THURSDAY MORNING PRESENTATIONS
C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. is a neurosurgeon trained at Massachusetts General Hospital. Some
of his accomplishments include: Founding the first comprehensive Pain Rehabilitation Clinic in 1971;
Founding President of the American Holistic Medical Association in 1978; Founding President of Holos
University Graduate Seminary; He has 12 patents in the field of Energy Medicine; Has published 29
books and over 300 articles; Dorsal Column Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation; Biogenics Self-Regulation, the RejuvaMatrix ® for rejuvenating telomeres; Most recently he has
developed five blends of essential oils to activate 5 specific circuits, Dr. sHEALy’s Air Bliss, which
helps raise oxytocin when applied to the Ring of Air is particularly important for overcoming depression
and anxiety to bring true Bliss into your life.
Presentation: From Birth to Bliss - The Power of Conscientious Living
The most important acupuncture advance in 4000 years, transcutaneous acupuncture, across the skin
with no needles, can reinvigorate your life, health, and happiness. Based upon research of the past two
decades, it is now possible for you to activate five specific acupuncture circuits which can assist you
to restore DHEA, the most important health enhancing hormone; boost calcitonin, the essential thyroid
hormone for maintaining bone and also for reducing pain; reduce free radicals; balance aldosterone and
live longer and healthier lives. Dr. Shealy will describe his research on this approach and how, by using specific blends of natural essential oils, people can do their own transcutaneous acupuncture—no
needles and only 30 seconds of time!
Federico Faggin was born in Vicenza, Italy, and graduated in physics, summa cum laude, from the Uiversity of Padua in 1965. Faggin came to the US in 1968 working for Fairchild Semiconductor where he
led the development of the MOS Silicon Gate Technology, a key process technology that was adopted
worldwide and laid the foundation for all contemporary integrated circuits. Working for Intel Corporation from 1970 to 1974, Faggin designed many products, including the world’s first microprocessor, the
Intel 4004; and the 8080 and 4040 microprocessors. Faggin is now President of the Federico and Elvia
Faggin Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the scientific study of consciousness. Faggin
is the recipient of many international awards, including the 2009 National Medal of Technology and
Innovation, from President Barack Obama.
Presentation: Exploring the Union of Science and Spirituality.
Science is the collective study of the physical, objective world without -- the outer aspect of reality.
Spirituality is the individual exploration of true nature within – the inner aspect of reality. Men of science have often rejected the reality of consciousness, and spiritual men have often rejected the reality
of the body. Yet we all experience that reality includes both body and consciousness. Physical reality,
as revealed by quantum physics, is an undivided wholeness that is not in contradiction to the possible
reality of consciousness, although the scientific community generally believes that consciousness is an
epiphenomenon of the laws of matter. As a physicist and entrepreneur on a journey of exploration about
the nature of reality and consciousness, I will present my investigations so far that indicate the potential
of uniting science and spirituality in a deeply personal synthesis of the rational, intellectual and outer
aspects of reality with the intuitive, emotional, and inner aspects of existence.
Thursday Afternoon Forum Sessions - See Forum Section pages 8 - 11
THURSDAY EVENING PRESENTATION
Green Spirit Band and Friends
Begin the evening enjoying a
style reminiscent of Peter, Paul
& Mary as the Green Spirit Band
offers a selection of original and
cover tunes that celebrate life
and this beautiful planet we live
on. Stan Slaughter’s rich baritone blends with Linda & Judy’s
vibrant feminine voices for the
occasional chill-factor and lots
of just plain fun.
Gong Meditation
End the evening in the
relaxing vibrational energy
of the gongs played by Heidi
Svoboda. The unseen power
of sound moves within,
throughout, and between
spaces unblocking and
releasing tension. Allow the
sound to relax your mind
and body as spirit begins to
flow.

