Shelley Yates lives in Nova Scotia, Canada, and has not only died and come back, but had the wonderful good fortune to come back with a message of hope and love for our earth and its inhabitants. Shelley first learned how to apply her new knowledge from beyond to bring her son back from death in an unprecedented display, using the power of faith, love and the manipulation of personal human energy. Her son returned whole and happy. She was told "what you did for a dying boy with a small group of people you can do for a dying planet with a large group." She shares her story of miracles and her knowledge of human energy potential with all that are willing to listen. Her final outcome has been the creation of a world project in which all of humanity can contribute to change the earth we live on, creating prosperity, peace and healing for all that desire it.

Shelley Yates and her son, Evan, were drowned in 2002 when their car hydroplaned off the road, overturned, and sank to the bottom of a flooded marsh in Nova Scotia. Shelley was trapped in the car. A voice told her not to struggle or she would not be able to be revived when she would be rescued. She had never heard such a voice before this. She did not believe in God. She says of herself, "I was a 'diehard atheist'." Yet, she did not struggle, and she drowned. It was 15 minutes before she was rescued. After she was revived, she alerted the EMT's to find her son, who was age 4 at the time. Close to 30 minutes passed before he was pulled from the water. It took more time for the EMT's to get him breathing again. At the hospital, he was diagnosed as brain dead with non-viable organs, and given only 1% chance of surviving. However, Shelley was told by the voice that he would recover if many persons came and shared the energy of their auras for 20 minutes each.

As a couple, Robin and Joseph have been practicing Conscious Loving for ten years. Though they are polar opposites, they have become each other's greatest friends and together have experienced the deepest pain of separation.  Through a tenacious commitment to persevere and create Unity, inside and out, their marriage has become the catalyst for their Souls to awaken and heal.  Joseph and Robin have been blessed with three amazing children who have initiated them into a new form of parenting honoring the needs of each child's soul evolution.  Two of the children developed challenging physical/emotional conditions.  Robin and Joseph were shown that unconscious family dynamics, ancestral conditioning, and the Soul beliefs of the children needed to be transformed in order to create holistic healing miracles.  The whole family system evolved consciously to support the physical and behavioral changes.

Joseph has created several successful architecture and construction-related businesses, responsible for built projects totaling over $2 billion.  When he moved to Santa Fe in 1999, and immediately met Robin, he was ignited to pursue the multidimensional healing gifts that he maintained throughout his life.

As a trained architect and psychic, Joseph envisions the physical and finer bodies, Soul and Essence structures, and the organization of the Universe in architectural terms: interrelated systems of elements synergistically intertwined.  Joseph assists people to transform the structures of consciousness to allow them to create different realities.  He integrates dimensional DNA healings with grounded structural healing techniques.
