Kate Heartsong is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, life coach, financial coach and Reiki Master/Teacher.  She is honored to facilitate the process of evolution on the planet. Kate shares from her unique gift of receiving profound and uplifting wisdom while meditating, as well as the understanding she gained from successfully overcoming her childhood trauma. 

Kate's journey has provided the passion, dedication, authenticity, and compassion she has to empower her readers, clients and audiences in knowing their brilliance, helping them create the positive change they desire, and living more joyful lives.

After a deep meditation, she heard loving words - so she started taking dictation for guides for her life. In the days, months, and years following, she became more trusting. She realized the writings were messages not just for her.

Since childhood she dreamed of making the world a better place for all. It's not surprising she has received the inner guidance to create her empowering articles, and workshops. Her books are "Humanity’s Cry for Change" and "Deeply We Are One".

Her childhood trauma has been a springboard into the life she now lives. She lost most of her hearing and the age of 2½ when she fell out of a window and landed on a patch of grass. The hearing loss caused great shame and a low self-esteem. Family dynamics caused a lot of upset as well. In her early 20's, she realized that she did not need to live with that level of anxiousness. She witnessed other people being happy. Tired of being unhappy, she made a shift in her life to have more joy in her life. She started self-healing and over time, she became equipped with the capacity to help others heal as well. Her Joy and depth of compassion for others came as a result of this journey.

She was involved in transcendental meditation, and this helped her connect with spirit. Having practiced for over 25 years, she recognizes that her day is off without meditation. It connects her to her inner guidance. It helps her to center.

Kate has the heart of a true humanitarian. It’s her knowing that when we start with one person at a time, a ripple effect occurs supporting peace on a global level, because we are all interconnected. Kate's own inspirational quote says it best: "Peace within, peace on earth."

A lot of Kate's workshops have a theme to embrace our greatness. Kate discovered Reiki 18 to 20 years ago. She started feeling warmth in both her palms. The chi (life force energy) was coming through. She was drawn to learn Reiki. She moved to the teacher level about 15 years ago. She does long distance reiki as well as reiki on herself.

In her book, there are chapters devoted to authenticity. She invites readers to embrace their greatness, and the shadow side as well. She encourages people to live a life of purpose. She believes it’s such a joy and honor to be of service! She encourages people to transcend difficulties in life.

Kate has a loving relationship with her guides, such as Archangel Michael and Mary Magdalene - who helps her to write books.  In her meditation, she can feel immersed in that love energy. Through Mary Magdalene, Kate gets feminine energy, kindness and a deep sense of compassion. From Archangel Michael, she gets strength, conviction, knowingness, and communication. Kate feels anchored, aware and alive when connecting with these guides. She emanates love and joy.

Playful Heartspace for Creating Inner Peace meditation and Three Blessings for Daily Living meditation plus an empowering and insightful monthly enewsletter.

Liza Swedarsky, MD currently practices as a gynecologist and minimally invasive surgeon, and is dedicated to eliminating gynecologic and surgical option disparities for women of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds.  She is an Associate Gynecologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Founder and CEO of Heath Vows. She is also a clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School. Liza has been named as one of Boston’s Top Doctors for the past five years.

As a teenager, she thought deeply about how women can live healthily. Her mother was her greatest teacher about faith and taught Liza that God is real, and faith is foundational. She saw her parents' light and love, but also the dark side and the challenges that then penetrated Liza's own being, and her own body. She had an inner knowing at a young age about this internal power. Things would show up in her physical body when there was discord in the home. She started writing letters to God at the age of five. 

In her first year of medical school, she became educated about the relationship between the environment and the body. She had her own health challenges at age 23, and she realized - after a mystical experience - that the experiences and energy that we navigate directly affects our health.

Liza is also a licensed practitioner through the Centers for Spiritual Living and is a seeker and mystic who affirms her consciousness as one with God/Spirit informs her assignment as a medical doctor. She believes in the art of spiritual healing as well as conventional modalities and bridges both worlds to facilitate healing. 

One of Liza's mystical moments that she shared is when her father was big into corporal punishment.  At six years old, she had a very tough day. That night, an energy woke her up. The Presence told her (without words) that her life is so much bigger than this. She looked for that Energy. She worked on her spiral graph in the middle of the night. Energy was the way she first experienced God.

