Presentation Description:

(Lecture & Multimedia Presentation)

All oil production follows a bell curve. Right now, the world is at the all-time peak of global oil production, plus or minus one year. After that point, no matter how much money, technology or effort is applied; oil production will never again increase. This, even as demand and population are soaring globally. Eighteen of the world's largest oil producing countries have already entered decline. By 2007 absolute shortages of oil become apparent. It takes 3-5 years to bring an oil field online after discovery. We know what's coming. Oil discoveries have been in dramatic decline since 1964. There have been no major discoveries anywhere for more than two years. Economic growth (maintenance) depends upon oil. Food production depends upon oil.

The problem, simply stated, is one of population overshoot, collapse and die-off. The question is: How do we deal with it? What is the plan you would want for yourself, your family or our planet?


Presenter's Biography:

Mike Ruppert, 54 is the author of 2004's hot-selling book, "Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil". "Rubicon" was voted 2004 "Book of the Year" by the online review of books and was listed by C-SPAN as one of the hottest selling books of late 2004. Released in September '04, Rubicon remains high on the Amazon sales ranking charts and may soon have a second birth of popularity around the world as foreign language editions are released.

Mike is also the Publisher/Editor of "From the Wilderness", a newsletter he founded in March 1998 by mailing out 68 copies to friends and researchers. FTW is now read by more than 20,000 subscribers in 40 countries including 40 members of the US Congress, the intelligence committees of both houses, and professors at 20 universities around the world.

Through the newsletter and his website at http://www.fromthewilderness.com," Target="_blank">http://www.fromthewilderness.com, Mike has pioneered innovative analysis and groundbreaking original stories about the consequences of Peak Oil -- the fact that the world is at or near an inevitable decline in the availability of hydrocarbon energy, and what this might mean for human civilization.

A popular lecturer who has spoken in eight countries, Mike is beginning a new direction for FTW in 2005 focusing on breaking news in a world that is moving steadily toward global warfare and economic collapse in an effort to mitigate the consequences through broad-demographic education.

Alaya Ketani is a Nationally Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Mediator/Advocate. She moved to Ashland from the Oregon Coast a few years ago. Experiencing the magic and wonder of returning to life after several years near death, Alaya has a special fondness for the purity and innocence of Lifes Heart.

These therapies and classes enable women to return to pure birthing instincts, Essential Knowing, instruction in the art and science of birthing, and empowerment to trust life and the body. As an experienced Mediator, she also serves as a liason with the birthing team, relatives, and medical staff (if chosen).

Presenter's Biography:

(The purpose of this essay is to describe my experiences with Archangel Michael.)

Once I realized that I could call on him my life started to change. It all started in the summer of 2000. Two major events had occurred that led me into a depressed state of mind. One incident was that a love relationship had ended. Although that relationship needed to end, I felt deep remorse that it was over. Shortly after the break-up, my roommate and friend "Adam" committed suicide. I could not believe it. I was frazzled.

Two years prior, I had a friend's mother tell me that I was being guided by a spirit named Michael (later I discovered that it was Michael the Archangel!!) Therefore, during the time that Adam had committed suicide, I called on Michael for help. He led me to a book store, where one book caught my attention. It was "Healing with the Angels" by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. As I read I started to feel better.

What happened next seemed almost surreal. I was thumbing through the personal section of one of our local weekly papers. I saw that a woman had placed an ad for a spiritual man. I called the number and left a message. The next day I was contacted by a woman named Joni Jenkins. Joni invited me to her house. She could talk to angels. "Wow!", I said. She confirmed that Michael was my spirit guide, and told me that he was Michael the "Archangel! Michael had a message for me.

Four days later I was at some one's house I did not know (later she became one of my best friends Trisha). Trisha had been instructed by Michael to give me the attunement. She knew I was coming (Michael had told her). I was confused about what this attunement was. This was an angel healing group I was being initiated into that met (and meets) every Sunday. We channel angel healing energies into others, helping them clear their etheric and emotional bodies. This energy felt wonderful! I had never fel I chose not to go back, however. My ego had kicked in. I slumped down into my negative thoughts. They were familiar, and they were safe. But Michael would not let up. Eventually, in November 2000, I went back to the group. Slowly I started to feel the change. The Happy-go-lucky Jim of my youth started to resurface. I felt better.

As time went on I started getting wonderful healing messages from Michael for the person I was working on with the angels: messages like "fear no Blessed One", "know your true divine power", etc. Now let me say here and now, I don't use words like "blessed" and "fear not". They are Michael's words. I guess the greatest miracle that occurred with Archangel Michael was that I had come back to the loving, happy, funny person of my youth and had left the depressed, angry self behind.

