schmidt of Glencolton Farms in Ontario was in a battle with government health officials for the life of his sustainable farm. This month, January 26, 2009, he goes to trial on 20 criminal counts. His crime? Providing raw milk to the shareholders in his farm.

He delivers this milk once a week and has been doing so since 1994. On Nov. 21, 2006 his farm was raided, in the style of a drug bust, with 20 armed men from the Ministry of Natural Resources. They held him and his co-workers in confinement for nearly 7 hours, if someone needed a washroom an officer went with them and stood outside the door until they came back out and then escorted them back to the confinement area. The driveway was blocked by police cars so no one was able to leave, even though in court today the Ministry officials maintained that the farm people were free to go during that time. The trial is expected to go on for the next 6 days. The cow share owners and Michael maintain that the right to choose the food they eat is guaranteed by the Canadian Constitution, and the second half of the trial will focus on this issue. The families maintain that their health has much improved since drinking raw milk and consuming the products that can be made out of raw milk. None of them have ever been sick in all the years since 1994;
The unpasteurized saga of the Durham farmer charged with distributing raw milk a year ago ended Jan 26th 2010 when a Newmarket court found him not guilty of 19 charges.
Justice of the Peace Paul Kowarsky ruled that 55-year-old Michael Schmidt�s cow co-op does not violate Ontario�s public health or milk-marketing regulations. While it is legal to consume raw milk, selling or distributing it is not. Schmidt, who represented himself, argues that since people buy shares of the farm and pay maintenance fees in exchange for the milk, he�s technically not selling the milk.
Schmidt�s supporters surrounded him when he walked out of the courthouse and was handed a glass of his own milk to celebrate. �We want to be responsible for our food,� he told the Star. �Standing up for basic rights is a moral obligation, and that�s what we did. I could not have done this alone.� The court upheld current legislation, though it will be interesting to read the next chapter in this straight-from-the-earth au naturel food tale.

The distinguished Saskatchewan activist farmer Percy Schmeiser will give a talk on

"Food Safety , GMO's and Environmental Law"

at Vancouver Unity Church, 5840 Oak st, on Saturday,February 6. Doors open at 7PM

One of the most often remembered of the scientists and teachers featured in the award-winning film, What the BLEEP Do We Know!?, Dispenza is most recognized by his comments on how he creates his day. His approach, taught in a very simple method, creates a bridge between true human potential and the latest scientific theories of neuroplasticity. He explains how thinking in new ways, as well as changing beliefs, can literally rewire one�s brain. The premise of his work is founded in his total conviction that every person on this planet has within them, the latent potential of greatness and true unlimited possibilities.

The Future of Food - Percy Schmeiser

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:30:00 -0800

Percy Schmeiser is a distinguished speaker, Canadian farmer and seed breeder and saver who has become famous for displaying courage and tenacity in legal battles with Monsanto. Percy has travelled the world campaigning for food safety, and for the right of farmers to save and reuse their seed. More recently Percy has spoken out against the Canadian Government's advocacy of "Terminator" seed technology. He will be speaking about GMO Pharmaceuticals, Food Safety , and Environmental Law .

He is a farmer from Bruno, Saskatchewan Canada whose Canola fields were contaminated with Monsanto's Round-Up Ready Canola. Monsanto's position was that it didn't matter whether Schmeiser knew or not that his canola field was contaminated with the Roundup Ready gene, or whether or not he took advantage of the technology (he didn't); that he must pay Monsanto their Technology Fee of $15./acre. The Supreme Court of Canada agreed with Schmeiser, ruling that he didn't have to pay Monsanto anything.. .....full story

THE THUNDERBOLTS PROJECT - Michael Armstrong & Josef Tyls

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:00:00 -0800

Michael Armstrong
Long-time student of "catastrophism," and lecturer on the Electric Universe, he is publisher/producer of video and newsletter work on the science of catastrophics and the Electric Universe.

THE THUNDERBOLTS PROJECT

There are no �black holes�, there is no �dark matter�, comets are not �dirty snowballs�, the sun is not a �nuclear furnace�, and the origins of world mythology are not primitive invention but can be directly linked to deep space exploration and leading-edge experiments in plasma physics. Recent discoveries in space have amazed and perplexed scientists. Current popular theories in the sciences can neither predict nor explain the phenomena we are now observing. In THE THUNDERBOLTS PROJECT, American mythologist David Talbott and Australian physicist Wallace Thornhill and their associates propose a new theory which can both predict and explain these phenomena. 5,000 year old rock art, the origins of world mythology, planetary history, spectacular nebular forms in deep space, and high energy electric discharges in the plasma laboratory � all are inextricably linked by the Electric Model. In an extraordinary synthesis of the scientific disciplines THE THUNDERBOLTS PROJECT presents us with an astonishing new perspective on ancient history and leading-edge astronomy. More Info

Josef Tyls III M.Sc. Ph.D. Industrial Engineer was born in the Czech Republic and became a Canadian citizen in 1972 . He began his technical education while still in high school attending specialty courses surrounding industrial education, focusing on metal fabrication, mechanics and electronics. His project majors were the design and development of a direct drive super charger for small engine applications and high fidelity audio monitors, for which he received top marks in his classes.
During his early career he attended specialized welding classes and electronics education classes at Vancouver�s Vocation Institute of Technology earning top marks.

In 1985 undertaking a private research project funded by his family, Josef developed a unique high definition three-dimensional holographic audio system specifically designed for healing purposes. By 1992 Josef Tyls was recruited by Dr. Carlos Fenton Mason D.Sc. of Mato Labs to design and engineer medical ozone generation systems capable of continuous use without degradation. The system designed and developed was then submitted as his project thesis of the degree of Master of Science in Industrial Engineering.

In 1994 Josef Tyls became heavily involved with research surrounding the efficacy of ozonation for potable water processing while investigating solutions to GVRD�s water crisis. It was during this research that he developed the hyper oxygenation process that became the fundamental technology platform for his company �Vancouver Oxygen research Technologies Ltd.�, which was licensed and still in use by the Avani Water Corporation in Burnaby B.C. The commercial system once tested and confirmed was utilized as the major project submitted for his dissertation for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in Industrial Engineering in 1998. In 1997 Josef Tyls became a member of the Occidental Institute Research Foundation and The Institute of the Noetic Sciences. Josef has been involved with systems technology design throughout his working career and has successfully brought to market many of the technologies for nearly 30 years. His field of expertise covers all aspects of industrial engineering, electronics design and development, biology and bio-oxidative medicine, electro-medicine, water processing, and high definition audio systems used for healing. His deep understanding of the fundamental structure of matter and its interrelationship with human consciousness is the basis of many of his unique technologies. The list of mentors, which Josef has studied and developed his technologies from: Dr. Nicola Tesla, Victor Schauberger, John Worrell Keely, Dr. Walter Russell, and many other pioneers of quantum physics.

What is GDNFO all about?

GDNFO intends to communicate the scientific and other compelling evidence that we are all connected as one and provide ways in which all people can apply this universal truth to bring about individual, global transformation, and peace. We believe that together with Communication, Connection, Collaboration and Compassion, we can visualize and create a positive future for ourselves and the world.

John Wong is an integrator of science, ancient wisdom, and spirituality, together with his own personal insights (SAWSI). After 33 years of engineering as an owner, principal, and partner, he finally gave up his lucrative career to study the intersections of these three main disciplines in order to bridge the new and the old, the west and the east, and outer and the inner realities. The purpose is to study and to understand the human civilization and its conditions and progress and how we can promote peace and empowerment to overcome the challenges in the 21st century. Moreover, how can we recover ecological harmony in our fragile planet earth while keeping the inherent industrialization and globalization in balance? John believes that the answers lie in the intersections of science, ancient wisdom, and spirituality. Science has made quantum leaps in understanding our physical universe. Ancient wisdom and spirituality can offer insights into the unseen world and the question why, and how human civilization is at a crossroad to enter another paradigm shift to bring us into a more collaborative, peaceful unity in diversity paradigm. Unfortunately, many people are unawakened to this possibility that is within our grasp. The whole premise of John�s work is one of sacrifice, service, and to improve the human condition by making a difference in what matters. During his 5 years of retirement, he has dedicated full time in researching and collecting relevant information, interacting with many people, and probing deeply into metaphysical and existential questions to find hidden answers. He summarized many complex concepts into simple digestible bits for his 10 Virtual Study Groups (VSG) as a way to educate whoever wants to listen so that a critical mass can make this awakening event horizon a reality. His meditation and hikes in the woods give him the clarity he needs to distil massive information into cogent and coherent �gems� for those who have less time. John has written hundreds of essays, some of which has been published in local websites, newspapers, and magazines. GDNFO is a perfect vehicle to take the VSG to the next level and reaching people worldwide. The accumulated knowledge and wisdom, and the connections made over the years are a boon to its mission. Acting on our intentions can and will make a difference in this world. John graduated from the University of British Columbia in Applied Science (Engineering). He is married with 4 children and lives in West Vancouver, B. C., Canada.

After a 22 year career with EDS Corporation, during that time, Fortune 500�s #1 Information Technology (IT) Services company, Kina Merdinian brings her foundation of skills and knowledge from the corporate world to this 501(c) (3). Her background includes project management, new business development, business process improvements, marketing, communications, event planning, curriculum design, development and training and much more. Throughout her life, Kina Merdinian, has been known to many colleagues, family and friends as their �Connector� � a resource for guidance and brainstorming on any number of diverse subjects. Now she has been drawn to share and connect the world �with more than just a great plumber, wellness practitioner, job lead, marketing strategy, etc.� She intended to explore and discover what would be the most important knowledge to share with everyone that would enhance their lives and make all of their respective projects and aspirations more successful and fulfilling. Beginning with her longtime interest in science and its foundation in biology at the University of Virginia--she has continued over the years to deepen this inquiry currently attending science conferences regularly, and learning about the latest scientific discoveries and corroborations with ancient knowledge. Through her avid interest, she then began to discover through the teachings of many scientists and other luminaries the fascinating mountain of evidence of a remarkable collaboration between credible science, ancient wisdom and spirituality and how it proves the universal interconnectedness of all things. She was awakened to the implications of that in her life and for all. For the last two years, before co-founding GDNFO in August of 2008, she has been working with other non-profits and doing pro-bono consulting work, and continuing her study and gathering of �good information� to bring to you.

HEAR THE WISDOM OF CHILDREN - Eliza MADA Dalian

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Eliza MADA Dalian is a powerful new voice in the field of spirituality, energy medicine, and personal transformation. She is a multi award-winning author, mystic, spiritual guide, and master-healer. Born in Armenia, she immigrated to Canada in 1976 (at age 24) where she soon came across the teachings of the twentieth-century mystics Georges Gurdjieff and Osho. Deeply affected by their words, she left behind her training in education and architecture and devoted herself to the search for truth and spiritual enlightenment. Years of focused and committed meditation blessed her with several profound experiences, which led to an ultimate awakening experience at age 33. At this time, she discovered first-hand the truth all awakened people point to: we are not our body, mind, pain, and suffering but rather a manifestation of Love, Consciousness, and Cosmic Joy. This profound and life-altering experience took her some years to integrate into the ordinary world of day-to-day life. In 1996, MADA developed a groundbreaking new healing method � DHM (Dalian Healing Method) � to help people quickly and effortlessly transform their psychological and physical pain and suffering into health and consciousness.

What sets Mada apart from other spiritual teachers is that she is also a practicing hands-on healer. What sets her apart from other healers is that she is not primarily concerned with fixing symptoms but rather with helping people heal from unconsciousness into consciousness. Mada has dedicated her life to helping others on their journey towards healing and awakening. She travels internationally, offering workshops, healing sessions, and retreats, to individuals, children, and organizations. MADA lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Winter Solstice Celebration - Jerry DesVoignes

Sacred Geometry and Coherent Emotion - Dan Winter

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Dan Winter's background is as multi-faceted as his viewpoint. Graduating with honors from the University of Detroit, Dan pursued graduate studies in psychophysiology and the origin of languages. In addition to his academic background, he has worked as a Systems Analyst with IBM, an industrial metallurgist and crystallographer. He has undertaken many diverse studies, from quantum physics to modeling at the MIT space lab to developing the early biofeedback prototype equipment as Dr. Albert Axe's prot�g�. Widely traveled, Dan has sojourned to study at the Gurdjieff School of sacred gymnastics, in Florence with Buckminster Fuller, the Gizah pyramids, Israel, the Andes and at Findhorn.

Dan is an accomplished keyboard artist, and was once a church organist and choir director, all before reaching high school. He delights in playing computer keyboard music using sonic samples taken from biological events -- heart sounds, whale and dolphin songs, etc. His creative side emerges as playfulness with ideas which can be shared at different levels.
In the 1980's, he founded an alternative newspaper entitled the "Network of Light". He established a learning center experiment in collective bio-harmony called "Crystal Hill Farm."

