Konstantin Kajsarov
Sunday, 4:00:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Location: Continental Room
Holy Whisper
In the book Holy Whisper, Konstantin states that we need to understand the big truth that wherever we are and whatever we have done in our lives, we shouldn’t be sad, and shouldn’t blame and judge ourselves; God loves us, God is always present and will never betray us. Let yourself feel His Love and Grace; love unites the living, love awakens the dead, love gives birth to life.
He further explains that anything that is opposite of Love, Honesty, Truth and Grace, anything that endangers the right of choice and free will, that opposes life and all that gives light to life, is sin. No matter how much pain you may be in, be Love, then the karma of your future generations may be cleansed so that they may live freely and truthfully. The more terrifying the pain may seem, and even though it may feel insurmountable, the sooner the need to forgive yourself and others; this then will allow your soul to become One with Eternity.
Konstantin Kajsarov -Tino - was born in Veles, Macedonia in 1981. At an early age Konstantin began experiencing phenomena that was different than any of his peers. He was often taken by visions and feelings that were difficult to communicate to others and often would see the energy fields that surround and connect all of us. Konstantin and his mother were approached by people from all walks of life, teachers, priests, farmers, doctors and even other children who expressed that they felt that Konstantin was different and seemed destined for a higher calling.
Konstantin first began treating others quite innocently as a teenager when his mother’s friends came to visit. He would give them a massage wherever they were ailing while they were visiting and chatting. After words they would report miraculous changes and renewed vigor. Unbeknownst to his mother, he began treating people at a neighbor’s house on a regular basis and as word spread many came to receive treatment.
Finally Konstantin decided that he should receive education to better help him understand his work and allow him to connect and share with others in the medical profession. He enrolled in University in Ruse, Bulgaria where he received an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology, followed by a Masters Degree in Kinesiology from the University in Sophia, Bulgaria.
Returning to Skoje, Macedonia he began working full time with patients from a small office. Eventually Konstantin’s visions lead him to open a Center for Energetic Healing and Rehabilitation, “Konstantin,” which now allows individuals to receive various types of therapy using both modern technological methods as well as personal, “hands on” treatment from Konstantin. He now looks forward to opening a large resident treatment center that would accommodate dozens of patients for longer periods of stay.
Wishing to further his education, Konstantin recently enrolled in the State University St. Cyril and Methodij of Macedonia in Skopje under their PhD program for holistic healing. He has written two books; a book of poetry, titled Your Light, and his recent, Holy Whisper, a reflection on prayers and praying.

Ann Kreilkamp
Sunday, 4:00:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Location: Limelight Room
Grief's Gold
After Ann Kreilkamp published her award-winning 2007 book, This Vast Being: A Voyage through Grief and Exaltation, she embarked on a book tour to catalyze a deeper discussion of the universal experience of grief. Over ten weeks and 28 group discussions in eight western states, most in private homes, she found herself stunned by how quickly these events tapped into a well of feelings just below the frenzied surface of contemporary life. It appears that grief may be the alchemist’s gold: when we do dare to allow these feelings in, we stumble into a power that invites us to transform our lives and re-enter our innate communion with the natural order. Unlike most people, Ann was gifted with the time and opportunity to fully grieve the loss of her beloved husband and found, during that one exquisite year, what she had been searching for all along. She is now grateful to have the time and opportunity to share what she unearthed in her own being with others. Ann Kreilkamp received her Ph.D. in philosophy from Boston University in 1972 and taught for one year at an experimental California college before being fired as “too experimental.” She then became a student of astrology and worked in that field for 20 years. Her magazine, Crone Chronicles: A Journal of Conscious Aging, ran for 12 years and was twice nominated for an Utne Reader small press award. Her new magazine, Crone: Women Coming of Age, will debut at the Autumn Equinox 2008. She grew up in Idaho and now lives in Bloomington, Indiana.

