Sunday January 11 @ 7:30 PM CST with Anne Jolles

"Life is All About Energy"

Author, coach, and speaker Anne Jolles discusses using energy in our lives.

Anne states, "What is possible with no energy?  Think about it… think about when you are depleted. Energy is necessary for enthusiasm, creativity, sense of humor, sensuality, zest for life and curiosity.  You must be able to find your energy and vitality buried among your life challenges. It is like having a secret recipe in your pocket that can be pulled out when you wish to tap into life more fully and access the unlimited possibilities available to you . . . ."

Anne Jolles is the author of Rise and Shine Anytime: Simple Questions to Wake Up Your Life and Keeping Your Sanity while Loving & Letting Go of Your Teen. Anne presents workshops, retreats, tele-classes and seminars designed to deepen the learning and experience the energy of her material.  Her presentations are interactive, energizing, educational and tailored to suit the group’s need. www.annejolles.com

Sunday January 25 @ 7:30 PM CST with Annamaria Hemingway

"Practicing Conscious Living & Dying"

Author Annamaria Hemmingway writes in her book Practicing Conscious Living & Dying: Stories of the Continuum of Consciousness about a series of uplifting collection of spiritually illuminating texts and powerfully thought-provoking real life stories, showing death as an integral part of life.

These touching observations of closeness to someone who is in the dying process, and personal accounts of near-death experiences and after-death communication, illustrate how coming to terms with the inevitability of death is actually a life-affirming experience. The stories address timeless questions and help expand our limited awareness of the nature of consciousness, showing how each of the individuals concerned has come to understand that death teaches us that the preciousness of life must be lived with a sense of purpose and meaning, as a celebration of our existence.

Annamaria Hemingway is a Ph.D. candidate and currently writing her dissertation on The Near-Death Experience: A Mythic Model for Conscious Living and Dying. She also writes articles for various magazines and her work is primarily focused on all aspects of conscious living and dying. She is also a member of the International Association for Near-Death Studies.

Sunday December 14 @ 7:30 PM CST with Robert Reckmeyer

 

"Energetic Forces in the Universe"

According to author and researcher Robert Reckmeyer, "Science has identified the fact that we are vibration creatures that resonate frequencies of energy."

"This truth has been suppressed from us for eons and is only now coming to light as a result of our scientific research. Quantum, Vibrational, Hyper-Dimensional Physics, Celestial Harmonics, Sacred Geometry, Torsion Waves and the Electric Magnetic Universe all speak to a new understanding of how we interact with each other and our environment. When we break it down into layman terms, everything is energy and everything vibrates throughout the universe. We are intelligent beings of energy resonating either brightly (positive) or dimly (negative).”

Robert continues, “We now have a growing understanding of such knowledge which paints a far different picture than the mechanistic laws of physics that we learned in physics class.”

Sunday December 7 with Moreah Ragusa

 

"10 Steps to Improve you Marriage"

According to author and coach Moreah Ragusa, "Marriage is the evolutionary “workbook” for you to become all you were meant to be. Ideally, spouses should help one another to grow; this way, we feel safe and empowered, but when our spouse goes against our basic desires, our primal fears are activated, and sparks fly. When this happens we tend to doubt our mate and our matrimonial commitment; this is natural, but if you want more love, emotional and physical intimacy, and just more friendship, do these powerfully 10 transformative actions . . . and improve your marriage today."


Moreah Ragusa, RFM, is a psychotherapist, registered family mediator, marriage and divorce counselor, corporate coach, a popular speaker, and seminar leader. She is the author of four books on spiritual transformation: The New Marriage Paradigm: Inspiring the Transformation and Evolution of Committed Relationships; The New Divorce Paradigm: Transitioning Your Relationship with Integrity; Rediscovering Your Authentic Self: Applying A Course in Miracles to Everyday Life; and Our Cosmic Dance, a candid autobiography offered as a teaching model for personal and relationship growth.

Passionate about sharing her deep understanding of spiritual truths and the human journey, Moreah has appeared on numerous radio and television shows including CNN and Fox News. www.moreahragusa.com


Sunday November 23 with Wendy Victor

 

"Feminine Evolution: Tracing the Roots of Girl Power"

In her new book, The Luminous Heartbeat historian Wendy Victor points out that women were once the divine figures of power, much like the ancient Egyptians who viewed the universe as a male-female duality. She says the concept of male dominance is a fairly new development—just 5,000 years old.

According to Victor, male influences have eclipsed the authority and impact of females, yielding a heavily patriarchal-spiritual world. Among many things, she says a move toward the written word and a departure from oral histories are responsible for rewriting women’s role in history and ultimately cultural norms – starting with the re-telling of the Garden of Eden. She reevaluates the balance between spiritual and terrestrial forces to reestablish the original covenant between women and God. Wendy appeals to women to regain their stature and authentic voices for the well-being of the world. From ancient times up to the present, she finds women at the heart of the life of their people.

The Luminous Heartbeat was awarded a "Finalist" in the National Best Book Awards 2008 in the category "Women's Issues."

