CELEBRATING 50 YEARS

Strawbs are Britain's most successful international progressive folk-rock band. They are mentioned in the same breath as progressive rock bands Yes, King Crimson and The Moody Blues. Strawbs have a devoted fan base that continues to grow on the strength of their incredible live performances together with their classic albums over the years including "Grave New World", "Bursting at the Seams", "Hero & Heroine" and "Ghosts." The band has achieved sales of over three million albums, seven consecutive Strawbs albums have featured in the US Billboard Top 200 albums.

Many top musicians have featured in the Strawbs line up over the years, including Sonjia Kristina, Blue Weaver, Don Airey and as well as Rick Wakeman , both his classically trained sons Adam and Oliver have been featured, a certain compliment to the band's talent. After several years of touring in both acoustic and electric lineups, in 2017 Strawbs released "The Ferryman's Curse", their first studio album of original material in eight years. The album returned to the album charts and garnered rave reviews worldwide!

The current Strawbs line-up comprises David Cousins, lead guitarist Dave Lambert, bass player Chas Cronk, and drummer Tony Fernandez, who recorded and toured together in the 1970s. They are joined by keyboard and guitar virtuoso Dave Bainbridge of Iona - a band who created a mystical blend of rock, folk, Celtic and ambient music - a perfect match for Strawbs.

British rock legends Strawbs will mark their 50th anniversary with a three-day event filled with exclusive musical performances that feature the band’s current line-up, special guests and many of the artists that have contributed to the band’s sound over its five-decade history.

The event will take place at The Strand Theater in Lakewood, New Jersey from April 26 through April 28, 2019 and will be hosted by Strawbs founding member David Cousins, along with long serving band mates Chas Cronk, Dave Lambert, Tony Fernandez and the band’s latest addition, Dave Bainbridge.

JAN and MONIKA ZANDS

We are life coaches and relationship coaches that are committed to helping you live the life of your dreams. Our coaching sessions are jam packed with lessons and tools to help you shift your perspective, get out of your own way and let go of the things from your past that are limiting your happiness.

Working on yourself and your relationship doesn’t have to be hard, serious or messy. Often in our sessions, we’re laughing together as our clients uncover misunderstandings, limiting beliefs and patterns that have kept them stuck in their life. When you begin to remove your negative thoughts and feelings about yourself, you can start feeling happier and more positive in all aspects of your life.

To get the most out of your investment in yourself, we often assign personalized work to deepen the lessons and skills outside of our sessions. We see people get better results when they are being more proactive than just during our weekly session. We like to compare working with us like working out at a gym… It takes time and practice to build new muscles. Your personalized assignments are designed to support your growth and awareness and put into action the learning you gain from our sessions.

We both have Masters in Spiritual Psychology and have been married for 18 years with three children. Through the combination of our education, training, and personal life experiences, we’ve learned to create the life and relationship of our dreams, and we are now helping others to create theirs.

DAVID YOUNG

David Young is a musician who plays two renaissance flutes at one time in harmony. He has recorded 60 albums and sold over 1,000,000 copies. He is a healer, channeler, author and abstract artist.

It is said that more people have had out of body experiences while listening to his music than other musician alive today.

David is on tour throughout the country for 40 weeks out of the year, presenting his healing workshops, A Portal Between Heaven and Earth.

More than 6,500 people have shared their experiences with the Ascended Masters, Archangels and/or loved ones on the heavenly side.

David’s ability to open the channels to the ethereal realms is a direct result of his personal connection to the ascended masters combined with the extraordinary reach of the sound frequencies of his music.

The personal experiences and documented feedback at David’s events are nothing short of phenomenal!

People consistently share their experiences with either Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tzu, Quan Yin, or Mother Mary. Others have experiences with Edgar Cayce, Gandhi, George Harrison, John Lennon, Ravi Shankar, and the Egyptian Goddess Isis. 

Three people at one event saw Jesus standing in the exact same place in the room and he gave each of them the same inner symbols.

Two women sitting next to each other at one event both described experiencing Quan Yin standing between them.

On separate evenings, two people had the exact same experience with Buddha who brought them to this gigantic tree (The Tree of Life) that was so tremendous it was beyond their description of words.

Violetta, who has cancer, has been visited six times by Jesus, George Harrison and John Lennon at events as they are helping her to heal. After living with 10 out of 10 horrible pain from her treatments the week before the last event she was pain free for 48 hours afterwards.

A woman (whose son had Down Syndrome) had a Soul to Soul experience where he was syndrome free on the inner and he explained why he had that disease in his current life.

David was given nine words to give to a woman, “I am Strong, I am Protected, I am Confident.” Afterwards she shared that Archangel Michael had come to her the previous week and gave her the same nine words and told her to write them down.

At one particular event a woman was visited by Martin Luther King, who said he had some work for her in a couple of days. She shared this in front of 40 people who heard this at the event. 3 days later on Monday morning, her boss called her in to say he was putting her in charge of the Martin Luther King fund! 

Experience the healing music and deep meditations of David Young.

Over 10,000 Wellness Centers and healers of all kinds; Reiki practitioners, therapists, psychics, yoga studios and spas use his music all day long because they feel that his music is the most healing music on the planet. John Hopkins Medical Centers actually have entire floors that play his music 24/7 for this reason. Approximately 300,000 people a day are being treated while listening to his music.

David has recorded more than 57 albums including 6 Musical Affirmation CDs that have been approved by the APA (the American Psychological Association) because of their therapeutic qualities. The healing thread that connects all of David’s music is his amazing ability to play two flutes at once. This creates a harmonic resonance and a frequency that millions of people all over the world have experienced and call “The Most Heavenly Music on Earth.” Over 1,000,000 CDs have been sold.

Transforming Spiritual Events

David unique performances consist of two 30-minute musical meditations with a group discussion after each. It’s not uncommon to hear people describe their personal meditation experiences as going to the same exact place in the spiritual world.

“Everyone in the room will have some form of spiritual experience, either with the Inner Light or Sound, experiencing an Ascended Master, an out of body experience, a past life experience, or reconnecting with a loved one.”
