Bio, David Manning

Born in 1963, David was a highly psychic child, hearing voices, and having out of body and mystical experiences from very early in life.  A hugely dysfunctional addict family life and an early and major pattern of sexual abuse were formative experiences in David's life, and he was himself using solvents by the age of eight. 

Conscious spiritual life began at the age of 27, when the voices of his childhood returned. David went on to  study psychic development and spiritual healing for over six years at London's College of Psychic Studies. 

Very quickly he was offering workshops and giving readings and gaining a reputation as a gifted healer and intuitive. His addicted background had not at that stage been resolved, and proved to be a major sticking point for David. The pain and confusion of living as an addict, along side a very deep spiritual calling almost cost him his life. 

Soon after giving up alcohol and drugs in 2000, David was diagnosed with an HIV related liver cancer, which was medically speaking considered to be terminal.  It proved to be a  profound and deeply healing and guided journey, which forced a choice in David's self destructive psyche. The choice he made was to stay on the planet, and within a few weeks of setting the clear intention to live, the cancer had inexplicably disappeared. 

What followed was a deep descent into the shadow that David had avoided for so long. The repressed memories of childhood surfaced, leading to deep healing of old wounds. 

He trained went on to train and work in garden design, but always his major interest was in the mystical worlds. 

Sound has long been a part of David's approach to healing. No formal training in this method has been undertaken. Rather, a Native American shaman on the inner plains, who told David, "I am you in another life", leads healing ceremonies and songs for clients.  The sounds have a profound healing impact on energy fields, patterns of trauma and dis-ease. 

Today, David runs an energy work practice mainly over Skype, distance or location being no bar to the impact of the work. David sees deeply into the stories,  structures and patterns in energy fields and works with sound, and focused intent to help these locked patterns to release. 

He has an ability to weave story, sound and energy together in healing journeys for large groups of people, leading them into deep collective wounds in order to bring release and freedom.  He works as an agent of change for landscapes and collective consciousness, and acts as a genetic initiator, awakening ancient star strands of DNA in individuals and collective fields. 

He has recently become aware that his next phase of work involves the surfacing of deeply submerged  Atlantean memories for the collective, as we awaken to the gifts we used to live.

Full Biography

Sydney Brouillard-Coyle

An empowered, passionate 13-year-old from Windsor, Ontario, Sydney Brouillard-Coyle wants to change the world. And even though she has very publicly stated her intention to become the Prime Minister of Canada in 40 years, she’s by no means waiting to take real action. In fact, she provides an incredible example for youth across the country of how it doesn’t matter what age, size or colour we are – we can make a difference.

Starting at age six, Sydney rallied her church community to make sandwiches for a downtown mission. At the age of nine she not only engaged her school to fundraise for a women’s shelter, but also create a garden in order to grow fresh produce for its kitchen. After inspiring fellow participants at Me to We’s Take Action Camp in 2012, Sydney was invited to speak at We Days all across Canada where she shared the stage with Molly Burke and Marc Kielburger. And that’s where, at the age of 12, she proclaimed to tens of thousands that her dream is to one day occupy the country’s top office.

In the summer of 2013 Sydney travelled to Kenya on a Me to We trip to gain further insights into the life journeys of her peers. She believes deeply that the world can be a better place and enjoys challenging others to light their sparks and make a difference. Sydney’s confidence and commitment are an inspiration to behold – she is a change-maker who proves each day that children are not just the future – they are the present.

HARLAN ELLISON has been called “one of the great living American short story writers” by the Washington Post; and the Los Angeles Times said, “It’s long past time for Harlan Ellison to be awarded the title: 20th Century Lewis Carroll.”

