(In Alphabetical Order - by first names - as of June 2008) underlined names are links to the person's website Due to the number of Guests that "Bridging" has had to date, we have decided to make it easier to locate them by setting up alphabetical links to each letter of the alphabet. That way, one can go immediately to the first Guest name for that letter instead of scrolling down the whole list.
Abigail is the true angel of "Bridging Heaven & Earth". She has been a guest on more shows than anyone else. needless to say, she is one of our favorites. A recent tv special called Abigail a "singing enchantress." Abigail could be described as a visionary singer/songwriter with beautifully haunting harmonies, multli-leveled lyrics, and a beingness that embodies innocence, knowingness and her angelic presence. Her songs contain a signature of youthfulness and lively inventiveness textured with transcendental agelessness. The combination is a power that has to be experienced. For that reason, "Bridging Heaven & Earth" has invited her many times to grace the show with her unique purity of expression. Adrienne is a spiritual healer, international teacher, and channel with a powerful message. She has developed a unique healing method which effectively identifies and removes the negative influences which hold people powerless to create positive change in their lives. Her book, "Divine Intervention", presents bold insights into the nature of humankind’s dilemma on earth today. Adrienne’s musical CD, "Water in the Eyes of Time", is a beautiful blend of ancient empowered mantras woven with upbeat spiritual music. She founded the Garuda Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to assisting people to become co-creators with God and teach them to have mastery over their own existence. Agatha Rose Danoff: Agatha, who appeared on Show # 110 with Jaya
Bear, is a master musician, singer/songwriter whose new CD, "Terranova: Ascension of
our Planet" is a collection of thirteen powerfully angelic songs. The
songs were written for voice, cello, piano, flute, and effects. Agatha has a voice
of unusual beauty, range, and strength. The vocals are effortless, clear, and
spinning. The music is classically influenced, yet rendered and recorded to produce
a mystical, meditative, and heart moving experience. Most of the lyrics of this
musical offering were written by the composer and are of a very healing and mystical
nature; spiritual, but not religious. The oceans are renewed, our consciousness has
ascended. You are welcomed upon a journey to the higher self; one with God, and
reminded to know and to love ones' self. The song "Sacred Planet"
has prompted a passionate response. Many listeners speak of being transported to
another place; one where comfort and peace reside. In public performances, Agatha
has been asked to repeat this particular song as an encore by audience members on numerous
occasions. Alana, a singer/songwriter of amazing gifts, has just released her new CD, "from behind the veil....", to universal acclaim. Her husky and flirty alto is the ideal vehicle for her original tunes about struggle, sadness, love, transition, hope, and survival.

He has a great sense of humor and refuses to take himself too seriously. He is the author of four books, including two novels. His latest book, "The T-Zone--the Path to Inner Power", is a powerful tool for the growth of human consciousness and is the result of Alan's lifelong healing pursuits. It is a clear, concise, no-nonsense book about growing your soul, healing your life, and accelerating your evolution.

Iran who is blessed with an unusual gift for healing. The thousands of people he
has healed refer to him as Dr. Ali and for them he has been the cure to their ills where
no other doctor has been able to help. Ali stresses that what he does is complimentary to
traditional medicine and urges the people he works on to continue on any medication they
may be taking and/or health regimen set up by their primary physician. He states that his
ability to heal people is a God-given gift. Ali has been put to the test in several other countries. He has been tested in
France, Switzerland and the United States. The electromagnetic energy emitted from his
hands and his telepathic abilities have been tested and proven at the National Center for
Scientific Research in France (CNRS Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), a
private research facility in Switzerland, and at Princeton University in the United States
to name a few. At a private research facility in Geneva, Switzerland nine thousand
tests were performed on Ali over a two-year period. Mostly the tests involved attempting
to prove or disprove his mental telepathy and E.S.P. (Extra Sensory Perception) abilities.
Six thousand of these tests proved his abilities to be one hundred percent accurate. Ali, who appeared on Show #7, is a extraordinary visionary artist who has produced a series of angelic paintings, posters and cards that are truly inspirational.

Anamika: Anamika, who appeared on Show #12, is a spiritual teacher and healer who is traveling the world bringing her message of love, unity, and oneness to everyone and anyone who can hear.