FRIDAY MORNING PRESENTATIONS
Cay Randall-May, Ph.D. is a biologist with a lifelong interest and training in extended sensory perception.
For more than 30 years she has built an internationally recognized reputation as an intuitive consultant with
a specialty in medical intuition. Over this period she has worked with a team of other scientists to sharpen,
refine, and deepen her use of the intuitive process into an approach that complements the presently accepted
investigative nature of the scientific method. She offers the Intuitive Pathway Program at the Healing Arts
Connection in Phoenix Arizona and is on the faculty of Holos University Graduate Seminary..
Presentation: The Relationship of Energy and Matter: Can intuitive perception serve
as the basis for the scientific understanding of the natural world? Cay Randall-May, Ph.D. and her scientific
colleagues contend it can. They base their assertion upon more than 30 years of investigation using a process
of altered state awareness coupled with critical scientific follow-up. The resultant view of matter and energy
reveal a natural organization of progressive complexity that involves time quantization and convergence of
energy into matter. Through an extended energy spectrum above the currently recognized electromagnetic
spectral limits, subtle energy is seen as a weaker form of magnetism and relatable to the other forces of
nature, including electricity and light. Dr. Randall-May will elucidate this broad range of natural forces that
integrate with our current understanding of the nature of subtle energy and also significantly extend that understanding. Her presentation will
address electromagnetic forces and their relationship to subtle energy. Cay’s newly published book on the topic, Inner Visions of Matter and Subtle
Energy, will be available at the Unity Bookstore during the conference.
William Tiller, PhD, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Material Science and Engineering at Stanford
University is the author of four ground-breaking books on psychoenergetic science: Science and Human
Transformation: Subtle Energies, Intentionality and Consciousness (1997); Conscious Acts of Creation:
The Emergence of a New Physics (2001); Some Science Adventures with Real Magic (2005) and
Psychoenergetic Science: A Second Copernican-Scale Revolution (2007); as well as more than 150 published papers concerning un-actualized human capabilities, opportunities, and adventures for all of us in the
years ahead. For the first time, a rigorous experimental protocol is available that
allows human qualities to meaningfully alter properties of physical materials via specific human
intentions. A pioneer of psychoenergetics since the 1960’s, Dr. Tiller has worked in private industry as well
as a Professor of Materials Science at Stanford University. Continuing his psychoenergetics
research, he currently directs the William A. Tiller Institute for Psychoenergetic Science in Arizona.
Presentation: Discovering the Power of Human Intention
A specific intention is, first and foremost, an act of creation by a human. It is the product of a focused mind
and may also include flavors of a directed will, a nourishing heart, a loving emotion, and an encouraging
spirit. The quality of an intention relates to the many aspects of a human’s consciousness while the power of an intention is strongly dependent on the
emotional desire of the intender. Since 1997, carefully designed intention experiments have been studied using IHDs (Intention Host Devices) and
found to be very successful. Recently our group has learned how to use specially-designed IHDs to broadcast specific healing intentions to
humans at locations all around the earth in order to significantly alleviate various types of ailments. Our most recent on-going work is “The
Autism Intention Experiment” This exciting approach used with autistic children also appears to be robustly successful!
Friday Afternoon Forum Sessions - See Forum Section, pages 12 - 15
FRIDAY EVENING PRESENTATION - An Evening with Dr. Gladys!
Gladys Taylor McGarey, M.D., M.D.(H), has been a family physician for more than sixty years. She is
board certified in Holistic and Integrated Medicine. She is internationally known for her pioneering work
in holistic medicine, natural birthing, and the physician-patient partnership. She was the co-founder of
the American Holistic Medical Foundation. She is known as the Mother of Holistic Medicine. Her work
through her foundation, The Gladys Taylor McGarey Medical Foundation has helped expand the knowledge and application of holistic principles through scientific research and education. She is author of three
books, The Physician Within You, Born To Live, and Living Medicine.
Presentation: Seen and Unseen Realities - Conscious in the Womb
In reality, the womb and its contents are conscious. The mother is conscious and there are vital and active
channels of communication between the mother and her baby. Although this is an “unseen” reality, it is
definitely a “reality.” Women have always known this but we have forgotten and have given over the
care of this natural process to some one else. We need to reclaim and trust the sacred, inner aspects of this
process. This is an opportunity to learn what we can do to manifest the understanding that ‘Womb Health
equals World Health.” Edgar Cayce spoke to this sacred reality,
“Let the body know, let the body comprehend that it is being chosen as a channel for the expression of
divinity into materiality!” 420-28 Edgar Cayce