In a career spanning more than 40 years, he has won more awards for the 75 books he has written or edited, the more than 1700 stories, essays, articles, and newspaper columns, the two dozen teleplays and a dozen motion pictures he has created, than any other living fantasist.  He has won the Hugo award 8½ times, the Nebula award three times, the Bram Stoker award, presented by the Horror Writers Association, six times (including The Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996), the Edgar Allan Poe award of the Mystery Writers of America twice, the Georges Méliès fantasy film award twice, two Audie Awards (for the best in audio recordings), and was awarded the Silver Pen for Journalism by P.E.N., the international writer’s union (this prestigious accolade was presented for his columns in the L.A. Weekly, titled “An Edge in My Voice,” in defense of the First Amendment).  After writing the columns for only 29 weeks, he beat out candidates from the L.A. Times, the N.Y. Times, and the Washington Post.  He was presented with the first Living Legend award by the International Horror Critics at the 1995 World Horror Convention.  He is also the only author in Hollywood ever to win the Writers Guild of America award for Most Outstanding teleplay (solo work) four times, most recently for “Paladin of the Lost Hour” his Twilight Zone episode that was Danny Kaye’s final role, in 1987.  In March (1998), the National Women’s Committee of Brandeis University honored him with their 1998 Words, Wit & Wisdom award.

He has drawn attention to the art of writing by performing the remarkable feat of actually creating and writing and completing stories in the windows of bookstores (in Paris, London, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Orleans and elsewhere) in full view of large audiences; stories that have gone on to win major awards and literary prizes.  To gain background for his first novel, dealing with juvenile delinquency, he went under an assumed name and ran with a kid gang in Brooklyn’s dangerous Red Hook section for ten weeks.  He has covered and written about civil rights marches, riots, antiwar demonstrations and other scenes of civil unrest.  His two books of TV essays, THE GLASS TEAT and THE OTHER GLASS TEAT, have sold millions of copies and are currently being taught in media classes in more than 200 American Universities.

Ellison has traveled with rock groups such as The Rolling Stones, and his novel of the scene, SPIDER KISS, is called by music critic Greil Marcus “…the finest novel about the world of rock in the past quarter century.”

In a 1980 landmark lawsuit he sued and beat ABC-TV and Paramount Pictures for $337,000 when they plagiarized a television series he had created.  This was the famous Brillo/Future Cop case.

Among his most recognized works, translated into more than 40 languages and selling in the millions of copies, are DEATHBIRD STORIES, STRANGE WINE, APPROACHING OBLIVION, I HAVE NO MOUTH & I MUST SCREAM, WEB OF THE CITY, LOVE AIN’T NOTHING BUT SEX MISSPELLED, ELLISON WONDERLAND, MEMOS FROM PURGATORY, ALL THE LIES THAT ARE MY LIFE, SHATTERDAY, and STALKING THE NIGHTMARE; and as creative intelligence and editor of the all-time bestselling DANGEROUS VISIONS anthologies and MEDEA: HARLAN’S WORLD, he has been awarded two Special Hugos and the prestigious Milford Award for lifetime Achievement in Editing.

His latest publications include: THE ESSENTIAL ELLISON (Nemo Press, 1987; Morpheus International, 1991), an enormous 1,000+ page, thirty-five year retrospective of his work (this year, THE ESSENTIAL ELLISON has been expanded to reflect a fifty-year career in writing); ANGRY CANDY (Houghton Mifflin, 1988), winner of the 1989 World fantasy award for best Short Story Collection and listed in the ENCYCLOPEDIA AMERICANA ANNUAL as one of the major works of American Literature for 1988; HARLAN ELLISON’S WATCHING (Underwood–Miller, 1988) a compilation of 20 years of film criticism; THE HARLAN ELLISON HORNBOOK (Penzler Books & Mirage Press, 1990); HARLAN ELLISON’S MOVIE (Mirage Press, 1990); DREAMS WITH SHARP TEETH (Book-of-the-Month Club, 1991); MEFISTO IN ONYX (Mark V. Ziesing, 1993); MIND FIELDS (Morpheus, 1994) with Polish artist Jacek Yerka; I, ROBOT: THE ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY (based on Isaac Asimov’s story-cycle; Warner Books, 1994); THE CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER screenplay (Borderlands Press, 1995, and White Wolf, 1996); SLIPPAGE (Mark V. Ziesing, Houghton Mifflin, 1997); and the coffee table edition of “REPENT, HARLEQUIN!” SAID THE TICKTOCKMAN (Underwood Books, 1997) with paintings, rendered by Rick Berry.