There have been reports of healings through his paintings. After an intensive education at The Academy of Music in Denmark, Anne Marie, who appeared on Show # 115 with Thom Hartmann, pursued her career in the theater. She performed in two wonderful and well-received musicals: "Les Miserables" and "Grease". Anne Marie also had her own show broadcast on The Danish National Radio Station in Copenhagen. However, she finally realized that her main goal and focus would be to write, record, and perform her own songs. Anne Marie feels blessed by her gifts and is very thankful for the possibility of sharing these musical and spiritual moments with other soul mates all over the world. She bases herself in her hometown of Copenhagen, Denmark, and in Santa Barbara and she really enjoys the best of two worlds. Anne Marie's European/Scandanavian musical roots combine with the unique West Coast sound to make her music truly powerful and delightful.

Shanti Shivani and Heather Anne Harder and "Bridging" Show # 154 with Donna
Leslie Thomson, is a performer of improvised vocal music and an established recording

fusing East Indian, South American or Flamenco flavors with old European Musical
Traditions like Gregorian Chant. Her voice is soothing and expressive, and she accompanies
herself with the East Indian tambura and the violin. Ann Marie, who is also an internationally acclaimed author, teacher, and healer, believes that only love can heal. After extensive study in many different modalities of alternative health, she consolidated all of her knowledge and training to form a simple and understandable philosophy of health and healing. Ann Marie's Synchronistic Attunements and the divinely inspired Harmonic Essences align the energy systems of the body, raising the amplitude and flow of the life-force energy system, thus releasing the body's innate ability to heal itself and restore the incredible inner power of the body to its perfected state of being. Ann, who appeared on Shows # 48 and 167, was born in Glasgow, Scotland and was schooled in England. She started her career as a top photographic model in London and Europe. After moving to Los Angeles, she worked as an actress in theater, film, and television for the next ten years. In 1996, after living in the San Juan Islands and interacting daily with the resident Orca whale pods of the Puget Sound, Ann wanted to formulate a non-profit organization to help protect all whales and dolphins. After extensive research and investigation regarding the well-being of these majestic creatures--especially from the physical and mental abuse that she saw at Sea World and other captive "swim-with-dolphin" industries--she created the Universal Cetacean Institute. Ann has traveled extensively around the world to study with spiritual teachers. She has spent considerable time in India, particularly with her teacher in the Himalayas. She has a rich background in psychology and metaphysics. She received her PHD in Metaphysical Science from the University of Metaphysics in California. In 1995, Ann was initiated into the sacred healing teachings of Reiki. She is a third-degree Usui Reiki master. Ann works as a private counselor whose aim is to assist others on their journey through life--and to educate and enlighten--through higher states of awareness. She has been referred to as a living "Muse" due to her ability to brighten anyone's spirit in her company. She has a gentle loving nature that uplifts and inspires whomever she's with. Ann is also hosting two radio programs on the garden island of Kaua'i, Hawaii. One of the radio shows, "Truth from the Source", airs throughout Hawaii and streams worldwide on the internet every Sunday. For almost six years, "Truth from the Source" has successfully brought many leading authorities and international authors on air to discuss cutting edge environmental, health, and spiritual issues that are rarely discussed on most other talk shows. Her mission is to inform the public about alternative ways to live a healthier, more conscious life style and to create a healthier environment by becoming part of a global solution and not be part of the problem.
Antiquala: Antiquala, who appeared on the very first show, moves creatively through what she calls "Dreamweaving" where she energetically weaves and transmits frequencies of light and sound which promotes healing and balancing, while accelerating energies connecting the human with the divine. In her work she balances the feminine and the masculine and activates Goddess energy spontaneously through dance, hands-on healing, and vocalizations. How
Apollo (who appeared on Bridging Show # 227) Describes His Journey: “I am Apollo. I am an Environmental Artist. I only go by the one name. This is way I received it. I was in an automobile accident in 1973. I was driving a VW bus and the brakes went out. I tried to avoid hitting the truck in front of me. Instead I hit the curb and was hurled into a tree going about 60 mph. I saw everything in slow motion and was watching as if I were outside my body. I felt that I was going through the death experience, but there was no fear and no pain. I saw myself go through the windshield and land head first in the street. At this time, I acknowledged my own death. I felt free and was immediately pulled away into a vortex of rainbow colored energy. The best way I can describe it is to compare it with the way a worm hole in space has been depicted in the Star Trek series. I found myself breaking through this incredibly intense blue white light and all of a sudden I was walking through the most beautiful valley with a being that looked like how Christ is generally described. He was dressed all in white and had white hair and beard and electric blue eyes. The shear beauty of this place was overwhelming. Everything seemed to glow with its own luminescence. Indeed it was heavenly. As we walked, I had many questions about life, death, religion, wars, suffering and a multitude of other things. We communicated telepathically without the use of words. As soon as I had a question, it was answered. I was told that I could stay and work from that side of reality to help humanity or I could go back to my life on earth and make an even bigger difference. I was told that I would become an artist and that I would use the name Apollo. I was told that one day my work would be all around the planet and that I would be able to use it as a soap box to speak out on both social and environmental issues. I was also told that I would not receive any special treatment and would have to go through everything everybody else does. Just as I had acknowledged my own death, I agreed to come back and do my art. At that moment, I was pulled back into my body. Everything I was told has come to pass. The work is all around the world and I have had the privilege to work with some outstanding environmental groups as well as helping to raise money for several charities. I feel truly blessed.” Apollo
is a joyous and loving collaborator in the Bridging International Healing Art
Project and is one of the world's leading environmental artists. He started
painting dolphins and whales when he first moved to Maui in 1980. Apollo is best
known for his Marine Life, Endangered Species, Endangered Habitat and Tropical
Art. He combines the style of realism with a touch of animation. He captures the
essence of spirit in his subjects and reveals their beauty on canvas. A
fixture in the Maui art scene since 1980, Apollo gained a deep appreciation and
understanding of the marine environment through constant interaction with the
ocean and its creatures. While not engaged in his first loves of snorkeling,
free diving, and of course, painting, Apollo could be found hiking the rain
forests throughout the islands. Apollo's
current creative ventures include the writing and illustrating of children's
books where he hopes to bring an environmental and social message to children of
all ages. Apollo
is always creating and using his artistic talents to capture the world's beauty
in all its forms. His objective is to stimulate our awareness of the natural
world around us and to help all creatures and environments in need of
assistance. Apollo’s