Dr. Rick Levy
Sunday, 2:00:00 PM - 3:30 PM
Location: Continental Room
Miraculous Healing
Using state-of-the-art computer graphics and riveting, true patient stories to illustrate the science behind his methods and their power, Dr. Rick Levy demonstrates that mind-body medicine – use of the mind to heal the body – doesn’t just make you feel better, it changes you physiologically. Your mind has the ability to heal you from illness, injury, pain, and stress, and to prevent their occurrence in the first place. Everyone has this power. What almost everyone has lacked until recently are easy, effective, research-based methods that predictably work to unleash this power in a way that delivers substantial, measurable results.
Human beings are composed of energy. Thought governs energy, so how you think affects the structure and functioning of your body. This tenet of mind-body medicine is generally accepted, however most popular mind-body methods don’t deliver powerful healing effects because they only tap the power of the conscious mind – the thoughts and feelings that we’re typically aware of. If you want to heal, you must also be able to access the subconscious mind – a storehouse of memory, deep feeling and self-knowledge – and you need to tap the vastness of super-conscious mind – intuitive, limitless aspects of mind capable of influencing the energies in your body and the world around you. In this entertaining overview, Dr. Levy describes the functions and power of the human mind at all levels – conscious, subconscious and super-conscious - and describes how power is accessed at each level using different ways of thinking. If you want to heal, you must also be able to identify the “Story Behind Your Story” – discover what your life has been trying to teach you, heal from trauma and loss, release old resentments, conquer depression and anxiety, discern your most deeply held aspirations and live them out – a must if you want to activate the full power of your mind to heal yourself.
Dr. Levy’s system and methods for self-healing have been developed over 30 years of research and clinical practice. His methods combine wisdom from the fields of advanced psychology, philosophy, theology, neuroscience, biology, chemistry, energy medicine, and quantum physics to deliver immediate, measurable improvements in health and wellbeing – sometimes an instantaneous and permanent cure - for people of every age, culture, race, religion and philosophy.

Randine Lewis
Saturday, 9:00:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Location: Limelight Room
The Way of the Fertile Soul: Using Taoist Alchemy to Tap Into Your Creative Potential
In earlier times, nature, wisdom, health and life were synonymous. All creatures lived in alignment with the cycles of nature and the energy flow of the universe. The realities of the modern world make it harder to nourish and recharge our physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual foundations. The food we eat, the way we breathe, the stressors in our environment and our ways of being in the world all become part of our cellular body. Literally. For centuries, Eastern medicine has promoted holistic wellness, using natural principles to strengthen the body gently and correct imbalances. People following Taoist traditions seek to preserve their health so they have more time to cultivate the divine within and ultimately become one with the The Way.
Randine Lewis, a specialist in treating reproductive pathologies with Eastern medicine, has had an uncommon success helping patients conceive and deliver healthy babies after they'd been told they likely would never do so. Lewis' view is that fertility is not merely the ability to give birth to a child, but the ability to connect with and give birth to our true authentic, creative selves. When we learn to love ourselves fully and tap into our inner healer, we become fertile, able to live a life filled with passion, strength and joy. Using lectures, demonstrations and meditative introspection, participants become aware of their imbalances according to Eastern medicine's five elements model. They learn new ways to clear their mind, uncover and express their inherent creativity, awaken joy, and restore their spirit. Medical practitioners interested in bringing more holistic, experiential healing to their practices will also benefit.
Dr. Randine Lewis, Ph.D., licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, has studied both Eastern and Western medicine. She is the founder of The Fertile Soul, a comprehensive Eastern medicine and fertility institute, and author of The Infertility Cure and The Way of the Fertile Soul: Ten Ancient Chinese Secrets for Tapping Into the Creative Powers of the Universe.

Awakening Into We
Out of chaos a new level of order arises. The astrological influences for the next several years show this to be an era in which the evolutionary forces will be awakening us to our collective issues. Like it or not, we’re all in each other’s face more and more and it is only going to grow in that direction. The arrows of the Sagittarian ideological battles will give way to the briefcase wars in the Capricorn era. But chaos prompts a higher level of order; untapped collective resources will be developed out of necessity. We are moving from the “Me” era to the “We” era.
David is an internationally recognized astrologer, author, speaker and workshop leader. He has been a professional astrologer since 1975 and has a Master of Science Degree in “Experimental Metaphysics.” David’s newest book, The Pursuit of Happiness is coming out later this year, following his other books: Mapping Your Romantic Relationships, Western Seeker, Eastern Paths, Chakras for Beginners, Astrology and Relationships, and The Metaphysical Handbook. David and his wife Laura lead groups to sacred sites around the world. Their next group trip will be to Ireland in the summer of 2009.

