The Relationship Between Unconscious Abandonment Issues and Our
Mental, Emotional, and Physical Health
with Michael Brill

Cosmic Numerology and Quantum Numbers are powerful tools that can be used to map out the various aspects of the human personality. Using Quantum Numbers, I intend to demonstrate how numeric strings can identify behavior patterns that lead to health issues. Furthermore, when these numeric strings are arranged in a horizontal hierarchy, one can easily see how portions of each string are reproduced in the many aspects of a personality. These overlapping patterns can explain how/why we behave the way we do with family, friends, co-workers, partners, and the world at large.

Michael is the creator of Cosmic Numerology and Quantum Numbers.He has a M.Ed. in Special Education and postgraduate work in supervision and administration of secondary school programs and has taught secondary school in both the United States and Canada. He also has over thirty years combined experience as an educator and trainer in public and private schools, college, business, and government. This includes ten years experience in the aerospace industry including two years at NASA.

The Secrets in Your Name
with Dolly Mae

Your name reads like a fingerprint. The letter sounds, their shapes and their placements hold vibrational information. Each name holds clues to your innermost self. Each letter and special combinations of letters reveal your personality and its secret gifts and challenges. You will learn how to access this knowledge to use for yourself and others. This information applies to personal, corporate and animal names which all reveal hidden secrets. Free demonstration readings will be given. You will begin to see patterns in names and will be able to use this information in your daily life to better understand others.

In 1986 a bank failed, her real estate empire collapsed, and she found herself in a $25 million bankruptcy. There was no way to go but up and she embarked on a quest to find meaning in what had happened. She explains how to triumph joyfully and playfully in her best selling books. She is an animated and humorous worldwide speaker with a profound depth of knowledge.

The Nature of the Mind and Body in Chinese Medicine.
The unfolding and development of Mental and Physical functions
with Dr. David Russell Ph.d. D.Sc.

All medical disciplines recognize that the Body and the Mind are in a constant state of development and maturing, a process of the unfolding of life potentials. These processes begin at the moment of conception and continue throughout the life of the individual. Chinese medicine provides key information and insights into these specific forces and can help us understand how our body functions, how the mind and body are inseparable, and how they work together in the depths of our daily lives. We will explore the meaning and nature of the five organ systems that control our mind/body functions, responses, and development. We will discuss the concept of Shen, an essential component of Chinese medicine which is little known here in the West, and which can be described as the “vital spirit” or functional element of each organ system that underlies mind/body integration and controls the unfolding human potential.

For the last thirty years, David Russell, Ph.D., D.Sc. has taught and practiced the Classical medical disciplines of Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Islamic and Tibent medicine, homeopathy, anthroposophy and spiritual psychology in Europe, Nepal, and the United States. His book, Healthy Solutions: A Guide to Simple Healing and Healthy Wisdom, won the 2007 Arizona Book Award for best health/nutrition/wellness book.. A resident of Tucson, AZ, he currently is lecturing in the US and Europe.

3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Connecting to the Breath of Life by playing the Bamboo Flute
with Ingrid and Avi Burg

Breathing is living, it is the most important function of life that is required. As a species we have forgotten how to breathe both naturally and consciously. By playing the bamboo flute we can reconnect to that most essential activity in a whole new way. It gives us the opportunity for introspection and brings us to a place where we can see all of the world breathing as one. Playing the flute can increase your lung capacity, be used as a stress management tool, and bring an overall sense of wellbeing and joy to both the player and listeners. The intention of our flutes are to be tools for balancing and tuning ourselves and each other to our natural states of peace, love, and gratitude.

Ingrid Burg has been making and playing bamboo flutes for over 35 years. She has a MS in Community Health Education, and has most recently brought the healing sounds of the flutes to UNM Hospital through the Arts in Medicine program. Her son Avi Burg grew up around the flutes and has been playing for most of his life, they began co-creating together in 1998. He is a student of music, movement and meditation. For him the flute has served as a connecting rod for aligning the heavens with the earth or his spirit with his body.

What the Bleep We Know About Water!?!
with James McMath

The presentation focuses on the structured quality of water in its natural “hexagonal crystalline” form. When water gets exposed to contaminants, however, it looses its structural integrity and starts to macro-cluster into forms that have no crystalline form and shape. This is what is frequently referred to as “dead water”. Even after purification, water continues to hold the memory frequencies of the contaminants. Macro-water is much thicker and denser and has difficulty saturating the cellular membranes in order to hydrate, nourish, and cleanse the cells through osmosis. This is why people are drinking more water, and yet getting more dehydrated. This phenomenon is now reaching epidemic proportions, with many illnesses developing due to the increased dehydration.

James McMath has a Master’s Degree in Public Administration (MPA) and a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. He attended graduate school at the University of Oregon, Eugene and undergraduate school at California State University at Sacramento. James was a City Administrator for the City of Portland for six years before moving into the private sector as a businessman. He has owned his own private businesses from 1983 to present. Currently the owner of the Emerald Earth Company, LLC - a retail/service business specializing in natural health and environmental quality products and services.
