Rev. Dr. Karen Tate, author, speaker, radio show host and social justice activist discusses how reawakening our earliest sacred stories - goddess mythology - can reshape our culture and lead humanity toward a paradigm shift of caring, sharing, peace and equality.  Hear Karen discuss the relevance of Goddess as deity, archetype and ideal as we strive toward that 100th Monkey, raising the vibration of all beings on Mother Earth.

Rev. Dr. Karen Tate, four-times published author, internationally known speaker and radio show host and social justice activist has recently been named one of the 13 Most Influential Women in Goddess Spirituality and a Wisdom Keeper of the Goddess Spirituality Movement.  Her long-running radio show, Voices of the Sacred Feminine has been called a treasure trove of wisdom for our time and she's just been picked to moderate a panel and give a talk at the prestigious Council for the Parliament of World Religions being held this October in Salt Lake City, UT.  

Justin Deschamps was born in Portland Maine, and grew up in the Boston area. As a Physics, Psychology and Spirituality student, he has been searching for truth all his life, looking to make sense of the insanity in this world. In that time, he has developed a holistic body of knowledge linking science, philosophy and spirituality into a single framework of ever-expanding understanding. 

He shares what he has with the world, becoming a teacher to some and student to others. His goal is to help himself and others become better truth seekers, and with the wisdom gained in the process, make this planet the paradise it is meant to be. He says he is happy to give back to a world and universe he received so much from.  His main form of expression is the outstanding alternative news blog, Stillness in the Storm, which he and Julian Robles created together.  Julian transitioned in 2015, and Justin has been dedicated to continuing SITS ever since.

The Stillness in the Storm Show and Blog is an ongoing conversation about world events, hidden truths, and empowering information; how our thoughts, emotions and actions mold our collective reality. A different perspective on MSM (mainstream news), practical knowledge, news on health and wellness, alternative history, science, law, and much more!

CATHY BYRD

Cathy Byrd is the author of the book The Boy Who Knew Too Much, which was released by Hay House on March 21, 2017. The movie rights for this remarkable story have recently been purchased by 20^th Century Fox and producer DeVon Franklin who created the movies Heaven is for Real and Miracles from Heaven. Cathy is a residential real estate broker and mother of two young children who never had aspirations of becoming a writer until her two-year-old son began sharing memories of being a baseball player in the 1920s and ‘30s. What makes this story even more fascinating is that Byrd’s son Christian Haupt has been touted by the international media as being a baseball prodigy since the age of two when he was discovered on YouTube by Adam Sandler for a baseball-playing cameo role in the movie That’s My Boy.

Shortly after his fourth birthday, Christian became the youngest person to ever throw a ceremonial first pitch at a Major League baseball game and his YouTube baseball videos have now been viewed by more than 17 million people. Christian’s case was studied by Dr. Jim Tucker from the University of Virginia Medical School department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences. Dr. Tucker has continued the research on children’s past-life memories that was originally started by Dr. Ian Stevenson in 1967. The University of Virginia now has over 2,500 cases of children who remember past lives on file.

A Southern California native, Cathy received her B.A. from UCLA and her M.B.A. from Pepperdine University. The most likely place to find Cathy in her free time is at a youth baseball field.
