Stefan Wils, a Shu'em Healer and Shaman will be on the show Saturday as part of the Spirituality, Healing and Faith series. Stefan has given many thousands of healings starting in 1986 where Shuem Shamanic Healing offered courses, meditation, and healing live online. It started as a small healing practice and soon became a training center for those who like to use Shuem Shamanism as a way to spirituality, healing and transformation.

In 1998, Stefan founded the School of Transformative Shamanism where people learn to use shamanism as an instrument to find more peaceful and and balanced state of life. Shuem Shamanism can change one's perspective on life radically and in a relatively short time many people experience a more relaxed state that makes it easier to deal with life circumstances.

Stefan is an animated speaker/teacher who is able to let his students and clients share in widening states of consciousness in order to experience harmony and well-being in daily life and this is available to everyone through the internet.

Edward R. Close, PhD, PE, is a recognized expert in environmental science, has served as environmental advisor to more than fifteen Fortune 500 companies, and has more than forty years experience in the environmental field. He is the author of numerous technical papers and five nonfiction books, including Nature's MoldRx - The Non-Toxic Solution to Toxic Mold (2007), as well as the DVD: Toxic Mold ? A Breakthrough Discovery.

Dr. Close holds degrees in math, physics and environmental science and engineering. He studied physics, math, philosophy, and creative writing at Central Methodist College, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in Math and Physics in 1963. He spent one year in the graduate physics program at the University of Missouri at Rolla and one year in the environmental engineering PhD program at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Additional studies were completed at UCLA, UC Davis, Case Western Reserve and elsewhere. He completed his thesis and received his PhD in environmental science and engineering in 1988.

Dr. Close has more than forty years? experience in environmental planning and management, engineering, hydrology, hydrogeology, and industrial-waste management with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), 1965-1978, and private consulting firms, 1978-1995. While working as a research hydrologist in the Water Resources Division of the USGS, he was chosen from hundreds of employees, nationwide, to become one of the seven scientists selected to form the first Department of Interior, Systems Analysis Mathematical Modeling Group, where he worked with internationally known environmental mathematicians, including Dr. Nickolas Matalas, Dr. John Bredehoft, and Dr. Benoit Mandelbrot.

In 1995, Dr. Close opened Close Environmental Consultants in Southeast Missouri. He continues to serve clients that range from Fortune 500 companies, mid-size and small local businesses to individual property owners as principal consultant with EJC Enterprises. He has worked in eleven U.S. States, on the island of Puerto Rico, and in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Dr. Close is a member of numerous professional societies, including the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA), the National Society of Professional Engineers, the American Water Resources Association, the National Water Well Association, the American Institute of Hydrology, the Cape Area Engineers, MENSA, and the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry (ISPE). He currently serves as Science Editor for ?Telecom,? an ISPE quarterly periodical, is a Registered Professional Engineer (PE) in the State of Missouri, a Registered Environmental Site Assessor, a Registered Well Installer, and a Registered Professional Hydrologist.

Dr. Close has on-going interests in language, linguistics, symbolic logic, and consciousness studies. One of his books, Transcendental Physics (1997), explores the interface of modern physics and consciousness and has been cited in numerous publications including Dr. David Stewart's book The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple.

Growing up on small farms in the Missouri Ozarks, Dr. Close acquired a deep respect and appreciation of nature. He is an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hiking, exploring, and horseback riding. Another of his published books, Big Creek ? History, Folklore and Trail Guide (2003), recounts his adventures exploring caves, farm sites, and Native American villages in south-central Missouri. While working with the USGS in Puerto Rico, he served as the expedition hydrologist with a group of ten scientists on the second-ever float trip down the Rio Tanama. The expedition went underground, floating through caves five times, while observing rare species of orchids, unusual geologic formations, and giant freshwater shrimp.

Dr. Stoyan Sarg - Sargoytchev is a Bulgarian born Canadian. He holds engineering diploma and PhD in Physics in the field of space research. From 1976 to 1990 he was involved in space projects sponsored by the program Intercosmos coordinated by the former Soviet Union. He participated also a collaborative project with the European Space Agency. For his pioneering work he was rewarded with medals from Intercosmos, Russia and Bulgaria. In 1990 he was invited as a visiting scientist by Cornel University and worked in Arecibo Observatory, P.R. on a Lidar project funded by the NSF (USA). This was the place where the first SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) program was operated before 1985 using the world largest radio telescope - radar. In 1991 he immigrated to Canada, where he worked on projects coordinated by the Canadian Space Agency. Since 2002 he is with the York University, Toronto, Canada. He has over 50 publications in peer review journals and a few patents related to space research.