At Crystal Hill, Dan's extensive network grew as he hosted conferences with a prolific list of presenters on varied topics from sacred geometry to sustainable ecosystems. Through the years, Dan has lectured on the evolution of consciousness, sacred geometry and coherent emotion at many national and international conferences. The effect of coherent ordering of the Heart harmonics during the feeling of compassion was measured replicably effecting the braiding/ the programming of DNA.

The "Heart Beat Earth Project" for global coherence is a dream which Dan believes can "teach self awareness" using the internet as a tool. Through the use of a biofeedback devise connected to a home computer, the heartbeat at the moment of compassion registers a specific frequency signature that possesses very special properties. This frequency, or wave, can add and multiply itself infinitely and non-destructively, and can be experienced outside oneself. His experiments with humans sending love to trees have shown that the trees respond at a distance by entraining and aligning in phase to the heart, capacitively, at moments of peak emotion. This indeed tends to confirm that our choices to FEEL coherently may be our best leverage on fabricating ecoystems, perhaps ultimately surpassing the strength of bulldozers in shaping our world!

As thousands of hearts are connected, a database records and displays heartbeats registering the signature for compassion (via the Internet). By focusing our collective intention through compassion around the planet, the evidence suggests many possibilities, such as atmospheric repair and stabilization. This concept demonstrates the collective power of how hearts entrained with the feeling of compassion can reshape our world, a truly empowering phenomenon and perhaps a turning point in our conscious evolution.

Dan draws on many sources, including science, mythology, popular culture, and even channeled information, looking for ideas about the deep connectedness of all things and how the profound nature of our oneness can be approached from architecture or art, math or biology, electronics/computers or myth. With a powerful sense of the bridges between worlds, Dan has a talent for both poetry and rigor in his language and his twinkling eyes energy.

Currently, Dan is a consultant on multimedia and virtual reality computer animation projects and travels and lectures around the world. He has produced over 50 videotapes on numerous subjects.

The Forbidden Story of Christmas & The Hidden Years of Jesus - Dr. Miceal Ledwith

The Forbidden Story of Christmas & The Hidden Years of Jesus

If you think modern marketing and commercialism has adulterated the message of Christmas, it is nothing in comparison to the catastrophic ruination of the true message that was wrought long ago. In this weekend Seminar we will look at the real significance of the Feast of Christmas and how it has, from earliest Christian history, been disrobed of its powerful significance for human evolution and empowerment.

No one can argue against the fact that the birth of Jesus was a pivotal point in human history. What we often don�t realize is that those times into which he was born were very similar to our own in the degree to which people had given away their power to religious organizations, or other groups claiming to offer an external form of redemption. Into those times, Jesus came to blaze a trail for all people to follow. His ideal was to show how the power that is within every man and woman could be drawn forth, and how they could manifest a life of abundance, joy, and freedom from tyranny, want and disease. His purpose was never to be a suffering savior who died to appease the anger of a vengeful God.

How did he do what he did; where did the message come from, and what about all those miracles he performed? When we try to answer those questions we soon come to realize that ninety per cent of the life of Jesus is actually missing from the New Testament. In this weekend Seminar we will look at those �hidden years� of Jesus, particularly the eighteen year period between the ages of twelve and thirty, and what he experienced then in Egypt, India and Tibet.
We will examine how this journey molded the message he came to preach in Israel, which culminated in his great saying to all who would follow him down the ages: �You will do all the miracles that I do, and greater than these will you do.� (Gospel of St. John, Chapter 14). We will look at where this is or is not happening among those who claim to follow him today, and what it tells us about how badly misunderstood that message has become.

The turn of events shortly after he finished his public ministry turned his message into something very different from what he had intended. We will dissect what went wrong and identify what we can we do to rectify matters. Given the multitude of crises facing the world today, it was never more crucial to begin to bring forth the remarkable abilities that lie hidden and dormant within us all which were at the core of his message.

During Saturday Lecture we will have Special Guest Singer - Denise Hagan Singing the "Christ Consciousness" and other amazing songs.

She found that her body was perfectly aligned and was able to read ackashic records. Since then she has been studying patterns, evolution and the human system. She encourages everyone to learn how to read ackashic records through a simple technique called kinesiology or muscle testing because the physical body has the information of our past and the universe itself. The higher self has the greater truth and can also be consulted through kinesiology or muscle testing. We can come up with many solutions as a race in these times of global change.

She mentions that the information she found is very interesting. She shares information that can help this civilization come to a new level of sustainability by recognizing some of the information that is prevalent in our DNA. Her research confirms that the DNA/brain has been altered from its original divine intent in human beings and animals from a nonbenevolent alien race. She suggests according to her research the alterations that were made on the DNA are aging, disease, dysfunction, subservience to a monetary system and using less than 10% of brainpower. The DNA/brain alterations also makes us comply on an energetic level to non benevolent leaders to create war and an unintegral social system. Even if we do not vote and have found a peaceful life, we still comply on an energetic level because the DNA has been altered.

She also suggests that crystal children can have some solutions in these times of global changes because they come from benevolent systems and know of better social systems. According to her research crystal children are young and old and are not just coming in. They are being recognized right now in this time of evolution, yet it is nothing new. You might be a crystal child; the qualities are not being able to comply with oppressive circumstances, wanting to change the system for the better all the time, wanting to help this civilization in some special way. Asolaria has invented a crystal bracelet that has fifth dimensional vibrations that is called �Aliberalis bracelets� with the help of the angels in order to deactivate the alterations of the DNA/brain. The bracelet does more they can clear belief systems and diseases. After wearing the bracelet for two months a person is no longer altered in the DNA (it is the first stage) and is no longer a partner with non benevolent leaders. Aging and predisposed diseases are also deactivated. Through kinesiology one can detect this information to be true.

More information can be found on her website: www.ibelieveinangelsecoshop.com click on Aliberalis Sanctuary and then click on fifth dimensional crystals then Aliberalis bracelets. Her new website that will present a sustainable social system is called www.aliberalis.com (it will be up in about two months from November 2009)

Sacred Geometry - Ivan Rados

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:40:00 -0800

IVAN RADOS

Ivan Rados� body (in his own words) was born in Former Yugoslavia. He is an established and internationally recognized artist, an energy healer and a contemporary spiritual guide and teacher; the author of the acclaimed book Create Yourself � Secrets of Self Discovery & Healing with Sacred Geometry, published in Canada 2006, and The Transparent Man - the Last Anti-manifesto about Transcendental Art, published in UK in 1994.

Ivan was a highly rated member of an international art community at Dean Clough, Halifax, UK from 1992 to 2001. His art is part of many European museums and private collections around the world.

His friends and family have always been aware of Ivan�s extraordinary gift of healing which he has always generously shared with them. But Ivan knew that, although he had spiritually evolved at a very young age, he needed to heal another aspect of his being - his emotional wounds, before he could offer his wisdom to the world. Using art to search through his own soul, and to assist others in that process, Ivan�s healing process is a story about courage, determination and completion. It was not until he moved to Canada, that Ivan went through a profound spiritual transmutation that disintegrated his old identity, altering his perception of himself and the reality he was creating. He now uses his art (the Sacred Geometry) solely in the process of healing and spiritual guidance.

While Ivan claims he heals no-one; he merely helps people heal themselves by the power of �Infinite Consciousness�, his healing journey reads like a book of miracles. He modestly calls them �ordinarinesses�. Those �touched� by him experience anything but ordinariness. They have healed from many diseases & ailments and many continue seeing Ivan for ongoing spiritual guidance, growth and expansion of their consciousness.

Ivan Rados is not associated with any particular healing modularity and methodology, spiritual movement, religion or tradition. Ivan�s deep and authentic rooting in the unknown provides him the insight and ability to be of great service to the evolution of Consciousness in these most transformative of times. Ivan travels extensively, taking his knowingness throughout the world, teaching and facilitating classes, seminars and profoundly empowering healing/spiritual retreats. He has lived in Vancouver, Canada, since 2001.

Synchronicity Magazine and Crossing the Event Horizon - Michael Hey & Richard Woodhurst

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Michael Hey is a Vancouver writer and filmmaker. In January of 2008, he became an emissary for the Resonance Project. As an emissary, Michael has been giving presentations of Nassim Haramein's Unification Theory.

While living in Japan in 1995, Michael began to practice daily zazen meditation. Before leaving Japan, he spent a week meditating at a Zen monastery. "Sesshin" provided him with a powerful direct experience of the oneness of all things. Michael felt that any unified theory of physics would be incomplete if it did not address this profound interconnectedness.

When Michael discovered Mr. Haramein's work through one of his DVD's, he experienced a strong visceral reaction. His desire to learn more led him naturally to Hawai'i and participation in the emissary program.

Michael Hey will be presenting all four DVD's of Nassim Haramein's eight hour presentation of "Crossing the Event Horizon" (over four weeks) with discussion to follow.

"Crossing the Event Horizon"

Each evening will start with the screening of one DVD from 7 PM to 9 PM followed by discussion and sharing of music and art from 9 PM until 10 PM. The intention behind these presentations is to build community around Unification Theory. Participants are encouraged to plan to attend all four events, or at least, not to miss the first one unless they are already familiar with the basic principles of the theory - however this is not an absolute requirement. Anyone is welcome to participate on any night.

The schedule is as follows:

DVD 1: Thursday, November 5, 7 PM - 10 PM - "The Geometry of Spacetime - Unification Theory explained in layman's terms"

DVD 2: Thursday, November 12, 7 PM - 10 PM - From Crop Circles to Nebulas - fundamental geometry in the world around us"

DVD 3: Thursday, November 19, 7 PM - 10 PM - "Wisdom of the Ancients - re-examining the past"

DVD 4: Thursday, November 26, 7 PM - 10 PM - "From the Tetragrammaton to the Tree of Life - unraveling the mystery"

The location is: Unity of Vancouver, 5840 Oak Street. Please RSVP Karen Elkins: (604) 263-4358 / (604) 551-1517 (cell) or email kelkins@telus.net Suggested donations $5-10 to cover rental of the space.

About "Crossing the Event Horizon":

Nassim Haramein is a physicist whose Unification Theory turns much of our conventional physics on its head. His work has the potential to shift the current paradigm to such an extent that the mainstream physics community has been slow (over the past fifteen years) to embrace the theory. But things are changing. Many phenomena predicted by the theory are being confirmed and earlier this year, Haramein won the prestigious best paper award at the University of Liege in Belgium. Apart from publishing mathematical papers, Haramein has also spent a lot of time presenting his ideas to ordinary people. Interestingly, many people who have no physics background find themselves drawn to this work. I have attended presentations by Haramein where people cried because the concepts he presented made so much sense to them. His theory is elegant and in a way, very simple. Over the years his talk developed into an eight hour multi-media presentation called "Crossing the Event Horizon". This can be ordered directly from the Resonance Project website for $84. For additional information about the theory you can visit: http://theresonanceproject.org

While the material itself is not difficult, it does lend itself towards watching in a group. Seeing this for the first time usually generates questions. Furthermore, the theory has profound implications for the evolution of humanity, our spiritual potential and for what may lie ahead in this fascinating and intense time. This is something that is best shared, discussed and processed with other people - and it's FUN. My suggestion for anyone who is completely new to unification theory is to attend the first screening in which the basic principles of the theory are outlined in layman's terms. The other three evenings will be full of surprises (guaranteed) but if you the main idea doesn't resonate with you, then you probably don't have to see the rest. The screening and discussion on November 5 will be very good to get the basic idea and to decide whether or not you'd like to learn more.

Vancouver's InterSpiritual Sacred Dance Festival

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Vancouver�s InterSpiritual Sacred Dance Festival�a day-long community event on November 7, 2009� invites you to celebrate the diversity of Sacred Movement Practices at its first annual event. Included in the day�s activities are ceremony, lunch, participatory workshops, a zikr, and an evening performance and dance. Sacred Dance Practices included are First Nations, Hindu, Sufi, Christian, Jewish, Daoist, Hawaiian Hula, African, and Earth-based. All ages and spiritual paths are welcome. (You�ll find more specifics at the end of this article.)

Born from the heart of Tannis Hugill�Performer, Choreographer, and Dance Movement Therapist, whose career spans thirty+ years and extends from New York City to San Francisco�this festival is about nurturing understanding and acceptance of the many ways humans articulate, through movement, their relationship to themselves and with the Divine. It is also about multi-faith acceptance of diversity through direct experience in our bodies.

As we acknowledge our bodies� beauty and capacity to be in harmonic resonance while dancing with each other in sacred space, we are gifted with an opportunity to learn about, appreciate, and accept each other�s unique practice, tradition, and relationship to the Divine. Explicit and intentional exploration of sacred dance is an often-dismissed but none-the-less essential aspect of human growth, evolution, and transformation. How can we truly live in peace unless and until we embrace this aspect of our humanity?

