Guest Occupation: Folk Singer-Songwriter, Energy Healer, Sound Healer
Guest Biography:

Gloria Taylor is a San Diego-based folk singer-songwriter and energy and sound healer. In 2022, she released her critically acclaimed EP, “Sun,” which music critic Jeff Gemmill of The Old Grey Cat called “a meditative wonder.” The EP was nominated for a San Diego Music Award in the category of Best Folk/Acoustic Album and also received praise from noted folk and country website Americana UK, as well as Indie Boulevard. “Sun” followed her previous album, 2018’s “Go for the Moon,” and 2020’s single, “Decision.”

The five songs on “Sun” were inspired by Taylor’s experience as a sound and energy healer during the pandemic. In summer 2021, she volunteered her time doing remote sound-healing sessions on Zoom for those fighting COVID and impacted by the virus. Their stories of surrender and sometimes bittersweet triumphs heavily influenced the music on the EP. Taylor was recording her follow-up album to “Go for the Moon” when she felt compelled to pivot and record “Sun” instead.

“I wanted to capture the feeling of the moment as I witnessed people working through so many emotions — hope, fear and perseverance,” she said. “These songs mostly wrote themselves and had quite a different feel from the ones I was recording for my follow-up album. So, I postponed my album to record these first. There was an urgency and potency to these songs, and they insisted they get completed and released before my other projects.”

Taylor is also a regular sound healer and performer at Palomar UUF and The Soul of Yoga, one of San Diego County’s most popular yoga studios. Last year, she joined Swirl of Sound, a San Diego sound-healing collective, where her vocal toning and sacred chants accompany singing bowls, gongs, didgeridoos and a medley of other world instruments. She uses a combination of vocal expression and improvisation to add dimension and depth to the sound bath.

In 2021, Taylor composed the music for 35th Annual Congress on Illumination, a global virtual conference hosted by internationally renowned spiritual teacher and author Patricia Cota-Robles.

Outside of music, Taylor is an energy healer with 20-plus years experience and has a private practice.

Guest Occupation: Trailblazer for Transformational Change, Author, Consultant, Workshop Leader, Coach, Speaker
Guest Biography:

Julie Wignall is living proof of the power of unconventional choices, showing there are many paths that lead to happiness and success. At just 14, she left high school to attend an experimental alternative school in the 1970s, a daring decision that foreshadowed her trailblazing approach to life and work.  While many doubted her path, Julie defied expectations, carving out an extraordinary career spanning national politics, international business, the arts, environmental conservation, and visionary leadership.

Julie began her professional journey in the halls of power, working on two U.S. presidential campaigns and serving on the legislative staff of a congressman. She then worked in international business, building relationships with over 42 embassies in Washington, D.C., as well as serving as a company representative in Greece. Her creative spirit led her to the theater, where she explored both on-stage and off-stage roles, as well as the use of improvisational theater as a tool for social change.

A career break teaching snorkeling in Mexico became a turning point in Julie’s journey. Immersed in the natural beauty of the ocean, she connected deeply with the rhythms of marine life and the interdependence of humans and nature. This passion inspired her to study marine biology in Australia, and eventually brought her back to the U.S., where she became Director of Programs at the National Aquarium in Washington, D.C. As she collaborated with leading institutions like the Smithsonian and the National Zoo, and conservation organizations, she became acutely aware of two common threads that seemed to bind everyone together. First, it was always fundraising time, and as soon as one fundraising campaign was over, it was time to work on the next. Second, everyone had a mutual disdain for greedy corporations that seemed to have all the money everyone else was lacking.

Julie’s innovative thinking and ability to ask bold questions—like whether corporations could become allies rather than enemies in conservation—paved the way for her groundbreaking work at The Mirage in Las Vegas. Invited by corporate magnate Steve Wynn, who was on a mission to transform the city, Julie became one of the first women in history to design and operate a world-class marine animal facility which later included the Secret Garden of Siegfried & Roy. As a corporate executive, Julie was able to guide The Mirage in the implementation of numerous environmental and community-based initiatives—setting new precedents for aquariums, zoos, and resorts worldwide.  Her work extended beyond corporate boundaries, influencing animal protection legislation and coral reef conservation programs on a global scale. Julie’s ability to bridge the worlds of environmentalism and corporate leadership earned her international acclaim and solidified her reputation as a visionary changemaker.

After leaving The Mirage, Julie created and hosted two PBS television series that have been internationally distributed.  As she traveled, interviewing fascinating individuals, Julie realized she’d encountered many remarkable people throughout her life and career who, like her, had forged unconventional paths to create meaningful change. Julie coined the term “Fireflies” to describe these visionaries: people who see beyond what is and take action to create a better reality.

