Guest Biography:

MARY MILLER is an internationally known speaker and educator. She was born and raised in the Boston, Massachusetts area. Mary received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1971 from Boston State College and went on to obtain a Masters degree in Social Work (MSW) in 1973 from the University of Connecticut. Although now retired from clinical social work, she has many years of experience as a psychotherapist in community mental health centers and in private practice.

Mary began her social work career in 1968 as a counselor and youth worker in a cutting edge youth rehabilitation program called Adolescent Counseling in Development. As a counselor she obtained over a thousand hours of training in Gestalt therapy. She also studied Transactional Analysis, Rebirthing, Bioenergetics, Re-evaluation Counseling and Psychodrama. In 1975, Mary founded an alternative mental health center called the People Place, which she directed for several years. In 1982, she founded a second alternative health service called OffSpring that provided support services to families who had lost young children. As a result of that work Mary authored two books:

Transitions Through BirthandEnded Beginnings. From 1984 to 2006, Mary worked with John Miller as researcher and teacher at the Gentle Wind Project, examining alternative pathways to good mental health. The Gentle Wind Project was a good will nonprofit that offered free mental and emotional support to anyone seeking help. The Project researched and developed balancing instruments that were known throughout the world for their effectiveness. The instruments were available on a donation basis. The Project also donated stress relief instruments to impoverished and war-torn countries as well as places that were affected by natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. In 2003, Gentle Wind became the target of a cyber smear campaign, and along with an unethical government official who joined forces with the cyber smear group, they set out to destroy the efforts of this nonprofit. After years of litigation, Gentle Wind finally closed its doors in 2006 at the hands of the unethical government official. The Gentle Wind Project left behind records showing that thousands of people had benefitted from this company's efforts. The story can be found in Mary's book, Caught in the Act of Helping.

Mary Miller continued in her quest to find alternative, reliable pathways to alleviate mental and emotional distress. She is now the director of https://www.ichingsystems.net/ an alternative mental health group that uses the I Ching Hexagrams in the development of their personal balancing instruments. Mary's new book,The Magic of the I Ching: Ancient Symbols To Soothe the Soul, will be available next year, in 2012.

Guest Occupation: Beekeeper, Educator, Beekeeping Facilitator, Honey Farm Co-Owner, Apiarist, Mead Producer, Honey Producer
Guest Biography:

Judy Campbell

As co-owner, with Mike Campbell, of  Campbell’s Gold Honey Farm and Meadery, we operate a diversified 8 acre farm operation, including an apiary, in south west Abbotsford.  We offer off-farm honey bee pollination services to local growers and focus on honey and honey wine producton.

As retired professionals we set out to have an active and healthy lifestyle in retirement.  We have certainly achieved this goal…and then some!

Mike, who retired from teaching high school after 35+ years, took up hobby beekeeping about 17 years ago, long before he retired.  As retirement approached and in consultation with Judy, the decision was made to combine Mike’s beekeeping and honey wine hobby activities, with Judy’s love of the outdoors, gardening and the arts, to develop what is today a thriving agricultural, agri-tourism business.  Mike has been active in both the Surrey and Langley Bee Clubs and served a term as second vice-president of the B.C. Honey Producters Association.  Over the last 3 years, Mike has participated in research to enhance honey bee health, and results have been submitted for review and publication.

Judy is a retired federal public service manager.  Fear of bees when we first started beekeeping was the biggest obstacle for Judy who reluctantly joined Mike in the beekeeping hobby at the outset.  Mike being the persuasive type, encouraged Judy to take the Ministry of Agriculture’s basic beekeeping course with him. Part of that course had a lab component where participants were a stung in a controlled environment to determine if they had allergies.  It is there that Judy realized that her fear of bees was due to the irrational fear of being stung, and once intentionally stung, she understood that her fear was unfounded.  Slowly Judy overcame her fear of bees, and focused on honey production, product development and sales.

Mike completed the Master Beekeepers Course and Judy completed this same course some years later, as she joined Mike in retirement.

Although Mike is the Apiary Manager and primary apiarist, we work together in our queen rearing and nuc production endeavours.  We are still playing, working, and learning together.