Presentation: Whole Person Caring. A new vision of health care is emerging. It is a
vision that brings health, healing, compassion, and wellness into the conversation. It is a vision that invites professionals to work together to
create a healthy and sustainable society. It puts people, their needs, their dreams, and their lives at the core of its efforts. It holds promise and
sets us on a course toward a vital and healthy nation. This presentation provides an overview of the Model of Whole-Person Caring (WPC model)
and the vision it holds for our future.
Erin McCabe is a Unity minister, a gifted musician, and a mentor to many as she lives her authenticity
with boldness and passion. It is very clear the minute you meet Erin that she is committed to sharing
her gifts with the world and devoted to inspiring others to do the same. Erin’s refreshing and unique
approach brings inspiration to those she meets. Ordained at Unity Village in 2005, she initially hit the
road with her soul-filled music and message and traveled to over 50 Unity centers from coast to coast,

Village in September of 2011 and now serves as the Senior Minister of Unity Village Chapel. She is
the founder and director of Campaign for Consciousness and a gifted singer songwriter and
environmental enthusiast.
Presentation: Manifesting Spirit
Erin puts the Capstone on our experience with questions and inspiration rather than answers - Can
we participate consciously in a field of intelligence and activity invisible to the eye, but known to the
senses? Can we honor ALL spiritual paths, knowledge, wisdom, and the mystery of Life? Rev. Erin
McCabe approaches this task with outrageously soul-filled music, weaving a union of the secular and
the sacred. Let Erin’s enthusiasm inspire you to LIVE LARGE and create from the unlimited resource
that is you! Be inspired to remember that your true birthright is claimed when you meet the moment with authenticity and embrace the unique
and inherent gifts that are your Divine inheritance. Erin writes: “I think we come alive when we find what we love. An unexplainable comfort
emerges as awakened vitality for inquiry and exploration, a true discovery of more than meets the eye.” So this is what I know…to actively
awaken to feeling and use this vital life force in love, authenticity and creation.”
SATURDAY AFTERNOON PRESENTATION - Presenters’ Panel
Presenters will gather for a panel. Each will make a few closing comments, and then the floor will be opened for
comments and questions from the conference attendees. The final activity of the day will be a group CLOSING CIRCLE.
One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do
to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up
and show your soul.
Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit
and willing to show it.

FORUMS: SESSION #1 (continued)
THURSDAY - 2:00 - 3:30 p.m.
Room #H1: * David P. Stang, JD, MTS
Five Very Big Questions
BIO: David is an attorney specializing in off-shore energy and mineral resources law. Founder of the Society for the
Study of Verities of Religious Experience and author of three books, he is also a spiritual director. In addition he is
teaching courses at American University. In this Forum session the five questions to be discussed are these: 1). How
do I know what I think I know is actually truth? 2). Where did I come from? 3). Who am I? 4). What is my life’s
purpose, and how do I over come impediments to achieving it? 5). What happens to me when I die?
Room #H2: * Suchinta Abhayaratna, ThM, ThD
Family Constellations Circle: Experiencing the Knowing Field
BIO: Suchinta Abhayaratna has studied and taught healing with subtle energy since 1995. She received Masters and
Doctorate degrees in Theology from Holos University, focused on Transformational Psychology, and an Advanced
Certificate in Transpersonal Psychology. She developed Creative Holistic Integration (CHI) - a self-care program
integrating several energy healing modalities. She is a Certified Facilitator of Mandala Healing Art and Family
Constellations. Suchinta has lived and worked around the world- most recently in Kenya, where she facilitated holistic self-care workshops with youth, and survivors of Cancer and gender based violence. This Forum is an experience of the Family Constellations process facilitated by the presenter. A “Seeker” will be randomly picked to process
a real issue currently being faced. Through observation and insight, the Seeker receives information, and healing
responses revealed by the Knowing Field through the group and the Facilitator.
Room #H3: * Shaffia Laue, MD and Ralph Bauer, ThM
Soul Work
BIO: C. Shaffia Laue MD trained in psychiatry at the Menninger Clinic and has studied multiple
forms of integrative medicine over the past 3 decades. A founding diplomat of the American Board
of Holistic Medicine, she is active in the Sufi Healing Order. Ralph S. Bauer received his ThM
from Holos in 2011, is a FLOW practitioner and offers training in Personal Self Integration. Together they serve as co-directors for ISSSEEM membership and outreach, and co-teach a Holistic
Healthcare class at Holos. Many people wonder: “what does my Soul wish for me?”
In this workshop, we will offer practical skills to answer that question! Using guided imagery,
inner dialogue and dramatization within a structure of understanding drawn from Theosophy and
personal experience, an approach to Soul Knowledge will be charted. Resources for further
investigation and practice will be discussed and provided. Highly experiential.
Room #H4: * Daniel Condron, DD, DM, MS
Permanent Healing, Intuitive Research and Thought as Cause
BIO: Dr. Condron, a teacher of mind, self and metaphysics for 35 years, has taught, lectured and presented widely.
He teaches how to create peace through a Still Mind and uses the venue of organic-biodynamic orchards and gardens
to teach his students secrets of life. Dr. Condron was a major presenter at the Parliament of the World’s Religions.
He is the author of over twenty books including, Still Mind, Present Moment, Open Heart, The Emptiness Sutra,
Universal Healing Truths and Permanent Healing. Dr. Condron resides on the 1500-acre College of Metaphysics
campus as professor and director and serves on the school’s Board of Governors. There is a self-responsible concept
that “thought is cause” – that our thoughts create our reality. Permanent healing is brought about when a long-held,
limiting thought or attitude is identified and then changed or transformed into a more expansive, productive thought
attitude. The focus of this Forum is the application of this concept in order to experience lasting, transformational
healing.
Main Auditorium: * Heidi Svoboda
The Way of the Gong
BIO: Heidi is a Licensed massage therapist and certified Gong Master. She believes that intentional conscious
application of sound and touch allows transformation on all levels. In this Forum you will be able to allow yourself
to surrender to the gentle yet powerful force of sacred sound and vibrations resonating from a well-played planetary
gong. The unseen power of sound will move throughout, within, and between spaces unblocking and releasing tension. As you allow the sound to relax the mind and body, spirit is free to flow. Gongs have the ability to create all
the tones that a human is able to hear. Because of this, the body responds in a healing way to sounds and vibrations
produced by the gong. When the body is in tune it is protected from disease. Sounds and tones produced by the Gong
in this Forum session will bring your body into a healthy, natural balance.