Awake Joy - Katie Davis & Free Spirit - Sundance Burke

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Katie Davis - Biography and Spontaneous Awakening

KATIE DAVIS is a graduate of the University of Washington and spontaneously awakened over 20 years ago, without spiritual practices or teachers. A former secondary school educator, businesswoman and mother of two, she simply radically fell into the reality of who we really are. After years of integrating, she began teaching and now travels worldwide to share her message of freedom and joy with her husband, Sundance Burke.

Katie Davis is author of Awake Joy: The Essence of Enlightenment and her husband is Sundance Burke, author of Free Spirit: A Guide to Enlightened Being, who awakened in 1982 before their meeting with his first teachers, Satoshi (Osho) and Shunyata, named the Rare Born Mystic by his friend, Ramana Maharshi. Sundance and Katie travel worldwide offering their message of conscious freedom and causeless joy.

In 2004, Sundance and Katie moved to the island of Maui to write. Encouraged directly by Eckhart Tolle, their books were intimately written with their desks side by side and the expanse of the Pacific Ocean before them. Awake Joy by Katie Davis and Free Spirit by Sundance Burke published in February 2008.
More Info - www.KatieDavis.org

About Sundance Burke and Awakening

Sundance was born in Seattle, Washington under the given name, Donald Russell Burke III. He is a graduate of the University of Washington and the Gonzaga School of Law. While traveling for business in 1982, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening that fundamentally dissolved his concept of self. In 1988, he met his future wife, Katie Davis, who had similarly experienced the miracle of Self-liberation. They immediately recognized their meeting as sacred and committed their lives to deepening in Loving Presence.

Now an inseparable Spirit, they adventured the awakening in private until 1999 and then began to share the Truth of Being from their home. Soon, they were traveling up and down the West Coast of North America to meet with others. In 2004, Sundance and Katie moved to Maui to marry and write the realization of Beloved Being. Side by side their books took form and expression. Currently, they are traveling throughout our world to share the realization of Free Spirit and Awake Joy.

"Our essential Presence does not need to be understood any more than the smile of a child, the beauty of a flower, or the splendor of a sunset. The nature of such encounters is self-evident and the intellect does not serve to enhance such moments. In fact, if you bring thinking to a sunset, you are likely to miss its sacredness and beauty altogether. Without thinking, you are taken in. With thinking, you are seeking entrance." ~ Sundance Burke, Author, Free Spirit

The Global Shift Has Begun! Are you Ready? - Gregg Braden & Howard Martin

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Live interview on 102.7 FM - Wednesday Oct 7th 6-7 PM

The secrets of 2012 are unfolding. An unprecedented movement in consciousness is taking place. We are at a cross-road where both chaos and new order are emerging simultaneously. How will we answer the call?

Two of the most compelling voices of our time, Gregg Braden and Howard Martin have joined together to offer us an insightful understanding of the global shift and how we can fully participate in the creation of a new world.

First time in Vancouver:

Gregg Braden & Howard Martin

Thursday, October 15, 2009, 7 PM

Welcome to 2012 and Beyond

Unity of Vancouver - 5840 Oak Street

Tickets: $45 in advance or $55 at the door www.BrownPaperTickets.com
or BellaSpark Productions 970-443-0732 or Banyen Books 604-737-8858

Join us for a paradigm-shattering multi-media event that challenges everything you thought you knew about healing, the heart/mind/body connection, and the individual�s ability to dramatically impact the future of our planet.

The evening�s presentation will cover a wide range of provocative topics, including:

    * How dates in the past hold the key to 2012 and beyond
    * What we can realistically expect from this 2012 window of time
    * The unique Time Code Calculator that can predict the most likely dates for war and peace in our future
    * The heart�s role, physically, emotionally and spiritually in accessing the new awareness and intelligence that is emerging on our planet.

During the experiential portion of the program, Gregg and Howard will work directly with the audience to teach techniques of creating personal coherence that link us to the magnetic fields of the earth going through the "2012" changes. Participants will learn how the stress waves created by 6 billion people in the presences of these changes can actually be offset by the coherence waves of relatively few people who know how to live in their hearts.

The event is a fundraiser for The Global Coherence Initiative launched by the Institute of HeartMath. The science-based Initiative�s program is �uniting millions of people in heart-focused care and intention, to shift global consciousness from instability and discord to balance, cooperation and enduring peace.� Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series called the project, �perhaps the greatest experiment in the history of the world.�

Gregg Braden, whose work bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and technology, is the New York Times bestselling author of such groundbreaking books as The Divine Matrix, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief and Fractal Time. More info - www.greggbraden.com

Howard Martin is the Executive Vice President of HeartMath and the author of The HeartMath Solution. www.heartmath.org

Upcoming Courses:

�HUMANITY�S SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION�

Sponsor: Unitarian Adult Religious Education Program

Course Description:

How have humanity�s higher capacities developed during our time on earth? What figures and forces have generated and fostered our unfolding powers? Why has our spiritual evolution been conceived with such stunning variety across the ages? Three major Traditions have offered helpful and intriguing approaches to these questions � Religion, Spiritual Wisdom, and Science. The contents of these Traditions have been viewed as parallel, as convergent, and as divergent. Today, however, these three Traditions seem to be dovetailing. In this interdisciplinary 8-session course, Religion will be interpreted as revelatory teachings and practices; Spiritual Wisdom as esoteric or hidden insights and techniques; and Science as ever more refined methods of observation, deduction and control. Participants will be invited to examine and discuss the main outlines of all three Traditions, and to explore some possibilities of their integration.

Course Schedule:

8 Tuesdays, 7-9pm: Unitarian Church of Vancouver, 949 W 49th, Vancouver

Realizing Your Soul's purpose - Steve Hulcombe

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:00:00 -0800

�Create an awareness of the distractions and practices preventing you from living your life�s mission
and how to align yourself to your soul�s purpose.�

You will learn to identify your limiting beliefs and patterns, discover and practise powerful tools to systematically remove them. Understand how your personality and soul type influences your life and importantly what kind of career and activities will bring you greater happiness and success. Create an action plan to understand your true essence and move you towards realizing
your soul�s purpose.

Steve Hulcombe began his career in international marketing and international business. After reaching the pinnacle in this field, with almost 10 years of exceptional results, he chose to challenge himself further by offering consulting services abroad. Surprised to find that people all over the world were experiencing the same issues and problems that he was, Steve continued his research. He traveled to many countries and studied various coaching and counseling techniques, eastern teachings and trained in different natural healing modalities. In the process he healed himself of many past traumas and limiting beliefs and learned to embrace his true self.

It wasn�t until Steve started using these techniques on others that he realized he was getting much better results than conventional approaches. Amazed with the positive impact he was having on people�s lives, Steve continued refining his approach and has recognized this as his life�s mission. He founded Propel Life to further his goal of assisting others in their own process, through personal and group coaching and through energy movement techniques.

The American Guru - Master Charles Cannon

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:00:00 -0800

A living spiritual master is the rarest of human beings� their very presence entrains divine communion. In September 2009, Vancouver and Kelowna will have the rare opportunity to experience the quiet, compelling presence of the man who was named �The American Guru� in the award winning documentary, �The Spiritual Revolution�, Master Charles Cannon.

Master Charles Cannon, was coined The American Guru in the award-winning documentary film, The Spiritual Revolution. He is known worldwide as a modern spiritual visionary, holistic lifestyle educator and master of meditation. He is the originator of the Synchronicity Experience and author of the spiritual autobiography, The Bliss of Freedom. He was born March 14, 1945 in Syracuse, NY into a typical, middle-class, Italian-American family. His mystical awakening began to unfold in his childhood via apparitions of the Blessed Mother and has continued throughout his life.
Based on his spiritual experience, his primary focus has always been the exploration and study of mysticism, philosophy and comparative religion. His higher education was in comparative religion and philosophy, and his life, from his earliest years, has been marked by spontaneous, metanormal experiences of expanded, holistic and transcendental states of awareness.
Master Charles� primary teacher has been the Blessed Mother who began appearing to him in his early childhood and whose apparitional manifestation continues into the present time. His vision is holistic spirituality and his enlightening experience validates his monotheistic philosophy of life. He shares a holistic model of reality with One Source Consciousness as the substratum of a multi-dimensional reality along with the mechanics of its actualization through holistic lifestyle in human experience.
In 1970, while still in his early twenties, he traveled to India where he became one of the closest Western disciples of Paramahansa Muktananda, among the most well-known and highly acknowledged Eastern mystics of the modern era. From 1970-1982, Master Charles was extensively trained in orthodox, Vedic/Tantric philosophical contexts and was ordained a monk of the Vedic Order of Sannyasins, the oldest existing monastic, contemplative order in the world today. His monastic name is His Holiness Swami Vivekananda Saraswati. He also served as an Ambassador for Muktananda�s tradition and appeared in a number of high-profile public venues all over the world. Throughout this time, he continued to experience a progressive expansion in his mystical experience through the art and science of meditation and holistic lifestyle.
In 1983, following Muktananda�s death, Master Charles returned to the United States and founded Synchronicity�, Foundation for Modern Spirituality, a non-profit, non-sectarian, spiritual, educational organization dedicated to the contemporized, technological approach to the art and science of meditation and holistic lifestyle. Since its inception, Master Charles and the Synchronicity Experience have achieved international status. Synchronicity Contemporary High-Tech Meditation� soundtracks, featuring the acclaimed Holodynamic� Vibrational Entrainment Technology (HVET), are used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Master Charles also presents regular retreats and programs at Synchronicity�s international headquarters, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of central Virginia and in major cities throughout the world.
Master Charles stunned world audiences recently in his international media appearances when he refused to condemn the Islamic terrorists who murdered his closest associate Alan Scherr and Alan�s thirteen year old daughter Naomi during the Mumbai attacks in November, 2008. Instead Master Charles spoke of the sacredness of all life; he talked of love, compassion and forgiveness towards the terrorists. He demonstrated unconditional love and the affirmation of life.
Master Charles� seeming abandonment of the traditional context of spirituality in favor of a contemporary approach has made him one of the most innovative spiritual educators of our time. Yet the tangible, experiential impact of the man and his work is undeniable. An extremely effective and engaging speaker, Master Charles and the Synchronicity Experience have been well featured in the international media and he has presented programs at the World Health Organization; the National Institutes of Health; Columbia, Oxford, Tel Aviv and Bombay Universities; Westminster Abbey; the United Nations and the Vatican.

LOVE HAS FORGOTTEN NO ONE; The Answer to Life - Julia Day

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Julia Day (Jewel) CAEH, MMS, CST

I am certified as a CranioSacral Therapist, a Soul Directed Energy Healer & teacher, a Spiritual Healing Practitioner & ordained Inner Focus minister. My intention is to help people find inner peace and joy in whatever way works best for them, though I personally love the pure non-dual teachings of 'A Course In Miracles'. My practice is grounded in an 8 year professional training I undertook in the 1990's called Soul Directed Advanced Energy Healing. It aligns us with our Inner Teacher (or spiritual Self) through our vertical axis and heart, encouraging the unconditional love, light and wisdom of our unchanging eternal nature to flood and anchor into our 'me' consciousness as a person/body. This happy alignment within transforms our challenges into transcendent opportunities to experience greater enlightenment, peace and unity awareness in place of pain, blame, fear and suffering. CranioSacral Therapy is another wonderful healing modality from the point of view of Spirit. It soothes, revitalizes and recalibrates our central nervous system by blending with the tissues & cerebral-spinal fluid that flow through the core (vertical axis again) of our seemingly physical self. Somato Emotional Release (SER), an aspect of CST, occurs when 'energy cysts' containing stored emotional & mental content gently release. CST supports release from: chronic pain, migraines, learning disabilities, autism; shock, accidents; birth, dental & emotional traumas; anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue; ear & sinus infections; infant developmental delay, colic & other childhood concerns incl. braces; scoliosis, vertigo, asthma, TMJ, arthritis, brain & spinal injuries; insomnia, toxicity, seizure disorders, conflicted mental/emotional states, and just about everything imaginable... It encourages all systems in the body/mind to soften & gently expand with ease and increased awareness. Sessions are not 'done' by the therapist but are guided by the Inner Wisdom within both client and therapist. As a techniques-certified CranioSacral therapist, I have studied to advanced levels in CranioSacral Therapy & Somato-Emotional Release through the Upledger Institute where I am also a certified Teaching Assistant & Study Group leader (see: www.Upledger.com). I also host & arrange 'A Course In Miracles' workshops & study groups aimed at lovingly undoing the ego through choosing quantum forgiveness. For me, all healing is ultimately spiritual because, deep in our unconscious mind, all of our pain originates from the mistaken idea of imagined separation from what we really are; perfect Oneness with our True Self/Source. My job as a facilitator is simply to witness each client's absolute wholeness, perfection and innocence. Through authentic perception, which is neutral to all situations and appearances, clients naturally experience themselves anew through direct awareness of their own True Self expressing as infinite Love, transpersonal stillness, core awareness and 'simply being'.