Our passion includes bee education and being socially and environmentally responsible. Both of us have graduate degrees in learning, so in retirement we wanted to continue to learn and facilitate the learning of others. We provide educational tours and activities, and participate in off-farm community events.  Our bee educational tours have involved all ages from 3 yrs to seniors up to 100 years old.  We started a junior beekeeper week-long, summer day camp for ages 10-14, 3 years ago.  In addition to the existing program, for 2012 we are introducing an additional week-long advanced junior beekeepers day camp for those who actually want to start their own hive.  We feel it is critical to encourage future generations to learn about apiculture, an often neglected aspect of agriculture.

The farm is a licenced  Meadery (honey winery),  producing a variety of honey wines, including ancient mead, melomels (honey/fruit wines), pyment (honey/grape wine) and more.

Our on-farm country store opened in 2007 and has provided a location for local consumers from which to buy honeys, honey wines, and other products from the bee hive such as beeswax soaps, candles, and polishes

We also strategically market our honey products to high end markets and stores in the Fraser Valley and in the Caribou.

The honey farm employs 5 employees throughout the year and we attribute much of our success to the group of committed staff, who assist in the apiary and who offer a warm old fashioned country welcome to all who visit the country store.

BIO BELOW FROM: http://www.gizapyramid.com/BIO-Mehler.htm

ABOUT STEPHEN S. MEHLER, M.A.

Stephen  Mehler was born and raised in New York City, USA  His early education focused on the sciences and he received a B.A. in Physiology and Anatomy, with a minor in Chemistry, from Hunter College of the City University of New York in 1967.  After a four year hiatus in the U.S. Air Force, during the Vietnam War, Stephen came to California and resumed academic work.  He earned an M.A. in Natural Sciences from San Jose State University, specializing in Human Ecology.  Discovering a love for prehistory, Stephen worked on an archaeological excavation in France in 1974 with Professor Francois Bordes of the University of Bordeaux, then Director of Antiquities for southwestern France.  Returning to San Jose State University, Stephen earned a second M.A. in Social Sciences, specializing in Prehistory and Ancient History in 1978.

Since 1968, Stephen has intently researched material about ancient Egypt, particularly the era known as the Amarna Period and the King Akhenaten.  Becoming involved with the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC in 1977, exposed Stephen to the esoteric teachings about Egyptian Mystery Schools.  It was at this time Stephen discovered the writings of the French hermeticist and alchemist, R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, founder of the Symbolist School of Egyptology.  Stephen also cites the writings of John Anthony West, Murry Hope and Bika Reed as major influences in his pursuit into Egyptology.  Presently, Stephen specializes in synthesizing the theories of academic Egyptology with the arcane wisdom tradition known as the Sacred Science of ancient Egypt.

While working as a Staff Research Scientist for the Rosicrucian Order, Stephen experienced and researched with what has become known as the Mayan Crystal Skull.  Stephen has since worked with three other ancient crystal skulls: the Amethyst Crystal Skull, the famous Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull and the Texas Crystal Skull.  Stephen has been interviewed on radio and television concerning his crystal skull research and is featured in the book, Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed (Bowen, Nocerino & Shapiro, J&S Aquarian Networking, 1988).  Research into crystal skulls is ongoing.

In 1992, Stephen met Egyptian-born Egyptologist and Indigenous Wisdom Keeper, Abd’El Hakim Awyan.  It is Hakim’s teachings about the ancient Khemitian civilization, well over 10,000 years old, that now forms the framework for Stephen’s current research.  Having done field work with Hakim in 1997, 1998, and 1999 in Egypt, Stephen has written a book, THE LAND OF OSIRIS: An Introduction to Khemitology, redefining the field as Khemitology, not Egyptology.  This book also supports the work of Christopher Dunn, author of THE GIZA POWER PLANT.  Stephen’s research supports Dunn’s conclusions that the Great Pyramid was never intended to be a tomb for a king, but a machine to transform, generate and transmit energy. Stephen is currently Director of Research of The Land of Osiris Research Project and The Great Pyramid of Giza Research Association has been interviewed on the radio by Laura Lee, Jeff Rense and the Art Bell show. 

