Jesus said ‘I will be with you unto the End of the Age’. We are living in the End of an Age. What does this mean? Examining the spiritual shift from the heart chakra to the throat chakra. To learn more about John, please visit www.angelynx.com.
Psychotherapist and Life Coach Karen Heart will explain how you can resolve conflicts, strengthen your relationships, and get the support you need through better communication techniques. She will lead a discussion about the problems we all face and how we can cope with them and reduce our stress. Her tools help people strengthen their relationships, boost their self-esteem, and find some inner peace. For more information, please visit www.karenlifecoach.com.
Louise Cloutier, sound healer and holistic voice teacher shows you how to use the sacred power of your own voice, to speak your truth, release old toxins and set your soul free! To set your voice free, please visit www.voiceborne.com.
Dan Arrecis, lead singer, guitar player, and songwriter has put together a powerful and moving debut in Alive Day. The songs bring you back and take you somewhere new and unexplored. Their debut album “Blindsided By Hope” is now completed. This modern rock band speaks to audiences with their songs of shared experiences while engaging and challenging our changing times. Every listen to “Sparkle and Shimmer” or “Drifting” tells a different story with every play and with melodies that keep you singing and moving. Listen to Dan at www.myspace.com/aliveday.
Zach Livingston puts together his sound by molding the sensibilities of a folk singer-songwriter with the passion of a soul singer and the smiling melancholy of a bluesman. Having done a lot of traveling and seen a lot of things, Zach has a lot of stories and sentiments set to music – but the real aim is to find something timeless in those stories and write songs people really connect with. Music by a vagabond, written for everyone – best taken with a tall frosty beverage, a grain of salt, and a love of life. Listen to Zach at www.myspace.com/zachlivingstonmusic.