GARY RENARD A NOTED AUTHOR & TEACHER OF A COURSE IN MIRACLES
Best-selling author of The Disappearance of the Universe and Your Immortal Reality will present his seminar - LOVE HAS FORGOTTEN NO ONE The Answer to Life
In VANCOUVER SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2009

You can learn to dissolve the illusions of time and space and return to reality which is Perfect Love. This is not love the way the world commonly thinks of it.

Gary will teach you exactly how to get to that experience, which upon the end of your physical existence will become your permanent reality. You will find that LOVE has forgotten no one.
� Learn to hear the �echoes� of God�s love � answers to your prayers in unexpected moments of inspiration & surrender
� Experience the power of True Forgiveness that leads directly to inner peace & healing
� Practice True Perception that undoes the ego
Gary shares startling revelations about the power of forgiveness to melt away the world�s mistakes. The truth is we have remained exactly as God created us, which is perfect spirit. The experience of this can be awakened to.

How do we approach change? - Lisa de Lusignan and Laura Bradley

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:00:00 -0800

How do we approach change? Do we hold on tight to the old and therefore struggle as we walk towards the future? Are we fearing the future, sure that the past was better as at least we know what to expect from it? The only thing permanent is change. Sometimes change comes as a tragically such as a death, accident, illness, or in celebration as in a birth, wedding, graduation. How we approach and perceive these changes will alter the experience, bringing either suffering or joy. It ultimately does not matter what happens in our lives on the outside, it only matters how we perceive what is happening as that dictates who we are and how we respond to any event or any person. What we believe and who we are make up our experiences.
With each change we are presented with an opportunity to heal, grow, learn, see more Love. Tune in with Laura and Lisa and find out the answer to these questions it is possible to find the joy in the middle of the struggle? How we walk through life has more impact on our happiness and fulfillment then the actual events? With fall right around the corner, school starting, children going off to college, summer romance coming to an end, or the fantasy of that coming to an end, or the excitement of a new project, all are significant changes we may be experiencing. What if you knew that every corner, every new thing that happens in your life was perfectly designed to support the reason you are here on this planet at this time. What if every heart ache, loss, success, failure was in perfect order for the development of your darma, your destiny,your greatest gift to bring to the world.
With that belief in mind every challenge becomes and opportunity for more insight, healing and inspiration. These bumps in the road can be used as stepping stones towards our goal, peace, harmony, grace, passion, whatever goal you choose. It is yours to have right in the middle of these life changes.
Lisa de Lusignan and Laura Bradley will be discussing how to walk into life changes, how to decide to choose a goal that can create a more peaceful, joyful life in the middle of any struggle and how ultimately you can choose your experience!

Sacred Commerce - Business as a Path of Awakening - Matthew and Terces Engelhart

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:00:00 -0800

When Matthew and Terces Engelhart first became sweethearts, they promised to live their lives together following and trusting intuition. Resulting from that commitment was an initial guidance to create a board game and after a year of development, the Abounding River Game was introduced. Abounding River is an interactive way of practicing �being� Abundance in your life. The accompanying Abounding River Logbook is a 42-day practice that�s shared with a partner and is meant to guide each individual through exercises in practicing focused attention on qualities we all aspire to: Love & Acceptance, Generosity, Worth, Gratitude, and Creation or Responsibility. Once the game was complete, Matthew and Terces agreed that it would be wonderful to offer a place where people could gather, eat and play the game. Coincidentally, while on their farm in Maui, Terces read a book about live foods and was so inspired she asked Matthew to eat �live� for 30 days. At the end of the month, they felt so good they decided to create the caf� and the idea for the first Caf� Gratitude was born and shortly thereafter, they opened up on 20th and Harrison Streets in San Francisco as a live foods Caf�. More info - Cafe Gratitude: http://www.cafegratitude.com/

Sacred Commerce - workshop in Vancouver

What if awakening was the context at your workplace?
What if management meant being accountable for the spiritual emergence of one's staff as well as the well being of one's company? What if conflicts in your work community were acknowledged as a chance to heal collective wounds? What if the mission of your business was to usher in a sustainable, spiritually fulfilling society. Sacred commerce is the practice of having the Eternal present in a commercial environment; it is creating money a sacrament and the exchange of goods and services as a holy opportunity. Matthew and Terces Engelhart, are the owners of Cafe Gratitude LLC, a school of transformation in the setting of an organic vegan restaurant chain in the Bay area. With humor, passion, and authenticity the Engelharts will train participants to (re)create a company that appreciates in value as the work force collectively practices keeping its attention on Source and supply. Regardless of your position at work this course will endow you with the tools to embark on the path of the realized profit. More info - Sacred Commerce: http://www.cafegratitudestore.com/saco1i.html

Themes of contemporary disorientation find unique expression through the writings and voices of local youth, offering insights into the root causes of youth violence, cynicism and apathy. A narrative mix of old stories and youthful voices is then presented to the local community in an event that is part theater, part literature and part celebration. Each presentation is followed by a discussion that includes families, teachers, community members and youth. Hearing the acute perspectives of youth can significantly change the community�s perception of both local and national issues and inspire continuing conversations across the generation gap. Voices of Youth inspires and empowers local youth, fosters ongoing cross-generational dialogues and leads to the development of unique local forms of mentoring.

He continues his work today under the auspices of the non-profit organization, the "Mosaic Multicultural Foundation".

Mosaic seeks to create cross-cultural alliances, mentoring relationships and social connections built upon personal trust and commitment to bridging unhealthy divisions in contemporary communities. The process of finding, fitting and weaving together divergent, yet necessary pieces involves making new social fabrics from existing ethnic, spiritual, psychological and political threads.

Mosaic means putting essential pieces together; forming a whole from separate, divided, even estranged parts. Each project begins with the idea that the necessary pieces can be found, even if that means looking in troublesome or unexpected places Mosaic events draw inspiration from the traditions of many cultures and incorporate knowledge learned in the trenches of contemporary community work. The 'genius' of the situation is sought whether it be that of an individual, an organization or a community. Revealing the 'resident genius' and unique spirit becomes a key to understanding problems and fitting the pieces together in new ways.

Through this process, personal stories, the history of the group and important goals find appropriate places within the shape of a story which all can see, contribute to and learn from.Current projects focus on youth at risk, 'genius based' mentoring and developing the 'arts of community' in diverse organizations and groups.

Andy Warren - I'm a musician and web developer in Vancouver, Canada. I've been practicing yoga since 2000, primarily Ashtanga, but I have a deep respect for all forms and traditions.

The Divine Feminine: Wisdom in Action - Parvathi

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Parvathi was born in India into a family with ancient lineage of Yoga and Vedanta. Raised with these teachings and principles, at a very young age she began her training. She was formally initiated into the Pratyabhijnana Marga School of Kashmir Shaivism by a yogini adept. Over the years she received the full transmissions of this tradition integrating them with Yoga, Vedanta and Samaya Tantras (a specific scientific school of yoga wisdom). Later, she received the Shree Vidya transmissions through the eminent Shree Amritananda Saraswati of Devipuram.

Parvathi is the disciple of Lalita Devi and heir of the deepest tantric tradition of Kashmirian Shaivism. The lineage of the Nath goes back to Matsyendranath himself and through him to the oldest sources of Shaivism. It is to this emblematic master that Abhinavagupta pays homage in the opening of his Tantraloka, as initiator of the Kaula lineage. Kaula is the union of Shakti, kula, and Shiva, akula. Matsyendranath in his famous tantra, the Kaulajnananirnaya tantra, after presenting the lineage of his masters, states simply that he received the teachings directly from the Goddess Kali.

Parvathi underwent a beautiful and very strong training immersed in the direct teachings and sadhanas of the Yoginis, the Kaula tradition and the living philosophies of Kashmir Shaivism. She received the transmission of the deepest teachings of the Kaula lineage and became an adept in the art of mantras and the different sadhanas. She practiced the sadhana of the Ten Mahavidyas dedicated to Kali, Tara, Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshvari, Chinnamasta, Bhairavi, Dhumavati, Baglamukhi, Matangi and Kamala. Then she was initiated to the teachings and cosmic practice of Shree Vidya that she transmits today. As the years passed she also received training in the Mishra and Samaya schools of Tantra. She is heir to three profound streams of Tantra and Yoga lineage. After extensive training and arduous testing, she was asked to teach by her teachers who themselves are lineage holders. She does this as a yogini sharing the transmissions, but not as a guru.

As a young girl Parvathi traveled throughout America, Europe and India due to her father's profession as a scientist. Later living in America, she founded Saraswati River Yoga School and co-founded Yogasphere. She trains teachers in this integrated method of yoga transmitted originally from the yoginis, the Vedas and the Tantras. Extensive travel, living in the West but undergoing arduous traditional training and testing by her teachers has given Parvathi a special ability to give pertinent and refined language to this consciousness work - revealing its integrated application and relevance.

As well, living a householder's life in the world - as a mother and a yogini - integrating yoga practice daily, has given Parvathi a unique perspective. She weaves the timeless wisdoms and ancient practices and texts into everyday life. Finding grace and wonder in life through the myriad of relationships is the aim of her yoga practice. To exist in non-duality, conversing with duality and being accountable to every level of relationship is the mastery of the yoginis. Parvathi's study and training is captivating because it reveals the wisdom of this tradition expounding the great power of the yoginis and their lineages transmitted from woman to woman since the origins.

The Lakshmi Retreat with Parvathi on Salt Spring Island from July 19th to the 23rd.

Cycling for Kindness - Brock Tully

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:30:00 -0800

Brock Tully is an inspirational speaker and author of a series of Reflections books (over 140,000 copies sold). In 2000, Brock sold his business and cycled 18,000 kilometres around North America to raise awareness for kindness. In addition to being a main cyclist and spokesperson for the Cycling for Kindness project.

Brock Tully is a man on a mission. �I only do about 10 miles an hour with the trailer hooked on behind me,� Brock said. Tully did 10 miles enough times in a row to cycle all the way around North America not once, but 3 times.

I've since become aware this irritation comes from not listening to the one inner voice of my heart, but from listening to, and becoming confused by all the fearful voices in my head.

All those suggestions from loving, well-meaning people who thought they knew my journey better than me. I was angry at those people until I realized I have a choice to listen or to not listen!

In 1970, at 23 years old, the conflict was so intense I was very suicidal. I was at "Brock" bottom. I needed to make a change; so I decided to climb on my bicycle and do what no one had done - ride my bicycle around Canada, the U.S., and Mexico (10,000 miles, 18,000 Km) As I rode I became more conscious and soon realized that my journey wasn't so much a 10,000 mile one, but a 12 inch one, . . . from my head, back to my heart! I was becoming excited about life again! I hadn't lost my heart . . . I had only lost touch with it!

During my journey, I wrote my first thought of many . . .

". . . I'd rather be seen for who I am and be alone . . . than be accepted for someone I'm not and be lonely."

Instead of "taking my life," by remembering my heart, I realized I was here to 'give with my life'!

". . . I was told I'd be 'out-of-my-mind' to go after my dreams . . . now that I've gotten out of my mind by following my heart, I'm living my dreams."

I started collecting my little thoughts and over the years put together a series of 5 Reflection books, 2 children books (for people of "all" ages), and a CD "Touching Hearts." People seemed to like what I wrote (over 140,000 copies sold) and I was asked to speak at a variety of events!

What could be better than this! I was writing and sharing what I feel! (and sometimes even getting paid!) I found 'my' path - it's been a slippery one at times, but I know the way I look at life is my choice . . .

". . . I may not be able to change the world I see around me but I can change the way I see the world, within me."

Even though I know I'm on 'my' path, it was confirmed the day I got a letter from a woman telling me about her Grandmother who passed on and whose last request was to be buried with my book!

By Brock Tully

"One of a KIND Stories, Music, and more" is back!

Friday night, July 3rd, at 7:30pm
at Unity Vancouver (5840 Oak St. - near 41st)

It will include a personal short Story from the heart, and lots of amazing music....i'm sooooo excited about our Performers (so incredibly talented!!) - we have Jeanette and Jonas from Kindness Rocks, ABBACadabra, and many other incredible Shows (they are off to Malaysia shortly to Perform for the King); Ron Irving who is a fantastic singer, musician, and song-writer (written for Michael Buble, Anne Murray, etc.); Ivan Boudreau an outstanding singer, musician, and song-writer who will also totally WOW you; and Michael Vincent who is not only amazing, but just released his beautiful CD!!

...i hope you feel inspired to pass this on to your wonderful friends and others on your data base....it will be a special evening...esp. if YOU are there! Yahoooo!!! Come alone or bring friends!