Beth Bridgman: Beth, who appeared on Show # 91 with Divya Prabha, is the author of the extraordinary new novel, "Binary Fusion and the Millennium Bug", which compassionately expresses the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. Her powerful explanations regarding the fusion of science, spirit, and technology in the coming period of vastly increased human consciousness are clearly and persuasively told. The novel is a suspenseful story that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat while educating, enlightening, and inspiring. It is a parable that merges the information of leading-edge scientific theories and spiritual insights with emotion for a whole-brain look at what could happen with Y2K. Descending from a Royal Indian heritage,
Bhupinder, who appeared on Bridging Show # 210 with Dr, Kathleen Almgren, was born in 1935 in northern India.
On the third day of his life, a Tuesday, he refused to have nourishment
placed into his mouth. He naturally
fasted every Tuesday thereafter, which turned out to be the holy fasting day for
the revered Hindu monkey-god Hanuman.
It did not take long for Bhupinder’s parents to realize his enlightened state
of being, and knew this special child was indeed blessed by God.
At three years of age, he began to experience visions and became a
channel to express the necessary words to heal others, even though he himself
could not fully understand the meaning at such an early age.
News of the enlightened child spread, and over the years, people came to him seeking answers to their health problems and questioning what the future held in store for them. He always spoke accurately and with innate wisdom. In time, his visions led him to begin healing people through a unique and ancient technique that he has now used with great success for over 40 years, restoring good health to the multitudes. Prior to patient healing, Bhupinder uses his Yogi Shakti to scan the body for the root cause of the ailment. Once understood, he would begin the healing session. Drugs or surgery are never used, and there are no side effects. Bhupinder received his Masters Degrees in Yoga, Magnet Therapy, and Nari Pathy (science of the nervous system). He also received his PhD in Alternative Systems of Medicines from the University of Patna/India and joined the Indian Board of Alternative Medicine in Calcutta. His titles include: I.A.M.A.(USA)-President, I.A.M.A.C.(Canada)-President, N.H.F.I. (USA)Vice President, A.C.I.A.I.I.(USA)-Vice President, V.K.A.M.A.(INDIA)-President, N.H.U.P (INDIA)-Director. Other degrees include: Ordained Minister/International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregations, Certified Spiritual Healer/ International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregations, Diplomat of Earth Stewardship/International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregations. Bhupinder is also the Vice President of the Natural Healing Foundation, Inc.(Member-International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregations). In 1995 on World Health Day, Bhupinder was the humble recipient of the Shiromani award, the (Indian) Nobel Prize, presented to him by no other than Holy Mother Teresa herself. This award was granted for 19 specific years of using his unique healing technique, healing millions of people along the way, including a good number of Indian dignitaries. Bhupinder attributes any and all of his success to the divine Grace of God; he explains that he administers the treatment, but God does the healing. Bhupinder's website is:

The author of the exceptional new book, "The Path—From Illusion to Freedom", Bill, who appeared on Show #56, is a teacher of enormous insight. "The Path" leads the reader on a thought-provoking journey through the understanding of consciousness as Bill presents ancient and immutable principles in the light of modern understanding. The teaching is designed to awaken us to a sense of balance and freedom from the mass-delusion most of us call life—the end result: a practical evolution of consciousness that can be used in day-to-day existence to develop a profound sense of awe for all that is. Bob, who appeared on Show #37, is an author, spiritual teacher, clear channel of the Ascended Masters, and founder of Council of Light, International, an organization for consciousness, enlightenment, and healing.

Bonnie, with her partner, David, who appeared on Show # 137 are co creators of GaiaStar Mandalas, ecstatic visions of the living earth. Their goal in creating their magnificent artwork and evolutionary services is to catalyze the awakening of global being. In 1993, after 20 years of intensive spiritual practice, they found themselves drawn into a life-changing embrace with the Earth. In order to comprehend the process they were going through, they began making art. By working with close-up photographs of Nature, using collage and computer software, they created images that conveyed the alchemical fusion of heavenly and earthly elements into a new self-luminous reality. They call this lit-up world the GaiaStar. "We thought of ourselves as translators; people who decipher a message in one language and encode it into another. We had the experience of making contact at a core level with our planet and finding it full of spirit-light and presence. Our immediate mission was to find a way to "notate", in the form of visual (photographic) information, the vibrational essences we drew from that contact. When we selected a portion of a photograph, it became a bit of source code, which we reassembled into mandala images. The images could then speak in the Earth’s visual voice about the emergence of a new global possibility." Brian David Anderson: Brian, who appeared on Show # 84 with Craig Russel and Paul Armitage, is a world-renowned teacher, healer, and workshop leader. He is the inventor of the Quantum Disk and author of the new book, "The Rhythms of Nature." His workshops help to stimulate the Thymus Gland of the human body via awareness and insight of the true structure of the molecular levels and the balancing and projecting of energy and emotional vortex centers. Brian's intention on this "Bridging" show is to perform seven chants for balancing the Chakras with drums and a Tibetan bell. Buddy, who appeared on Show # 108 with Randy Fahrbach, is the "Modern Miracles Reporter". He investigates unexplained phenomena which he calls modern miracles and has come to conclusions about their meaning and significance. As a TV pioneer and popular talk show guest, he presents mounting evidence that an extraordinary spiritual force is hard at work around the world. Buddy’s investigation of these miracle reports has uncovered amazing links among these seemingly random happenings. As a result, he believes another large-scale "miracle" is about to occur. "If I’m right," he says, "we will soon be privileged to witness the most extraordinary transformation that has ever taken place in the world-something that will change the world in every department for the better, and will show the aim and purpose of life itself." Buddy speaks nationally about The Miracle Behind the Miracles and has been interviewed on over 1,000 radio and TV programs. Katie, since her spontaneous awakening in 1986, has been formulating a way to retain the gift of inner clarity. This way became known as "The Work." With Katie as the inspiration, "The Work" has spread worldwide, giving everyone the opportunity to experience inner freedom and peace of mind. "The Work" shows how to look at the thoughts and beliefs that keep us from living and knowing true freedom, how to see our old confusion in a new light...and how to transform into a more free and awakened being. We at "Bridging" are extremely excited to to be able to bring to you Katie's loving compassion, inspiration, and extraordinary sense of humor and humbleness. Katie appeared on "Bridging" Show # 67 with the Musical Videos of Kate Wolf and the Rainbow Tribe Gathering. Carla, who appeared on Show # 126 with Suzanne Teng, through her own seeking has become a keen observer and practitioner of life's possibilities. She has lived and traveled widely.

On this show Carol talks about how to make life an adventure as you discover and fulfill your life purpose. She shows us the importance of listening to our intuitive attention and following synchronicities—ideas she covers in her book, The Purpose of Your Life, (featured on Oprah!).

In all of Kleefeld's works, one feels an uncanny intimacy with life forces; she is a transformative creature in an experimental relationship with the world, empty of foregone conclusions - as in Zen - as in Romantic thought. Her newly published book, "The Alchemy of Possibility; Reinventing Your Personal Mythology" is at once a universal handbook for creative growth and an intimate record of one artist's passionate journey to the edges of perception. Catherine Andrews: Catherine, who appeared on Show #14, is a multi-talented visionary artist who displays many of her original paintings. A visionary video created by Catherine is also shown.