May (1996) saw the publication, by White Wolf Publishing, of EDGEWORKS: The Collected Ellison (Vol. #1).  This first of a series of 20 volumes of the collected fiction, essays, teleplays and columns contains the books AN EDGE IN MY VOICE and OVER THE EDGE, with completely revised, updated and expanded manuscripts…the variorum texts!  November (1996) saw the publication of the second EDGEWORKS omnibus, containing the books SPIDER KISS and STALKING THE NIGHTMARE.  In rapid succession White Wolf Publishing also released volumes 3 and 4 of the EDGEWORKS series.

Ellison served as Creative Consultant on the revival of the CBS-TV series The Twilight Zone until late November of 1985, at which time he resigned (to considerable media attention) due to network censorship of a script dealing with racism that he had written and was in the process of directing.  From 1993 until 1998 and the end of the series, Ellison also served as Conceptual Consultant on the popular syndicated hit series Babylon 5.  Recently, Ellison adapted his short story “The Face of Helene Bournouw” for a Showtime cable series. 

“The Human Operators” (based on a short story co-written with A.E. van Vogt), aired early in 1999 as part of the Outer Limits series.

Also a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), Ellison has voiceover credits on many shows including Pirates of Darkwater, Mother Goose & Grimm, Space Cases, Phantom 2040, The Sci-Fi Channel and Babylon 5 (in the episode titled “Ceremonies of Light and Dark” Harlan plays the Voice of the B5 computer, and in the episode “Day of the Dead” you can hear him as “Zooty”).  Ellison’s first TV appearance as a fictional character was also on Babylon 5 in the episode “The Face of the Enemy.”  He played a Psi-Cop opposite Walter Koenig as “Bester.”  His latest acting role was as the mysterious “Grifter” in the series Psi Factor.  Mr. Ellison has also done many Spoken Word recordings (most recently for Audio Literature’s series of recordings; including Mr. Ellison’s short story collection MIDNIGHT IN THE SUNKEN CATHEDRAL) and has received Grammy nominations for his recordings.  For six years, he was the weekly commentator on The USA Network’s Sci-Fi Buzz show.  He continued in the role of weekly commentator for Galaxy Online with his on-screen series Working Without A Net®.

On 30 April 1999, Mr. Ellison won two Audie Awards (presented by the Audio Publishers Association to honor the best in audio recordings) in the categories of Solo Narration, Male, for reading Ben Bova’s CITY OF DARKNESS (published by Dove Audio) and Multi-Voiced Presentation, as part of an all-star cast reading THE TITANIC DISASTER HEARINGS: THE OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF THE 1912 SENATORIAL INVESTIGATION by Tom Kuntz (published by Dove Audio). 

Ellison won a Bram Stoker award for his collection of stories THE VOICE FROM THE EDGE (Volume 1).  A follow-up collection titled, MIDNIGHT IN THE SUNKEN CATHEDRAL, is currently available.  

Mr. Ellison worked as a consultant and host for the radio series 2000X, a series of 26 one-hour dramatized radio adaptations of famous SF stories for The Hollywood Theater of the Ear.  The series was broadcast on National Public Radio (NPR) in 2000 & 2001.  Ellison’s classic story “Repent, Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman” was included as part of this significant series, starring Robin Williams, with the author in the role of Narrator. Harlan Ellison was awarded the Ray Bradbury Award For Drama Series: For Program Host & Creative Consultant: NPR Presentation of 2000X. 

Harlan Ellison can be heard as the voice of the insane god-computer AM in the CD-ROM computer game, the bestselling I HAVE NO MOUTH, AND I MUST SCREAM.  Though Mr. Ellison doesn’t even own a computer, he has amazed the world of electronic entertainment by creating and implementing a cutting edge “ethical scenario” that one reviewer lauded as “…a game that challenges both intelligence and wisdom, and in this longtime gameplayer’s experience, it stands practically alone in the gaming landscape.” Ellison reprised his role as the voice of the evil computer AM in the broadcast adaptation of I HAVE NO MOUTH, AND I MUST SCREAM for the BBC radio series Chillers.