for body-neurology-heart-brain-mind-spirit integration – incremental doses of the Golden Elixir of Immortality, a radical experience of the true-essential self. Dr Jahnke will discuss the history and practice briefly and then lead Forum
participants through the Practice of the 9 Realms of Cultivation and Mastery.
Room SS#229: * David Pasikov
Life Alignment: A System of Energy Healing and Transformation
BIO: David Pasikov is a past president of the Colorado Association of Psychotherapists and has a private practice

such as Intuit. He also is a certified Executive Coach and a Mediator. David is the U.S. coordinator for Life Alignment, a system of energy healing that he uses as a form of body-centered psychotherapy. Through demonstration and
group participation, this Forum will provide an overview of the Life Alignment system of energy healing. During
this presentation, we will explore how experience, energy and environmental factors affect the human system. Our
body is like a computer. It stores memories of trauma, disease, pollutants, and lifestyle stress. Life Alignment is a
means of accessing that computer to identify where the imbalance or blockage is, to find the underlying cause and to
energetically release it.
Room SS#244: * Robert Dallas, PhD
Whole Brain: Complete Alignment between our Inner and Outer Lives.
BIO: Dr. Dallas originated and directed The Mind Spa, a large personal growth center anchored by advanced technological equipment such as sound and motion beds, light and sound equipment and sensory deprivation rooms,
where the basis of the work was centered around stress management, personal growth and environments to support
connection with inner life experiences. Since 2000, he has been in private practice with a focus on personal development, advanced communication strategies and esoteric exploration. This Forum is designed to promote increased
focus and power in our work as healers and researchers by accessing more of our brain’s processing power. I will
use lecture, discussion, visualization and physical activities that facilitate the activation of more of our neurological
circuits. When our brain acts as a unit we are more confident, creative, intuitive and present. Participants will leave
with specific tools for being Whole Brain people.

True wellness is determined by the decisions you make about how to live your life with vitality and meaning. It
should be understood that wellness is not a chance but a way of life. Every moment of life you are moving either
towards Wellness or Illness. The choice is yours. Swasthya Yoga is a simple but effective tool to achieve wellness. It works in all areas of human dimensions (physical, mental, emotional & spiritual) leading to an energetic
and happy life.
Room UI#2: * Lizanne Flynn
Accessing Animal Consciousness - Individual and Collective
BIO: Lizanne Flynn is an intuitive empath, shaman, advisor and teacher who works equally well with both humans and animals. She is trained and certified as a Reiki Master and Teacher and a Canine Massage Therapist.
She has built a reputation as an Animal Communicator specializing in connecting hearts and bridging dimensions for humans and animals whether living or in spirit. This Forum facilitates the dynamic integration of how
animals’ thoughts, emotions and consciousness are communicated via their physical energy body and can be
connected with via pure intention. On an individual basis their intuition about a guardian’s life path and shared
life lessons can be quite surprising and on a collective consciousness basis their species connection – especially
for wild animals – offers supreme wisdom for their fellow sentient beings and human beings. Come explore the
animals eye view of our shared world of energy.
Room SS#223: * Susan Eirich, PhD
What Wild Animals Can Teach Us About Subtle Energies
BIO: Earthfire Institute founder and Executive Director Susan B. Eirich, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist, a

