Patrick Adrian, Synchro Zone
Are we Prisoners of Karma ?
Is Freedom from Karma Possibile?
Patrick Adrian has written over 40 books, including 15 novels, 24 non‐fiction books and 1 poetry book. Those books are the result of a lifetime spent studying and teaching spiritual knowledge. He continues to work on new ones in which he conveys the knowledge to his readers in a practical way.
Patrick is based in Croatia, Europe. By nature he is a seeker of knowledge and explorer of human potential. His spiritual journey started at the age of 13 and all of his work is based on his own experiences and discoveries. Most of the books are available in Croatian, but also in other languages: Serbian, Slovenian, Hungarian, Ukraine and English.
Patrick is the founder of DA Spiritual Academy where he teaches Integral meditation, conducts a three‐year intensive study of Indian astrology (jyotish), teaches a spiritual dance called NeoDance and runs a number of other seminars and workshops (Hidden Messages, Life‐Death‐Life, Vastu etc.).
He is also the founder of Synchro.zone, a Global Network of intuitive communication, and the humanitarian association The Art of Giving. Patrick is also one of the founders and an honorary president of the Dolphin Dream Society and an initiator of Celestial Labyrinths Project. However, the main focus of his activities, talks and seminars is on explaining and showing the way out of conditioned thinking, programmed behavior and confined living. The spiritual goal, as Patrick sees it, is the remembering and re‐ creating the natural state of absolute freedom of consciousness.

TY BOLLINGER is a happily married husband and fathter, a CPA, health freedom advocate, cancer researcher, former competitive bodybuilder, and author of the best-selling book “Cancer – Step Outside the Box“. After loosing several family members to cancer (including his mother and father), Ty refused to accept the notiion that chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery were the most effective treatments available for cancer patients. He began a quest to learn all he possibly could about alternative cancer treatments and the medical industry. What he uncovered was shocking. There is ample evidence to support the allegation that the “war on cancer” is largely a fraud and that multinational pharmaceutical companies are “running the show”.
In 2006, after almost a decade of cancer research, he published “Cancer – Step Outside the Box” which (now in its 5th edition) has become a best-seller (over 100,000 copies sold) and has been called the “most eye-opening book since 1984″. Ty has now made it his life mission to share the most remarkable discovery he made on his quest: the vast majority of all diseases (including cancer) can be easily prevented and even cured without drugs or surgery. Speaking from personal experience and extensive research, Ty has touched the hearts and changed the lives of thousands of people around the world.
In 2011, Ty collaborated with his colleague, Dr. Michael Farley, to edit and publish a revolutionary book on medicinal herbs entitled, “A Guide to Understanding Herbal Medicines and Surving the Coming Pharmaceutical Monopoly“. This book is destined to become a favorite reference for experienced herbalists and natural health newcomers alike. Drawing on over three decades of personal experience, obesrvation and research of Dr. Michael Farley, the book provides a refreshing and enlightening yet simple to understand guide on the medicinal uses of natural herbs. The book simplifies and demystifies herbal medicine and puts it back within the grasp of all who want to reclaim some control over their health options.
Ty speaks frequently to health groups, at seminars, conferences, churches, and is a regular guest on multiple radio shows and writes for numerous magazines and websites.
MERLIN L. MILLER was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa, and graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. He served several years in the U.S. Army where he commanded two units and then worked as an Industrial Engineering Manager for Michelin Tire Company. In 1983, he was accepted into the University of Southern California’s “Peter Stark Motion Picture Producing Program,” graduating in 1985 with an MFA degree in Cinema/Television. He subsequently became an independent screenwriter, motion picture producer/director, and instructor.
Merlin’s award winning films include; “A Place to Grow” starring Gary Morris, Tracy Kristofferson, John Beck and Wilford Brimley, and “Jericho” starring Mark Valley, Leon Coffee, Lisa Stewart, R. Lee Ermey and Buck Taylor.