In 1990, Ellison was honored by P.E.N. for his continuing commitment to artistic freedom and the battle against censorship.  He lives with his wife, Susan, inside the Lost Aztec Temple of Mars, in Los Angeles.

Harlan Ellison’s 1992 novelette “The Man Who Rowed Christopher Columbus Ashore” was selected from more than 6,000 short stories published in the U.S. for inclusion in the 1993 edition of THE BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES.

After three years in production, January 1995 saw the debut of Ellison’s own ongoing, monthly comic book from Dark Horse called HARLAN ELLISON’S DREAM CORRIDOR.  In its first year of publication the graphic narrative magazine garnered such overwhelming and unanimous rave reviews—and the original stories Ellison wrote for each issue won so many awards—that in August of 1996 the magazine was re-launched in book-style format, with more pages, as HARLAN ELLISON’S DREAM CORRIDOR QUARTERLY.

“Chatting with Anubis,” an original short story written especially for HARLAN ELLISON’S DREAM CORRIDOR #4, won The Deathrealm Award for The Best Short Fiction of 1995 and the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Short Fiction which was given out by The Horror Writers Association in June 1996.  At the same awards ceremony, Harlan Ellison was also given The Lifetime Achievement Award.  His latest collection, SLIPPAGE, won the 1998 Locus Poll Award as Best Story Collection.

On 22 June 1998, Ellison’s career reached a dizzying summit when he became the answer to a clue in the Double Jeopardy round of that evening’s broadcast of the television game show, Jeopardy.

He is a frequent guest on ABC’s Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher. 

In January 2001, Mr. Ellison signed to develop his award-winning Outer Limits script, DEMON WITH A GLASS HAND, for Miramax’s Dimension Films as a theatrical feature.  He is working with director David Twohy whose previous credits include: THE ARRIVAL, PITCH BLACK, G.I. JANE, and THE FUGITIVE.  Other Ellison works currently in the pipeline for film and TV include: “Along the Scenic Route,” optioned by Paramount Pictures.

Mr. Ellison’s first Young Adult collection, TROUBLEMAKERS: STORIES BY HARLAN ELLISON, was released in November 2001.

And as Tom Snyder said on the CBS Late, Late Show: “An amazing talent; meeting him is an incredible experience.”

“Every man [and woman] I meet is my superior in that I may learn from him [and her]”. - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

In his freshman year of College, Elias Scully discovered his passion.

Instead of studying computer science and following the path that had been designed for him by family and society, he switched majors and decided to study Philosophy. 

The experience of finding his passion prompted him to pursue his love for philosophy in the academy where he stayed on that path for about 10 years.

Among the many questions that captured his attention in his graduate school career was finding out how thoughts affected action.

- What drives people to the make the choices they make?

- What moves them to want to excel?

- Why do some people overcome challenges and some give up?

- What strategies and techniques can one use to better manage their mindset and attitude?

- How can one effectively motivate and inspire oneself to keep going despite personal and financial complications and setbacks?

Elias sought answers for these questions from within the field of philosophy. But he didn’t stop there. He also looked for answers in other fields of thought; reading and studying books from clinical psychotherapy, religious studies and even pop psychology. He also spent time observing and studying the way professionals kept themselves in top mental and physical condition. And in this process, he discovered fundamental principles of thought and action that have allowed him to use his energy consciously and to purposefully direct it toward achieving his personal and professional goals.

Despite the results he experienced and shortly before writing his PhD dissertation, he recognized a deep desire in him to do something different. He knew he had a gift to impact people – to move them to actively direct their lives, change their habits and live their purpose. He also realized that the academy was no longer the right place for him to see the full fruition of this gift.

