Being one of the most respected psychic mediums and spirit messengers on the world stage, John takes his work seriously and treats it with the utmost integrity and respect. As he says: "If I can help people connect with someone on the Other-Side - by linking with the Spirit World - to bring peace, comfort, and perhaps some closure, or if I can help you to understand and tap into your own inner-guidance (psychic intuition) for answers, then I'll be satisfied that I've done my job!"

John was born with an inner sense of knowing - knowing that he was the different one in the family. As a naturally gifted psychic medium, he's studied metaphysics all his life, spending over two intensive years in England, training and working with some of the top psychic mediums. He received confirmation of his special psychic abilities after a near-fatal accident when he was 30 years old, when his unique skills were amplified and brought to the surface.

John's charismatic and lively demonstrations provide his audience with a rare opportunity to experience the fascinating phenomenon of mediumship, which he delivers with his distinctive style of humor, intensity, and compassion. When he contacts the Spirit World, one of his most familiar sayings is: "They want to talk to you as much as you want to talk to them!"

John sees his role as two fold. He loves to educate as much as being a medium, and offers a rare insight into the actual mechanics of mediumship, explaining every step of the way, just how he's linking with spirit and the different forms of communication, both in words and images that spirit uses to send messages through him.
John passionately believes that his job as a psychic medium is not only to help those to connect with their loved ones, but just as importantly, to empower everyone to follow their own spiritual journey. Often, for those who lose a loved one, it can cause you to question your own beliefs about life after death and as a spiritual teacher, John can help you also to tap into your psychic intuitive abilities and help you discover and recognize the signs and symbols associated with your loved ones who have passed on.

Doug Welpton
Do you want the marriage of your dreams? Do you picture the two of you melting while looking into each others eyes, treasuring your time talking together, walking on the beach holding hands, raising happy kids? I can help you make your dream come true. My book is filled with stories that show you how to change your life. Using the power of your mind you replace your mindsets that limit you with beliefs that fulfill you. You tell yourself, for example, that what other people think of you is not your business. You do not let what others think limit you. What you believe in your heart runs your life. You embrace and pursue your dreams knowing you cannot fail provided you don't quit. As Henry Ford said: "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right."


Lawrence Poole
I'm billed as "the only researcher on Earth who treks jungles …in a wheelchair". I am totally paralyzed from high on my chest but my pursuit of the "creative Intelligence animating Life" has transcended all of that. As you'll see on the website, I'm a death survivor - having had 4 NDEs and I can discuss any of that (or my journey) but I have 2 reasons for the interview: I've synthesized God's Intelligence as manifest in the fundamental force in Nature, and I want to let listeners know we have to re-green the Earth and bring the Biosphere back from the mindless thrust forward that it is reacting to. We have to understand Nature as a "whole system" …how creation is a delicate balance and how life deserves "club med" conditions.

Speaker, author, and educator, Jallen Rix has come a long way to be a sex expert. Growing up as a Southern Baptist, he was taught that spirituality was heavenly but sexuality was from the devil. He went to great lengths attempting to change his sexuality from gay to straight in an ex-gay ministry - to no avail. That experience set him on a journey of discovery that ultimately resulted in Jallen earning his Doctorate of Education in Sexology from IASHS in San Francisco, where he is now Associate Professor. This has equipped him to teach human sexuality at the university level as well as consult in private practice. Over the years, Jallen has become an expert on the damaging effects of, and recovery from, the ex-gay movement. He has appeared on TV talkshows, such as Talk or Walk and ABC's News Magazine 20/20 (watch his appearance on youtube). He pens the popular advice column, Sex Ed in Bed. As a sexologist, Jallen's book Ex-Gay No Way. was nominated for a Lambda Literary award in non-fiction

Spontaneous Evolution offers you the information, inspiration and invitation to participate in the greatest adventure in human history - conscious evolution!
Economic meltdown … environmental crisis … seemingly endless warfare. The world is in critical condition.