Cathy, who appeared on Show # 156, has been a Spiritual Teacher and Energetic Facilitator for over 10 years. She facilitates energetic frequencies of a healing nature taught, in part, to her by James Kent, who studied under and lived in the Oakland ashram with Swami Muktananda of the Siddha Yoga lineage. She has been acknowledged by several well-respected Tibetan Buddhist Lamas as being a communicator from the "realms of the Deities". Cathy translates information to those seeking clarity about themselves and their world. She teaches individuals how to translate their "highest loving potential" into this physical reality and supports all in realizing states of non-separation in a grounded, realized, way. Cathy reminds us that Life is the proverbial mirror and delivers the message: "To the degree we realize ourselves is the degree we create our own reality". The Norwegian singer Cecilia, who appeared on Bridging Show # 130 with Claire Heartsong, Bridging Show # 131 with Morning, and Bridging Show # 206, is renowned for her crystal clear voice. She grew up North of the Arctic Circle, where the people have to cope with 3 months of darkness during the winter. They have learned to bring light into darkness. Cecilia’s astonishingly beautiful voice has often been requested, and never more so than now after the terrorist attacks in the USA. Cecilia’s unique voice reaches 3 octaves, singing everything from pop to classical. She has 6 years of classical training from conservatories in Norway, Denmark and Germany. Instead of continuing the classical way, an unfulfilled dream came through. Cecilia started to train with a singing teacher in New York, Oren Brown, who was renowned for finding a singer’s natural voice rather than trying to shape their voice. Cecilia started her career in 1994 singing for 5,000 people in Sydney, Australia. Her first album, "Voice of the Feminine Spirit", went gold there, selling more than 50,000 copies. This album has so far sold 200,000 copies with almost no marketing. This album includes her famous rendition of "Amazing Grace". Cecilia started touring with such prominent speakers as Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Marianne Williamson and Stuart Wilde. All best selling authors, selling millions of books worldwide. The music on Cecilia's second album, released in most continents during the summer of 1997, was a collaboration between producer and composer David Lord and lyricist Stuart Wilde. David Lord is best known for his work with Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and Jean Michel Jarre among others. The album was called "Voice of Violet 19". On the basis of these two albums, this very talented Nordic singer found the interest of PolyGram’s staff in Norway. Cecilia signed a recording deal with PolyGram/ Universal Music Norway in 1997. Universal Music Norway released her third album, "Inner Harmony", in 1999. During the summer of 1999, Cecilia moved to Los Angeles. She signed an agreement with Northern Light Music to develop her style and music. She has been working on different directions and has been giving concerts in the USA. In 2001 Northern Light Music released a Christmas album, "Let There Be Peace On Earth". Cecilia has been requested to promote Spirit Aid 2002. She will do promotion worldwide singing the theme song for the event, which will take place at a 60,000-seat stadium in Glasgow, Scotland, in July 2002, and broadcasted by BBC to 1 billion people. Cecilia uses her powerful and heart touching voice to sing uplifting and inspiring lyrics and is also a member of the Board of Advisors of The Bridging Heaven & Earth Foundation.

Known by many as a "mid-wife of the soul", Claire,who appeared on Shows # 18, 34, 51, 75 and 98 and 130, serves intimately with the Feminine Christ Presence, the Ascended Masters, and Universal Councils of Light to facilitate the birthing of Unity or Christ Consciousness. Through heart-focused and deeply transformational communication, sacred ceremony, catalytic sound, and guided meditation, an experience of remembered Oneness can be realized. The coming forth of the Feminine Christ, at this time of great change, empowers the balancing of opposite polarities into harmonious unity while embracing diversity. The Feminine Christ awaits full activation and expression in men and women, the young and young at heart, and all races, belief systems, cultures, creatures, elements, heaven and earth. All life, without exception, is invited into Homecoming.The Feminine Christ consciousness that incarnated as Anna, the mother of Mary, is issuing a Call at this time of great challenge and opportunity. She is sharing her life story and presence with Claire, who as scribe and facilitator is bringing Anna’s story and wisdom to those who are responding. Anna invites the reader to enter her mountain hermitage, a contemporary ‘mystery school of the Feminine Christ’, in order to remember and fulfill destiny as a present-day Christ (one who has become enlightened) initiate. Anna reveals intimate details of her life as a physical immortal, a life that spanned over 800 years, and in eloquent simplicity and passion, illuminates the lives of the key players within the Christ-Magdalen Drama 2,000 years ago. She emphasizes that that drama was a dress rehearsal for the planetary and cosmic Christing that is currently underway. The soon to be published book is titled Anna, Mother of Mary. The seminars are The Wisdom Teachings of the Feminine Christ. Another example of the Feminine Christ is demonstrated by the Hathors, an ascended, inter-dimensional civilization that has served Earth’s ascension for over 850,000 years. Their extraordinary healing presence is facilitated through compassionate love, catalytic sound, internal high alchemy, and flamboyant laughter. Claire has been a conscious Hathor emissary since 1986 and shares their healing presence through her life and work. Claire is the co-author of St. Germain: Twin-Souls & Soulmates. She is a Reiki master, individual and group transformational guide, SahuKa: The Immortal Body of Light teacher, pilgrimage and ceremonial leader, Ceremony of Original Innocence facilitator, artist and creative process educator, mother and grandmother, and passionate student of Life.