He began to experience this feeling with greater and greater intensity each day until one day the answer he was looking for was there. So he quit his Ph.D and started a personal development website

On his website, Elias writes articles to help people make conscious decisions in their lives and grow in their personal lives and their businesses. And he uses his own example to demonstrate the effectiveness of his strategies and techniques. He does so by taking on personal development challenges and writes about them on his blog. In fact, he is currently in the last quarter of his 90,000 Words in 90 Days Challenge. In this challenge, Elias has been writing 1000+ words every single day on various topics within the discipline of personal development. And he has been publishing those articles every day since August, 1st 2015.

So tune in to the interview to learn how to take your life to the next level.

Fran Siederer Bio

I’m a sixty something year-old wife of my wonderful husband Marty (34 yrs.), a calligrapher for over 30 years, and mother of three wonderful children – Dave (32), Emily (26) and Ariel (22).

My story is about our second child Emily. My pregnancy and her birth and the months and years of struggle that followed have all been worth every minute of our time, love, effort and positive attitudes. She has grown into an amazing young woman. I mean to speak of the journey we have been on for these 26+ years, especially the pregnancy that I chose to continue with, even though my doctor was not very encouraging.

Love, the support of so many people around the world, positive attitudes, and real efforts to get through, and also help Emily through, difficult times have strengthened both our marriage and our belief in the power of love.

We have been fortunate to have a huge support system – loving family, wonderful friends, and even strangers who heard of our trials during my pregnancy and Emily’s years since. The journey continues.

Emily Siederer Bio

When I was born at 25 weeks, and a very low birth weight, the doctors said I wouldn’t live.

When I did, they said I wouldn’t function properly. I challenged them. They also said I wouldn’t walk. I didn’t walk, I danced.

At age 2 I began ballet, got along with people very easily, did well in dance class. Then reality hit. The “nice girl” was too nice, too much of a pushover.

At age 10 I began puberty, I gained weight and was shunned by all my peers. My friends didn’t want to play with me anymore, shows you how cruel children can be.

I then began to take on different “characters”. At age 12 I was a cheerleader, at age 14 I was a Wiccan, at age 16 I was an anorexic, at 17 I was a bulimic, by age 18 all I was, was an eating disorder. It had taken over, kept me stuck at age 16.

By age 18 (which I don’t even remember most of) I was bingeing, purging, restricting, over-exercising, blacking out when I stood up, and I wasn’t even underweight.

At age 19, I went for help, I went to outpatient treatment. I encouraged others in group therapy. I completed all my meals, but I was not filling out my food journal for my nutritionist. Consequently I was kicked out.

I stayed with my therapist from treatment, who is basically the only reason I am staying in recovery. She believed in me. Sometimes all it takes is that one person who you really connect with to make you believe in yourself.

I am now 26 years old and am at a job I love in fashion, my favorite activities include shopping, watching Netflix, hanging out with my friends, or just cuddling with my dog.

KAYLEE AND THE J’S

Kaylee Robin, Lead Singer of Kaylee and the J’s is a Singer, Songwriter, Model, Artist, Actress, and so much more.

Art has been an enormous part of my entire life. From the moment I could pick up a pencil I was drawing. I’m what you would call a natural artist. Self taught in all forms, and still learning. If I’m not working on a custom ordered piece, I still enjoy playing around in the paint.

Modeling has always been an interest of mine. I got my first camera in elementary school and all that I wanted to do was have photo shoots with my friends. ​I am actually not bad behind the camera as well, but never pursued photography. It was in 2004 when I began to take modeling seriously. I signed up with John Robert Powers school of acting and modeling. That was when I realized I had a great love for acting as well.​ My move to Phoenix , AZ in 2006 is where my real modeling and acting career developed. ​It was here where I ran my first run way and shot my first film. It was a start. My next big move to Los Angeles is where things started heating up. I was able to find representation fairly quickly and after trying out a few I eventually settled with Across the Board Talent Agency (ATB).

I have been a part of a great deal of projects since I began this journey. Not all of them were finished, But here’s to the ones that were and to many more! I intend on expanding and updating my resume more and more. If you feel as though I may be a good asset to an upcoming or current project please contact me.