During his 30-year work in space research Dr. Sarg was aware about some aerial phenomena that are unsolved mysteries for contemporary physics. After extensive study the history of physics and reviewing thousand of articles in different fields of physics he realized that there is a problem in the current understanding of space. Working extensively on this issue he arrived to a challenging new idea about the space-time, matter and gravitation. For a few years of intensive but morally awarded work he was able to develop and publish in 2001 his treatise "Basic Structures of Matter - Supergravitation Unified Theory" (BSM-SG). Dr. Sarg wrote three books in English and one in Bulgarian language. A book review of his theoretical monograph was published in Physics in Canada journal, v. 62, No. 4, p. 206-207, (2006). His work provided for a first time the missing physical relation between the EM field and gravity. This permitted him to analyze the enigmatic UFO phenomenon from a new physical point of view. One of the major predictions of the BSM-SG theory is the possibility to change the gravitational and inertial mass of a specifically design spacecraft. Being also experimentalist Dr. Sarg discovered an unique gravito-inertial effect by a laboratory experiments. This discovery, understandable only from the BSM-SG point of view, was reported at the Annual meetings of the Society for Scientific Explorations in 2007 and 2008 in Boulder, Colorado and also at the Annual meeting of the Natural Philosophy Alliance, 2010, Long Beach, California. His recent book is titled "Field Propulsion by Control of Gravity - Theory and Experiments" (Amazon.com). The described propulsion mechanism is completely different from the jet propulsion. It is invoked by EM activated plasma and does not need combustion or jet. The publications and experiments of Dr. Sarg are widely discussed in Internet. He believes that his discovery will contribute to the further advances in interplanetary and deep space travels.

Swami Kriyananda is one of the world's foremost experts on meditation, yoga, and spiritual practice. He has authored more than 140 books and composed over 400 pieces of music. Kriyananda is a member of the Club of Budapest, where he serves along with the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mikhail Gorbachev, Elie Wiesel, Jane Goodall, Peter Gabriel, and other leaders of the planetary evolution of consciousness.

A prolific and internationally regarded author, speaker, accomplished composer, playwright, artist, and world-renowned spiritual teacher, Swami Kriyananda refers to himself simply as "a humble disciple" of the great spiritual leader Paramhansa Yogananda.

Our audience will have a rare and unique opportunity to bask in the wisdom of a revered spiritual leader seldom accessible to the public. Swami Kriyananda is the last still-teaching direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda--world famous spiritual leader and author of Autobiography of a Yogi.

Swami Kriyananda will expound on the teachings of Yogananda.

"There are times when a human being, though perhaps not remarkable in himself, encounters some extraordinary person or event that infuses his life with great meaning, " recalls Kriyananda. "My own life was blessed with such an encounter in 1948. I met a great, God-known master whose constant vision was of eternity. His name was Paramhansa Yogananda. He was from India, though it would be truer to say that his home was the whole world."

For the last four years of Yogananda's life, the young disciple absorbed his guru's teachings and wisdom, and committed his life to furthering the Master's vision and message. Yogananda appointed him as head of the monastery, authorized him to teach in his name and to give initiation into Kriya Yoga, and entrusted him with the tasks of writing and developing what he called "world brotherhood colonies."

And for the last 60 years, Kriyananda has done just that.

Kriyananda's books and audios have sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 28 languages. He is the author of more than 140 books on a variety of topics, including leadership, education, creativity, and moral values. His bestselling titles include Awaken to Superconsciousness, God is for Everyone, Conversations with Yogananda, Meditation for Starters, The Art of Supportive Leadership, The New Path " My Life with Paramhansa Yogananda, Money Magnetism, The Essence of Self-Realization, Affirmations for Self-Healing, Education for Life, and his bestselling Secrets gift books. He has written extensive commentaries on the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita.

Craig Corrie, Co-Founder, Board Director and Treasurer for the, Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace & Justice.

Rachel Aliene Corrie was an American member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). She was crushed to death in the Gaza Strip by an Israel Defence Forces (IDF) bulldozer when she was kneeling in front of a local Palestinian's home, thus acting as a human shield, attempting to prevent IDF forces from demolishing the home. The IDF stated that the death was due to the restricted angle of view of the IDF Caterpillar D9 bulldozer driver, while ISM eyewitnesses said "there was nothing to obscure the driver's view."

The day after Rachel's death, in a phone conversation Ariel Sharon promised President Bush a thorough, transparent and credible investigation of her death which Rachel's parents - Craig and Cindy felt never happened.

