    On Butterflies of Wisdom today, Best-Selling Author, Win C welcomes Tien Eamas. A wizard is practiced at using the elements to create life and magick. Tien Neo Eamas is a modern day wizard, creating life, beauty, magic out of his artwork, his teachings, his alchemy, his consultations and his presence and lessons. His life has been a journey of transformation, from one end of the spectrum to the other, from despair to joy, from self-hatred to deep self-love, from seriousness to comical delight. The first Asian Transgendered man to publicly transition in the Vancouver in the early 2000’s, Tien has pioneered a new vision of freedom from gender constraints, having the courage and audacity to begin a trans conversation that is about creation, celebration, and Joy as opposed to the realities of hardship and oppression. In 2008, Tien created Happy Tranny Day, a day to celebrate Trans people. This event was the first of its kind in the world and has since become the Transgender Day of Celebration that takes place in annually in April. Tien is a silver/goldsmith and alchemist, smithing since 1996 and practicing the mystical arts since 1991. He has a Bachelor of Fine and Performing Arts from Simon Fraser University, Interior Design and Classical Feng Shui Certificates. His mystical and spiritual life training ranges from Buddhism, Law of Attraction, Feng Shui and Chinese elemental studies, pagan and faerie studies, herb and plant magick to personal development training with Landmark Worldwide. He divides his time between Vancouver and the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia. Apart from being in business as an artist, Tien is also a Feng Shui consultant, performer, inspirational speaker, provides ‘kick ass’ Wizard and elemental coaching, and is working on his novel and a series of workshops, spreading the power and magick of Wizardry, harnessing the elements for a magickal life. Media appearances include CBC, CTV, Home Makeover Magazine, Shaw TV, Ming Pao, The Transgender Project, MakeIt TV. He has also hosted on News For the Soul. His work has been shown at the Vancouver Art Gallery, USA, and Europe. Why I Do What I Do: I was born in Singapore in 1968. I was born a female into a mixed race, and class, fundamentalist Christian family; and my childhood was filled with fear, pain, abuse, unhappiness and confusion. In 1987, I came to Canada and had more years of struggles with family, immigration, finances, self-esteem and gender challenges. I was the first Asian transman to publicly transition in the Vancouver gay and lesbian community in 2001. I was incredibly lonely, self-hating, struggling in my new male gender and my business, and I was in debt. In 2009, I attempted suicide. The next morning, I had a hard talk with myself, ’Tien, live or die, it’s your choice. If you choose to live, promise me you will have loads of fun, otherwise go home to your maker.’ I decided to Live! Having experienced such depth of self-loathing, fear, pain and loss, I now know the heights of immense joy and freedom. This energy of joy, beauty and magick are in all that I do. I CHOOSE all that I do, and in this choice, I promise you my true essence, my love and delight of being alive. Choosing Joy is like creating a life of Magick. I now give my life to having a fantastical time. I imbue all my work with my essence, gifting you with the Magick of Joy and Beauty. As a result of working and being with me, I promise that YOU will be inspired and left with lessons and guidance to recommit and create your life that is fantastically filled with Joy, Abundance, and Power!

    On Butterflies of Wisdom today, Best-Selling Author, Win C welcomes Dr. CharlesParker. Dr. Parker is a Neuroscience Consultant, Child and Adult psychiatrist, and psychopharmacologist with a more detailed curriculum at Dr. Charles Parker and CorePsych. He specializes in diagnostic and medical services for troubled children, adolescents and adults. His broad range of clinical experience from psychoanalysis to substance abuse, to psychopharmacology and SPECT neuroimaging, to his experience with systems/functional medicine and biomedical assessments, provides a comprehensive foundation for more informed treatment interventions – especially for previous treatment failures. Dr. Parker is also the host of the CoreBrain Journal podcast where he is a citizen/medical journalist reporting mind-science details for more predictable, more comprehensive solutions. Today's technology drives significantly improved mind-prognosis - beyond traditional psychiatric measures. Speculation and guesswork are out - critical thinking, data and measurement are in. He works with medical doctor's, functional medical doctor's, research scientist, coaches, and more to connect advanced biomedical wisdom with everyday mind reality. Dr. Parker’s philosophy starts with a consistent practice of teamwork with everyone from the family in the office to a growing team of national and international providers with whom he regularly consults. With 45 + years of experience, he works with a variety of treatment issues from the challenging to the apparently simple, with patients who have multiple problems and treatment trials, and those uncomfortable with that first psychiatric consultation. Frequently he presents to a variety of national medical and lay audiences on topics from neuroimaging to advances in psychopharmacology, and the growing pervasive problems with the downstream brain effects of neurotoxins.

    On Butterflies of Wisdom today, Best-Selling Author, Win C welcomes Mike Veny. Mike is America’s leading mental health speaker and a high energy drum circle facilitator. He delivers educational, engaging, and entertaining presentations to meetings and conferences throughout the world. Mike is fiercely committed to wellness, suicide prevention, and helping people work together more smoothly. If you are looking for a proven speaker who can address the stigma surrounding mental health and deliver a corporate drumming event, then you have come to the right place. With 15 years of experience electrifying audiences and making meeting planners look good, his mission is to empower people to connect authentically. Mike’s path to becoming a public speaker became evident at an early age. He convinced the staff at psychiatric hospitals to discharge him three times during his childhood. In addition to being hospitalized as a child, he was expelled from 3 schools, attempted suicide, and was medicated in efforts to reduce his emotional instability and behavioral outbursts. By the fifth grade, Mike was put in a special education class. Aside from getting more individualized attention from the teacher, he learned that pencil erasers make a great sound when tapped on a desk. He had no idea that drumming would become his career or his path to recovery. Event planners say remarkable things about the impact his work has their events. “MikeVeny has an innate ability to connect with people, draw them out, and get them to participate. This is not an easy task when you are responsible for closing a two and a half-day conference on a Friday.” MaryBeth Schneider – Assistant Executive Director for Training and Self-Advocacy, NYSARC “Mike’s ability to connect with students is a talent that very few adults have. His ability to address a group of 200 students and have them engaged for well over an hour shows just how deep his talent runs.” Jesicah Rolapp – Principal, Los Angeles Leadership Academy “MikeVeny participated in our 2013 community mental health awareness conference and was nothing short of outstanding. I believe his candor, humor, and transparency are applicable in a variety of corporate and community settings.” Sophie Clark – Executive Director, NAMI Washington, DC Similar benefits await when you hire Mike to take your event to the next level. What sets Mike apart from other speakers is his authenticity and his straightforward, easy-to-understand tools that audience members can apply immediately. It’s that simple! You can feel confident having Mike as your keynote speaker or workshop facilitator. Mike’s perspectives have been featured on ABC, NBC, and CBS news. He’s a regular guest on The Fresh Outlook TV news show, a writer for Corporate Wellness Magazine and [HealthCentral.com](http://healthcentral.com/). Mental Illness is An Asset, his compelling TEDx talk, has been used in college classrooms and gotten sensational reviews. Five things about him and his experience that might surprise and delight you – while serving your work together: He does not use Powerpoint or speak with notes in his presentations. He’s a member of Meeting Professionals International. He writes for his chapters magazine and is a supporter of Meetings Mean Business. He’s a member of the Rotary Club of Wall Street. Being a Rotarian has contributed to his happiness.He loves to travel and is obsessed with luggage, packing techniques, and travel checklists. He takes his morning routine very seriously.
