Jennifer Beaman Pippin, FAIBD, CPBD, CGP owner of Pippin Home Designs, Inc., is a nationally acclaimed Residential Design Specialist and a recognized expert in sustainable and green building practices, with a focus on creating new homes and renovation projects. Pippin owns a green home and studio, which has been open for tours, as a teaching resource on living sustainably.
She goes by ‘Jenny’ or ‘Pippin’ and grew up in eastern NC on a working tobacco farm, working in the field with her family from the time she could walk until she got her driver’s license and could get a ‘real’ job. She cropped tobacco, drove the tractor’s and loaded and unloaded the barns, even going on Saturday mornings to the warehouse with her uncle and cousin to assist her uncle, the auctioneer, in marking the sold bales of tobacco for $2.00/day. Her first real job was as a stock room clerk for a children’s clothing store, unpacking tagging and putting new merchandise on the floor during the week and cleaning the store on the weekends. After graduation from High School, she worked as a waitress at a Pizza Hut, then a Steakhouse in Raleigh for a couple of years, to put herself through college, first at NSCU for a couple of semesters, then on to Wake Technical College, where she received her degree in Architectural Technology. All the while working to support herself and an abusive alcoholic mostly unemployed husband, who was her high school ‘sweetheart’.
Jenny worked at a local design firm during her last year of college through their coop program, then after graduation worked at a large spec home builder for several years and divorced her husband. Later, she met and married her second husband who was a land surveyor, whom she met doing drafting work on the side for them. They moved into a passive solar home in the country and Jenny was intrigued with this style of architecture and began to study solar and energy efficient design and was determined to share this knowledge with others. Jenny was being ‘green’ long before it was in vogue. During this time she was involved in a serious car accident where she was run off the road by a car that left the scene of the accident, which left her in a body cast with a broken back, laid up horizontal for months, until she could be placed in a back brace and was allowed to work again part time for a while. After her recovery, she went to work for a small custom home design firm and learned this is where her passion would take her. She then moved with her second husband to Lake Norman and began her own Design firm full time. After 14 years, she divorced her second husband, who had created a highly successful land surveying company with her help, but blew it all getting involved in cocaine. He lost his business, his wife, his home his friends and eventually his own life.
Jenny went on to buy her own home and renovated it in 1999, then buying and renovating her own office building in 2004. Jenny met Wes in 2004 and they were married in 2005. In December of 2006 they began the process of an extensive renovation to their home, which ultimately became a certified ‘green built home’ and Jenny moved her office into their new home Studio and put her office building on the market for sale in Jan. 2008. During this time, Jenny became very successful with her firm until the bottom fell out in October 2008 with the economic collapse. Every client she had at that time put their projects on hold and Jenny and her staff were left with nothing at all to do. She had finally assembled the best team she had ever worked with and she had to let them all go.
The bank she had financed her office building with through an SBA loan swooped in quickly and foreclosed on her building, since it didn’t sell right away, after refusing to work with her in any way to make different payment arrangements, refinance, etc. This was an incredible blow to her self-esteem, as she and her building were both very well known in the community. Shortly thereafter she began the process of fighting the bank on her own home foreclosure and went ‘down the rabbit hole’ of learning about the fraud in the financial industry, as well as in all aspects of our lives, and learned that it was going to take ‘intestinal fortitude’ to stand up to the system, as one friend put it to her. Jenny was upset, very angry and up to the challenge! She stopped making payments on a rental home they owned, stopped on both of her business credit lines and on all of their credit cards, when they decided they would no longer aid and abet they corrupt system and started down a path of learning various remedies to their situation and to save their home from the bank theft.
She fought the bank’s trustee and attorney at numerous hearings at the Clerk of Court’s office where she objected to the foreclosure of their home on 3 separate occasions. She actually prepared documents on her own without a lawyer, utilizing suggestions and templates, along with loads of research, and moved their case to Federal Court where she demanded a jury trial in a quest to have the truth of the matter heard in open court. After 2 and a half years filing into the case various documents, Courtesy Notices and Affidavits, none of which were ever rebutted by the bank, along with over a year time period where the bank never even responded to the first filing, the judge remanded their case back to state court, refusing to grant a trial by jury and have the truth exposed in his court room, where it would have set precedent for other homeowners to follow. He knew the Clerk of Court would not be required by ‘law’ to look at any of the evidence Jenny had filed into the case. The lawyer for the bank quickly set up the next hearing date and the Clerk allowed Jenny to speak her mind, quote numerous codes and statutes related to the case, and the attorney and Clerk denied all evidence, whereby the Clerk signed the order for foreclosure. Jenny stood up over the Clerk, looking down upon her and basically told the Clerk that she was “corrupt” and aiding and abetting the corrupt system, whereby the Clerk threatened Jenny with contempt of court and asked Jenny if she wanted to spend the night in jail, whereby Jenny said no, she did not intend to do that. The Clerk did not follow through with her threat, but did hand her a wet ink signature original signed ‘Order’ for Foreclosure.