Craig and Cindy founded the Rachel Corrie Foundation in their daughter's memory as well as an attempt to bring attention to the injustice of her death and the cause for which she died - the human rights of the people of Palestine.

Still seeking justice, in 2010, the Corrie's brought a lawsuit against Israel regarding their daughter's death which is now on hold because of an Israeli lawyers' strike. But they continue to seek justice. As Craig put it: "The lawsuit has already in part succeeded in bringing attention to the sacrifice of our daughter."

The Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace & Justice is a grassroots, 501(c)3 non-profit organization that conducts and supports programs that foster connections between people, that build understanding, respect, and appreciation for differences, and that promote cooperation within and between local and global communities. The foundation encourages and supports grassroots efforts in pursuit of human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice, which we view as pre-requisites for world peace. Continuing the work begun and envisioned by our daughter, Rachel Corrie, our initial emphasis has been on Israel/Palestine.

Chris Carter received his undergraduate and master's degrees from the University of Oxford. The author of Parapsychology and the Skeptics (Second Edition due Spring 2012!), Carter is originally from Canada and currently teaches internationally.

Using evidence from scientific studies, quantum mechanics, and consciousness research, Carter reveals how consciousness does not depend on the brain and may, in fact, survive the death of our bodies. Examining ancient and modern accounts of NDEs from around the world, including China, India, and tribal societies such as the Native American and the Maori, he explains how NDEs provide evidence of consciousness surviving the death of our bodies. He looks at the many psychological and physiological explanations for NDEs raised by skeptics--such as stress, birth memories, or oxygen starvation--and clearly shows why each of them fails to truly explain the NDE. Exploring the similarities between NDEs and visions experienced during actual death and the intersection of physics and consciousness, Carter uncovers the truth about mind, matter, and life after death.

Jonas grew up in the south listening to people tell the most fascinating stories. Storytelling became his passion leading him to become a filmmaker.

After moving to New York, he got his start at the award winning production company Rockhard Films.  During his time there, Jonas worked on all aspects of production ranging from Director, Producer and Editor.  Focusing primarily on music videos and commercials, he worked with top artist and clients including Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Spike Lee, Nike and ESPN.

In the winter of 2003, Jonas began producing his first feature documentary BEARS.  On this project he traveled across the country for two years, shooting over 200 hours of footage.

So after eight years behind the camera he certainly didn’t expect his next project to be his own story.  His second documentary, WAKE UP, follows him on a personal journey looking for truth and meaning after experiencing a very radical and surprising spiritual awakening.

Jonas is currently signed with Grand Large Inc. as a commercial director and hard at work on his follow-up feature, a southern gothic spiritual thriller, JUNE’S LAST WISH.

Jonas Elrod was leading an ordinary life until he woke up one day to a totally new reality. He suddenly could see and hear angels, demons, auras and ghosts.

The documentary movie WAKE UP follows this fascinating story of an average guy who inexplicably developed the ability to access other dimensions. Physicians gave him a clean bill of health and were unable to provide an explanation. What was it? Why was it happening to him? One thing was certain for this 36-year old man – life as he had known it would never be the same.

With his loving but skeptical girlfriend by his side, Jonas crisscrosses the country as he searches for answers and delves deeper into this thrilling world of the phenomenal and spiritual. Along the way, he encounters an amazing group of religious teachers, scientists, mystics and spiritual healers who help him piece together this intricate puzzle.

The film shows how all of us can search inward for our own peace and happiness while contributing towards a positive shift in global consciousness. WAKE UP is a call to consciousness to everyone who sees it; an invitation to accept that there is more to this life than meets the eye.

WAKE UP had its festival premiere at South by Southwest Film Festival in March 2009 and its New York City premiere, hosted by Sting and Trudie Styler, in April 2010. It is being released on DVD in September 2010 by Beyond Words, distributor of the acclaimed films “The Secret” and “What the Bleep Do We Know.” The movie is being privately screened throughout the fall of 2010

Colleen was born into a large family in 1960. The family was plagued with mental illness and depraved individuals that preyed upon the young and the weak. Colleen is no stranger to evil and has been confronted with the dark ones, even to the point of attempts on her life. At the age of 14 the wild and virtually uncontrollable 8th grader was sent away to live with a sister in Russellville Arkansas, within a year the unsupervised wild girl was sexual active and then pregnant.

