Audrey Murr Copland, British Healer & Renowned International Healing Arts Tutor, speaks about healing our planet through love. On 12/12/2012 and every day we hope everybody can try to connect to this love. Audrey shares an important Breathing and Meditation Exercise for Personal and Universal Healing. Audrey has built up a dedicated following over 25 years in the spiritual field. She was fortunate to develop her skills alongside mentors such as Sir George Trevelyan, Frederic Lionel, Lilla Bek, Brugh Joy and Barbara Ann Brennan. She is widely travelled and has taught many hundreds of people how to heal and be healed in many different places including America, Canada, Newfoundland, Alaska, Germany, Israel, Spain and Portugal. Audrey has also helped set up Healing organisations in Europe and USA. Audrey is a natural sensitive who works intuitively with colour and energy yet she has always sought to grow and develop her skills through experience and deep study. For more information go to www.ucanhealit.com. Three members of the Steven Graves band play songs from the newly released cd "Let it Ride." Let it Ride evokes images of early Neil Young with great harmony vocals, tasty guitar and mandolin riffs, and Steven’s emotional and passionate singing. See http://www.stevengravesmusic.com. Finally, the most angelic music we've ever heard-- Marya Stark playing songs from her newly released "The Garden" album. From the sunny coast of Santa Cruz, California, singer-songwriter Marya Stark emerges from Gadgetbox Studios, where she and producer Andy Zenzack have been chiseling away for over a year to delicately craft a sonic masterpiece. Marya’s debut album “The Garden” is a collection of 13 songs ranging in influence from classical aria, pop music, and cinematic indie folk. Each song blossoms, carving its own unique aesthetic world. The record features lush string arrangements, pounding orchestral drum sections and Queen-styled vocal harmonies. At the center of it all is Marya’s refined, hypnotic and enchanting voice weaving intelligent, honest and lucid stories. Her hope-filled anthems, dynamic musicality and expansive emotional landscapes show the many facets of a passionate, awakening heart. See http://maryastark.bandcamp.com.

The Occupy Love Film, an Altared Christmas, and Pipa Pinon with Dreambeach
Saturday Nov 24, 2012
Saturday Nov 24, 2012
We talk to Velcrow Ripper, Canadian Academy Award (Genie) winning filmmaker, writer, sound designer and public speaker. He creates powerful, cinematic documentaries that deal with the central issues of our times. Occupy Love is the culmination of his epic “Fierce Love Trilogy” which began with Scared Sacred, named one of Canada’s Top 10 movies of 2004, and winner of the 2005 Genie (Canadian Academy Award) for best feature documentary. It continued with 2008′s award winning Fierce Light: When Spirit Meets Action . Join acclaimed director Velcrow Ripper on a journey deep inside the global revolution of the heart that is erupting around the planet. His next film Occupy Love is being released in the Spring of 2012. From the Arab Spring to the European Summer, from the Occupy Movement to the global climate justice movement, a profound shift is taking place: humanity is waking up to the fact that the dominant system of power is failing to provide us with health, happiness or meaning. The old paradigm that concentrates wealth, founded on the greed of the few, is collapsing. Endless growth on a finite planet cannot be sustained. The resulting crisis has become the catalyst for a profound transformation: millions of people are deciding that enough is enough – the time has come to create a new world, a world that works for all life. OCCUPY LOVE is a film that chronicles the heart of the revolution. See http://occupylove.org/ Next, Rhan Wilson shares songs from the 8th annual "An Altared Christmas" this December 8th, at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz, CA.