His vision is to build a viable and far-reaching alternative to Hollywood…one that can help shape a more positive destiny for the marginalized, yet traditionally valued American majority. In recent years, Merlin wrote a historical treatise, “The American Dream”, and published several articles, connecting military, political and media intrigues.
In 2007/8, Merlin became politically active – in support of Ron Paul’s Presidential campaign. In 2012, he was recruited by a small independent political party to be their Presidential candidate. During the course of campaigning, Merlin appeared in numerous radio, television and print interviews, wrote “Our Vision for America”, and visited Iran – meeting with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Merlin plans to produce “False Flag”, a critically important motion picture, and help build a coalition of nationalist, populist, and patriot organizations. United, this coalition could end pervasive political corruption, and help restore America’s traditional goodness – as a freedom-based, constitutional republic. This political effort has led to formation in 2015 of the American Eagle Party – “We the People” Restoring our Republic”.
He has been married for 40 years to Susan, and they have 4 grown daughters, three of whom also graduated from West Point and are currently serving in the U.S. Army. (L: Merlin with former Congressman and “father of the Tea Party”, Dr. Ron Paul, during the 2008 Rally to Restore the Republic.)
Bradley Kohn has been active as a musician, songwriter and producer from a very young age. He started play the piano at 6 years old, was writing songs at 9 and first recorded one of his songs in a professional recording studio at only 10, where he was co-produced by Mike Moran (Freddie Mercury, George Harrison, David Bowie) and Pete Van Hooke (Van Morrison, Live From Abbey Road, Paul Carrack).
Spurred on by such incredible experiences he started experimenting with a four track recorder as a way to catalogue his compositions. By the age of 16 he was fronting a rock band (as both lead singer and rhythm guitarist) that played regularly on the London circuit. Bradley was now rapidly gaining valuable musical knowledge. Not one to rest on his laurels he kept himself active by promoting and arranging shows for himself and others proving his skills in many areas of music.
Having successfully finished his A-levels Bradley went on to study at the Academy of Contemporary Music where he received a HND with honours.
Determined to work in music, the next few years saw Bradley test his skills in various musical arenas. This included being booked as a pianist, singer, guitarist and percussionist for private, public and televised events in Europe, producing drum tracks for ITV, writing songs for European artists including Spanish TV show (Generación OT: En concierto) winner and pop star Beth Rodergas, organising and promoting the Session All Star events in London’s Covent Garden, Chelsea and Soho and running his own music studio – Home Farm Studios.
“A unique talent”
– Peter Van Hooke
This became his base for almost a decade which lead him to become a multi-platinum awarded producer, writer, artist and engineer, working with scores of bands and artists, scored and music supervised award winning films and completed work for The BBC, Discovery and The Royal Ballett among others. In 2009 he became an in house producer for EMI working out of Abbey Road Studios and The Roundhouse. In 2014 he moved to Los Angeles, where he has already worked at East West, Ocean Way, The Village, NRG, New West Records, Fonogenic Studios, Nightbird Studios (The Sunset Marquis) and Remote Control Productions (Hans Zimmer), as well as performed on local radio shows and at venues such as The House of Blues, Soho House and RG Club.

ETHAN ZOHN
ETHAN ZOHN is a former professional soccer player, cancer survivor, winner of the hit reality television show Survivor Africa and co-founder of Grassroot Soccer. As demonstrated by his charitable work, volunteerism, and community involvement, Ethan believes that a better and healthier world can be achieved through education, advocacy and inspiration.
CO-FOUNDER, GRASSROOT SOCCER
With the $1 million prize money that he secured in winning the 2002 Survivor: Africa, Ethan co-founded Grassroot Soccer (GRS), a nonprofit organization that uses the power of soccer to strengthen communities and empower young people to stop the spread of HIV. Since 2002, GRS has graduated over 700,000 from its tailored, soccer-based HIV prevention-curriculum. GRS now directly implements programs throughout Southern Africa and partners with organizations to implement its curriculum in over 40 countries around the world. Ethan has contributed to GRS’ ability to develop a strong donor network, including Nike, the Gates Foundation, USAID, FIFA, Elton John AIDS Foundation, Barclays, Peace Corps and the MAC AIDS Fund. In the summer of 2010, Ethan and Grassroot Soccer teamed up with the (RED) Campaign to bring Soccer Skillz Camps to children in South Africa during the highly publicized and watched 2010 FIFA World Cup.