goal of seeing through others’ eyes to enhance understanding between people and species. She founded Earthfire Institute Wildlife Sanctuary in 2000 with a focus on spiritual ecology. Living with rescued wild animals, I
have witnessed events that raise paradigm shifting questions. A paralyzed grizzly bear who walks again, apparently through distance healing. A cougar who calls people telepathically to come to him for teaching. A wolf
who recovers from a fatal disease through hands-on energy healing. These stories, documented by photos, film,
interviews and medical records, lead us to broaden our understanding of the nature of consciousness and subtle
energies, and of our animal relatives.
Room SS#229: * Kathryn Niflis-Johnson, RN
Spiritualizing Matter with BodySound Technology
BIO: Kathryn Niflis-Johnson BSN, RN is an intuitive, energy healer, ordained minister and owner of Soul Source

INTL - Senior Healing Minister/CEO. History records that Medicine Men and Women, Kahunas, Qigong Masters,
Shaman, Witches, Witch Doctors, Misters, and Jesus the Christ demonstrated miraculous healings. Pythagoras was
in high demand at Greek banquets to do “parlor tricks” of healing the sick, lame, afflicted, and raising the dead.
The early Christian church’s explosive growth of the first three centuries was attributed to Pagans seeing healings
facilitated by the elders of the Christian churches and converting to Christianity. We will discuss what it is about this
ancient practice of Hands-on Healing and prayer that is still valid in the modern twenty-first century.

research in general and the work he and his group have been doing with autistic young people.
He will answer questions and discuss his perspective about humans as spiritual beings, his view of the meaning of
the human journey, and whatever else discussants have an interest in that relates to the above topics.
Room #H3: * Sandra Sweetman
An Introduction to the Healing Frequencies of Sound
BIO: A retired member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (U.K.), Sandra trained in several energy healing modalities resulting in a shift from physical to vibrational energy therapy. Her intuitive ability led Sandra to
create and develop SWEET: Self Wellness Energy Evaluation Technique. SWEET is an energy clearing protocol
that helps identify personal energetic disturbances and resolve them. Sandra went further to create Heart Metta,
a heart-based modality that connects a person to his or her higher self and intuition. By opening pathways to
greater insight and deactivating negative emotions, Heart Metta brings greater inner peace. In this forum Sandra
demonstrates how sound healing can be of assistance in a multitude of ways. Instead of using tuning forks or
singing bowls Sandra channels sounds and songs to restore harmony at all levels: physical, mental, emotional and
spiritual. By introducing different frequencies, sound therapy may: restore the vibrational patterns of the body,
increase concentration, promote relaxation, increase awareness, clear energy blocks in the body, and discern and
rectify the subtle energetic cause of a physical problem.
Room #H4: * Anne Salisbury with Greg Meyerhoff
Channeling Event Conversation with “All That Is”

Main Auditorium: * Stevern Halpern
Healing Music and Spiritual Sound Technology for body, mind and spirit
BIO: Steven Halpern is the Grammy nominated recording artist, maverick composer, pioneering sound healer and
researcher whose music supports healing and well-being of body, mind and spirit. Christened ”Dr. Sound” by Norm
Shealy in 1977, he has continued to explore the leading edge of sound healing. His landmark research in 1973 (with
mentors Itzhak Bentov and Marcel Vogel) demonstrated the ability of intentionally composed music to far surpass the
relaxational effects of classical music. He has appeared on major media (NY Times, Los Angeles Times), 48 HOURS
(CBS-TV) and countless articles and interviews. He is the author of the bestselling Sound Health (Harper&Row,
1985) and continues to invoke his muse. We’ll sensitize to sound and music with lecture, deep listening, and meditation on the ‘unstruck sound’. We’ll explore the effects of resonance, brainwave and heartbeat entrainment, pattern
recognition and intention play in how you respond to music. Steven will share about his research with Bentov, Vogel, Puharich and currently with Dr. J. J. Hurtak. Participants will learn how to apply and enjoy sound and music in
multiple modalities.