Another mystical moment Liza shared was when she was a third-year medical student. She started having stomach pain. She tried to convince the doctors there was an issue. Her father was of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, and she had an inner knowing that she had an inflammatory bowel disease. No one would take her seriously. She was having a pity party, asking God why she is experiencing this colitis. She got a message in the middle of the night to go to Jubilee Church on Sunday. The service was about healing and sickness. The pastor talked about how disease shows up in the body to teach us something. A Buddhist friend and she talked about intuition. He invited her to ask it what it is showing her. She had an insight. She went into clinical remission and has been for 20 years. She learned to listen to the voice. 

The voice told her diet is everything. She became conscious about how her body felt around certain people and in certain environments. The process of birthing a baby and the expectations on the doctor when so much happens in the womb, and the team dynamics was hard for her. So, she stopped doing obstetrics. She is internally guided. 

She also studies ayurveda and is currently a student at the University of Metaphysics pursuing a degree in the Art of Spiritual Healing and Metaphysical Sciences. She has presented workshops bridging understanding of how to apply medical knowledge and spiritual practice to set goals in optimizing health. Her true passion is to care for the whole woman: mind, body, and spirit. She facilitates weekly workshops and presents activities to inspire behavioral changes to help women navigate the social determinants of health. She empowers women to recognize and harness their internal power. Find her on healthvows.org

Seph Deitlin (http://www.talktomyangels.com) is a human potential activator and a new thought leader.  He is a conscious filmmaker, content creator, certified hypnotherapist, an intuitive teacher, an angel psychic medium, an author and an energy healer.  

Seph lived the good life as a successful realtor. He had a huge breakdown regarding a relationship and a couple of business matters. He felt deflated and depleted. In his upheaval, he wanted to leave the planet. While he had been a normally positive person, he asked God if he could leave. He had enough. Since he got no response, he asked for angels and proof that angels were there. Instantly, he felt peace. He had a knowing (and heard): "Seph, everything is going to be better than okay." It unlocked the angels' voices. They communicated through thoughts. They told him they had an agreement to work with him. Miracles began to occur. They would send him places where he could help people and help create miracles. He felt and feels like an ambassador on Earth.

They let him know that God had bigger plans for this world than what it would become. He was told that through a collective spiritual awakening, we would move into a more powerful state of being. The existing structures will fall away. 

Awakening to his higher self, he has been downloading insights, energy signatures and codes to help humans become aware of the New Earth. He wants to help people have smooth transitions so they can be heavenly guided. 

Seph turned his back on a life about making money to a life that is about working with the Light and assisting humanity with an important transition.

Seph is a human potential activator who assists people in living new paradigms where they are living from their highest self. 

He is the author of the “Ascension with the Angels Tarot,” he facilitates courses and events designed to empower others to access higher levels of conscious awareness through communication with their angels and the quantum field of intelligence.  

As an angel communicator himself, Seph’s message focuses on their revelations and guidance for humanity in heralding the new earth (a collective conscious revolution) and the transformational process that humanity is currently experiencing. 

By awakening to your higher self and are aware that the New Earth is coming, we become heavenly guided. When you are connected, you will be at the right place at the right time, so you have everything you need. For those who do not wake up, it may not be as gentle for them. He works with the Light, the Divine Creator and the angels to help people through the transition.

There is the spiritual (right brain) that is more infinite than the ego. When uniting through the divine marriage - we are uniting our Highest Self with our body. In this linear civilization, humanity has taken a long trip into darkness. When we illuminate Who We Truly Are and unite with the part of us here on Earth, we live powerfully and serve the Light very powerfully.
 
Storytelling was an art given to shaman to illuminate others. Through creating content to help people find their Higher Self, he created a production company to uplift humanity. He also does hypnotherapy as a deep dive into the Higher Self. He uses it to access the Higher Mind. It silences the human mind so we can hear and know things that are otherwise eclipsed. From there, miraculous things happen. This helps us get to the quantum field - the source of all miracles. We can get to the part of our mind that is very powerful. We have multiple paths, but it takes spiritual awakening to access our good.

Martin Theis is a spiritual teacher who focuses on the art of shamanic journeys and the application of the Medicine Wheel, a holistic approach to finding well-being, balance and inner peace in life. His coaching practice Light Trails Co.'s mission is to assist others on their journey from suffering to joy. He helps people with seeing life itself as the greatest teacher. He is a facilitator in a high vibration. In his own life, that doesn't come as easily.

Martin has learned from his encounters. He sees himself as a student. He asks how he may serve and how can he be more loving. As a spiritual teacher, he finds inspiration and growth in his personal life. He has been studying with Eckhart Tolle about Presence. 

