She deserves all the applause she currently gets.

She is a fully qualified, accredited trainer who provides training and mentoring to students around the world.

Tríona now works all over the world with one-to-one services, group training and retreats. Triona spent years studying and working in past life regressions to transform trauma. She specializes in people’s awakening and consciousness.

“Sometimes the most difficult thing people struggle with is their own self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-empowerment. By removing blocks, they access their higher self-guidance and knowledge, to truly know who they are at a soul level. Through the various modalities I offer, this is what I hope to give to you. Aswell as  regular mastaclasses, worships and courses and events.”

Earlier life and career
When Triona looks back at her earliest experiences, she recalls being aware of being something different. Indeed, she was often described as being ‘sensitive’. Staring at the stars, fascinated with how the mind worked even at the tender age of 4. Willing objects to move.

“I was terrified of the dark from as early as I can remember, sensing the presence of something else in my awareness”, she explains.

On leaving school, Triona initially thought her working life would be in the Pure Sciences. However, she soon found her interests lay in Computer Science in Dublin. She worked as a successful IT manager for Irish Ryanair Hotels and Dell for 13 years.

Life took a dramatic turn when Triona became sick during her second pregnancy and she suffered acute renal failure.

During this time, Triona suffered ‘several’ near-death experiences and long hospital stays. It was not an easy road, but she remained focused and determined to achieve the milestones she had set for the journey ahead.

In those early days of recovery, Triona began to feel she could, at last, plan that healthy future with her husband Barry and her children.  Unfortunately tragedy struck with the sudden death of her husband Barry.

‘This was a completely shocking and shattering experience. It cracked me wide open. I went through a profound Spiritual awakening. It’s what I call my full awakening, with all the physical and emotional changes that went with that. I started seeing, feeling and smelling so much clearer across what some people call ‘the Veil’, (Clairvoyance, Clair-sentience & Clairalience). It was a turning point for me to dedicate my life to the exploration of the afterlife and healing’

Unfathomable knowledge
The senses and abilities she had been aware of as a child, opened up. Through her immense grief, there came an understanding that through that tragedy, there was love. Love continues after death and in spirit realms.

‘I had a thirst for knowledge about the afterlife, spiritual philosophies, consciousness, metaphysics and meditation, mediumship and channeling. I wanted to get a wider understanding of the incarnate and discarnate soul and its consciousness, and life in and between the afterlife. This led me to research and study so many modalities and I soon found I had an aptitude to work in trance states, using hypnosis and channeling and regression to obtain information and clarity on the soul. Naturally, this led me to ponder life’s big questions such as Why are we here?’

Trained to the highest standard in the world, Tríona passes this knowledge onto others and offers various certified training in past life practitioner and healing.

Cindy began hearing the Collective in early 2009, when she sat down with her laptop to write a magazine article. Those conversations continue daily, although they did not name themselves ‘Josef’ until 2017.

Beginning in 2014, they revealed themselves as ‘Abraham’, channeled by Esther Hicks.  They explained, together, they would be part of the continuation of the expansion of the Abraham message.

In early 2017, during a session with Paul Selig, Cindy was relaying to Paul what she was experiencing with Abraham. He said, “I don’t think that’s how it works, but let’s go to the Guides.” They quickly responded, “There is a group who is trying to teach through her. She must ask for a name.”

Later that evening, during her daily conversation with them, asking for clarity of the session with Paul, Esther’s face appeared suddenly and clearly, in front of her, and as she was saying, to herself, “why am I seeing Esther?” They replied, “You are seeing the lovely Esther because we don’t have a face yet. We will reveal our name at the right time. We are Abraham.”

Two days later, she saw in front of her, a succession of towing planes like you see at the beach, towing advertising banners behind them. As she focused, she saw the first banner that read, “Seth”; the second banner read, “Abraham” and the third was blank. In that moment, they said,’That’s Us.” She understood then that this group was part of the evolving consciousness of Seth and Abraham and the name would come when they were ready, and it did. Later that year, they sent her to write the first book of the Allow Your Soul to Lead series, and when they signed the Welcome letter, she wrote, “We are Josef.”

