Dr. Eric Pearl ran a chiropractic practice in Los Angeles before discovering Reconnective Healing. One day, his patients began to report healings when he simply held his hands near them, without him physically touching them. So, he went in search of the universal wisdom behind what was happening. Unlike today’s known forms of Energy Healing, this work is practiced without complex techniques or elaborate rituals. Through Dr. Pearl’s journey of research and discovery, it became clear that the appropriate name for this work is “Reconnective Healing.”

Now recognized and supported by science, Reconnective Healing facilitates healings for people that are often instantaneous and can last a lifetime. Feeling compelled to teach others, Dr. Eric’s work has taken him to over 100 countries affecting millions of people. Dr. Eric’s hope is that one day everyone will learn to access this natural ability. People will use it to heal themselves and others.

He’s the author and co-author of the following books:

"The reconnection: heal others, heal yourself”

“Solomon speaks on reconnecting your life”

"The direct path to healing: a trinity of energy, light and information"

Rhiannon Heins is an Australian healer, intuitive channel, energy worker and author. She was trained as a bodyworker and yoga teacher and used to run her own incredibly successful yoga studio in Australia. She teaches a series of online trainings to students internally, encouraging people to deeply heal and align with their intuition in order to live a more fulfilling and beautiful life.

Andra’s work is around integration.

She holds transformational spaces for humans wanting to move out of what she calls ‘the darkness’ and ‘deadness’ (a.k.a. depressive tendencies or the dark night of the soul) toward feeling alive, connected, and peaceful.

She also supports people to integrate the highs and lows of spiritual awakening and insights from altered states of consciousness.

She blends powerful mystical practices with current scientific knowings for true & authentic transformation.

This comes from her own experience of going through such experiences.

She has done so much training that going through it all would legitimately take too much time. Her studies span from ancient practices like mindfulness, yoga and buddhism, to a Master’s of Science in Consciousness, Spirituality, & Transpersonal Psychology… to kundalini dance, to somatic work and so much in between.

We talk about how people experience spiritual awakenings, the importance of having a guide and fundamental ideas about how to integrate mystical experiences. Andra also shares perspectives from both ancient traditions as well as modern science, and the importance of making meaning from these experiences.

Kelle Sparts is a transformational shaman and so much more! We talk about her time living with shamans, portals and other realms, and why we should do consciousness travelling instead of astral traveling. One of the aspects of Kelle's work that is so extraordinary, is that she doesn't confine her work to one practice or belief system. On the contrary, she crosses disciplines, stitching together a greater tapestry and understanding the deeper underpinnings of different spiritual paths and practices. She shares her knowledge on both the internal personal development work, as well as the more external focus of manifesting something in our lives. We also talk about trauma, and the three stages of spiritual work. Make sure to listen till the end as there's a real treasure in the last thing we discuss.

Scott Ohlgren shares his knowledge on brain tonics / nootropics and his story of creating one of the most (and perhaps the most) potent brain tonic available today. Nootropics are tonics which have cognitive enhancing effects, and can be a tremendous aid for the very challenging times we live in. They can do wonders for mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. And unlike things such as coffee, which stimulates the brain, these formulas nourish the brain. Nootropics can be traced all the way back to Ayurvedic medicine and traditional asian medicine. The benefit we have now with the advances in technology, is that we can make them far more potent (which is dearly needed with everything that's going on in the world). It used to be that a 5 to 1 potency was good. But now we can do things like 50 to 1, and even 100 to 1 potency.

Snigdha Nandipati has a bachelor in science (neuroscience) from Yale, she's a patient advocate, and author of "A case of culture" which explores how patients from different cultures navigate the challenges of Western medicine with the help of cultural brokers. Snigdha shares stories on the value of having medical professionals understanding and being open to different cultures and belief systems, the challenges of working with these different perspectives, and why trust is one the biggest barriers for people from different cultures seeking western medicine. We explore the bridge between modern science and traditional healing practices and how we can use both. She opens up the possibility of having gold standard research in traditional methods and the benefits of having cultural brokers in the medical field.