Over the last year, he has been in many conversations about shamanic journeys. These shamanic journeys are not always plant medicine-induced. Martin does shamanic journeys that are not plant medicine-induced. His teaching is from the Great Plains Lakota. They use the drum to facilitate their journey into non-ordinary reality. In North American shamanic journeys, there is less plant medicine usage for approaching the shamanic journey.  The non-ordinary reality is similar to dreaming - the context of reality is not ruled by the physical laws. They can communicate with plants or animals, and they can shape shift into animals and beings, and learn from different aspects that they are meeting in this journey. They can do this astral travel while their bodies are still in the physical reality. Depending on the journey, they may or may not be noticed.

He has gone through this life before and desires to help others find empowerment. 

He is in the process of building a decentralized network of non-profit organizations that aim at building low entrance barrier refuges for people to find healing and regeneration all around the world.  People can go to ayurvedic clinics, but they are expensive. The vision was to build a sanctuary in Hawaii. Others may be interested in building similar spaces. There can be different locations that people can learn different tools. There are different approaches. Martin uses coffee as an income to set up the sanctuary - as opposed to raising donations. The network can support each other in building these spaces without the need to follow certain rules. We carry wounds and we need more places to heal. This network can help change that paradigm. As a spiritual coach, he helps his clients and the people around him through Presence in combination with shamanic education.  

He lives with purpose and incorporates a strong set of values that are the result of his journey and experiences. His life is a statement of love and being of service.  His heart feels most alive when he is in Hawaii and near the Pacific Ocean.  The feeling, the energy feels like home. The Aloha spirit is the core of the community - making sure everyone has enough. There is a high frequency, a lot of energy there. Surrender to it or leave.

Martin used to try to run from the pain and to find remedies, peace or happiness elsewhere. The opportunity to reinvent himself was appealing. A new environment and exploration helped him to let go and find peace. 

He used to hate Germany (where he came from), but now when he returns to Germany, he sees the beauty of it. Martin can find compassion there now. Coming back helped him to find more peace with himself. 

Martin values animals. He does not consume animal products where animal exploitation is involved. It breaks his heart to see the state that a lot of plants and animals have been in. He chooses to stand up for the things he believes in because he sees something that is not right. He does his best to not add to that.

Rev. Celeste's guest is Reverend Elzia Sekou, the Senior Minister at Centers for Spiritual Living Denver, Colorado. Elzia serves as the lead application engineer at LTCI Partners, LLC, focusing on IT strategy, process improvements, and system transformation. Elzia serves on National Financial Partners' Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Advisory Board and is the co-leader of the Black Professionals Business Resource Group. He is a former college professor, past chair of Cultural Diversity and Human Relations commission for the city of Lakewood, Colorado, a special focus young adult minister at Mile High Church and was formerly an Islamic Imam. He is an avid student of ancient wisdom traditions focusing on ancient wisdom, Kemet, Islam and the Dao. He has lived in five states and Australia giving him a unique perspective on relationship building and cultural differences.

Being an engineer gives him a systematic approach to trying to understand some of the spiritual principles. He is curious and trying to solve the mystery. He looks at spirituality as putting the pieces of the puzzle together to see the whole picture.

Elzia has been involved in diversity for a long time in corporate America. There are now metrics showing progress with the intention of creating a culture of belonging.

Elzia's  journey to becoming an Imam came when in college he worked with the incarcerated in prisons in Florida. Though confined, he supported them in having a relationship with God. Elzia grew up in the 60's when the Black Panthers were around. Reading Malcolm X and Claude Brown elevated his consciousness about Black evolution. He was also influenced by John Henry Clark, Ivan Van Sertema and Dr. Joseph Ben-Jaciman.

A workshop presenter at "Celebrating Our Soul", Elzia shared the roots of Science of Mind being in the idea of oneness and mentalism as referenced in the Kybalion with Egyptian gods like Thoth (Djehuty) and Greek gods like Hermes. Ancient wisdom teaches the law of correspondence. In these ancient wisdom teachings of African spirituality, we regain a sense of multiple dimensions of existence.

Elzia's mystical moment goes back to his mother's transition when he was six years old. She gave him a dog before she died, and that dog was with him through the end of high school, meeting him at school at walking him home. He felt his mother through a palpable connection.

Elzia wants young people to know spirituality as an active life experience.

Rev. Celeste's guest is Corrine Zupko. Her specialties are mindfulness-based stress reduction classes, mindfulness meditation training, "A Course in Miracles" mentoring, stress reduction, and wellness enhancement.