A lifelong student of Jungian psychology, metaphysics, quantum physics, and esoteric philosophy, Julie sought to uncover the common threads that drive these individuals’ success. Her findings culminated in her multi-award-winning book, The Extraordinary Power of Fireflies: How to Shine Your Light Brighter and Transform the World. The book blends inspiring stories and highlights Fireflies around the world while providing practical tools to help readers reconnect with their purpose and amplify their impact.

Today, Julie Wignall is a sought-after consultant, workshop leader, coach, and speaker, empowering leaders, visionaries, and change-makers to embrace their unique abilities and drive transformational change. Whether speaking about leadership or the intersection of personal growth and global impact, Julie captivates audiences with her rich storytelling, thought-provoking insights, and unwavering optimism about what is possible when individuals harness their light to transform the world.

His rich portfolio further extends to performances with soul music royalty Aretha Franklin, Seth MacFarlane — the brain behind Family Guy, the legendary Frankie Valli, and Noel Gallagher from Oasis.

A proud alumnus of the Berklee College of Music, where he honed his skills under the guidance of trombone maestros including the illustrious Phil Wilson, Paul’s journey came full circle when he reunited with Wilson to craft a successful video series, a project he cherishes dearly. This reunion bore the genesis of “Bone Masters,” a pioneering internet show helmed by Paul, wherein he engages with living legends of the trombone world, orchestrating masterclasses and interviews, thereby creating the most expansive educational video library dedicated to the trombone.

Paul’s live performances are a league of their own, innovatively blending trombone with technology to forge sounds traversing Jazz, Pop, Hip-Hop, and Electronic genres. Leveraging modern technology and keyboards coupled with trombone improvisations, he crafts a transcendental musical experience.

Guest Occupation: Netherland’s Taoist Therapist Master & Author
Guest Biography:

For 27 years I have been helping people in service professions who feel like they are never good enough and never get the appreciation they deserve. I help them regain their self-esteem, build their self-confidence and unlearn their fear and worry.

I do this by means of a holistic method that I developed myself in 1997 after a seven-year training with a Taoist teacher. This method distinguishes itself by a combined physical/mental treatment, which is still relatively unknown in the rest of the world, but has proven to be very successful for 26 years.

Here life processes are explained and one gains insight into what happens in his or her life, which unconsciously learned behavior is the cause of this and how you can easily solve this. It does not take any conscious effort to bring about this change, because this change takes place in the subconscious and is therefore automatically integrated into daily life. 97% of my clients are permanently freed from their complaints during the treatments.

This makes life much simpler, more organized and happier.

Guest Occupation: Indie-Folk Musician, Sea Captain
Guest Biography:

Noah Solt is an Indie-Folk musician and sea captain whose music navigates the tension and release found in a journey of return. Through gentle, hymn-like melodies, poetic lyrics, and warm acoustic textures, his songs invite listeners to pause and reconnect with their inner luminosity.

Solt’s artistic path has been one of bold exploration and intentional reduction—distilling his work into a more intimate form. While growing up in the Rocky Mountains, Solt’s parents instilled a deep appreciation for simplicity, a clear mind, and a curiosity for the world.

After spending a year at Berklee College of Music, Solt decided to leave and pursue his lifelong dream of sailing worldwide. Yet it wasn’t until he returned from three years at sea that he fully understood how transformative that decision had been. The vast, mysterious, and indifferent sea had not only catalyzed an outward journey for Solt but an inward journey as well. Its raw presence had washed away distraction and allowed him to focus on what mattered. In that deeply personal space, Solt discovered that self-knowledge is life’s greatest treasure–a realization that continues to shape his music today.

Solt’s first album, Big Water, was recorded at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and had a bold sound that reflected that chapter in his life. Yet, much like his experience at sea, Solt has since felt called to reduce his music to a more personal space of less sound and deeper resonance. His evolving style moves toward ethereal folk, though he continues to explore and refine this emerging direction.


Now anchored in San Francisco, Solt lives aboard his sailboat. The city’s vibrant creative energy and diverse culture fuel his artistic growth. His upcoming album, The Flight of Fallen Leaves, deepens this evolution. Blending poetic songwriting with the quiet wisdom gained from life at sea, Solt’s music reminds us that every step—no matter how uncertain—is part of a journey back home toward who we already are.

Solt’s unique background as a musician and sailor infuses his work with a rare depth and authenticity. His experiences sailing the world’s oceans have given him time to reflect on what really matters to him, creating an introspective and expansive sound. Solt’s performances, whether intimate house concerts or larger venue shows are known for creating a pause where audiences can find a moment to reflect on what matters to them.