Since 1988, Stephen has also been active in the field of Astrology, and has done private natal and progressed chart readings.  He cites Barbara Hand Clow as a major influence in this area as well as his beloved teacher, Guy Dickinson.

Stephen has also maintained an active interest in the study of UFO/Extraterrestrial phenomenon for over thirty years.  Both as a researcher and experiencer, this interest is presently a part of Stephen’s research into previous prehistoric civilizations.  Stephen cites the works of Max Flindt and Otto Binder, Immanuel Velikovsky, Erich Van Danikan, Zecharia Sitchin and Dr. Arthur Horn as major influences in the possible connection with ancient human civilizations and extraterrestrial contacts.  This research is presently ongoing.

A popular lecturer and teacher, Stephen has had articles published in The Rosicrucian Digest, World Explorer magazine, and Atlantis Rising magazine.  Stephen currently resides in Colorado.

BIO BELOW FROM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roseanne_Barr

Roseanne Cherrie Barr (born November 3, 1952) is an American actress, comedienne, writer, television producer, director and 2012 presidential nominee of the California-based Peace and Freedom Party. Barr began her career in stand-up comedy at clubs before gaining fame for her role in the sitcom Roseanne. The show was a hit and lasted nine seasons, from 1988 to 1997. She won both an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her work on the show. Barr had crafted a "fierce working-class domestic goddess" persona in the eight years preceding her sitcom and wanted to do a realistic show about a strong mother who was not a victim of patriarchal consumerism.[1]

The granddaughter of immigrants from Europe and Russia, Barr was the oldest of four children in a working-class Jewish Salt Lake City family; she was also active in the LDS Church. In 1974 she married Bill Pentland, with whom she had three children, before divorcing in 1990 and marrying comedian Tom Arnold for four years. Controversy arose when she sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" off-key at a 1990 nationally aired baseball game, followed by grabbing her crotch and spitting.

After her sitcom ended, she launched her own talk show, The Roseanne Show, which aired from 1998 to 2000. In 2005, she returned to stand-up comedy with a world tour. In 2011, she starred in an unscripted TV show, Roseanne's Nuts, that lasted from July to September of that year, about her life on a Hawaiian farm.

In early 2012, Barr announced her candidacy for the Presidential nomination of the Green Party.[2] Barr lost the nomination to Jill Stein.[3] She then sought the presidential nomination of the Peace and Freedom Party, which she won on August 4, 2012.[4] Barr received almost 50,000 votes in the general election, placing sixth overall.[5]

Guest Biography:

William Brown is a molecular biologist based at the Institute for Bioregenesis Research at the University of Hawai’i in Manoa, Honolulu. His mentor, Dr Frederic Mercier, discovered an extracellular matrix protein complex within the brain that he named fractones, after the fractal patterns of the Mandelbrot set. Their research is focused on elucidating the primary role of fractones and other elements of the connective tissue network in creating neural plasticity, tissue architecture, bioregenesis and the stem cell niche. The Institute’s research is focused on the process of development and pattern formation within the organism and how that can be applied to regenerating damaged tissue and organs within humans. Brown conducts directed research into anything that can be considered strange, and he spends most of his time enjoying nature and music and becoming more aware of the inner source that connects each of us to the Infinite.

William's independent research has been focused on investigating the quantum mechanical nature of biological systems, which was largely inspired by the work of Dr. Mae Won Ho and her amazing book The Rainbow and The Worm – the Physics of Organisms. This has coincided to some degree with his academic research as he has been investigating the connective tissue and extracellular matrix, which William quickly realized forms a vast network that connects all 100 trillion cells of the body together in a coherent system capable of nonlocal communication through macroscopic entanglement of quantum superpositions. The most exciting aspect of these new insights is the use of resonant frequencies for modulating biomolecular functions, or what WIlliam calls bioactive frequency modulation. This has the capacity to not only ameliorate all diseases, but to prevent the formation of illness in the first place. It could even be used to reverse or stop the ageing process. The possibilities are very exciting.