In August 2008, Ethan officially launched the Grassroot Soccer UNITED campaign, an international, youth-led movement to end HIV/AIDS in Africa, by embarking on a world-record-breaking 550-mile journey on foot, from Boston, MA, to Washington, D.C. – dribbling a soccer ball the entire route. Ethan also spearheaded the creation of the GRS Endurance Team which has enabled over 250 athletes to compete in the NY, Boston and LA Marathons and raising over $2,000,000. Ethan himself has competed in marathons on behalf of GRS, including running the 2010 and 2011 New York City Marathons, despite being diagnosed and undergoing treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He later captained the GRS Team and ran 2012 Los Angeles and Boston Marathons.
GLOBAL SPOKESPERSON, STAND UP 2 CANCER
In April 2009, Ethan was diagnosed with CD 20+ Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. After multiple rounds of chemotherapy and an autologous stem cell transplant, Ethan learned that his cancer had returned. Thanks to the dedication of a team of doctors, Ethan underwent a course of experimental treatment and received a second stem cell transplant, this time from his brother. Throughout his battle with cancer, Ethan served as a National Ambassador for Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), and has since harnessed his industry connections in television to create SURVIVOR SU2C, through which donations are made to cancer research through the popular television show, Survivor.
In the fall of 2011, after 20 months of being in remission, Zohn was told his cancer had returned. He quickly and without hesitation persevered, using his platform to continue to be “the megaphone” for the young adult generation battling cancer. He engaged with his fans through autobiographical short on People Magazine’s People.com. Through an in-depth video web series, Ethan opened up about his fight against cancer, showing the raw truthfulness behind this disease – the humor, the fear, the doctors, hospitals, etc. Since 2011, Ethan has been a guest writer for the Huffington Post and penned a blog for EverydayHealth.com called the “The Zohn Zone” about life after cancer. Today, he continues to use his celebrity to educate others about cancer research and advocacy across the country. Ethan is also a Global Envoy for The LIVESTRONG Foundation and is a national spokesperson for the Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

GUESTS: ALLYSON PHELAN-EAGAN
ALLYSON PHELAN-EAGAN
Originally from Vancouver BC, I was awarded a scholarship to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Paul Rudd and I went through the program together and am proud to say that we graduated in the same class.
Dance
My first love was dance. I have been a dancer my whole life and performed with a Vancouver based company until I decided to make my way to the land of “dreams come true”. My love for dance kept me in one studio or another teaching classes and choreographing students ranging from 3 years to adult. Dance is my soul.
Modeling
I won the FRESH LOOK CANADA 1980 modeling contest and was then recruited by a prestigious Vancouver based modeling agency. This led to the film and television world where I began building my resume. One of my first times on set was in a scene with Johnny Depp when he had a show called 21 Jump Street which filmed in Vancouver.
Pageants
My pageant career was intense. I won several titles and loved the hard work that went into presenting my best self. Representing my city, province, country meant a great deal to me and I did my very best to be an outstanding citizen and virtuous role model to all. My first and most memorable title was Miss Teen Vancouver which landed me a trip to Toronto where I competed in the Miss Teen Canada Contest. The next most prominent title was Miss Canada Runner Up. I am still very proud of these titles which allowed me to contribute to the community in so many beneficial ways for many years.
National CFL Cheerleader/Sports Dancer
The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders were very popular at this time in my life. One of my aspirations was to represent our national team, The BC Lions as a cheerleader/sports dancer. After a long day of grueling auditions I was ecstatic to be one of the few chosen out of hundreds of dancers who showed up for tryouts. There were only a few spots in the line that were open and I really wanted one. I succeeded, was the youngest dancer ever on the team and probably the most joyous as well.
