Yasmin Boland is the #1 astrologer in Britain. She has researched, studied, and revived the ancient Moon practice used for millennia to manifest the future in the tradition of Indian yogis and Celtic practices. She  named these practices Moonology. Yasmin  informs us how following simple steps by anyone can change our life for the better. That it is not based on whether you believe in it or not, it's more of a practical way to build a plan with focus.  She calls the secret sauce of getting it right is based on preparing ourselves through simple spiritual cleansings and clearing our emotional state of mind.  With over 25 years of research, visiting such places as an Southern Indian ashram, she learned how all rituals of manifestation can be blocked by held grudges and lack of forgiveness. She explains that it's not about simply lighting a candle and making a wish, that intention is developed in steps, so it can be heard clearly and turned into a reality. Yasmin has been the No. 1 astrologer in Britain, as well as the top seller of astrology books/oracle cards in the British Sunday Times, and several other British periodicals.

Dr. Maya Shetreat will speak to us about psychedelics or Master Plants from a new perspective, that is long awaited as a direction modern society should take. The viewpoint from Dr. Maya’s experience is that Master Plants are really Beings of great intelligence, guides and mentors that deserve our respect as well as the indigenous people who guard them. Master plants are powerful healers that might be able to address the most destructive of diseases, physical or mental, but only by adopting this new perspective, one that erases the destructive relationship we've held, can we find this out and greatly benefit from them. She also speaks about Quantum Drops , a product she designed in the form of vibrational medicine. They are made on an altar at a particular Sun/Moon phase, guided by and imbued with the presence of the Master Plant, so these drops can awaken a greater sacredness in our life, because it's not necessary to take them into our body to receive their transformative healing.

Meet Nancy Slonim Aronie, a leading memoir writer, who she does not teach writing, but instead has learned to create a "safe space" for her students where only positive critics can be offered, no negative critics or judgements in order to get to the truth of each person's heartfelt story. She tells us remarkable stories of breakthroughs people made in her workshop that came to heal them and other family members. She is storyteller and explains how the life ordeals she experienced made her understand that negative, mean spirited critics of writers' work can never be used as a tool to help any person grow, heal or reach their best potential in their writing, a very personal and raw exercise. She tells us funny stories and sad stories, always honest and true to herself.