The last great miracle which was life changing occurred at the ATP course in Miami. I asked Michael to help me totally forgive my abusive dad. He granted me a vision. I saw my dad's fist coming towards my face. All of a sudden, the fist turned into a hug, and my dad said, "Jim, I love you". I immediately started crying. This image helped me to let the abusive behavior go, and I was able to forgive my dad.

I believe that working with Michael has changed my life. I am seeing myself as a truly wonderful, loving person. I have no doubt that there will be more miracles in the future!

The GrandMother Drum International Peace Project is currently touring the Western portion of Turtle Island (aka: United States) from Alaska. The largest drum of its kind in the world, the seven foot diameter, crystal inlaid GrandMother Drum is traveling on its third world tour as the symbol of the Universal Heart of all nations and all races.

The Vision of the GrandMother Drum Project-

The GrandMother Drum, a seven foot diameter, kettle shaped drum was born at 4:00 am on June 5, 2001, after 13 years of prayer, ceremony and physical labor by the Alaskan community. The Whirling Rainbow Center received the vision of the GrandMother Drum from indigenous GrandMothers as the first international, multicultural, interactive "world drum" dedicated to promoting Unity, Peace, and Life, healing the separation between all Earth's children.

According to the GrandMothers, we are in conflict outside because we are in conflict inside. Healing, they say, must happen within ourselves first. World peace can happen only through inner peace, becoming that which we are seeking outside ourselves.

The GrandMother Drum is the centerpiece, the heartbeat of creating multicultural, multimedia performances, workshops, ceremonies and celebrations that honor the unique gifts and spiritual traditions of the diverse cultures of the human family with the theme: The Heartbeat of One Family, One Earth.

The drum is a living, beating symbol from the hearts of Alaskans that we are all one people, that Mother Earth is our one country, that love is stronger than fear and that peace and freedom are the birthrights of all humanity.

How the GrandMother Drum was Made-

GrandMother was born at 4:00 am on June 5, 2001, in a tipi in Chickaloon, Alaska, after thirteen months of prayer, ceremony and physical labor. Ritual artist, healer and visionary, Suraj Holzwarth guided the drum making ceremony along with her assistants and master craftsman, Mark Schoenhard, and countless hands of the Alaskan community.

See our building photo journal on our website at:http://www.whirlingrainbow.com

We honor the Athabascan tribes of Chickaloon, Eklutna, Tyonek, Kenaitze, Nondalton, and Qutekcak. For countless centuries their ancestors have held this land in sacred trust. We thank them for giving us their blessings to create the GrandMother Drum in a good way.

In thanksgiving to the Tree people who have taken care of us for countless centuries, we gave the Cedar and Birch a place of honor. There are over 1300 strips of Alaska Yellow and Red Cedar and Alaska Birch in the kettle shaped base of the GrandMother Drum, representing the womb or sacred feminine (GrandMother) principle. This womb is the sound chamber, holding and anchoring the heartbeat of the GrandMother Drum.

We honored the Four-Legged creatures that have also taken care of us for countless centuries by providing us food, clothing, and shelter. A Buffalo hide is the throat of the GrandMother Drum, sounding and carrying her message to all of creation. The kind of animal skin used in making a sacred drum of this nature determines the kind of energy invoked. The Buffalo carries the medicine of manifesting abundance through right prayer and right action.

Over two hundred clear and rose quartz crystals are imbedded in the kettle shaped drum base. Our Elders teach that the Rock People are the keepers of memory and assist in the healing and activation of body memory. The crystals were imbedded in a pattern known as the Sacred Triple Spiral. This pattern is actually a matrix of the chakras or energy centers of the human energy field. When activated through specific drumming techniques, the crystals in the GrandMother Drum transmit a high frequency healing tone, immersing the human body in a high crystalline environment, raising the potential for a deep healing of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

The GrandMother Drum's "Ring of Fire" Tour Pledge-

I pledge Mother Earth as my one country
I pledge humanity as my one people
I pledge life as my religion
I pledge love as my prayer
I pledge peace and freedom as my birthright
and the birthright of all humanity
My heart beats one with all my Relations.

Lecture: Awakening to Oneness: Bringing Fear Into Oneness Through Loving Embrace and Divine Grace
With Karen Anderson and Barry Martin Snyder

Cost: $15.00 - 25.00 Sliding Scale







Presentation Description:

Fear is one of the core emotions which anchors the experience of separation and suffering. Through the power of the grace of the Oneness Energy Transfer or Diksha, we will open the door to an accelerated experience of releasing the imprints of fear down to the very core roots which hold the illusion of separation in place. We will learn to bring them all into the embrace of our own hearts and souls where all once again becomes love and oneness.

