Guest Biography:

AUNTIE KAYTE DEIOMA

Kayte started performing and writing songs in middle school and high school, including penning her first recorded song, Lullaby of Hope, for her younger siblings when she was 16. She studied voice at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and continued performing through graduate school in Southern California, with a couple years in between spent bumming around Europe with a guitar. Then life took her on a completely different trajectory working with at-risk youth in Long Beach, CA for a number of years before returning to the creative arts in photography and writing.

Kayte was inspired to start writing songs again after talking to her youngest nephew, Declan, about good and bad in the context of knights and pirates. She wanted to offer new ways to look at relationships and behavior commonly seen in fairy-tales and life. Once she started, the gift of songs continued to flow, and opportunities to perform them materialized. As new ideas came and Auntie Kayte started once again working with kids and adults in challenging circumstances, she was drawn to write songs that address common issues from childhood that we carry into adulthood. Auntie Kayte believes that if you’re going to get a song stuck in your head, it might as well be something useful,  empowering and fun that will pop into your head just when you need it!

In addition to continuing to perform at family festivals, schools and other family concerts, Auntie Kayte also regularly sings selections from her original children’s music repertoire for adults and their inner children at personal development seminars and conferences.

Kayte Deioma is also an advocate and speaker on the topic of research that impacts how we present music to kids and safe volume levels for kids and adults.

Guest Occupation: Trainer of Love Athletes
Guest Biography:

Daniel Packard is a Trainer of Love Athletes. Daniel believes that in the same way a physical athlete can train their body for Olympic level sport, a Love Athlete can train their consciousness for Olympic level love.  For over ten years Daniel has been training Love Athletes to experience the triumphant joy of Olympic level love.

TRANSFORMATIONAL ENTERTAINER

Fusing his passion of helping people create better love, with his passion of making people laugh (he was a professional stand up comedian for ten years) Daniel has created several projects (TV, Broadway, Radio) where he delivers his insightful lessons in a entertaining and engaging way.  ​

DANIEL'S BACKGROUND

​Amateur To Athlete

Before Daniel was a trainer of Love Athletes, he was himself, a love amateur; meaning no matter what he did, no matter how hard he tried, his love life was always average.  After years of pain and frustration, Daniel eventually saw very clearly the source of his disappointment…the timeless adage “You can’t love somebody, until you love yourself.’ 

​Finding The How

Unfortunately, Daniel realized that while people talk self-love, nobody was really talking about how to actually build that self-love.  So with the courage of a spiritual warrior and the mind of a passionate scientist (he was a mechanical engineer from UC Berkeley) Daniel set off to discover the actual how of building self-love.

​Science Of Self-Love

After ten years of experiential and academic research and experimentation, Daniel has built a very precise and clear model of the mechanics of self-love.  This 'Science of Self-Love' he created, gives people a clear and practical understanding of how self-love works, how self-love effects our lives, and how to build self-love on a daily basis. 

The Love Gym

His book ‘Love's One Lesson: How One Thing Can Change Everything’ and his online training series ‘Next Level Love’ uses a proprietary process Daniel developed, where Love Athletes can use their lives as an experiential inner workout gym to build strong inner muscles that allow them to love themselves, and others, at the highest level possible.

​In over 1100 performances (colleges, churches, companies) throughout 4 continents, Daniel has been using humor to open people up to their potential for love greatness.

​LoveLab was a TV reality show Daniel created, that attempted to bring empowering concepts of self-awareness and personal responsibility to mainstream television.  ​

Backed by the producers of 'Book Of Mormon,'  'Live Group Sex Therapy' was a hugely funny one-man-show, that brought clarity and compassion to the battle of the sexes.

Created and hosted by Daniel, FlirtFest is a conscious singles event designed to inspire and encourage people to connect in a way that is more open, authentic and full of F.L.I.R.T.  (Free Love In Real Time).