She has studied conflict transformation with John Paul Lederach and at the Eastern Mennonite University Conflict Transformation Program. In
January 1999, Cyndi enrolled in a course at the Conflict
Transformation Program at the Eastern Mennonite University.
She was astounded when she heard the stories of the
peacebuilding work that was happening in high conflict regions all
over the world. That
summer, she returned with a cameraman to begin recording the stories
of these ‘everyday gandhis®’.
Intending to tape three interviews, she returned with fourteen.
That was the beginning of the everyday gandhis® project.
Founded in 1999, everyday gandhis® project is a 501 C (3)
non-profit corporation seeking to tell the story of how peace is
created. Based in Santa
Barbara, California, the work of the everyday gandhis is focused at
this time on the unfolding story of peace in war-torn West Africa,
particularly, Liberia. To this end, they are supporting and documenting several strategic, community-based peacebuilding initiatives, with an emphasis on indigenous peacemaking, and traditional mourning and community-building ceremonies. Everyday ghandis has equipped and trained five grassroots camera teams in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana to document stories of peacemaking and to create a living narrative of peace in the region. These teams form the peace media initiative known as Peace News Network, PNN™. In close partnership with the Liberia Chapter of the West Africa Network for Peace Building, everyday ghandis recently opened an office and digital editing facility in Monrovia, Liberia.
DaEl, who appeared on Show # 161, is the Director of the Crystal Awareness Institute. For over 25 years he has focused research on subtle energy, crystals, healing, and sensitivity training. He has taught in 9 countries on 4 continents. He was the first western healer to teach healing to Japan. In February 1996, he was the only international speaker at the first New Age Expo in Asia, in Hong Kong. November 1996 he was the only American among 28 presenters at the first "Conference of Alternative Therapies" held in Eastern Europe, in Romania. His presentation was officially voted Best of Conference by the attendees. In 1998 he received the Martin De La Cruz Prize from the Academia Mexicana de Medicina Tradicional, at the 12th International Conference on Traditional Medicine, cosponsored by the University of New Mexico. This prize is given each year to the individual or organization that has contributed the most to alternative healing. He has been involved in Crystal Skull Research since 1986 when he was part of a team of researchers who went to Canada and worked with the Mitchell-Hedges Skull. He has since worked on 27 crystal skulls and is the guardian of Rainbow, an ancient crystal skull. He is now travelling with the skull and bringing it to the attention of the world.