will have a chance to integrate their experiences and to ask questions.
Room SS#229: * Susan Russell, PhD, ThD, L.Ac, LMSW
Five-fold DNA: Understanding the Forces of Creation through Western Science & Eastern Wisdom
BIO: Dr. Russell is a licensed psychiatric social worker/psychotherapist, a licensed acupuncturist, an author, local
and national lecturer and guest speaker, developer of Living Foods Tonics, and director of Turning Point Healing
Center, a multi-modality healing center in Marietta, Georgia. Dr. Russell received her MSW from the University of
Georgia and holds doctorates in Integrative Energy Medicine and the Theology of Holism from Holos University
Graduate Seminary where she also serves as Academic Board Chair. Western science has now defined a five-fold
DNA sequence that is pivotal to the formation of life. If DNA does not evolve in proper sequence it cannot have the
five-fold pattern that supports life, therefore no life can take form. Amazingly, thousands of years ago, this information was already evident and forms the very matrix of healing in Original Chinese Medicine. The western discovery
of the 8x8 codons of the genetic code are strikingly similar to the Chinese mapping of the I-Ching. In this Forum we
will discuss the implications of these parallels.
Room SS#244: * John Hoefer

FORUMS: SESSION #2 (continued)
FRIDAY - 4:00 - 5:30 p.m.
Room #H1: * Janet Sussman with Douglas A. Mackey, PhD
Space: The Cosmic Database
BIO: For over 30 years Janet Sussman has been developing unique systems of intuitional counseling, transformational music and spiritual narrative sourced from higher mental and superconscious processes. Janet is able to
cognize the inner mechanics of awareness, viewing the human energy system through “layers” which unfold the
full stature of the soul. She is the author of two books, The Reality of Time and Timeshift. As a musician, she has
released three CDs to date. Space is a concept that has shifted over the years with new physical discoveries, but
from the point of view of futuristic physics, which incorporates consciousness as a basic principle, it is seen as the
environment through which Intelligence travels. From this perspective space is not empty. It is a cosmic database,
the organizer of light information, that holds the manifold possibilities of creation mechanics and the principle of
identity itself. Space is an invisible reality that is also the cradle of everything visible, real, and sentient.
Room #H2: * Cay Randall-May
How to Sense and Balance the Subtle Energy Field
BIO: Cay Randall-May holds masters’ and doctoral degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, where she
studied comparative anatomy/physiology of both vertebrates and invertebrates. Her intuitive studies began in early

25 years. This interactive workshop will introduce several ways to sense the aura. Cay Randall-May, Ph.D., internationally known medical intuitive and facilitator of spiritual healing, will discuss the energetic and physical nature of
the aura and explore how to bring it into balance. No previous experience with auric vision is needed. Learn how to
facilitate distant as well as in-person auric adjustments.

Reiki Master Teacher; and Kiaikaku Kushi Institute Macrobiotics Student. He is a Holos University Masters degree
candidate with plans to enter the Holos ThD program.
In this Forum, the autistic “missing link,” based on a baseline problem which affects the ability to frame and ground
concepts will be further developed and discussed by identifying conditions that may have prevented autistic children from enlisting survival instincts that are required in the developmental process. The focus is on establishing
symbolic overlays through higher vibrational entrainment. We will explore three variables: Qi Gong posture, Norm
Shealy’s Sacred Rings, and Equine Therapy. Resulting hormonal and mineral ratio changes will also be considered.
Room #H4: * Jim Turner, JD
Energy Politics - In the Subtle, Beyond the Scene
BIO: Jim Turner is a Washington, D.C. attorney and advocate of informed choice for health-related consumer products and services. Jim represents individuals, businesses, and consumer groups on regulatory matters, in court and

the Transpartisan Imperative in American Life. Engaging the innate intelligence of the body politic or what’s
unseen behind the repeatedly recounted bipartisan scene. This actionable idea comes from subtle energy healing
where the human body’s innate intelligence and resources are engaged to inspire healing. Learn how when applied
to our country, the U.S. Government’s system of representation by district is uniquely open to citizen-constituents
contributing a higher frequency energetic impulse of ‘integration beyond compromise’ known as Transpartisanship.