Lyle Prouse
Sunday, 4:00:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Location: Sawtooth Room
The Long Journey Back
On March 8, 1990, as the captain of Northwest Flight 650, Lyle Prouse was arrested for flying drunk, along with his two fellow pilots. The next day he sought treatment for alcoholism, the disease that killed both of his parents. One week later, he was fired by Northwest, lost all his FAA licenses, and became a national disgrace. The focus of the national media coverage was unrelenting and seemingly unending. After completing treatment he was convicted of a federal felony in a heavily publicized trial in Minneapolis and sent to federal prison. He was released fourteen months later, broke and stripped of everything. On top of the FAA actions, the judge imposed additional sanctions to guarantee he would never fly again.
In prison Lyle became active in a recovery fellowship, starting a program that the administration continually sabotaged and undermined. He continued his a recovery fellowship involvement upon his release and the miracles began. Not quite four years from his arrest he had regained all of his licenses, literally from the ground up, which no one thought possible. The judge had miraculously lifted his sanctions, making that possible, and the President/CEO of Northwest Airlines made a personal decision to return him to full flight status. He flew nearly five more years at Northwest before retiring at the mandatory retirement age of sixty, his last full year spent as a 747 captain. Two years later he received a Presidential Pardon.
Lyle speaks all over the country, and is also active in Native American sobriety programs. Additionally, he flies for Angel Flights, providing transportation to medical facilities for those in need. Lyle lives in Georgia with Barbara, his wife of 45 years. They have five grandchildren.

Sri Raniji
Sunday, 11:00:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Location: Limelight Room
Celebrate Love in All Your Relationships
An experience – enough with concepts!
To find love in relationships you have to first look within. See how you are being ruled by your belief system and how it is making full use of you. Your expectations lead to disappointment and unhappiness, and your relationships fall apart.
This presentation is experiential. It is not just another talk adding more ideas and concepts on how to work on your relationship. You will be guided to release the hurts, pains and traumas that are causing the conflict in your relationship. After you release, you will find love in that relationship. Also discover how success and failure in your life is a result of what is going on in your relationships.
Come and experience the transfer of energy that will really make this release happen.
Sri Raniji only became aware of suffering when she experienced it as an adult. As she searched for answers, she encountered many concepts and ideas which were not fundamentally helpful. Not until she met Acharyia Anandagiriji, did her life change dramatically and quickly. There was great beauty, simplicity and universality in his message. She realized that only true internal freedom can create a joyful life. The compassion born of her extreme suffering was so profound, she became dedicated to relieve the pain of others. “Use me,” she asked of AmmaBhagavan. That was twelve years ago. Bhagavan appointed her as Spiritual Leader and Founder of the Oneness Movement in North America. Sri Raniji has made her mission to help bring the gift of love to the people of the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Italy. She works and travels tirelessly, presenting a wide variety of workshops such as “Energy Transfer for Awakening”, “Awakening the Higher Self”, “Perfecting Relationships”, “Discovering Bliss”, and “Freedom from Stress.”

Nancy Salzman
Saturday, 2:00:00 PM - 3:30 PM
Location: Limelight Room
Experiential Wellness
Although traditional medicine still debates a mind body connection, most doctors agree that one’s mental attitude has a strong effect of one’s physical health. This may well tie wellness to human emotions, spirituality, psychology, and what Ms. Salzman refers to as Experiential Wellness. In this talk Ms. Salzman will discuss the mind body connection, wellness and The Science of Joy.
Nancy Salzman, President of Executive Success Programs, Inc. has over 25 years of study and practice in the fields of healthcare, human potential, and human empowerment. Ms. Salzman began her career as a psychiatric nurse and, after sustaining a back injury early in her career, she pursued an interest in the fields of chronic pain and chronic illness and began an exploration into non-traditional approaches to health and healing. She studied psycho-neuroimmunology and psychobiology and later studied Ericksonian approaches to brief, solution-based therapy with many acknowledged experts. She then practiced individual and family therapy for seven years before becoming a professional trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming. In 1992, she incorporated the International Center for Change, and expanded into corporate consulting and organizational work in the areas of health care, government, and industry.
After almost two decades of searching for unique, permanent therapeutic solutions to human performance problems, Ms. Salzman met Keith Raniere, creator of Rational Inquiry™, who taught Ms. Salzman his remarkable technology. In 1998 Ms. Salzman incorporated Executive Success Programs and implemented a new, reproducible method of teaching Mr. Raniere’s model while ensuring consistent results. She is now the leading authority in Rational Inquiry™ and has created curriculum for over 200 two-hour modules and practice sessions used to train participants, coaches, and facilitators since the company’s inception.