Daniel, guest on Bridging Show # 151 and author of the extraordinary new book, "Breaking Open the Head", has written features for The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Wired, Harper's Bazaar, The Village Voice, Salon, and many other publications. He is one of the founders of Open City, an art and literary journal, and an independent book publisher. Daniel was a 1999 - 2000 Fellow of the National Arts Journalism Program at Columbia University. He has also been a columnist for The Art Newspaper of London, and an editor at Connoisseur Magazine. Born in 1966, he grew up in New York City, where his father, Peter Pinchbeck, was an abstract painter. His mother, Joyce Johnson, was part of the Beat Generation in the 1950s. She is the author of several books, including Minor Characters, a memoir. Daniel went to Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, then worked as a magazine editor and journalist,In the late 1990s, after years of working in the media, Daniel fell into the classic existential or spiritual crisis. Life seemed to have no point or transcendent meaning. He began to feel as if he was already dead, a ghost walking around the streets of Manhattan. At some point he recalled his fascination with psychedelic mushrooms and LSD in college. Daniel experimented again, and his experiences inspired him to travel to Nepal and India, where he visited Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and the sacred Hindu festival Kumbh Mehla. Back in New York, he began to study shamanism and the magical plants used in rituals. On assignment, he went to Gabon, in West Africa, and took iboga, a long-lasting psychedelic rootbark, in an initiation ceremony. Daniel visited a shaman in Oaxaca, the son of the famous shamaness Maria Sabina. He attended a conference on "Visionary Entheobotany" in Palenque, Mexico and visited Burning Man. He went down to the Ecuadorean Amazon to visit the Secoya tribe and take ayahuasca, a visionary medicine. "Breaking Open the Head" describes his own process of discovery, and a profound paradigm shift. Daniel admits to still being surprised - even extremely astonished - at what he has found. Through direct experience, he learned that shamanism was a real phenomenon, that direct access to the spiritual world is available to anybody who is willing to explore for themselves and escape the prevailing orthodoxies, the "irrational rationality" of the current system. Daniel supports the perspective of Christ in the Gnostic "Gospel of Thomas," who said: "Open the door for yourself, so you will know what is." Darren grew up on a farm in Mystic, Connecticut in a Catholic household. Although he originally found great peace in the church, adolescence brought many changes. He began to experience a shattering of faith and compassion for the institution of the Church. After literally becoming spiritually dead through drug and alcohol abuse, a depressed state lasting nearly eight years, Darren reached a pinnacle or "dark night of the soul". After experiencing a profound inner shift, he began his spiritual journey, which has taken him along the path of his own "Yellow Brick Road". Darren now lives in San Francisco where he works extensively with the HIV community. Together he and his business partner David Nelson have opened Castro Yoga, one of the premier yoga centers in San Francisco, where Darren is a spiritual counselor and Yoga Instructor. In his new book, "Spiritual Journeys Along The Yellow Brick Road", he explores the fascinating classic story of "The Wizard of Oz" from a modern, spiritual, point of view. He takes each character and place and explores it as a symbol of our spiritual evolution. This book is filled with wisdom and simple common sense; it is a profound guidebook that takes its’ readers on their own inner adventure along the yellow brick road of life. Darren travels widely in the USA and abroad leading workshops. DaVeed Forrest: DaVeed, who appeared on Show #35, is a shaman, author, and teacher who brings his remarkable personal story to us. His knowledge of healing herbs and music are legendary. A humble, yet powerful, presence, DaVeed allows us into his world of magic and wonder with music and words.