Jenny immediately filed a Notice of Appeal into the case the next day and then the Clerk’s assistant called to say that they would not stay the sale of their home without them paying $10,000 non-refundable money. Jenny and Wes refused to pay the money and the sale was held 21 days later on the courthouse steps. Jenny and a friend witnessed the ‘sale’ and served the substitute trustee who conducted the sale with a Courtesy Notice. Then, Jenny and wes moved out of their beloved home into a rental house, all the while maintaining their home, keeping the electric on, mowing the yard, and keeping their boat on the dock, and moving a few others they met through the OPAL gatherings into their home, even hosting the OPAL tour in December. By the time their one year lease was up at their rental in February of this year, they decided to move back into their home since nothing was happening with their lake home. Then, 4 days later they received a letter from the lawyer with the Notice of Appeal Hearing date scheduled for March 10th. Jenny asked the lawyer to postpone the Hearing, but they refused.
At the hearing Jenny and Wes submitted a Praecipe into the case, along with their I AM documents and Declaration of Rejection. The judge acknowledged seeing the Praecipe in the file, even asking what it was on the record, then proceeded to ignore the documents and dismissed the Appeal. Jenny continued to file more documents into the case, whereby the Clerk ordered her assistants not to time and date stamp any more of Jenny’s documents into the case file, as it was now considered a ‘closed’ case. Since then, Jenny has recorded into the Catawba County Register of Deeds a 112 page filing, where she uses the I AM documents as the underwriting and grounding documents for cause, for cancelling the original DEED OF TRUST and all subsequent alleged contract documents, along with cancelling the Order for Foreclosure and the Order Dismissing the Appeal.
So, here we are 6 years later and a literally a truck load of documents completed and Jenny and Wes still have their home, the bank continues to mail letters stating that “the loan terms originally agreed to in the transaction documents you signed remain valid and enforceable throughout the life of the loan. These terms are in no way compromised, altered or amended by your sending this correspondence”. Yes, the Sheriff has yet to send his deputy’s out to evict them.
Jenny is a fighter, determined to stand up for what she believes is right, to expose the truth. Her many credentials include: a Certified Professional Building Designer (CPBD) since 1989, and is a professional member of the American Institute of Building Design (AIBD) since 1988; Pippin holds diplomas in Classical Architecture, Green Building and Renewable Energy Technologies and is a Certified Green Professional, with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). She is also the past chair of the Lake Norman HBA Green Building Council and a well-known speaker and lecturer on Green Building and Sustainable Living practices. She was recently nominated as a Fellow in the AIBD, the highest ranking membership level in her professional organization.
She is the recipient of numerous design and business achievement awards, including: the ‘Environmental Leadership’ award in 2013, by the Charlotte Hornets’ Nest Girl Scouts Council; the 2009 ‘50 Most Influential Women of the Year’ award from Mecklenburg Times; in 2008, The Charlotte Business Journal recognized Pippin with three Green awards: Green For-Profit Business of the Year, Green Advocate of the Year and Green Residential Renovation Project of the Year and she also received the Special Project – Green Renovation Stars Award, from the NC Homebuilders Association for her own home. In addition, she was awarded the prestigious 2004 Charlotte Woman Business Owner of the Year Award, from the National Association for Women Business Owners; the 2004 Top 25 Women in Business Achievement award, by the Charlotte Business Journal; and the 2008 Top Women Business Leader in the Golden Crescent award, from Business Today.
With 30 years of experience in Residential Design, her award-winning homes can be found all around the Lake Norman area in NC and multiple states nationwide, featured in numerous local and national magazines, and in television programs including HGTV, NASCAR Today, and Desperate Design. The vital concepts of environmental consciousness, Universal Design, and Feng Shui are all combined and incorporated into every project she creates.
Her many local and national awards and credentials speak to her professional capability. The homes she and her firm designs reflect the diversity and uniqueness that has given her the reputation as the Green Home designer for "homes with a view." Pippin utilizes the natural features of the site, the views and the movement of the sun across the property, to create a comfortable home uniquely suited to its environment, providing healthy, durable and loveable homes, incorporating the unique visions of each individual client, to make them authentic to the homeowner and the site.
Increasing her talents and expertise, Pippin regularly attends continuing education courses and workshops, learning about energy efficiency, solar design, universal design, the various market segments, high performance home design, renewable energy technologies, etc. These qualities speak to her commitment to remain on the cutting edge of design, for the ultimate benefit of her clients.

THE INTUITIVE VOICE - An experiential workshop with Danae Shanti
I would love to talk about accessing the many levels of Guidance we all have available to us at ALL TIMES. This can include the non-physical realms of Guides, Teachers, Angels, Archangels and beloved departed family members.
These communications from loving sources can assist us to find our own intuitive voice as we open our inner listening channels. When we can trust ourselves and senses, and listen as well as speak from this intuitive, connected place, our lives transform.
Whatever our unique expression is, it’s coming from a place of our divine guidance. Through this practice we can be a healing channel of transformation into the world.