The Way of the Fertile Soul: Using Taoist Alchemy to Tap Into Your Creative Potential
In earlier times, nature, wisdom, health and life were synonymous. All creatures lived in alignment with the cycles of nature and the energy flow of the universe. The realities of the modern world make it harder to nourish and recharge our physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual foundations. The food we eat, the way we breathe, the stressors in our environment and our ways of being in the world all become part of our cellular body. Literally. For centuries, Eastern medicine has promoted holistic wellness, using natural principles to strengthen the body gently and correct imbalances. People following Taoist traditions seek to preserve their health so they have more time to cultivate the divine within and ultimately become one with the The Way.
Randine Lewis, a specialist in treating reproductive pathologies with Eastern medicine, has had an uncommon success helping patients conceive and deliver healthy babies after they'd been told they likely would never do so. Lewis' view is that fertility is not merely the ability to give birth to a child, but the ability to connect with and give birth to our true authentic, creative selves. When we learn to love ourselves fully and tap into our inner healer, we become fertile, able to live a life filled with passion, strength and joy. Using lectures, demonstrations and meditative introspection, participants become aware of their imbalances according to Eastern medicine's five elements model. They learn new ways to clear their mind, uncover and express their inherent creativity, awaken joy, and restore their spirit. Medical practitioners interested in bringing more holistic, experiential healing to their practices will also benefit.
Dr. Randine Lewis, Ph.D., licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, has studied both Eastern and Western medicine. She is the founder of The Fertile Soul, a comprehensive Eastern medicine and fertility institute, and author of The Infertility Cure and The Way of the Fertile Soul: Ten Ancient Chinese Secrets for Tapping Into the Creative Powers of the Universe.

Experiential Wellness
Although traditional medicine still debates a mind body connection, most doctors agree that one’s mental attitude has a strong effect of one’s physical health. This may well tie wellness to human emotions, spirituality, psychology, and what Ms. Salzman refers to as Experiential Wellness. In this talk Ms. Salzman will discuss the mind body connection, wellness and The Science of Joy.

She studied psycho-neuroimmunology and psychobiology and later studied Ericksonian approaches to brief, solution-based therapy with many acknowledged experts. She then practiced individual and family therapy for seven years before becoming a professional trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming. In 1992, she incorporated the International Center for Change, and expanded into corporate consulting and organizational work in the areas of health care, government, and industry.
After almost two decades of searching for unique, permanent therapeutic solutions to human performance problems, Ms. Salzman met Keith Raniere, creator of Rational Inquiry™, who taught Ms. Salzman his remarkable technology. In 1998 Ms. Salzman incorporated Executive Success Programs and implemented a new, reproducible method of teaching Mr. Raniere’s model while ensuring consistent results. She is now the leading authority in Rational Inquiry™ and has created curriculum for over 200 two-hour modules and practice sessions used to train participants, coaches, and facilitators since the company’s inception.

Sri Raniji

Location: Limelight Room
Celebrate Love in All Your Relationships
An experience – enough with concepts!
To find love in relationships you have to first look within. See how you are being ruled by your belief system and how it is making full use of you. Your expectations lead to disappointment and unhappiness, and your relationships fall apart.
This presentation is experiential. It is not just another talk adding more ideas and concepts on how to work on your relationship. You will be guided to release the hurts, pains and traumas that are causing the conflict in your relationship. After you release, you will find love in that relationship. Also discover how success and failure in your life is a result of what is going on in your relationships.
Come and experience the transfer of energy that will really make this release happen.
Sri Raniji only became aware of suffering when she experienced it as an adult. As she searched for answers, she encountered many concepts and ideas which were not fundamentally helpful. Not until she met Acharyia Anandagiriji, did her life change dramatically and quickly. There was great beauty, simplicity and universality in his message. She realized that only true internal freedom can create a joyful life. The compassion born of her extreme suffering was so profound, she became dedicated to relieve the pain of others. “Use me,” she asked of AmmaBhagavan. That was twelve years ago. Bhagavan appointed her as Spiritual Leader and Founder of the Oneness Movement in North America. Sri Raniji has made her mission to help bring the gift of love to the people of the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Italy. She works and travels tirelessly, presenting a wide variety of workshops such as “Energy Transfer for Awakening”, “Awakening the Higher Self”, “Perfecting Relationships”, “Discovering Bliss”, and “Freedom from Stress.”

Like it or not, we’re all in each other’s face more and more and it is only going to grow in that direction. The arrows of the Sagittarian ideological battles will give way to the briefcase wars in the Capricorn era. But chaos prompts a higher level of order; untapped collective resources will be developed out of necessity. We are moving from the “Me” era to the “We” era.