Never having attended High School and always being treated like she were defective in her mind because she was not intelligent "like men are," Colleen let education go and became a full-time mother of 5 children. Were it not for her personal ethics that pained inside her every time she claimed to have graduated high school in order to look good on a job application Colleen would likely still have an 8th grade education to this day. At the age of 32 Colleen took her GED and did so well she was talked into taking classes at the community college she had gone to for the test.

When the youngest of 5 children started attending school all day Colleen began a full-time Biological Sciences program at the University of NV Reno where Colleen earned her nursing degree. Over the course of her lifetime Colleen has shown unusual resilience and tolerance for others, even those channeling the dark toward her in frequently tormenting, even life threatening ways. A chaotic military life made for a very adjustable, pliable personality in Colleen that is tough as nails when times get hard but completely flexible with life and people otherwise.

It was always in Colleen's nature to stick up for the underdog even when it was her but especially when it was someone else. Colleen has always been very adventurous and daring, too much so at times getting into situations that could have cost her her life but close calls never detoured her from pressing herself even harder the next time. As a girl and young woman Colleen was very much like a strong and powerful man, at 105 pounds and 5ft 4in tall Colleen was like a toy poodle that chases after Great Dane's unaware of the size issue.

Colleen's tough reputation was tried time and again growing up moving from one school district to another more often than she can count, all of them always on the poor side of town where Colleen was not always in the majority race. Under such trying and often times dangerous gang conditions Colleen learned how to put fear into those who challenged her and how to be very diplomatic under fire, resorting to blows only as a last resort when attacked.

A lifetime of seemingly unrelenting hardships and hostility from the dark never killed Colleen's happy go lucky spirit, that is until her 28 year old daughter died unexpectedly 2 years ago. For the first time in her life Colleen had lost all will to live but lacked the will to die either, she was simply ambivalent and adrift. Three hostile marriages, persistent problems with money and 20 years in a Christian cult came crashing in all at once as the anguish of losing a child overtook her.

In the depths of despair a shift took place that caused Colleen to call everything she ever knew or believed into doubt, earlier this year that positionless place Colleen found herself in was finally jerked into a new reality through a kundalini awakening that cleared all her chakras at once on January 31st of this year. On Valentine's day of this year a Pleadian man, an 8 ft tall giant who is a gifted and talented astyrophysicist known throughout the galaxy melded minds with Colleen causing her to awaken knowing things about physics she had never learned before and had sudden clarity on all the quantum physical matters that had puzzled and eluded her understanding before.

For the last several weeks Colleen has become consciously aware of her telepathic connection to mother Earth, other planets and stars and the alien peace keeping forces that have the dark pinned down here on Earth. Colleen was given the all clear, that humanity was safe because the dark were on the run as they realize that the aliens that had simply observed their activity in the past had suddenly began engaging Vril ships and human nuclear weapons of war.

As a Pleiadian contactee Colleen will no doubt have a role to play in building the world of tomorrow where the humans are free from the dark spirited carnivorous sentient reptilians who have been feeding on human suffering for 10,000 years. Earth will be restored to her original purpose which is to serve as an oasis for star travelers to visit and enjoy in peace, a vacation destination of intergalactic fame.

Colleen has become a virtual overnight hit with the pop New Age culture and spiritual people who have always been open to the possibility of sentient life from other star systems. After launching her first speech on July 27th to the very public YouTube site to report on her new knowledge of physics and alien affairs Colleen has attained International attention and support. Over 60,000 people had tuned in to hear what Colleen had to say in just 8 weeks time, clearly her messages are as timely as they are beneficial to others.

Colleen has joined this service so she can earn a living as a world teacher of Pleiadian physics, spirituality and new forms of community based governance without the need for a central government that only served to enslave Americans and other nations to paying taxes with over half their invested energies from working to earn a living. A living need not be earned and the abundance of nature need not be sold, bartering will be the new currency of energy exchange in the future economy that replaces the one that collapsing now.

As a pioneering force within the world-wide movement focused on transforming humanity’s relationship to the nature of time, Eden has participated in many international summits and conferences focused on calendar change, including "The World Summit on Peace and Time" in Costa Rica in which Eden was invited by Dr. Arguelles to serve on the Education Committee. As a “Natural Time Visionary,” Eden has offered many interviews and seminars, and has been highly active in organizing community and educational gatherings that share the wisdom of Arguelles’ solar-lunar-galactic calendar teachings.

In a recent journey to Guatemala, Eden received teachings directly from Maya elders and participated in several Mayan Fire Ceremonies, including one with Grandfather Cirilo Perez Oxlaj, 13th Generation Quiche Maya Priest; Head of The National Mayan Council of Indigenous Elders in Guatemala.