Prior to 2009, Cindy spent 35 years in creative advertising and marketing. She was raised Catholic in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York and currently lives outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

She is called the “Georgia Gypsy” back home. Up-and-coming country artist Ashley Brooks, hailing from the North Georgia mountains, has been making waves with her distinctive country sound, powerful lyrics, and high-energy performances filled with attitude. Known as a the wild, barefoot, and fishing songwriter from North Georgia, Ashley Brooks is set to captivate audiences with her authentic charm. 

In the past year, Ashley Brooks has demonstrated her talent in over 60 performances in the South and has had the privilege of opening for acclaimed Nashville artists such as Confederate Rail Road, Billy Droze, Gary Nichols, The Oak Ridge Boys and Aaron Tippin. Ashley frequently travels from the Bible Belt of Georgia back to Nashville to collaborate with fellow songwriters and artists, showcasing her dedication to her craft and passion for music.

Having never even seen Waikiki, Jim “Kimo” West came right to the tiny village of Hana, Maui in 1985 and spent much of his time there for many years. It was in Hana where he first heard the music of Gabby Pahinui, Sons of Hawaii, Sonny Chillingworth, and Atta Isaacs. Already familiar with alternate tunings, the sound of ki ho’alu became rooted deep in his musical landscape.

Kimo is regarded as one of the world’s foremost “ki ho’alu” or Hawaiian “slack key” guitar artists and his music has garnered over seventy-five million spins on streaming services. He is a 2021 Grammy Winner for his recent CD, “More Guitar Stories” and a 2019 Grammy nominee for “Moku Maluhia-Peaceful Island”. He is also a 2008 winner of the Hawaii Music Awards and four-time Na Hoku Hanohano (the Hawaiian ‘Grammy’) nominee. He is also a two-time winner of the LA Treasures Award for his efforts in keeping this important acoustic guitar tradition alive. This warm and engaging fingerpicked guitar style has its roots in 1840’s Hawaii, when Mexican vaqueros first brought guitars to the Big Island of Hawaii. If you saw the Oscar-winning film, “The Decendants” you have experienced this great acoustic guitar tradition.
Kimo is a veteran of Hawaii’s famed slack key festivals as well as the So Cal Slack Key Festival every year from 2008 through 2018. He has shared the stage with almost all the world’s top slack key players at one time or another.

His numerous CDs feature many original compositions as well as inventive arrangements of the genres’ classic repertoire. His seventh CD, “Guitar Stories” goes beyond slack key, exploring other genres like West African guitar, Middle Eastern Music, and Americana. “Slackers In Paradise” features duets with slack and steel guitar legend, Ken Emerson, and his latest CD, “Moku Maluhia-Peaceful Island” is a mix of “nahenahe” or very relaxing compositions.

For his work as long-time guitarist with “Weird Al,” he has earned four Grammy’s and a Billboard #1 CD debut for 2015’s “Mandatory Fun.”

Kimo has also worked as a composer for film and TV for many years and maintains a sophisticated private studio in Los Angeles. He has composed music for features films, network TV shows and specials and cable shows. His slack key compositions have been used in many feature films, TV spots, and documentaries.

Scott Bertrand, chiropractor and the inventor of the AllCore360° System, has endured two separate core injuries that required intensive rehabilitation. His first accident occurred as a member of the 101st Airborne when a skydiving accident resulted in a fractured lower back. Scott found physical therapy to be so excruciatingly painful that he chose to discontinue the treatments and was labeled as a noncompliant patient. Twenty years later, Scott suffered a second debilitating injury; this time the fracture was to his neck. He found the physical therapy regimen to be the same and still excruciatingly painful. That’s when he made a decision to develop a better way to train and rehabilitate the core. The AllCore360° Core Therapy and Training System is the culmination of that journey. With over three years of refinement and documented results from thousands of client treatments, we are bringing the AllCore360° Core Therapy and Training System to the masses.

Josh Horwitz is currently a Distinguished Professor of the Practice at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Horwitz works to reduce gun violence by utilizing public health research and health equity analysis to build advocacy campaigns that meet critical opportunities in the policy development process.
 

The team at the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions includes highly experienced researchers and public health-trained advocates to address gun violence as an epidemic-level public health emergency. Because gun violence disproportionately impacts communities of color, they ground their work in equity and seek insights from those most impacted on appropriate solutions. This approach combines evidence-based solutions and effective advocacy to save lives.

Josh earned a BA at the University of Michigan in 1985 and a JD at the George Washington University in 1988.