Corinne chose to be a coach because she feels drawn to helping people.  She chose to major in psychology and went on to get a counseling degree. She now supports people through spiritual teaching. She still has a stress hormone, and is a human who goes through challenging times, but now she has tools that work. She comes from a growth expectation. She knows there is something to learn through every challenge.

Corinne was diagnosed with her first anxiety disorder at a very young age and struggled with debilitating anxiety for nearly two decades. Her mother kept encouraging her to look at the spiritual text, "A Course in Miracles ". (ACIM). The ACIM phrase: "Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists" caught her  attention on her journey.  Because her anxieties have been existential, ACIM has taken her to the depth of her anxieties in meeting the questions of why we are here. The Course internally resonated with her. ACIM encouraged her to look at what is coming up for her. She refers to the Holy Spirit as her inner therapist.

She no longer needs to read ACIM every day.  She approaches her life with defenselessness. She gets radically honest and is willing to look at her ego, be shown by Spirit how to make a shift, and open up to Love. Cultivating the relationship by dialoging with Spirit has been the antidote to her fear and anxiety. When she recognizes she is not alone, a sense of purpose comes and a deep fulfillment comes from that that is enormously nourishing. 

When she is in her inner peace, she feels absolute love and connection with everything. It's a feeling of pure acceptance, of oneness with God and every other living thing. She feels a radiance that cannot be contained.

She started to write down what was helpful to her and it took seven years to write her book. It contains the foundational tools that helped her heal. 

As a mindfulness teacher, she has found that multitasking is a myth and is not efficient. Paying attention on purpose moment-to-moment, using our senses, using our breath, and doing a body scan helps us tune in. Being mindful even brushing our teeth can help us stay focused. Coupling mindfulness with a spiritual journey helps her watch her mind, and be honest when the ego-self pops up.

Corinne is the author of the award-winning book, "From Anxiety to Love" (https://www.amazon.com/Anxiety-Love-Radical-Approach-Letting/dp/1608685055). The book is also on Audible. She is an Adjunct Professor of Counselor Education at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) and teaches weekly mindfulness meditation classes at a major U.S. financial institution. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, a National Certified Counselor and Board Certified Coach.

Charles Geddes is a founding member and current President on the Board of Directors for the Big Sky Retreat. His steady guidance and profound love for this annual event are evident through his years of dedication to those who volunteer and attend. In his 50+ years of ministry he served what are now Centers for Spiritual Living, (CSL) in Tucson, AZ, Southern California, and Florida. He received an honorary doctorate for his contributions to New Thought through CSL and the Affiliated New Thought Network (ANTN).

Charles says he went into ministry for all the wrong reasons - he wanted to prove himself and bring about a sense of worthiness within himself that he didn't feel. He wanted to overcome that feeling that he was an abhorrent person being a gay man. Now, he accepts his soul as the sum total of male and female.

He knows it was his destiny to be in ministry because of the feelings he gets in relationship and purposefulness sharing universal principles about the oneness from which we all have come. Charles says we are gifted to be part of the presence that created everything.

As a young man, Charles studied Edgar Cayce but it wasn't until he was bartending to make ends meet, did he find out from a fellow bartender about the Science of Mind. Before then, Charles was adverse to church because he felt worse afterwards than when he came in.

Once going to the Religious Science center, he was enthralled by Dr. Laura Holman and became an integral part of the center. An anonymous donor paid for Charles' first two years of classes. He continued classes and entered ministerial training. Before he completed, he was called to minister in Tucson, Arizona. He continued to trust and after 11 years, he became a staff minister in Inglewood California while working by day as an executive legal secretary - becoming grounded.  After 11 years, he went to Ft. Lauderdale to co-pastor with Dr. Arlene Bump. After a couple of years, he created Bridges of Wellness for aftercare recovery and addiction. He reassessed where his heart was and created Bridges Spiritual Centers which existed over a decade.

Charles has been on the board of the wonderful Big Sky Retreat in  Montana for 47 years. To get $50 off the registration, register before July 15th at BigSkyRetreat.com
 
Black Lives Matter, COVID, the insanity, divisiveness and rage propelled him. Knowing he couldn't ignore it anymore and because he wanted to spend the final portion of his life in the mountains, in 2021, Charles moved to Clancy, Montana and launched a new non-profit to honor his latest calling “Mind Your Own Becoming (M.Y.O.B).” It’s primary theme – “Standing for all lives that have not mattered” and addressing key social issues. Its goal is planting seeds for future generations to awaken to a world that honors equality, love, and regard for all, without exception.
