Kingdom Aquaponics™ founder and Principal Leighton Morrison has a unique and diverse background. As a child Leighton gravitated to alternative energy, natural systems and sustainability after experiencing the 1973 oil crisis. He designed a passive solar house with indoor gardens for food production in mechanical drawing class in 7th grade. In his teenage years he began to breed fish for sale and incorporate them into a living garden system.
In the eighties he became obsessed with the project Bio Sphere 2 and the science behind it. In 1983, he started a construction company with a sustainability emphasis, and attended Boston Architectural Center. Leighton then started a marble and granite company in 1993 and worked for clients looking for an artistic flare and an alternative to man made solid surfaces. This reflected applied knowledge to another of his passions: geology. In 1996, he constructed a zero impact home on the coast of Maine and eliminated all nitrogen and phosphate discharge into the ocean from the waterfront property while fabricating exotic stone for discerning clients.
In 2008, Leighton went back to his roots/passions and began the structural work for an aquaponic future. Through a process of discovery, beginning with a comprehensive plan for a stand-alone aquaponics facility in Vermont, he recognized a significant business opportunity. Instead of just focusing on the local “farm to table movement”, truly organic food production and food security, he investigated repurposing the waste streams of aquaponics and aquaculture.
Research and Development:
In 2012, Leighton set up a small scale aquaculture system with 100 tilapia at Rodale Institute. He worked with Dr. Elaine Ingham a world renowned soil biologist, blending his by-products with traditional compost and worm castings to prove the value of aquatic ecosystems by-products and how they can reduce the need for synthetics on the environment. For eighteen months, Leighton studied the art of composting, compost tea brewing, extract making and vermaculture to complete the proof of concept work necessary. By combining these products/ techniques and applying them to his knowledge of machines and forces, he was able to develop processing equipment to produce the end products that Kingdom Aquaponics™ is now offering.
Leighton then joined forces with James Sottilo of Ecological Landscape Management, a nationally recognized pioneer in organic land and tree care. Together they vetted the product while continuing to improve it with the tried and tested methods that James has implemented in his work. Leighton has successfully scaled up production three times over without compromising quality. The 4th generation processing equipment has already been designed and is awaiting demand so it may be purchased, installed and put into operation.
"The goal has always been to slow the environmental impact of humanity, and I’m honored to be on the forefront of bringing safe natural land care products to the masses ” - Leighton Morrison
Want to learn how spontaneous action is the doorway to more? My guest is Rebecca Dawson who has been a channel for information about the Earth, the human race and other planetary systems for over 20 years. Her identity and view of the world changed dramatically when she was 18 years old, after she spontaneously became a channel which wasn’t part of her plan for life, as she was enthusiastically studying to become an architect at the time. Now for over 20 years, after thousands of hours expressing the wisdom of aspects like St. Germain, Kuthumi, and Serapis Bey, Rebecca offers the latest channeled information on the current state of humanity and the planet, the mechanics of dimensional reality, and the nature of Consciousness. Rebecca is the author of three books and lives in Perth, Australia.
As an intuitive therapist, medium, author, lecturer and certified hypnotherapist, Melinda has a very successful practice in Tempe. Countless people have benefited from Melinda Vail’s counseling and intuitive work. She has appeared on both local and national television and radio shows. Melinda is also an accomplished speaker at the national level and gives workshops across the country to promote spiritual growth. Her work with police agencies helping to solve cold cases and donating her time to provide grief counseling (like her suicide survivor workshops) has garnered her the nickname “The Medium Who Makes a Difference.”
As a medium, Melinda demonstrates with evidence and fact her connection to those who have died. Her methodology employed is what is known as “cold readings”. This is a technique in which the client and Melinda have no past relationship and Melinda is able to give very specific information, details and messages that fully support that she is indeed in the energy field of her client as well as communicating with the spirit of the deceased.
Melinda’s stage presentation skills are a delightful mix between Dr. Joyce Brothers and Joan Rivers.
As a teacher and author, Melinda demonstrates how energy works on this planet and inspires you to lead a more fulfilling and meaningful existence. Melinda’s message is to teach individuals how to tap into their spiritual essence by providing the necessary tools to understand the energetic patterns created in childhood, which may prohibit balance in adulthood.
