Efu Nyaki, a Trauma Healer. Efu's book, Healing Trauma through Family Constellations and Somatic Experiencing: Ancestral Wisdom from the Snail Clan of Tanzania (Healing Arts Press, November 7, 2023), explains how the author came to develop her system by integrating ancestral tribal wisdom with a fusion of two Western healing systems: Somatic Experiencing and Systemic Family Constellations Therapy. The journey to healing trauma is not always straightforward. As Efu Nyaki reveals in detail, the healing process is a complex ritual of energy movement on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Born and raised on Mount Kilimanjaro’s slopes in Tanzania, East Africa, Efu explains how she came to develop her profoundly successful system for helping people heal trauma by integrating ancestral tribal wisdom with a fusion of two Western healing systems: Somatic Experiencing and Systemic Family Constellations Therapy. She shares how her journey to become a healer was initiated by her grandfather, who told her the legend of the sacred healing snail of the Nyaki clan. She explains how she discovered Somatic Experiencing and Systemic Family Constellations Therapy and how combining these therapies created a powerful system for releasing cellular memories and healing the intergenerational and collective traumas hidden beneath the surface of suffering. Sharing stories from her healing work around the world, she presents action steps—such as meditations, breathwork, and creating a family tree—that readers can take immediately to regulate their nervous systems, deepen their awareness, and engage the personal healing process. Demonstrating how trauma survivors can transform their suffering into vibrant wholeness, the author shows how healing trauma is the result of bringing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of our lives into an integrated coherence.

https://medicina.uc.cl/persona/dr-francisco-aboitiz-dominguez/ Dr. Francisco Aboitiz, whose latest book, A History of Bodies, Brains, and Minds: The Evolution of Life and Consciousness, published by The MIT Press delves into one of the most profound and elusive questions of our time—what is consciousness, and how did it emerge? Dr. Aboitiz explores the evolution of consciousness by examining key events in brain development throughout history. His work brings clarity to the complex theories that attempt to explain consciousness, such as the Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Global Workspace Theory (GWS). These theories, while insightful, leave the fundamental question unanswered: how do neurophysiological processes translate into the internal, subjective experiences that define sentient life? In Chapter 14, for example, Dr. Aboitiz addresses the neural mechanisms associated with consciousness, weighing the strengths and limitations of IIT and GWS. He also raises thought-provoking questions about the emergence of consciousness in evolution and its presence in non-human animals and artificial systems. Dr. Aboitiz would be an excellent guest for your audience, offering a fresh perspective on these intriguing topics. Here are a few questions he can illuminate: What are the leading theories of consciousness, and where do they fall short? How do we measure consciousness in non-human animals, and what ethical implications does this have? Can consciousness emerge in artificial systems, such as large language models? What are the evolutionary benefits of consciousness, if any? How does the concept of pan-psychism challenge our understanding of consciousness? Dr. Aboitiz’s insights will not only inform but also inspire your audience to think more deeply about the nature of consciousness and its role in our lives. More About Dr. Francisco Aboitiz Francisco Aboitiz is the director of the Interdisciplinary Center for Neuroscience and professor of psychiatry at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. His research includes the evolution of the brain and cognition, and the neurocognitive underpinnings of conditions such as ADHD, autism, multiple sclerosis, and epilepsy. He is also involved in social projects, such as implementing robotics workshops for children in schools of social risk and screening resilience signatures in adolescent mothers. Dr. Aboitiz has authored more than 140 scientific articles and is the author of A Brain for Speech.