I have a workshop called 'The Intuitive Voice' which is an opportunity for people to explore communication & relationship with their guidance. During this Interview I can touch upon:
- Personal stories of my own mystical experiences in working with teachers in the etheric realms
-Communication from Teaching Guides specifically available for the audience
-Teaching tools, tips and exercises for learning how to tap into your own guidance
Testimonials:
'Upon leaving Danae's "Opening Your Listening Channels" workshop I turned on my phone, and began to drive home, thinking about how imagination and intuition are so intertwined, both rooted in cosmic origin. Then a text message came to my phone from my deceased daughter's phone. It was the photo attached, that my nephew sent to my daughter a few months before she passed. The day before, I was looking at the photos stored on her phone and sent several favorites to my email. I saw the one, here, attached, and thought it is cool but did not send it to my email, I just passed over it. I guessed that my wife was looking at the photos on my daughter's phone and sent this to me knowing the kind of workshop I had just attended. I texted my wife's phone, thanking her for sending it and how appropriate the timing was to send it. She replied that she didn't know what I was talking about! Well, all the hair on my body went straight up and I talked to my daughter all the way home. When I got home I found her phone was off and the battery was dead!' ~ D.M
''Danae Shanti's "Opening Your Listening Channels" workshop opened my doors of perception by using the crucial tool of breath to center, be present, and feel the source, (or resource,) of my higher self. When our breathing brought us to a fully present state, Danae taught how to become a conduit of guidance. By trusting our feelings and thoughts, and as she said; "letting SPIRIT drive the bus," everyone in the workshop felt the power of the intuitive wisdom that our guides freely share when we open ourselves to receive' ~ D.M

“Education is the key that opens the golden doors of freedom” – George Washington Caver
Connie Baxter Marlow, grew up in Pittsfield, Maine. She graduated from Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Massachusetts. In 1968 she graduated from UC Berkeley with an honors degree in Economics. While at Berkeley she studied photography in the West Coast style of black and white landscape photography. She is the great, great granddaughter of James Phinney Baxter, 6-time Mayor of Portland, Maine and great grandniece of Percival P. Baxter, Governor of Maine 1921-1925. She is a direct descendent of John and Priscilla Alden and Alice and William Mullins, Mayflower Pilgrims.
Her visionary, philanthropic and courageous ancestors inspire Connie to carry on their mandate to make the world a better place. Her life's work has been to communicate information she feels she has discovered regarding the nature of the universe as it is held in the knowing of all people and carried in the "way of life" of the indigenous peoples of the world, and manifested in the evolution of the American Spirit through the literal application of America's Freedom Documents.
In 1972 Scrimshaw Press published Connie's book of photographs on Mt. Katahdin and Baxter State Park, Greatest Mountain: Katahdin's Wilderness. Connie created that book to communicate the vision of her Uncle Percival, who gave the 200,000 acres and 50 mountains that comprise Baxter State Park to the people of Maine to be held "forever wild" , because she felt that if people knew of his vision and his mission they would honor the "Deeds of Trust " established by Baxter.
Greatest Mountain:Katahdin's Wilderness was republished in 1999 by Tilbury House Publishers. The new edition reflect s Connie's 10 year involvement with the Native Americans. It includ es the Wabanaki connection to their sacred mountain through writings by Arnie Neptune and Dennis Kostyk, as well as Connie's evolving worldview as her experiences with the visionary elders of the United States and Mexico influenced her life and her thinking.
In 2000 a photography exhibit entitled Greatest Mountain: Exploring the Mystical Nature of Katahdin evolved out of the Katahdin book. In 2002 this exhibit hung in Concord, Massachusetts and a film series entitled The American Evolution: Voices of America evolved from the events held in conjunction with the exhibit. The film series features Henry David Thoreau through interpreter, Richard Smith; top Thoreau scholar and editor , Bradley P. Dean, Ph.D.: Arnie Neptune and Barbara Beckwith, Penobscot elders, Muslim Imam, Feisal Rauf, Greek/American sociologist Kyriacos Markides and Mt. Katahdin and discusses the profounder aspects of being American, bringing in the Native American perspective and Thoreau's life-long interest in the Algonquin Indian. Information on the film series and copies of it are available for purchase.
Connie has spent extensive time with visionary Native American elders throughout the United States and Mexico and most recently the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert of Africa.

MAJOR GENERAL ALBERT N. STUBBLEBINE is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy (West Point, class of 52) who enjoyed a distinguished 32 year career in the U.S. Army. He retired as the Commanding General of the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM).

After his retirement he served as the VP for Intelligence Systems with BDM, a major defense contractor. He has brought these experiences to leading-edge medical research and development in collaboration with his wife Rima E. Laibow, M.D
He is a long-term out-of-the-box thinker who redesigned the U.S. Army?s Intelligence Architecture while serving as the Commanding General of the U.S. Army?s Intelligence School and Center. This intelligence restructuring earned him his place in the Intelligence Hall of Fame.
Among his other accomplishments, he participated in a special task force which defined the requirements of the U.S. Army for future conflict. Many of the innovations he developed helped the U.S. to conduct the First Gulf War effectively and swiftly with a very low casualty rate.
Having defended his country for 32 years and having then worked for the remainder of his career to build better ways of being and becoming well, Bert is determined not to let the forces which are threatening American?s health freedoms prevail. Formerly a warrior for America's military, now he is a warrior for America?s health and personal freedom.