As head of the "Light Party", the enlightened political party, and the "San Francisco Medical Foundation Clinic", he is an acclaimed leader in the bridging of the spiritual and the physical. The dedication of the Light Party is "Health, Peace and Freedom For All." DaVid also produces many of the magnificent videos (as part of the Artainment series) that are used frequently on "Bridging." David, who appeared on Show #20, takes the audience on a musical journey of inspiration, truth, and healing with songs from his album "The healing bridge". The songs are gentle yet powerful. David is going to make a long-awaited return appearance on "Bridging" on April 9, 1998. David Cumes:David, who appeared on Show # 59 with Marilynn, is a noted physician and scientist. He has written an exciting new book, "Inner Passages, Outer Journeys", about his experiences and techniques leading groups into remote areas to use the power of Nature to transcend into higher levels of consciousness and to help heal themselves. David offers healing journeys through the organization he founded, "Inward Bound, Wilderness Healing Journeys." to Peru, Africa, the Sinai Desert, and Canada, among others.
David, who appeared on Bridging Show # 181 with
Miki Huber, began his journey to Peace and Oneness in 1986 when he encountered
the Present Moment and recognized it as the experience he had seemed to be
seeking for during many, many years.
In the early years David meditated and pondered and contemplated many
things with passionate intensity, often focusing for eight or more hours a day.
After two years of this practice, David began to seek the company of
others who were similarly interested in Living in the Present Moment. In 1991 David was
impelled to make another leap of trust and to begin traveling around the United
States and Canada, sharing his clarity of understanding related to the Present
Moment and the experience of Oneness. David
found that it was constant joy and peace that was the best teacher in all
encounters, and that it was this peace that all his brothers and sisters were
seeking. David has never
charged for his time, teaching or anything and he been supported entirely by
love offerings. In all his years of traveling and sharing the wisdom of Now,
David has become a living demonstration of the principles of the Present Moment
and Inner Peace. David can be e-mailed at: david@awakening-mind.org
or called at: 513-542-6912 David travels the country conducting workshops and retreats on Healing. From a grass roots level, David’s workshops are now being recognized across the country by thousands of people, as the finest of their kind in creating and providing an experience of healing, love, nurturing and empowerment. These seminars include topics on healing the wounds of childhood, improving relationships, men’s issues and discovering your life’s purpose. David’s first workshop in 1990 had only 24 participants. Now twelve years later, thousands of people including over twelve hundred inmates in various state prisons have experienced the power of love through David’s seminars. David has appeared on numerous syndicated cable TV shows, local news, radio programs, and has been the guest speaker for graduation ceremonies, national events and numerous churches and organizations across the country, all in an effort to share his unique style of Love, Compassion and Healing with the human race. His commitment is to make a difference in as many peoples' lives as possible, for he believes that everyone has the inherent right to live with a free heart. David, with his partner, Bonnie, who appeared on Show # 137, are co creators of GaiaStar Mandalas, ecstatic visions of the living earth. Their goal in creating their magnificent artwork and evolutionary services is to catalyze the awakening of global being. In 1993, after 20 years of intensive spiritual practice, they found themselves drawn into a life-changing embrace with the Earth. In order to comprehend the process they were going through, they began making art. By working with close-up photographs of Nature, using collage and computer software, they created images that conveyed the alchemical fusion of heavenly and earthly elements into a new self-luminous reality. They call this lit-up world the GaiaStar. "We thought of ourselves as translators; people who decipher a message in one language and encode it into another. We had the experience of making contact at a core level with our planet and finding it full of spirit-light and presence. Our immediate mission was to find a way to "notate", in the form of visual (photographic) information, the vibrational essences we drew from that contact. When we selected a portion of a photograph, it became a bit of source code, which we reassembled into mandala images. The images could then speak in the Earth’s visual voice about the emergence of a new global possibility." Dean Brooks:After spending 20 years as a successful actor in both television and film, and having developed two theaters in Hollywood, starring in, directing and producing in each, and having become a Sensei with an honorary third degree in the Martial Art of Kenpo, Dean, who appeared on "Bridging's" 106th Show with his wife, Deborah, can safely be considered a true renaissance man. Now he has embarked on a career as an author. With a background in eastern philosophy, spiritualism, esoteric thought, and mysticism, the fantasy stories within the Magical Journey Books were born. The stories are written in the language of enchantment, naming spirits, angels, truth seekers, wise guides, magical swords, talking creatures, caves and castles, all intended to give rise to the inner mysteries contained within the magical journey of the soul, and all illustrated by Deborah. Deborah Brooks: A successful designer of homes and office interiors in Washington D.C. and Los Angeles, Deborah, who appeared on "Bridging's" 106th Show with her husband, Dean, had just relocated to Corona del Mar, CA when Dean discovered in a book about angels a brief description of the Amesha Spentas that appeared as emanations of light from a loving God. With no art training, Deborah literally picked up a brush and began painting. What sprang forth was a series of giant goddesses, angels nearly seven feet tall, some in triptych spanning seven feet wide. "I literally felt as if God was holding my hand as I painted," she says. Art critics have traded skepticism for celebration, calling her work "enchanting; ancient images with antique faces; seven emanations of Light who keep the world in harmony." Deborah and Dean now live in Harmony, California where she runs the Deborah Brooks Gallery; a world of inspiration, magic, enchantment, and exquisite art. Dennis, who appeared on Show #45, is a brilliant and humble spiritual being. His new book, "The Tao of Natural Breathing: For Health, Well-Being and Inner Growth" clearly, concisely, and vigorously explores how the power of natural breathing can improve our health and well-being. Dennis takes us on his own fascinating journey into the physiology, psychology, and spirituality of breathing, showing us the intimate relationship of the way we breath to our quest for healing and wholeness. Devananda Giri: Devananda, who appeared on Show #64 with Montino Bourbon, is a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tai Ji Quan Practitioner. He will share with us his vast insights into the Philosophy and Practice of Tai Ji and will offer us a live demonstration of Yang Style 40 Movement Form and 54 Movement Sword Form. Born
with intuitive and psychic abilities, Devra, who appeared on Bridging Show # 194, began interacting and communicating
with Arch Angel Michael at the tender age of six. As a child, Devra’s
family and teachers often perceived and dismissed her ‘one-sided’
conversations with Arch Angel Michael as merely an “invisible friend.”
As Devra grew older she became aware of many other angels, guides
and spirits around her and the individuals she came into contact with.