Speaker and Author Dawn Sanders Empowers Women to Rebuild Their Lives When a catastrophic event, trauma, or deep disappointment leaves a gifted leader feeling helpless, where can she turn for new strategies and tools to rebuild her life? Speaker and debut author Dawn Sanders offers a unique perspective and biblical wisdom in her upcoming book, When Your World Ends: God’s Creative Process for Rebuilding a Life (InterVarsity Press, September 17, 2024). The book is a lifeline for those who have experienced significant success only to be plunged into a valley of despair and are now seeking new ways to restore their lives with God’s guidance. Dawn Sanders’ work resonates deeply with women who, despite their achievements, find themselves facing unexpected challenges. Her approach is grounded in her scholarship and seminary training, providing readers with practical tools and inspiring insights for spiritual and personal renewal. “Though my world had ended, the world hadn’t. My life hadn’t. I decided if I had to be here, eventually, I was going to find a way to enjoy my time here. I couldn’t go on hurting the way I was. That meant I had to create a new life—one without my husband, Reggie. Dawn Sanders is available for interviews and can discuss topics such as: • New strategies and tools for personal restoration when previous methods no longer work. • The role of faith in overcoming trauma and loss. • The tools and inspiration for starting over. • The intersection between the creation story and our stories. • Navigating crises and rebuilding lives on a solid foundation of faith. • Seeing the three signs of chaos in the creation story as the beginning rather than the end. Suggested Questions: 1. What inspired you to write When Your World Ends? 2. Can you share a little about your personal journey that led to the creation of this book? 3. What key message do you want people who have experienced profound loss or trauma to take away from your book? 4. You speak directly to women who have reached great heights only to face deep valleys. How can your book help them find new ways to rebuild? 5. What are some practical steps or strategies from your book that readers can start implementing immediately? 6. How did your own faith journey shape the insights and guidance provided in your book? 7. What advice would you give to someone who is just starting their journey of rebuilding after a significant loss? 8. You discuss creating space to breathe and a source of water amidst life’s chaos. What practical advice do you offer readers for finding this space and water, and how do they relate to spiritual well-being? 9. How can someone who feels like they are in a barren desert, spiritually or emotionally, find their 'source of water' as you describe it? 10. How does your book address the balance between taking time to heal and the pressure to move forward quickly in our fast-paced world? 11. What message do you hope readers take away from your book about the power of faith in times of personal crisis? 12. What is one of the most surprising lessons you learned while writing this book, and how has it changed your perspective on rebuilding a life? "In When Your World Ends, Dawn Sanders delivers an inspiring message of grace and gratitude, linking the creation story to our individual narratives. Her engaging style and practical insights offer readers a new perspective on biblical relevance." -- Bobette Brown, transformational leader, speaker, coach, and author "With grace and understanding, Dawn Sanders addresses the pain of life's unexpected turns. She masterfully guides readers through the process of rebuilding after loss. This book brilliantly combines biblical wisdom with practical steps to rebuild your life and is a must-have for anyone looking to rediscover joy and purpose in the aftermath of upheaval." -- Alli Worthington, author, speaker, and entrepreneur

Opening to Divine Intervention Expand and Strengthen Your Intuitive Abilities and Spiritual Connection By Karoleen Fober With 450+ Divine Interventions and Counting, Karoleen Fober Shows You How to Recognize, Invite, Accept, Implement and Utilize the Guidance That is Available to You Acclaimed Multiple Award-Winning Book! Karoleen Fober has experienced t this point in her life more than 450 Divine Interventions. She knows because she has actually been tracking them on a daily basis. And dividing them into 15 categories. Why would she do this? Because the more grateful she is for God’s grace and support—and the more aware--the more these gifts show up to point the way to her highest good and allow her to guide others to a closer spiritual connection that opens their own watershed of astonishing, soul cleansing, preemptive and miraculous intuitive experiences. That’s why she has written Opening to Divine Intervention: Expand and Strengthen Your Intuitive Abilities and Spiritual Connection, an eye-opening and remarkable account of the awakening of her Divine intuitive gifts—including mediumship—through the last 10 years and her ability to offer readers the keys to their own opening. If you aren’t a believer in Divine Intervention yet, you will be once you read this book! Karoleen demonstrates how we have been Divinely