Wendy holds a master’s degree in women’s history from Sarah Lawrence College and is a certified Feng Shui professional. She frequently contributes to the Palm Beach Daily News, and her distinguished community involvement in Palm Beach earned her the President’s Volunteer Service Award for Commitment to Strengthening Our Nation in 2006. www.luminousheartbeat.com


Sunday November 16 with Victoria DePaul

 

"Removing the Anger from the Workplace"

With the stress of a slowing economy, growing threat of layoffs and cramped work
environments, it’s not surprising that “desk rage” is on the rise. In a survey conducted by Integra Realty Resources, 42 percent of workers said yelling and verbal abuse is common in their workplace, according to author Victoria DePaul.

In her new book, Creating the Intrapreneur: The Search for Leadership Excellence DePaul uses her personal and professional experience to guide readers toward achieving true success in business and life. She explains that all organizations and communities are energy systems in which the basic unit of power is the individual. In order to achieve results, people must be empowered to experience and express their creative self. Only then will they be truly happy and productive.

Victoria holds a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies and business administration from the New York Institute of Technology. www.galileoconsultants.com


Sunday November 9 with Dr. Richard Needle                                                                                                                               

"Dowsing for Health"

Dr. Needle states, "The ancient art and science of dowsing with a Pendulum has been used in America to detect and treat disease since 1922. Unlike other forms of treatment, dowsing will detect body weaknesses in their infancy, as well as diseases in later stages with pinpoint accuracy."

Dr. Richard Needle, PH.D. has an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Emory University and a Master's and Doctorate in Nutrition from the American College of Holistic Health. He has taught Nutrition at Emory Senior University in Atlanta, GA. In the early 90's he was the famous Southeastern Juice Man, and you may have seen him lecturing and teaching the health benefits of extracting fruit and vegetable juices.

Sunday November 2 with author and coach Stephen Edwards                                                                                                                               

"Music: Therapy for the Soul"

Since the writings of Aristotle and Plato, music has been known to affect health and
behavior. According to the American Music Therapy Association, in the 20th Century, wounded World War I and II veterans made notable health improvements after listening to visiting musicians, initiating what we know as music therapy. Music has long been used to entertain, invoke emotion, rally individuals to a cause and provide healing, but can music provide a direct link to communication with God?

Spiritual life coach and author Stephen Edwards says music is not only healing for the body but also healing for the soul as stated in his book Communion-cating with God: How to Have a Personal Connection and Relationship with Your Creator.

Stephen holds a doctorate in spiritual counseling from the University of Metaphysics. He resides in Sarasota, FL. Stephen is also the author of Heaven Can’t Wait and Your Miracle Life, Life Transformation Beyond Belief. He has been an active volunteer with organizations like the Salvation Army, children’s homes in San Francisco, CA and Tampa, FL, and the homeless in San Diego, CA. www.seemiracles.com

"An American Women's Search for God, Family, and Country in an Age of Corruption"

Author Mary T. Ficalora  was raised in a devout Roman Catholic family that spent most nights at the dinner table arguing religion and politics.  It was during the 1960s and 1970s, amidst anti-war, pro-civil rights, and women’s liberation movements, that she found her voice. She has followed up her childhood debate-training with independent studies in a wide range of esoteric, historical and political areas of thought. The product of her journey has produced a controversial new book, Choosing Honor: An American Woman’s Search for God, Family, and Country in an Age of Corruption.

Mary embraces a pro-active, defiant tone, imploring Americans to wake up and take back the country.  She rails against the Federal Reserve and what she calls The Money Power.  She argues against all wars, especially the Iraq War.  She also believes that all too often religion has been a destructive force in society.

Mary T. Ficalora has been coordinator and online producer for Professional Psych Seminars in Southern California. She received a Seattle Emmy nomination for producing and directing the KXLY Video Rock Off and has a Producing Fellow certificate from the American Film Institute Center for Advanced Film and Television Production. www.availpress.com

"Do we Plan our Lives Before Birth?"

The book Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth? by Robert Schwartz explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we’re born for purposes of spiritual growth.

The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents.

The information about their pre-birth plans was obtained by four gifted mediums and channels, including one who has the ability both to see and to hear the dialogue we have with one another before we’re born.  www.courageoussouls.com


October 12 with author and teacher Veronica Shaffer                                                                                                              

"Healing Women in Prison"

The growing number of women in prison has alarmed taxpayers, child welfare advocates, human rights activists, and policy makers.  Veronica A.  Shaffer, the author of the new book, I Hear Your Cry:  Women in Prison, takes readers into the heart of a women's prison, where Shaffer went to teach prisoners skills designed to release them from their emotional and physical jails.  Her belief that the benefits of yoga and meditation could empower women who had experienced powerlessness and trauma, kept her pushing to establish a fitness and wellness program at a prison, despite bureaucratic obstacles, a less than ideal teaching environment, and an initially skeptical group of security officers and students.

Veronica graduated from Johns Hopkins Hospital as a radiologic technologists and later studied the healing arts with noted teacher Elizabeth Stratton.  She achieved certification as a yoga practitioner and teacher, and in 1984 began a long, happy marriage to Edward Shaffer. She has also led spiritual odysseys to Egypt, Nepal, Tibet, and India. www.veronicashaffer.com