Presenters' Biographies:

Karen and Barry have conducted groups and individual awakening sessions throughout the US and Hawaii for the last 16 years. They have been to the Golden City in southern India the last two winters to become empowered to give the Oneness Energy Transfer (Diksha).

Message From the Producer:

1970's and I was in college in California, believing that anything was possible.
The Vietnam War ended after years of demonstrations, we had been to the moon and back several times, and the personal computer age was just in its infancy. I remember thinking what a great world it would be when we finally made it into the 21st Century. Our generation, the baby boomer generation, would be in power and the world would be a far more healthier, peaceful, and loving place because of us, the dreamers.

It is now 37 years since those fateful days in 1968. Our nation is once again involved in a war half way around the world with young men and women from our neighborhoods being killed in the name of democracy. We feel far more at risk from terrorism in America now than at anytime in our history. Our civil rights to privacy are being tampered with in the name of protecting America. A clean environment, which is our most basic civil right and which was not a partisan issue in 1972, is now an extraordinary battleground between the left and right. The environmental laws that we so vigorously fought for are being dismantled on the pretense of economic necessity. We live in a nation divided. Most people feel powerless as the corporate landscape is so overwhelming.

It is from this situation that this year's World Wellness Weekend has been created. Last year with keynote speaker, Deepak Chopra, there was an emphasis on personal spirituality and growth. As we continue this personal growth and evolution of spirit, we now must take the opportunity to bring forward into our community the changes that we wish to implement. We have the power to make our communities in ways we all want them to be-with a healthy, clean environment, with the gright to live, love, and worship as we please, giving our children the best education possible, having food that is healthy to eat, and being able to choose what kind of healthcare we want. These are our undeniable rights. This is what "wellness" means to me.

With that we welcome two men who have followed in their father's footsteps in public service-Robert Kennedy Jr., as a champion for a clean environment and Martin Luther King III, continuing the work for civil rights for all people. We also welcome the hundreds of other exhibitors and speakers who have come to share their knowledge and expertise to help us as individuals and as a community to be happier, healthier, and empowered for positive change. Let's take this opportunity to take control of what we can control-our personal lives within our communities and therefore, our communities themselves.

When the people lead, the leaders will follow. I have a dream that we as a nation will rise up and come together to embrace the challenges that face us today and that on Father's Day 37 years from now my son and his family and friends will not be facing the these same challenges-that the world will be a happier, healthier, peaceful, and more loving place. But it is up to us to begin again,
right here and right now. Welcome.

Lecture: Honoring All Life - A Practical Guide to Exploring A New Reality
By Shaktari L. Belew


All Tueday evening events at
RVML are FREE ADMISSION






Presentation Description:

Shift your perception - Shift your world. It's that simple. Your experience of reality deepens as you learn to expand your perceptual awareness, and with it your sense of the possible.

Honoring All Life begins by exploring HOW we perceive. It then explores current perceptual filters - each offering a different experience of reality. Most importantly, it asks what awaits us - both individually and collectively as a species - when we dare to live life as a declaration of who we are willing to be - instead of as victims of perceived limitations.

This lecture offers creative solutions to humanity's most pressing environmental, cultural, and political issues.


Presenter's Biography:

Shaktari L. Belew has worn many hats and played many roles in her lifetime. She served on the Board of HeartLight International, seeking to explore and create a new paradigm of heart-led education throughout the world. It was during this highly creative time that she began to develop the ideas that led to this book. Her formal education is in Developmental Psychology and Fine Arts/Art History, yet she has had successful careers as a realtor, systems analyst, counseling kinesiologist, and educator. Perhaps it was this wide variety of experience that peaked her curiosity about how we perceive.

Her years of teaching fine arts and perception brought her tremendous joy as well as many humbling lessons. They are the source of the experiences offered through The POWER OF PERCEPTION(SM) workshop.

As a mother, she is passionate about exploring how to empower both her own children, and everyone to experience their own innate magnificence and that of all life. As a result, she created the Honoring All Life Foundation as an active exploration of what it means to honor all.

ABOUT THE HONORING ALL LIFE FOUNDATION

The Honoring All Life Foundation serves as a networking tool to connect those with ideas to those who can manifest them. It is a think tank intent on exploring an emerging new reality that includes all life in our designs, decisions, and plans. It invites each person to fully embrace the power and responsibility of their choices in every moment and to become deliberate creators of their own reality. Most of all, it is a celebration of who we know our deepest selves to be.

It's time to walk our talk and create a world that honors all - right now - with our next breath, our next thought, our next action.