University of British Columbia
I attended UBC, University of British Columbia but all I could think about was being accepted to a school like. FAME. I did my research, auditioned for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (LA/NYC) was awarded a scholarship and packed my bags for Los Angeles.
After graduating from the American Academy I was cast in a film called Barbarians at the Gate. This was an HBO film starring James Garner and Jonathon Price. It was my first audition out of school and thought to myself… wow this is easier than I thought!
I continued with the journey by pounding the pavement: Student films, endless performances in plays all over the city, making the casting rounds, go to acting class 4 nights a week, attending workshops, theatre sports, networking, earned my SAG card, etc, …. doing everything possible in my power to achieve success.
As luck would have it, I met a wonderful fellow thespian with whom I co-wrote a sitcom and shopped it. Not getting the reaction we wanted, we decided to take a producer class at UCLA extension with Howard Storm. He told us to write about what you know… what you are good at. My partner and I were both full of enthusiasm and lots of fun so we decided to write a show about Nightlife. We filmed in LA and Las Vegas and planned on taking it across the globe.
We started with the basics. A pitch. We did not just do any pitch, we did a performance pitch. We wore costumes, choreographed a 2 minute routine and actually performed for our potential investors in their offices!!!
KTLA/WB was interested but they wanted to see a pilot. We raised $15,000.00 in one week, hired a production company and filmed two months later on New Year’s Eve. Our very first interview was with Paul Oakenfold, starting at the top with the biggest DJ in the world. Literally.
KTLA picked up our show which was called CLUBBIN’. It ran for two seasons and had top ratings, only second
to The Jimmy Kimmel Show.
Then this happened… Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson had that wardrobe faux pas at the Super Bowl half time show and everything changed for KTLA and Tribune. We had already shot a whole new season and it was in the can which unfortunately is where it stayed. The FCC was coming down hard and KTLA’s lawyers were not in favor of another of season of Clubbin’.
As one door closed another opened. A new company called nowlive.com was looking for content for their TV Web channel and they loved Clubbin’. We were on air, live, for two hours once a week for two years. We hosted in studio guests, had chatters, callers and a very loyal following. This interactive concept which combined so many forms of media into one made for an extremely exhilarating experience.
This lead to covering red carpet events, music festivals, food and wine shows, etc… LIVE on location.
CBS LA approached me about writing for cbsla.com under the pen name SHARLA. Currently I still write for them about LA hot spots and entertainment.
Within this time frame I wrote a spinoff of Clubbin’ called GIRLZ WEEKEND. I filmed the pilot in Las Vegas and had just secured an investor to fund this show when I was diagnosed with Stage 3 colo-rectal cancer.
All bets were off.
Now here I am… on the other side and am ever so passionate about giving back through information, information and insight.
Below you will find clips of my work from Clubbin’ to Cancer and everything in between.
With all the love and strength in my heart, I thank you. Allyson Phelan-Eagan

GUEST: DR. ROXANNE MOSCHETTI
Dr. Roxanne Moschetti was born in Northern California in the late 70’s. She was the oldest of three and served as a segregate parent to her younger sister and brother from the time they were born. Due to extensive neglect during her childhood, education was not a priority for her. Homelessness, frequent relocation, and family instability led to failing grades in school. At the age of 13, Roxanne had attended seven different schools and carried a .87 GPA. In an out of shelters and foster care, Roxanne and her siblings were finally removed from their mothers care when she was 13. Roxanne knew at that point that she never again wanted to experience the stress and pandemonium that her family had endured over the past 13 years. With this in mind, she started to look at her childhood as a learning experience rather than a hardship. Experiencing these situations helped her recognize the importance of early prevention and assistance for families that struggle with poverty and addiction.
At the age of 17, Roxanne set out to be the first in my family to attend college and enrolled in classes at Shasta Community College. She later transferred into California State University, Chico where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. While in college she took over legal guardianship of her younger and sister and brother who would remain living with her until she later applied to graduate school. Against all odds, Roxanne eventually received her Ph.D. and Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development from University of California, Santa Barbara. She began teaching as an Assistant Professor at California State University, Northridge in 2008. Her current research focuses on the impact of social networks on underrepresented impoverished college students experiences. Roxanne spends her free time volunteering with homeless youth in the community and is currently writing a memoir about her personal experiences from growing up homeless to eventually earning her Ph.D.