...at this first one, i will be sharing about my life, including my 3 epic bicycle journeys, from my personal inner challenges with addiction to my insights learned a long the way! Of all the Events i've organized, this is the first where i will share 'my' story! ...it would really mean a lot to me to have your support and to see you there! Over the last many years i've organized large Events like "Clam Chowder for the Soul, "Porridge for the Soul", the World Kindness Concerts, and now "One of a KIND Stories"...these Events have given close to 500 Speakers and Performers an opportunity to share their gifts and talents...our stories are so so important...many of us go through life and no one ever gets to really know us...we hold so much inside...when we hear and support people being vulnerable and real, their stories become ours, as we relate to the feelings, fears, and challenges....our stories may 'appear' different, but inside they are all the same! i hope you'll be there for my story!

...at each Event - i'm planning on going weekly at the end of the summer and i will be featuring a local story of a person overcoming a huge challenge to make a difference plus a variety of wonderful Performers - some of whom, will share their touching stories!

...this last trip around the U.S. was extremely tough and at the same time very fulfilling, and this will also be the first time i will be sharing about my latest trip and answering questions... hopefully you feel the Events i organize have, and will continue, to support you on 'your' journey. The following Events will focus on others' stories...i have been touched deeply by people's stories and they not only need to be heard, but we need to support each other - especially when we risk to open our hearts - this is what COMMUNITY is all about.

...this latest Tour has convinced me that our challenges - depression, anger, loneliness, feeling 'stuck', unhealthy relationships, or whatever - stems from us holding our feelings inside and our lack of communication...we lose touch with our very special heart and, too often, feel separate and fearful. The use of drugs, such as 'Crystal Meth', to numb feelings, has become epidemic.

...please bring Kleenex...we had 250 people at the last big "One of a KIND stories" Event and there wasn't a dry eye in the Theatre...we were moved, and often times deeply saddened, by people's overwhelming challenges, but we left inspired and connected to others by these amazing stories of courage!

...it is important to be on time and attendance is by $5-10 minimum donation....i'm so excited to see you there.

Grace, Gaia and the End of Days - Satyen Raja & Stuart Wilde

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:30:00 -0800

Satyen Raja Interview with Stuart Wilde
on Conscious Living Radio 102.7 FM

Stuart Wilde is considered by many the greatest living metaphysician in the world today, many of the most famous New Age, New Thought writers and teachers have studied with him or they have been greatly influenced by his work.

In 2001 Wilde discovered the Morph and he wrote out the details of the topography and dimensions of what is now know as the Aluna Mirror Worlds, much of that information has since been verified by many others who have greatly added to his initial work.

In the 1980s Wilde correctly described the etheric life field around humans in precise detail. Previously it was known only in vague terms and discussions about the human aura. Wilde wrote out the first of many precise and verifiable etheric exercises and sensations in his book The Quickening (Hay House 1995).

Over the last ten years he has published hundreds of his visions many of which have now come to pass.

He continues to write of his latest discoveries on his Internet sites (Stuartwilde.com & Stuartwildeblog.com). He has written twenty books.

Satyen Raja
Satyen�s deepest purpose for living is to make it possible for others to Awaken in a way that is real, practical and sustainable. Each step on the Path of the WarriorSage reflects a step in Satyen�s own life and an offering of his purpose. Sex, Passion & Enlightenment, Living Ecstasy, The Illumination Intensive, Money Mastery, Spiritual Adventure Journeys, The Awakening of the WarriorSage�each step is a transformation, a portal to the permanent Awakening of your soul.

Big Mind Big Heart - Dennis Genpo Merzel Roshi

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Dennis Genpo Merzel Roshi is a revolutionary in the tradition of the old Zen Masters who so embodied Buddhist teaching that they were able to revitalize and transform it for their own day and age. As Buddhism moved from India to China to Japan and other Asian cultures, it found unique expression in each culture that made its fundamental teachings resonate for a new time and place. Genpo Roshi is working to transmit the essence of the Buddha�s teachings in a way that is readily accessible to Westerners and relevant to our everyday life.
The core of Genpo Roshi�s teaching is the unshakeable and contagious certainty that every one of us, regardless of our socio-economic, cultural or religious background, can instantly awaken to our true nature, like the great masters of old � like the historical Buddha himself, whose essential teaching was nothing less than this. This experience helps us shed anxiety and fear and learn to live more purposeful, compassionate and joyful lives. Roshi combines Zen tradition with the insights of such visionary western figures as Carl Jung, Fritz Perls, and Hal Stone, enabling virtually anyone to realize their true nature, a realization they can further deepen through meditation.
Dennis Genpo Merzel comes from a long line of Rebbes. Born in Brooklyn NY, he grew up in Southern California where he was a high school champion swimmer and All-American water polo player. He earned a Masters degree in education from the University of Southern California and was a teacher and lifeguard before ordaining as a Zen monk under Zen Master Taizan Maezumi in 1973. Completing formal Koan study in 1979 he became Maezumi Roshi�s second Dharma Successor in 1980, the first being Bernie Tetsugen Glassman. He received Inka (final seal of approval as Zen Master) from Roshi Glassman in 1996, thereby becoming one of a small group of Westerners recognized as lineage holders in both the Soto and Rinzai Zen traditions.

In 1982 Genpo Sensei began teaching throughout Europe and founded the international group he named the Kanzeon (Love and Compassion) Sangha, centered in Salt Lake City, Utah, with affiliates in France, Holland, Poland, Belgium, Germany, England, and Malta. He has twelve Dharma Successors: Catherine Genno Pages, John Shodo Flatt, Anton Tenkei Coppens, Malgosia Jiho Braunek, Daniel Doen Silberberg, Nico Sojun Tydeman, Nancy Genshin Gabrysch, Diane Musho Hamilton, Michael Mugaku Zimmerman, Richard Taido Christofferson, Michel Genko Dubois, and Maurice Shonen Knegtel. He has given Inka to seven Zen teachers: John Daido Loori, Catherine Genno Pages and Anton Tenkei Coppens, Jan Chozen Bays, Charles Tenshin Fletcher, Nicolee Jikyo McMahon and Susan Myoyu Andersen. For ten years, until 2007, he was the President of the White Plum Asanga, the worldwide community comprising all the Dharma heirs of Taizan Maezumi Roshi, their successors, and the many groups they lead.

Roshi�s publications include The Eye Never Sleeps, Beyond Sanity and Madness, 24/7 Dharma, and The Path of The Human Being, and several DVDs. His latest book, Big Mind/Big Heart: Finding Your Way, published in the Fall of 2007, is also being published in translation in Holland, Spain, Germany, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, and Romania. He is married to Stephanie Young Merzel, co-administrator of Kanzeon Zen Center International, and has two children, Tai Merzel, an aerospace engineer, and Nicole Merzel, a graduate student in mathematics and earning teacher certification at the University of Puget Sound.

Using guided meditation and intuition to reveal your deepest self - Michal Levin

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Live Interview with Michal on 102.7 FM, Wednesday, June 10, 6-7 PM

Michal Levin has been called the intuitive's intuitive, by the thousands of people who, over the years, have benefited from her psychic or intuitive readings, healing workshops, books and seminars. But to most, she is more than just an outstanding intuitive, she is a spiritual teacher.

As a spiritual teacher, she is an advisor, mentor and guide for individuals who are poised to take the next steps in their personal evolution. For more than seventeen years she has been a sought after teacher, helping others on an evolutionary path, connecting them with purpose and meaning to enable them to enjoy a valuable life.

At the same time, because she sees energy and understands how to interpret it, she teaches the lessons of subtle energy, and how to work with it, including by the use of a special meditation technique.

As a spiritual teacher and an intuitive, Michal works to transform each individual, and so the wider world, for the greater good.

James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy says:
"Michal Levin is one of the world's foremost teachers of energy- sensing, interpreting, and working with energy. When you learn from her and practice her wisdom, you open the doors to soul and spirit, and develop your multiple ways of knowing. Michal's also a superb intuitive mentor for your personal guidance and growth. Her skills, insight, and integrity are extraordinary."

Deepak Chopra, author: Grow Younger, Live Longer and Quantum Healing, etc.
"Michal Levin provides an inspired map that guides many on their way to further explorations."

"In modern medical practice we are engaged in the development of sensing devices that we attach to our patients. Michal, however, demonstrates ways of knowing that outstrip even our most sophisticated electronic devices, ways in which the innate sensitivity of human beings vastly surpasses machines....She teaches that the instrument we most need to develop is ourselves, and she teaches us how to realize this."
Charles Palmer MB ChB, Professor of Pediatrics, Chief Penn State Children's Hospital

Limitless You, The Infinite Possibilities of a Balanced Brain - Lee Gerdes

Wed, 27 May 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Lee Gerdes, Educated at Doane College, Crete, Nebraska; Columbia University, NY; Wartburg Seminary, Dubuque, Iowa; JFK University, Orinda, CA. Lee achieved a BA with Math and Physics majors and advanced studies in Math and Physics; a Masters Degree in Divinity with advanced studies in Psychology.

He has a background that includes Systems Analyst, Pastoral Counselor, Management Consultant, and in computer software his most recent position was as Vice President of Solutions for NetPerceptions. Lee was featured on ABC News Nightline for his work at NetPerceptions and their creation of computer software to help individuals find specific items which they would most probably like when there were a large number of items from which to choose.

The eclectic mix of Lee's education and his personal need to experience more happiness and less stress while being highly functional, led Lee in 2003, to begin research of the options to cause an individual brain state to be conditioned for health and happiness. In 2004, Lee started KudoZone, a brain state conditioning business, which now furnishes Brain State Conditioning capability to thousands of people. In 2005 KudoZone became Brain State Technologies, with affiliate offices throughout the world.

Brain State Technologies System for Brainwave Optimization was designed for relaxation, self-regulation and meditation. Ultimately, this process produces personalized exercises to balance and optimize your brain.
Brain balance and harmony is the first step to well being and optimization. Balance in the brain, is subsequently followed by balance in the body. The condition of balance and harmony for the brain is known as homeostasis. It is a level playing field for your brain to respond to thinking, feeling, and healing your body in an optimized state. Your brain acts as the hub of the wheel, your nervous system the spokes and your body the rim. When the hub is out of balance everything else suffers.
Brainwave Optimization with RTB is a completely non-invasive, individually tailored process of balancing and harmonizing the brain. The System balances brain activity from the lobes of one side of the brain to the other, and from the front of the brain to the back. Harmony refers to the way energy patterns function together from low to high in the various regions of the brain. The sole objective of brainwave optimization is to establish balance and harmony in the brain. More Info - http://www.brainstatetech.com/

The Life of a Tulku - Gesar Mukpo

Sun, 24 May 2009 18:00:00 -0800

The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) is pleased to announce the World Premiere of Tulku, an exceptional personal documentary by filmmaker Gesar Mukpo, who was recognized by Tibetan Buddhists as a tulku�a reincarnated Buddhist master.

In many ways, Gesar Mukpo�s life in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is an ordinary one. But, when he was only 3, he became one of the first people born in the West to be recognized as a tulku � a reincarnated Buddhist master.

Using his film, Tulku, Mukpo tries to figure out exactly what this means. While travelling throughout Canada, the United States, India and Nepal, interviewing some of the greatest living Tibetan Buddhist teachers, like renowned Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Mukpo encounters four other tulkus who are struggling with this profound dilemma, trying to reconcile modern and ancient, East and West.

In this intensely personal documentary, as he gathers impressions from others, Mukpo reveals his own poignant story of living in the West with this unique label and legacy, endlessly scrutinized as someone who is supposed to be special and monumental.

Tulku was produced as part of the Reel Diversity Competition for emerging filmmakers of colour. Reel Diversity is a NFB initiative in partnership with CBC Newsworld. Tulku, will be presented at the Pacific Cinematheque, on Monday, May 25, at 3 p.m.

Here is a link with the interview, info about the film, the trailer, NFB contact info, etc.: http://www.nfb.ca/film/tulku_trailer/

Director�s Biography
Gesar Mukpo is a filmmaker who lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The son of the great Tibetan Buddhist teacher, Ch�gyam Trungpa Rinpoche and his British wife, Mukpo was recognized as the reincarnation of his father�s beloved teacher at the age of three. He developed his film and video craft through commercial work and study with Buddhist teacher and filmmaker Khyentse Norbu. Buddhist themes provide the motivations for his most recent work, including the music video What About Me?

In many ways, Gesar Mukpo leads an ordinary life. He�s building a career as a filmmaker, he�s had trouble in his marriage, and he struggles to pay his bills. But there is more to Gesar�s story. Tibetan Buddhists recognize him as a tulku, a reincarnated Buddhist master. Gesar was three when he became one of the first people born in the West recognized as a tulku. His entire life, he�s been trying to figure out what that really means. Tibetan teachers, including Gesar�s father, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, began making their way to the West in the 1960s. By the mid-1970s, they began to recognize Western children as tulkus. Suddenly, a system that ensured stable spiritual power and authority in Tibetan society for 800 years was transplanted into a completely different culture. And individual tulkus, like Gesar, were caught in the middle.