designed to receive messages through God’s (The Universe’s) Electromagnetic Spiritual Communication System! Initially raised in Iowa on a farm where Sunday school and church were an essential part of life, Karoleen seemed from her youngest childhood open to a deep relationship with God. Prayer was integral to her existence. She also had a “knowing” or intuitive sense about people that came naturally to her. And while she did experience certain instances that she would later count as Divine Interventions, it wasn’t until the age of 54—then a highly successful financial planner--that her life took a very distinct “pivot.” It was then that Karoleen’s beloved mother took a downward health turn leading to death. In Karoleen’s deep grief –two years of depression when she could hardly get of out bed—that she asked God for a medium to help her reconnect with her mother. And, of course, God provided almost immediately! It was that conversation with the medium that brought her renewed peace of mind, but also put her on the path to awakening and recognizing her own gifts—many of the abilities that anyone can learn to recognize, invite, accept, implement and utilize the guidance that is available to them. The book—written in short vignettes that chronicle Karoleen’s remarkable journey, each highlighting one of 80 different Divine Interventions--is filled with amazing, surprising and dazzling interventions that fall into some of the following categories: Direct Divine Connection; Natural Healings Without Medical Intervention; Divine Lessons; Divine Pivotal Moments, Divine Readings from Others; Self-Soul Readings; Divine Asking, Praying or Manifesting (which come true); Appearances of Human, Heavenly or Animal Messengers; Dreams and Premonitions, Near-Death Experiences and Death Bed Visions, Mediumship, Natural Phenomenon and MIRACLES! Read with amazement at the Angel that showed up in her mother’s hospital to offer Karoleen vital guidance, the complete healing of Karoleen’s husband after a devasting life-ending diagnosis, premonitions that prevent disaster, appearances on-demand of things she prayed, wished or hoped for, and her growing ability to help others find peace, purpose and prosperity. Each chapter offers the reader questions that will stimulate the opening, awareness and invitation for a closer spiritual connection and opportunity to tap into the energetic frequencies, leading to greater intuition and more direct Divine or angelic guidance. Karoleen offers her 5-step ACUTE system for Spiritual Communication that she can illuminate for your audience.

https://www.patriciabonisauthor.com/ A Life of Luxury, Love, and Sacrifice: Jeddah Bride Reveals the High-Stakes Drama Behind the Veil of Saudi Arabia’s Wealthiest Families JEDDAH BRIDE A memoir by Patricia Bonis How far would you go for love? Would you sacrifice everything—your freedom, your identity, even your children? Patricia Bonis, the author of JEDDAH BRIDE (Conservatarian Press), faced that exact question when she married Rahman Abbar, the heir to one of Saudi Arabia’s richest families. The answers she found may shock you. From the glittering world of Saudi Arabia’s elite—private jets, palatial estates, and global high society—Patricia soon found herself in a fierce battle for her children’s safety, realizing that her new life came at a devastating price. JEDDAH BRIDE pulls back the curtain on a life few have seen—and fewer can understand. Once a free-spirited student at Wellesley College, Bonis struggled to reconcile the deep love she had for her husband with the suffocating cultural restrictions demanded by life in Saudi Arabia. She wasn’t prepared for a life confined behind curtains and veils, a world with little freedom and dominated by a toxic patriarchal system. After years of feeling isolated, Patricia and Rahman returned to the United States, where she hoped to raise their two children in a land of freedom and security. But when Rahman began talking about returning to the jet-set lifestyle, her dreams of a stable family life shattered. What followed was a bitter divorce and fight for custody and safety of her children. JEDDAH BRIDE is a testament to the lengths a mother will go to protect her children—and an unflinching look of how love, in all its forms, can push us to our breaking point. Patricia’s intimate narrative offers an unprecedented look into the isolated and often misunderstood world of Saudi Arabia, while delivering a powerful message about the power of self-discovery, survival, and the enduring love of a mother. PATRICIA BONIS is a renowned interior designer who has spent more than three decades designing the homes, offices, and embassies of some of the world’s most influential leaders, including top CEOs, ambassadors, and international financiers. In addition to her design career, Patricia is a competitive equestrian, actively participating in prestigious events like the World Equestrian Festival and the Hampton Classic. She splits her time between Palm Beach Florida, and Millbrook, New York, with her husband and their beloved poodle, Harley. Jeddah Bride is Patricia’s first book, and it marks a deeply personal exploration of her life’s most defining challenges and triumphs.