Meir Schneider, Ph.D., L.M.T.
Natural Vision Improvement ,Learn a New Way of Being in the World !
Meir Schneider was born with cataracts, glaucoma, astigmatism, and nystagmus. After five unsuccessful surgeries on the lenses of his eyes, which left them shattered and filled with scar tissue, doctors pronounced was certified legally blind. Schneider performed his reading and schoolwork in Braille.
At age 17, Meir learned the Bates Method of eye exercises. He practiced them diligently, up to 13 hours a day, undeterred by the skepticism of family and friends. To this he added his own regimen of self-massage and movement. Within six months, he could recognize visual objects for the first time; within 18 months, he could read print without glasses. His vision continued to improve, and today is 20/80. He holds a current unrestricted California driver's license.
During Schneider’s recovery process, while still a teenager, Meir began to help others with a wide range of degenerative conditions, such as polio, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis. He found that the same principles which enabled him to gain functional eyesight could be applied to the entire body. His discoveries led to the creation of the Meir Schneider Method of Self-Healing through Bodywork and Movement, helping tens of thousands of people with serious physical and visual conditions worldwide.
An internationally respected therapist and educator, Meir is the founder and director of the School for Self-Healing in San Francisco, the author of The Natural Vision Improvement Kit, Movement for Self-Healing, Yoga for Your Eyes, Meir Schneider's Miracle Eyesight Method, Self-Healing: My Life and Vision and the principal author of The Handbook of Self-Healing. He was awarded a PhD in the Healing Arts for his work with muscular dystrophy.
Klaus Heyne has crafted the recorded sound of cultural icons such as Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, and Lenny Kravitz, as well as that of legendary film studios and scoring stages—Lucasfilm, Paramount Studios and Disney, among others. The sound of many of the world's finest vintage microphones by Neumann, AKG, and others—a sound still unsurpassed by current technologies—continues to flourish in the 21st century largely thanks to Klaus Heyne's efforts.
In the year 2000, he partnered with Dirk Brauner to create a limited edition set of 100 recording microphones—the VM-1 Klaus Heyne Edition—the single most expensive microphone ever issued; the model has since doubled in price.
Born in Berlin, Klaus studied law in Frankfurt and apprenticed as a luthier. In the 1970's, he emigrated to the U.S., settling in San Francisco. From guitar repairman, and later, owner of a luthier shop in the S.F. Bay Area through the early 1980's, he became an importer of vintage German tube mics to the U.S. Since 1987, he has specialized in the repair, restoration and upgrade of fine European recording microphones for studios, producers, artists, voice talent, and film production companies. Klaus has expanded his services to vintage microphone authentication and investment consultation. In 1991, Klaus relocated to the Columbia Gorge, Oregon.
He is currently writing "The Vintage Microphone Handbook", a guidebook for acquiring and preserving vintage microphones—a long awaited publication. Klaus moderates a world-renowned online forum on Prosound Web. A link can be found here.

MIKE PALECEK lives in Sheldon, Iowa with his family. He works at a group home. He has been a federal prisoner for peace. He met Fr. Dan Berrigan while in the Catholic seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. Berrigan told him things about America and the Catholic Church that changed Mike's life. So, Mike went to jail, went crazy, went home, like that.
And Mike has worked as a reporter, editor, publisher on small-town newspapers in Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota. The small newspaper Mike & Ruth owned and operated in southeast Minnesota won the Minnesota Newspaper of the Year Award from the MNA in 1994, and went out of business later that year. Mike was the Iowa Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000. He received 65,000 votes in a conservative district on an anti-military, anti-prison, pro-immigration platform, even after endorsing Ralph Nader over Al Gore.
One thing you might not know about Mike Palecek: He once spent an overnight in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary and did not like it.