In this intensely personal documentary, Gesar sets out to meet other Western tulkus to find out how they reconcile modern and ancient, East and West. Journeying through Canada, the United States, India and Nepal, he encounters four other tulkus who struggle with this profound dilemma. Ashoka channels his efforts into working for human rights in New York. Dylan, whose parents met at a Jimi Hendrix concert, spends half the year in solitary retreat. Wyatt grew up in California and recently moved to India to pursue Tibetan Buddhist studies at a monastery. Meanwhile Reuben, who was born in Amsterdam and spent three years in an Indian monastery, has become cynical about the tulku system and Tibetan Buddhism in general.

Tulku also includes interviews with some of the greatest living Tibetan Buddhist teachers. One of them, the renowned Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, asks if it might be time to abandon the practice of recognizing tulkus. As he gathers impressions from others, Gesar reveals his own poignant story of living in the West with this unique label and legacy, endlessly scrutinized as a supposed special and monumental figure. What does it mean to carry on a role designed for an old world when you�re living in a completely new one? How will Gesar and other Western tulkus fulfill their destiny?

World Premiere. Filmmaker in attendance.

Bruce Sanguin ~ "Ecology, Spirituality & The Evolution of Consciousness"

Where does "spirituality" and the evolution of consciousness fit in the ecological community? The modern and postmodern worldviews threw the spiritual baby out with the bathwater of premodern superstition and pathological religious fundamentalism. This was entirely necessary, serving to liberate human consciousness from the myopic scriptural and ecclesiastical perspectives of mythic consciousness. However, there is an emerging, integral spirituality that transcends, yet includes, traditional faith systems. The reintegration of spiritual consciousness can serve the healing of our planet. This spirituality is grounded in evolutionary science, yet functions like ancient myth in the evocation of awe and wonder at the sacred mystery of creation. When we tell the new story of creation as a sacred narrative, we gain a new identity. We become centers of conscious evolution and tap into the sustaining and creative energy of the universe to engage in the work of repairing our planet.

Rev. Bruce Sanguin is the minister of Canadian Memorial United Church and Center for Peace in Vancouver, B.C. He speaks and leads workshops throughout North America on spirituality and ecology. Bruce is the author of the best selling Darwin, Divinity, and the Dance of the Cosmos: An Ecological Christianity. His most recent book, The Emerging Church, looks at congregational transformation through an evolutionary lens. www.brucesanguin.com

FIERCE LIGHT: WHEN SPRIT MEETS ACTION - Velcrow Ripper

Wed, 13 May 2009 18:00:00 -0800

VELCROW RIPPER�S AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY FIERCE LIGHT:
WHEN SPIRIT MEETS ACTION TO OPEN IN VANCOUVER ON MAY 15

E1 Entertainment Canada is pleased to announce that filmmaker Velcrow Ripper�s FIERCE LIGHT: WHEN SPIRIT MEETS ACTION, a moving and enlightening documentary that explores the reaches of spiritual activism, will open in Vancouver on May 15. Winner of the NFB�s Most Popular Canadian Documentary Award at 2008 the Vancouver International Film Festival, FIERCE LIGHT is directed, written and photographed by Toronto-based Velcrow Ripper, the acclaimed director of the groundbreaking documentary Scared Sacred.
In these times of crisis, there is an electric charge in the air, a burgeoning renewal amongst both the people who have focused their lives on spirit, and those whose lives are centered around the struggle for change. FIERCE LIGHT is a feature documentary that captures this exciting movement of Spiritual Activism that is exploding around the planet, and the powerful personalities that are igniting it. Fueled by the belief that �another world is possible�, acclaimed filmmaker Velcrow Ripper (Scared Sacred) seeks out today�s stories of what Martin Luther King called �Love in Action�, and Gandhi called �Soul Force�; what Ripper is calling �Fierce Light�. It is the way of the Sacred Warrior, uncompromisingly nonviolent, with a power that radiates from the heart and outwards. It is that same spirit that swept Barack Obama into the White House � undeniably hopeful, and full of possibility. FIERCE LIGHT: When Spirit Meets Action reveals what�s possible when human beings are at their absolute best.

FIERCE LIGHT features some of the most remarkable spiritual activists of our times including: Archbishop Desmond Tutu; Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Alice Walker (The Color Purple); U.S. Congressman and Civil Rights Leader, American Civil Rights Leader, John Lewis; Buddhist peace activist and monk Thich Nhat Hanh; actor turned activist, Daryl Hannah; The South Central Farmers of Los Angeles, famed tree-sitter Julia Butterfly Hill, as well as Van Jones, founder of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights in Oakland California, a strategy and action �incubator� working towards justice, opportunity and peace in urban America. Jones was recently appointed Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) by President Obama.
Multiple award-winning documentary filmmaker, writer and sound designer, Velcrow Ripper garnered international attention with his feature-length documentary Scared Sacred. Ripper has explored some of the most important issues of our time. His twenty-eight films and videos include: In the Company of Fear, a documentary on non-violent
resistance to the �dirty war� in Colombia; the Golden Gate Award winning doc Open Season, about bear hunters and the activists who protest the hunt; and the multiple award-winning feature documentary, Bones of the Forest examining the struggle to save the ancient forests of British Columbia (Best of the Festival - Hot Docs, 1996 Genie award for Best Feature Doc).
Ripper is a graduate of Concordia University, and was a founder of the Gulf Island Film and Television School (GIFTS). He made his first documentary Iran the Crisis, at the age of 16. In 1995 he created the first artist driven web project at the Banff Centre for the Arts, and has served as a film instructor at the prestigious Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver, as well as the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto. He is currently developing the feature documentaries Evolve Dissolve: Another World is Here and Redvolution: Dare to Disturb the Universe. Ripper is currently a resident of Toronto Island.

In Search of the Miraculous: Healing into Consciousness, with Eliza Mada Dalian

Wed, 06 May 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Eliza MADA Dalian is a visionary change-maker.

She is a multiple award-winning author, medical intuitive, spiritual guide, and master-healer. Separated from her mother at age seven and raised by her father and an abusive stepmother, she learned self-sufficiency and strengthening of spirit early on.

Born in Armenia, she immigrated to Canada in 1976 (at age 24), where she soon came across the teachings of the twentieth-century mystics Georges Gurdjieff and Osho. Deeply affected by their words, she left behind her training in education and architecture and devoted herself to the search for truth and spiritual enlightenment.

Years of focused and committed meditation blessed her with several profound experiences, which led to an ultimate awakening experience at age 33. At this time, she discovered first-hand the truth all awakened people point to: we are not our body, mind, pain, and suffering but rather a manifestation of Love, Consciousness, and Cosmic Joy. This profound and life-altering experience took her some years to integrate into the ordinary world of day-to-day life.

In the late 1990s, Mada developed a groundbreaking new healing method � DHM (Dalian Healing Method) � to help people quickly and effortlessly transform their psychological and physical pain and suffering into health and consciousness.

What sets Mada apart from other spiritual teachers is that she is also a practicing hands-on healer. What sets her apart from other healers is that she is not primarily concerned with fixing symptoms but rather with helping people heal from unconsciousness into consciousness. Described by many as a medical intuitive, healer, oracle, mystic, and spiritual guide, Eliza Mada Dalian has dedicated her life to helping others towards healing and awakening.

Kunlun Nei Gung - Experience the Bliss, Mary Pirtle

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Kunlun is a Taoist spiritual practice of Self-Awakening and the absorption of heavenly energies. It was kept secret up until now. Kunlun opens the 72,000 nadis, awakens the brains dormant abilities, removes blockages and mental illusions, purifies, strengthens, harmonizes and re energizes the entire body. Kunlun is mainly an oral tradition and many aspects are transferred from person to person.

Studying under Sifu Max Christensen for the past 12 years, Mary Pirtle is a certified instructor and facilitator of Kunlun, formless form, Nei Gung. Many other practices
were learned over the years such as Vajra breathing, Rainbow Body Meditation, Red Phoenix, Red Dragon, Black Dragon, Taoist Thunder practices, shamanism, and toning to name a few and Mary continues to take advanced training with Sifu Max.

In 2004 Mary spent some time in the Arizona desert studying with a Yaqi medicine man and was given the name encargada de la sabiduria de la abuela, (grandmother wisdom keeper),and nick named little grandmother for short.
In 2007 Mary became a certified reseller of Egyptian Healing Rods and gives instructions on how to incorporate these into the Kunlun and Red Phoenix practices and into the
practitioners everyday life. Please see the web site www.egyptian healing rods.com for more information on the healing rods.

Mary has weekly classes and is available for private sessions, seminars and workshops. Please see calendar to see upcoming events or to schedule a private session.

Recently Mary has started channeling Lady Haleakala and will soon have a web site devoted to these channelings.

The Mastery of Love with Don Miguel Ruiz

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 18:00:00 -0800

You master love when your relationship with your beloved, your parents, brothers and sisters, your children, your friends, your community and with God are full of joy and happiness. But especially, when the relationship with yourself is based in complete respect.

Don Miguel Ruiz, author of the bestsellers �The Four Agreements� and �The Mastery Of Love,� was raised by a curandera (healer) �Madre Sarita� and a nagual (shaman) grandfather. Miguel chose to attend medical school and became a surgeon but a near-death experience changed his life. Stunned by this experience he devoted himself to the mastery of the ancient ancestral wisdom, studying earnestly with his mother. Don Miguel is a nagual from the Eagle Knight lineage, and is dedicated to sharing his knowledge of the teachings of the ancient Toltecs.

Don Jose Ruiz, like his father, combines new insights with ancient wisdom and has dedicated his life to sharing the ancient Toltec Wisdom by translating it into practical, everyday life concepts that promote transformation through truth, love and common sense. Don Jose teaches and lectures across the United States and around the world and offers Power Journeys to the pyramids of Teotihuacan , Palenque , Tulum and Coba. Don Jose is co-author of �The Fifth Agreement� a book written with his father and to be released spring 2009. More info - www.miguelruiz.com

Remote Viewing & Near Death Experiences - Paul Elder

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Interview with Paul Elder - Wednesday March 25th, 6-630 PM on 102.7 FM

Ever heard of Remote Viewing or Project Star Gate? � Paul Elder hadn�t, at least not until a series of near death experiences opened a psychic doorway for him. Now, Paul finds himself holding company with the world's top remote viewers, former Pentagon Directors and �Top Secret� military intelligence officers. This story reads like fiction but is FACT! Author of the acclaimed book, Eyes of an Angel, Elder is a former CTV news reporter and mayor of a Canadian city. He is also a survivor of three near-death experiences � a drowning at the age of 12, a car accident at 17, and a heart attack at the age of 41. Following his near-death encounters Elder�s life was further rocked by a series of spontaneous out-of-body experiences � experiences which would lead him to a life of psychic intrigue he could not even have imagined.

Due in part to his many extraordinary excursions while participating in consciousness exploration programs at the world famous Monroe Institute in Virginia, Elder was introduced to some mysterious people involved in paranormal research � some at high levels of security within the U.S. Government's �Top Secret� military intelligence �psychic spying program� known as Project Star Gate. As a result of these connections, Paul began training with several of the original Army Intelligence Remote Viewing Officers employed in the previously Top Secret unit. Having completed an extensive training program with army remote viewer, David Morehouse, author of Psychic Warrior, Elder went on to train with army remote viewer, Lyn Buchanan, author of Seventh Sense, and with Star Gate's former Pentagon Director, Dale Graff. In recognition of his abilities in remote viewing, Elder was recruited several years ago as a trainer at the Monroe Institute in Virginia where he teaches Remote Viewing classes with former army officer, Skip Atwater. Atwater, the Director of Research at the Institute, was formerly known as Captain Fred Atwater, none other than the original Recruiting and Operations Officer for Project Star Gate. At the Institute, Elder also works with former decorated army officer, Joe McMoneagle, one of Star Gate�s longest serving officers. McMoneagle is purported to be one of the greatest remote viewers in the world. He is the author of several books including Star Gate Chronicles, Remote Viewing Secrets, and Mind Trek. Remaining in awe of his famous peers, Elder confides that he is still amazed that such people even exist, much less contemplating that he actually knows and works with them.

Paul lives on Vancouver Island and spends his time writing, teaching, and speaking throughout the United States and Canada on the subject of Remote Viewing and the phenomenon of near-death and out-of-body experiences.

�   Feed your mind: What's your constant mental diet? Do you spend hours in front of the television or are you reading insightful books, connecting with positive people and attending positive, educational seminars?
�   Change your attitude: Realize that everything that's happened in your life thus far is here to serve you, teach you and help you grow. Find the lessons in your past results, forgive yourself for anything you could have done better and apply the lesson to move forward and create a better future.
�   Get resourceful: For the next three days, go to a place where you can have uninterrupted time and develop 20 new ideas to grow your income, create new results and improve your life.
Do this for three successive days with 20 new ideas each day.