We've all heard stories of people who experienced seemingly miraculous recoveries from illness, but can the same thing happen for our world?
According to pioneering biologist Bruce H. Lipton, it's not only possible, it's already happening. We are surrounded by the proof that we are poised to take an incredible step forward in the growth of our species. In Spontaneous Evolution, this world-renowned expert in the emerging science of epigenetics teams up with political philosopher Steve Bhaerman to offer a new and hopeful story about humanity's evolutionary destiny.
Spontaneous Evolution reveals how changing our understanding of biology and human history will help us navigate these turbulent times, and invites readers to reconsider:

" The unquestioned pillars of biology including random evolution, survival of the fittest, and the role of DNA;
" the blueprint for our sustainable, life-affirming future that is literally inside you - encoded in each of the trillions of cells comprising your body
" how our beliefs about nature and human nature shape our politics, culture, and individual lives; and
" how each of us can become planetary "stem cells" supporting the health and growth of our world and every individual in it.
By releasing the old beliefs that keep the status quo in place, and by building our lives and world on this heartening new story, we can trigger the spontaneous evolution of our species.

Infused with intelligence and wit, Spontaneous Evolution is an insightful, playful, and ultimately hopeful look at the unfolding destiny of our species-and how you can play an active role in birthing the evolution of humanity.
Dr. Bruce Lipton is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. He has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national and international conferences.
Dr. Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist. He received his Ph.D. Degree from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville before joining the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin's School of Medicine in 1973. Dr. Lipton's research on muscular dystrophy, studies employing cloned human stem cells, focused upon the molecular mechanisms controlling cell behavior. An experimental tissue transplantation technique developed by Dr. Lipton and colleague Dr. Ed Schultz and published in the journal Science was subsequently employed as a novel form of human genetic engineering.

In 1982, Dr. Lipton began examining the principles of quantum physics and how they might be integrated into his understanding of the cell's information processing systems. He produced breakthrough studies on the cell membrane, which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip, the cell's equivalent of a brain. His research at Stanford University's School of Medicine, between 1987 and 1992, revealed that the environment, operating though the membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. His discoveries, which ran counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by the genes, presaged one of today's most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics. Two major scientific publications derived from these studies defined the molecular pathways connecting the mind and body. Many subsequent papers by other researchers have since validated his concepts and ideas.

Dr. Lipton's novel scientific approach transformed his personal life as well. His deepened understanding of cell biology highlighted the mechanisms by which the mind controls bodily functions, and implied the existence of an immortal spirit. He applied this science to his personal biology, and discovered that his physical well-being improved, and the quality and character of his daily life was greatly enhanced.

Dr. Lipton has taken his award-winning medical school lectures to the public and is currently a sought after keynote speaker and workshop presenter. He lectures to conventional and complementary medical professionals and lay audiences about leading-edge science and how it dovetails with mind-body medicine and spiritual principles. He has been heartened by anecdotal reports from hundreds of former audience members who have improved their spiritual, physical and mental well being by applying the principles he discusses in his lectures. He is regarded as one of the leading voices of the new biology. Dr Lipton's work summarizing his findings, entitled The Biology of Belief, (Hay House Publishing, 202 pages, $25, hardcover, ISBN 978-1-4019-2311-2). His new book, Spontaneous Evolution, Our Positive Future and a Way to Get There From Here, (Hay House Publishing, ISBN 978-1-4019-2580-2) is available now.


After living for several years in a Zen Buddhist monastery, Tony Samaraventured to the jungles of South America – to the Amazon and to the Andes – where he lived and studied among a community of Shamans.
After many years he was initiated in the sacred healing ways of these ancient peoples, and left South America to teach and share this deep wisdom with the world.
Tony Samara is now visited by people from all parts of the world and from all walks of life, seeking spiritual guidance or simply the experience of being in his presence.
He is a mirror of what is possible, a shining reminder of the endless potential of being human.http://www.tonysamara.org/
