INTEGRATED HEALTH

Matthew Warner


Matthew Warner is a Raw Food Nutritionist who has been teaching whole food healing for over 4 years. He has given countless classes and workshops in raw food preparation and lifestyle adjustment. Matt was the owner of “The Rainbow Garden” raw food cafe in Frenchtown NJ. Matthew decided to sell his cafe to go to school for his degree in Holistic Nutrition and Natural Health and Healing. Matthew is currently working toward his degree in Naturopathic Practice. As a practitioner of natural health, a devotee of divine nature, and a passionate student of philosophy Matthew is constantly working toward a philosophical and practical integration in his own being and developing programs to facilitate a constructive integration to his clients. Matt has utilized a Natural Health/Lifestyle philosophy to transform his own life and now he wants to share with others who may be able to find the happiness and satisfaction they are seeking.

Matthew offers classes in raw natural diet transition, food preparation, and any other classes that facilitate enhanced wellness through alignment with natural philosophy. His own personal background coupled with his extensive knowledge of energetics, physiology, and psychology give him very effective tools to treat and heal cravings, addictions, and emotional attachments that can become a great impetus on the road to vibrance and vitality. Matt integrates his diverse background in natural health science, fitness, yoga, energy healing, and philosophy to bring a unique and truly whole-istic approach to teaching. His workshops are carefully designed to not only teach, but to empower the audience by cultivating an intuitive connection that breeds deep personal realization. Above all Matt considers it his greatest responsibility as a teacher to live the life he is teaching.

SOUNDS OF CREATION

Rafael Bejarano

Rafael Bejarano is co-founder of Sounds of Creation, an organization dedicated to sharing universal, indigenous values through Art, Music, and Cultural Education.

In 1992, Rafael had a profound spiritual experience that altered the course of his life and led him to discover his gifts as a musician, healer and educator. Since then he has studied with indigenous elders and healers from many different cultures, particularly in the art of ritual, ceremony and sacred sound.

Through the use of indigenous instruments from around the world, Rafael becomes an “instrument” himself, as he is not just a performer but a tool for promoting a message of connection and greater possibilities for us all. His music fosters an environment in which to experience physical and emotional healing, creating a link between mind and body that allows us to tap into the potential of our hearts and uncover the possibilities within ourselves and one another.

It is Rafael’s passion to share the gift of his heart and inspire others to do the same..

CONSCIOUSNESS SHIFT IN 2011 – 2012


Chris Largent

Decades ago, Native elders, cultural historians, and seers predicted a consciousness shift between 1975 and 2025, with a focus on the year 2012. But the shift has begun early, in 2011. And it is changing lives and the planet.

Please join us for a discussion of what the consciousness shift looks like: what it means for the earth and for our everyday lives.

For nearly forty years, Chris Largent has lectured internationally, including talks given for the New York Open Center, New York’s School for Practical Philosophy, the World Business Academy, and the Omega Institute in Rheinbeck, New York.

He is co-author of The Soul of Economies: Spiritual Evolution Goes to the Marketplace (Idea House, 1991), The Paradigm Conspiracy: Why Our Social Systems Violate Our Human Potential and How We Can Change Them (Hazelden, 1996), and Love, Soul, and Freedom: Dancing with Rumi on the Mystic Path (Hazelden, 1998) — books praised by many thinkers, including the Dalai Lama, Stephen Covey, Willis Harman, Huston Smith, Ravi Batra, Charles Tart, Marianne Williamson, and famed Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko. He was also a contributor to the 9/11 book, From the Ashes—A Spiritual Response to the Attack on America: Experience, Strength, and Hope from Spiritual Leaders and Extraordinary Citizens.

Chris maintains his consulting and hypnotherapy practice in the northern Delaware, southeastern Pennsylvania region, and he teaches philosophy and comparative religion at the University of Delaware, business and biomedical ethics at Widener University, and a wide range of subjects at his own Seventh Academy (www.theseventhacademy.org).