Empowering Humanity's Awakening - Geoffrey West

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:30:00 -0800

Radio interview - Wednesday Feb 25th, 6.30 - 7PM

Empowering Humanity�s Awakening Awareness to Creating LIFE-Honouring Structural Change

Geoffrey West, (M.A., Peace Education) LIFE-Counsellor, lecturer and author of a document for global healing and change called A Greenprint For LIFE, and author of an as-yet unpublished book by the same name, walks the audience first through an exploration of some of the failed creations of our institutions of leadership and why our leaders do not want the �peace� that they are claiming to be working towards. As we begin to understand how our current, dysfunctional structures have kept the masses in fear and separation from knowing our deeper relationship to LIFE (capitalized), we can begin a process of exploring this deeper connection to, and relationship with, LIFE, from the perspective of how we are intimately connected in ONENESS, not only to each other, but also to our planet, and everything beyond. From this awareness can one begin to take responsibility for what one creates and experiences in ones LIFE-path, and from this acknowledgement flows healing, and from the healing flows the conscious choices that honour Self, honour others, and honour our planet, leading to the LIFE-honouring choices that will create the macro-level structures of our future. Doing what we�ve always done is only giving us what we keep on getting in our world. New choices can only begin as humanity�s awareness shifts to a new level. Humanity�s awareness can only change as we expose ourselves to a new relationship to LIFE, and acknowledge that we ALL have contributed to a critical condition on our planet..and yet�at the same time, a very critical opportunity for evolutionary awakening and growth! We have chosen a very exciting time to be here, and we ALL are now being called to remember our role to lift humanity and our planet beyond our current, limited perspective of LIFE.

Igniting Change with Donna Vysocky

Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:30:00 -0800

HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN?
In August of 2003, Donna Visocky was attending a Compassionate Friends meeting when a woman came up to her after the meeting and said �Your daughter was standing behind you all night long and she is a beautiful girl.� And so began a journey that really started with the death of Donna�s 21 year-old daughter Kristi in a car accident just two months earlier.

It took a month for Donna to get up the nerve to make an appointment with the �Angel Reader� but go she did, driven by an agonizing desire to reconnect with her daughter. Not only did Debra Becker, this very special Angel Reader, help her connect with Kristi, but she also introduced Donna to the angels and an entire new dimension of spirituality.

Donna recalls, �Kristi was an incredibly beautiful soul, filled with compassion and concern for those less fortunate. From the time she was a small child she stood up for the underdog and often riled against the injustices in this world. Oh, how that child loved to argue. It was Kristi who brought me here, to this place in my life; who opened the windows of my mind to the wonders and blessings of the universe and the realization that this is just a small blip in the journey of our souls.�

Always open to new ideas and aware that there was more to life than what we know, Donna read book after book, looking for answers, looking for spirit, looking for peace. Inspired by what she learned, as well as the stories of everyday people, Donna felt compelled to share these messages. And so was born, BellaSpark Productions, dedicated to bringing many of the world�s top spiritual and motivational speakers and authors to northern Colorado. Helping people explore the stories, share them, and in the process, open our hearts and our minds to the messages of hope, love, wisdom and inspiration. As Donna puts it, �We are all lightworkers and we all have a story to tell.�

The members of BellaSpark Productions have over 20 years experience in non-profit work, business management and event planning and are committed to offering the very best in motivational workshops, seminars and events. According to Donna, �I have trained my entire life for this role. The events BellaSpark Productions bring to life will be the best thing I have ever done.�

Here is a word from Donna about The BellaSpark Speakers:

We are proud to present Evenings with Extraordinary People 2008-2009, a lecture series beyond words. Five nights, five extraordinary speakers.... Each with a message of hope, inspiration and love.... A message so powerful, it will change your life forever. The presenters include (but not exclusive to): Michael Beckwith, Gary Zukav, Alan Cohen, Carolyn Myss, Deepak Chopra, Gary Quinn, Gregg Braden, Iyanla Vanzant, James Twyman, James Van Praagh, John Holland, and Wayne Dyer. More info - Bella Spark Production

Healing Path Magazine:
Later on, Donna bought a regional spiritual magazine, made its format more mainstream, and changed the name to Healing Path. Healing Path is quickly becoming a premiere magazine used to promote BellaSpark events and to give voice to the luminaries with which Donna interacts. With each issue, Healing Path becomes a world-class periodical for spiritual and global conscious issues. More info - Healing Path

Join me in conversation with a remarkable woman, Donna Visocky, a true visionary in her own rite, as she shares her destiny in facilitating the consciousness movement one event at a time!

HeartMath & The Global Coherence Initiative with Howard Martin

Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:00:00 -0800

The Institute of HeartMath is an internationally recognized nonprofit research and education organization dedicated to heart-based living � people relying on the intelligence of their hearts in concert with their minds to conduct their lives at home, school, work and play. HeartMath has been researching heart intelligence, stress and emotional management for more than 16 years and applied its findings to practical, easy-to-use tools that have been scientifically developed and tested.

You�ll find powerful applications on this Web site such as our online Stress and Well-Being Survey that provide personalized, life-changing solutions to help you experience the physical, mental and emotional benefits of heart-based living. These applications, along with HeartMath�s many products and services, help students, educators, parents, workers, healthcare practitioners and professionals around the world transform stress so they can think more clearly, perform better and feel balanced, energized and in control.

Howard Martin, Executive VP, Strategic Development, brings more than 30 years of experience in business and personal development to the position of Executive Vice President, Strategic Development. Howard's responsibilities include global alliances, marketing, and program and product development. Howard has been instrumental in assisting Doc Childre in the development and teaching of HeartMath's programs since its inception. He speaks internationally on the HeartMath approach to advancing human performance that is based on compelling scientific research--linking heart function with health, emotional well-being and intelligence.

Howard is co-author with Doc Childre of The HeartMath Solution, published in 2000 by Harper San Francisco. He also developed Nightingale-Conant's tape series, "The HeartMath Method."

Howard is a dynamic speaker, and has delivered hundreds of workshops and keynote addresses to audiences ranging from corporations, to the armed forces, to educators, families, and human service providers. As a key spokesperson for HeartMath, he has conducted hundreds of media interviews. His appearances include CNN Headline News, ABC Good Morning America and ABC World News Tonight.

The Global Coherence Initiative is a science-based initiative uniting millions of people in heart-focused care and intention, to shift global consciousness from instability and discord to balance, cooperation and enduring peace.

This project has been launched by the Institute of HeartMath^�, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), a recognized global leader in researching emotional physiology, heart-brain interactions and the physiology of optimal health and performance.

The Global Coherence Initiative is designed to help individuals and groups work together, synchronistically and strategically to increase the impact of their efforts to create positive global change.

Together we will:

Increase personal coherence for the benefit of ourselves and the planet
Help shift the planetary consciousness baseline from self-centeredness to wholeness care
Increase connection and social harmony
Empower our ability to navigate through global changes with less stress and more ease
Empower environmental responsibility and stewardship of the planet

This project has been initiated because millions of people sense that this is an extraordinary time; that a paradigm shift of human consciousness is now under way; that we are at the crossroads of change and must move toward the healing of ourselves and our planet. Many people are feeling a strong desire to help change our present and future conditions and are looking for ways to use their heart, spirit-aligned wisdom and care to make a meaningful difference.

The Global Coherence Initiative is one of many care and compassion initiatives taking place on the planet. Each year, an increasing number of groups and online communities are radiating compassion and care to the planet in these times of need. We and others feel that these collective heart-based initiatives, rather than being a trend, represent the proactive consciousness platform of the future, in which individuals and communities take responsibility for shaping a new world by increasing love, care and compassion for the global whole.

Heart Coherence

Many people recognize that their meditations, prayers, affirmations and intentions can and do affect the world. Researchers suggest that these activities can have even more transformative and lasting impact by adding heart coherence to the process. Heart coherence is a distinct mode of synchronized psycho-physical functioning associated with sustained positive emotion. It is a state of energetic alignment and cooperation between heart, mind, body and spirit. In coherence, energy is accumulated, not wasted, leaving you more energy to manifest intention and harmonious outcomes.

Adding heart coherence to meditation, prayer and intention practices is an important aspect of the Global Coherence Initiative. It adds order and increased effectiveness to whatever form of practice you are doing.

The Global Coherence Initiative offers education and technology on how to increase individual heart coherence. As groups of people in the Global Coherence community intentionally send coherent love and care to the world, a more powerful heart-filled environment is created. This helps to build a reservoir of positive energy that benefits the planet. This reservoir can then be utilized to help bring balance and stabilization to people, thereby making it easier to find solutions to problems like climate change, the destruction of the rain forests, poverty, war, hunger and other global issues. In addition, by sending coherent heart energy to the planet, you benefit personally. Practicing coherence has a carryover effect that helps to cushion you through stressors and challenges that occur day to day.

Earth Monitoring

The Global Coherence Initiative will include an important scientific measurement component. Advanced sensing technology, now being developed at the Institute of HeartMath, will allow us to observe changes in the earth�s magnetic field and test the hypothesis that the earth�s field is affected by mass human emotion, positive or negative. The Global Coherence Monitoring System (GCMS) will consist of approximately 100 sensors strategically located around the world. This system will enable a new level of scientific inquiry into the relationship between the earth�s magnetic field, collective human emotions and behaviors, and planetary changes.

The GCMS will allow us to test the hypotheses that:

Strong collective human emotions are reflected in the earth�s field.
Groups of people in heart coherence can affect the earth�s field.
Changes in the earth�s field predict earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and similar planetary scale events, in order to give people advance warning.

Our long-term goal is to correlate the following: coherence-level data collected from the GCI community with changes in the earth�s magnetic field, along with changes in various social, environmental and health outcomes.

How to Heal Yourself and Stay Healthy - Dr. Ben Johnson & Jay Hare

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Live radio interview Wednesday Feb 4th 6-7 PM PST on 102.7 FM

Dr Ben Johnson, one of few doctors with 3 medical degrees. He�s a complementary and alternative medicine physician and the only Medical Doctor featured in the hit movie, �The Secret�. As former clinical director of the Immune Recovery Clinic in Atlanta, (an alternative cancer clinic) and founder of the International Cancer Foundation, he is a renowned specialist in the prevention and cure of breast cancer. Dr. Johnson has examined over 10,000 women performing biopsies, surgeries and treating women naturopathically and with alternative therapies. He will reveal tips on how to keep your breasts healthy and insight into emotional issues to help you and your breasts stay healthy for life. Breasts are one of the most interesting topics of discussion for both men and women. So come along and discover amazing insights into breast health whether you are a man or a woman. Dr Ben�s Website for Breast Health: www.BreastWisdomBook.com

One of the challenges in the treatment of cancer is to get the body alkaline enough to kill off the cancer. Diet takes too long, anywhere from nine months or more. Some cancer patients didn't have nine months to spare. Dr. Johnson found that by giving his patients alkaline, ionized water, their bodies would shift into alkaline within a week. He has now added alkaline, ionized water into his treatment protocol. This amazing water will be discussed in the lecture as well.

Dr. Ben Johnson will also talk about "bad vibes" and "dis-ease" in the body. The work that Dr. Ben Johnson is referring to is what he calls The Healing Codes. The Healing Codes is the program in which Dr. Ben Johnson and Dr. Alex Lloyd teach people how to transform negative stress at a cellular level. Since all of our bodies are connected (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) this transformation of negative stress helps all of our bodies return to balance. If you would like more information on The Healing Codes please visit Dr. Ben Johnson's and Dr. Alex Lloyd's web site www.TheHealingCodes.com

Scientific studies are now showing conclusive proof that dehydration and acidosis are the root cause of all disease. Emotions are what lock us into the behaviors that perpetuate destructive habits and eating patterns. This commonality is good news for those suffering with health conditions of all sorts. By addressing the underlying emotional conditions, in addition to alkalizing and hydrating the body our bodies can heal themselves.
Dr Ben has teamed up with Jay Hare, one of the world�s expert s on the state of the world�s water and available water technology.
Jay is the president of Ionways and is also involved in producing a documentary on the sacred waters in Vilacabamba, Ecuador. Also as an elite athlete, he is acutely aware of the consequences of dehydration on health and performance. How would you like to feel younger and more vibrant than you've felt in years?
Find out what kind of water you should be drinking and how much. This one small change in your lifestyle will surprise you with its effects. Hear what the world's foremost authority on water has to say about your health.
Together, they will rock your world, changing the way you think about illness and health. Each one of you knows someone with a health condition, some of them very serious. You owe it to yourself and them to hear this life-changing information.

The Power of Soul - Dr. Zhi Gang Sha

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Zhi Gang Sha is a world-renowned healer, physician, author, and educator. Born in the Shaanxi province of China, Dr. Sha became interested in healing as a young child as he observed people in his immediate and extended family struggling with a variety of illnesses. People with breathing difficulties and asthma, in particular, caused him great concern.