Melinda has spoken nationally at such events as "Celebrate Your Life" along with Sylvia Browne, Wayne Dyer, and James Redfield, author of the Celestine Prophecy; "Celebrating Body, Mind & Spirit" in Spokane, Washington along with John Holland and Wyatt Webb and "The Life After Life Conference ".
Her weekly Facebook show Wednesday Connections with Melinda allows viewers to call or email in their spiritual questions and have them answered live. Her YouTube Channel contains a library with hundreds of videos of Melinda’s body of work. Most recently, Melinda was interviewed as one of the most inspiring women in the world in an international publication yet to be published, as well as having been voted Phoenix Natural Choice Magazine Best Intuitive Award Winner three years in a row.
Melinda makes her home in Chandler, Arizona with her husband, Bill. Together, they have five children, eight grandchildren, and four dogs. Hobbies include hiking, dinner parties, travel, and comfortable home time.

ELDER GENTLEMAN DEACON CHAIRMAN HARPER IS THE HUSBAND OF PASTOR ETHEL HARPER AND THEY ARE A HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM PRAISING LORD
David will be discussing his just-published new book on Angels. He has been visited by angels over 700 times over the last 16 years, and he will share some of their mystical and practical revelations: how angels are working with humanity today, and the name and mission of angels never before revealed.
Over the last decade, I’ve interviewed David Christopher Lewis on Cosmic LOVE several times. I’ve investigated his background and I’m convinced he’s the real deal – the rare authentic clairaudient who can hear, clearly speak and precisely transcribe the voice of angels.
Angels are messengers of God who amplify the feelings and divine emotions of God, delivering guidance to mankind, along with hope and understanding as well as graces, virtues and blessings.
The more you tune into the truly enlightened messages of angels, the more you anchor that light in your life and the world at large.
Angels don’t just warn us and save us from danger. They are our friends and servitors who inspire us on wings of higher consciousness.
Better to soar with the angels on thermals of grace than scratch with the turkeys on bugs of begrudge.
Welcome David to Cosmic LOVE with Your Presence,
~ Christopher Rudy

J O A N J E T T
Kenny Laguna has been in the music industry as a musician, songwriter, singer and producer for nearly five decades. His resume is as diverse as his talents, including Bubblegum, Punk Rock, Indie Rock, Blue Eyed Soul and more. He has produced Darlene Love, Bill Medley, Edwin Star, The Steve Gibbons Band (for Bill Curbishley and The Who), Bow Wow Wow-- including the band’s biggest hit, "I Want Candy,” the soundtrack to the Andy Warhol movie Lonesome Cowboys, and he wrote and produced for Beserkley Records with Jonathan Richman and Greg Kihn.
He is Joan Jett’s longtime producer, songwriting partner and partner in their label, Blackheart Records, along with his wife/high school sweetheart, Meryl Laguna, and their daughter, Carianne Brinkman. He has produced many Blackheart artists including Girl in a Coma, Cherie Currie and The Vacancies.
Starting at the tender age of 12 years old, Kenny was playing keyboards for New York radio high school hops, for twenty dollars a day, when he was recognized by an industry bigwig. This led to other doors that Kenny kicked open, and eventually he found himself producing and playing in Bubblegum bands like Tommy James and the Shondells, The Archies, Shadows of Night, 1910 Fruitgum Co., and the Ohio Express.
By 1972, Kenny had played and sung on over 50 Billboard Top 40 hits. After the demise of Bubblegum, he was given the opportunity to produce for The Who’s label in London, which would prime him for the next phase, Punk Rock.
Kenny was asked to help write and produce six songs in 8 days with a young singer named Joan Jett. Her former band, The Runaways, had broken up, but they were still contracted to do a project that was yet unfinished. Kenny and Joan immediately found they were kindred spirits and have collaborated on every Joan Jett album and hit ever since.
In 2015, Kenny, alongside Jett, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He "felt honored to be standing next to his best friend,” accepting the coveted award. After 35 years of creating music together, he and Jett are still touring the world, writing and recording new music.