His journey to becoming a master in several Eastern martial arts began at the age of six when he asked a Tai Chi master to accept him as a student. At the age of ten, he was accepted as a student by a master of Qigong. His training continued until he became a master in Tai Chi, Qigong, and Kung Fu. He also mastered feng shui and the I Ching. Later, Dr. Sha would integrate the essence of ancient healing traditions from the East with scientific principles from the West to create the breakthrough healing systems of Power Healing and Soul Mind Body Medicine.

At the age of 22 Dr. Sha began to combine the knowledge of energy manipulation he had learned through his practice of martial arts with traditional Chinese acupuncture to develop his own unique acupuncture system. He was certified as an acupuncturist and herbalist by the World Health Organization�s Institute of International Acupuncture and Moxibustion in Beijing, where he taught acupuncture, Tai Chi, and Qigong to foreign physicians. Dr. Sha is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and a registered acupuncturist in Canada.

He went on to study at Xi�an Jiaotong University and completed his medical degree in Western medicine in 1983 followed by a Master�s degree in Hospital Administration at the University of the Philippines in 1988.

He first heard of Dr. Guo in 1989 when his own father sent him a copy of Guo�s Dong Yi Gong, a treatise on the use of mind power in healing. It was not until several years later, in 1993, that they finally met in person. By then Dr. Sha had been spreading Dr. Guo�s Dong Yi Gong and Zhi Neng Medicine precepts in the Philippines and Canada. At that time, Dr. Guo named Dr. Sha his first disciple and master teacher of Zhi Neng Medicine. In 1994, Dr. Sha became Dr. Guo�s worldwide representative.

In 1996, Dr. Sha published Zhi Neng Medicine: Revolutionary Self-Healing Methods from China to bring Zhi Neng Medicine to the West. In 1999, he appeared with Dr. Guo in a documentary produced for the Public Broadcasting System called Qigong: Ancient Chinese Healing for the 21st Century. Dr. Sha has written a number of books including New York Times best-seller Soul Mind Body Medicine: A Complete Soul Healing System for Optimum Health and Vitality (2006), #1 Amazon.com best-seller Living Divine Relationships (2006), New York Times best-seller Soul Wisdom I: Practical Soul Treasures to Transform Your Life (2007), and #1 Amazon.com best-seller Soul Communication: Opening Your Spiritual Channels for Success and Fulfillment (2007).

Dr. Sha is committed to spreading the messages of soul healing, soul enlightenment, and universal service worldwide. Every week, he offers free remote healing and teaches soul wisdom in free teleclasses and on two radio programs. In 2006, he held more than 140 events around the world to spread the practice of Soul Mind Body Medicine.

Beyond Reason: Simple Truths That Can Heal Your Life

You can't reason with illness, crisis or God, but you sure can try! Caroline will explore how to get through a crisis turning point in your life and heal, by drawing upon mystical wisdom, common sense and universal truths. Learn to view healing as an act to be experienced, and rewrite your journey to health.

Caroline Myss is dedicated to creating educational programs in the fields of human consciousness, spirituality and mysticism, health, energy medicine, and the science of medical intuition. In 2003, she established CMED, her own educational institute, which offers two programs, each running three courses per year, on Sacred Contracts and Mysticism. Caroline also maintains a rigorous international workshop and lecture schedule and continues a consultation practice as a medical intuitive with physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other health practitioners.

Caroline began her professional career as a journalist in 1974. After completing her Master's degree, she co-founded Stillpoint Publishing in 1983 in Walpole, New Hampshire. From 1983 to 1990, Caroline worked as head of the editorial department for her publishing company, which produced an average of ten books per year in the field of human consciousness and holistic health. Simultaneously Caroline began her career as a medical intuitive. In 1984, Caroline met C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., a Harvard-trained neurosurgeon who had an interest in the science of medical intuition. They began a colleagueship that continues to this day. During their early years together, Norm helped Caroline develop her skills by having her conduct health readings on his patients. During Norm's interview with a patient in his office in Springfield, Mo., he would phone Caroline for her assessment of the patient's health. The only information Caroline requires is the name and age of a patient and his or her permission. From that data, Caroline is able to profile the patient's physical/psychological/emotional and family history.

Through this research, Caroline developed the field of Energy Anatomy, a science that partners specific emotional/ psychological/physical/spiritual stress patterns with the diseases that they create or influence. This research proved so accurate that it became the subject matter of a book co-written by Caroline and Norm: THE CREATION OF HEALTH. Eventually this ground-breaking research became standard classroom material for students studying the principles of holistic health, psychological stress patterns, and the alternative methods of healing.

As a result of this work, Caroline earned a national as well as international reputation as a renowned medical intuitive. She is respected as the leading pioneer in the field and as a result of her work in opening this field, more than ten thousand practitioners are now active in the health field. From 1992 to 2004, Caroline and Norm developed an educational program to teach the Science of Medical Intuition. In 1996, they founded the Institute for the Science of Medical Intuition, which funds research in the field. This Institute remains active.

In 1996, Caroline compiled her years of research in medical intuition with her work in the field of human consciousness, releasing the book ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT. This book became a New York Times bestseller and has been published in 18 languages. To date it has sold over 1.5 million copies. Eighteen years of research in medical intuition led Caroline to explore more deeply the field of holistic health, specifically, the dynamics of healing. Her research in this resulted in her study of why people do not heal. In investigating the underlying reasons why people sabotage their healing processes, Caroline identified a syndrome she calls "woundology," characterized by a person's reliance on the power of illness for manipulation of his or her world, as opposed to attaining an independent, empowered state of health. As with her other ground-breaking research, this syndrome is now a recognized psychological condition. Her work in this area became the subject for her third book, WHY PEOPLE DON'T HEAL AND HOW THEY CAN. This book was Caroline's second New York Times bestseller.

Following that research, Caroline developed her interest in the language of symbols, myths, and archetypes. Her medical intuitive readings expanded beyond gathering data on health stress patterns to including the symbolic language inherent to each individual. As a result of that research, Caroline was able to profile an individual's "Sacred Contract," a complex of 12 archetypal patterns that reflect in mythic language the agreements the soul made prior to birth. This research opened an entirely new area of work that drew interest from around the globe. As a result of this work, Caroline released her fourth book, SACRED CONTRACTS, which became her third New York Times bestseller. This book has also been published in 18 languages and reports sales of well over 1.6 million copies.

In 2003, based on the interest generated by her work in Sacred Contracts, Caroline opened her own educational institute. CMED (Caroline Myss Education) offers two programs per year, each three sessions long. The first is on Sacred Contracts and the second is on Mysticism, Intuition, and Healing. The Institute draws students from nineteen nations as well as across the United States.

In 2004, Caroline released her fifth book, INVISIBLE ACTS OF POWER, which also became a New York Times bestseller. She is now working on her sixth book, ENTERING THE CASTLE, as well as her media project on the mystical history of America, which includes the book, THE SACRED CONTRACT OF AMERICA.

Throughout her career, Caroline has taught in thirty-five countries, continuing her international work at present. In addition to writing six books, Caroline is the leading recording artist for Sounds True, Inc., the major audio recording company in the holistic field. She has recorded with them since 1990, producing 30 different titles. Her entire library of recordings now numbers over 180. In 2003, Oprah Winfrey gave Caroline her own television program with the OXYGEN network in New York City, which ran successfully for one year. Caroline does an average of six radio shows per month and five newspaper or magazine interviews in both national and international publications.

Compassionate Communication

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 18:00:00 -0800

What is Nonviolent Communication?

Imagine connecting with the human spirit, in each person, in any situation.

Imagine interacting with others in a way that allows everyone�s needs to be equally valued.

Imagine creating organizations and life-serving systems responsive to our needs and the needs of our environment.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) helps connect us with what is alive in ourselves and in others moment-to-moment, with what we or others could do to make life more wonderful, and with an awareness of what gets in the way of natural giving and receiving.

NVC language strengthens our ability to inspire compassion from others and respond compassionately to others and ourselves. NVC guides us to reframe how we express ourselves, how we hear others and resolve conflicts by focusing our consciousness on what we are observing, feeling, needing, and requesting.

Nonviolent Communication Language: It awakens empathy and honesty, and is sometimes described as "the language of the heart."

Raj Gill, is the Director of Prosperity Circles Coaching International in BC Canada. She is a trainer certified by the International Centre for Nonviolent Communication in California. Raj offers coaching and mentoring, facilitates workshops on Communication with Communication and Emotional Intelligence in a wide variety of settings such as schools, prisons, teaching institutions and non-profit societies. Raj brings over 30 years of experience in teaching, training and facilitation to her practice. Two of Raj�s role models are Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. She is a strong believer in the power of human connection and compassion for resolving conflict and creating universal success.

Catherine Strickland - I am passionate about helping people bring more harmony, authenticity and personal connection into their lives through effective communication. I believe that typical patterns of communication can create barriers between people that lead to misunderstanding, conflict and isolation. This is particularly tragic in parent/child relationships where attachment and trust are essential to the healthy emotional development of the child. I am grateful to have had a challenging and fulfilling 20 year career as a consultant in the field of climate change and environmental management. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to provide professional facilitation, advisory and analysis services to many corporate, non-profit and government clients. As an entrepreneur and business person, I know the value of effective communication and have developed skills in teaching, facilitation and coaching.
My professional training includes an undergraduate degree in engineering from the University of BC and a master�s degree in resource and environmental management from Simon Fraser University, bachelor-level university courses in child development, learning and learning disabilities, and four years of part-time training in Nonviolent Communication. I am currently pursuing certification as a trainer in Nonviolent Communication through a one-year intensive program.
I have experience delivering Nonviolent Communication workshops and training to teachers and adults and providing one-on-one communication coaching to parents and children. I have also facilitated multi-stakeholder processes and workshops on environmental issues in India, the US and Canada.

Elaine Muldrew was born in Scotland and has spent many years living abroad and finally settling in Horseshoe Bay, BC. Initially working as a Project Manager of commercial building projects in London, UK, she has combined her love of architecture and design with bringing up her 2 children. During this time, Elaine indulged herself in the art world, curating Art Shows and writing a screenplay and 2 books. The challenge of relocating frequently with small children led her to search for some way to find peace of mind for herself and maintain her support of her family. Also, as a person of a similar yet different culture, Elaine was frequently faced with a difficulty to understand others and be fully understood herself. Discovering the process of Compassionate Communication, she has found an ability to express herself in an honest way and hear the wishes of others behind their words and actions. This has transformed all her relationships, and she finds the impact it has had on her family to be the greatest benefit of all. Elaine now works to integrate the Compassionate Communication consciousness and social change practice to all areas of her life and is passionate about passing it on to others.

Ingredients for a Happy & Healthy Life - Udo Erasmus, Ph.D.

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:00:00 -0800

For almost two decades . . . Udo Erasmus has dedicated his time to understanding the effects of fats and oils on human health, as well as the nature of health itself.

Most of his more recent days have been spent on the road, spreading the message about this largely misunderstood, but vitally important, subject. He has written two ground breaking books: Fats and Oils, and Fats That Heal Fats That Kill, and has recently completed his third, The Right Fat Diet.

Father of "Organic, Unrefined Flax Oil" & Udo's Choice� Oil Blend: Udo Erasmus, Ph.D., introduced the importance of essential fats (EFA's) derived from organic flax seeds to the world. He pioneered methods for producing unrefined oils made with health in mind which are still used today by manufacturers of flax and other oils.

Starting in the mid-1980's, Udo popularized the use of flax oil through an exhaustive itinerary of public lectures, which eventually led to TV and radio interviews. His groundbreaking book, Fats that Heal Fats That Kill, became the industry's bible on fats. Later he developed an oil blend which is an improvement on flax oil, offering a better ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6.

This oil blend is free of trans-fats and contains an optimum balanced level of all Essential Fatty Acids necessary for health.

Udo's Food Pyramids

1. Curing "Incurable" Diseases
Cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes multiple sclerosis, and arthritis are incurable only until we know how to cure them.
In order to cure ourselves of these diseases, we need to know what health is. Health is easier to master than language, far easier than algebra. It is about as difficult as learning to ride a bicycle.
Follow simple steps to avoid losing your health or to regain lost health.

2. Fats that Heal Fats that Kill
Is there a low-fat conspiracy?
What drives the Low-fat Craze that's hurting our health?
Discover why the fats and oils most people consume do not sustain our body's vital functions,
and lead to degenerative conditions.
Learn how to identify good sources of fats that heal, and protect yourself from the fats that kill.
Find out how fats, oils, and cholesterol affect human health.

3. The Biological Basis of Natural Therapies
What is health?
Why drugs don't cure disease.
What doctors don't tell you about your health.
The limitations of medicine.
A systematically organized presentation of the foundations of human health, and the use of food, water, air and light to build a healthy body.
How to develop a Perfected Health Plan
