Peter M Rojcewicz, PhD
Students enter school with an implicate identity embedded in personal ‘ways of knowing’ and sense-making that exist before and beyond normative categorical academic identifications. Students with cognitive capacities that are non-discursive, supra-rational, or otherwise outside conventional methods of assessment are either not academically recognized or intentionally disregarded by schools as academically nonviable. Schools impose upon learners normative cognitive verbal-based and numerical grids that filter out learners’ atypical insights or render them meaningless. Nonconventional learners are unquestionably intelligent, but they are also dissentient and distrustful of what is not derived from personal, lived experience. Learners with unique modes of knowing are often maligned as ‘non-academic’, shamed as ‘slow’, or marginalized in rigid program tracks designed for disabled or transgressive students. They are often ostracized by their cognitively conventional classmates and implicitly stigmatized by administrators and faculty who define the criteria and tightly control processes of academic success. In school environments of systemic exclusion, atypical leaners - including black, indigenous, Asian, and people of color (BIPOC) - often undergo micro-aggressions, isolation, invalidation, and diminished belonging. Violence is perpetrated upon learners. In schools without programs and learning communities featuring inclusiveness of diverse ways of knowing and being, atypical learners are 'Othered' and suffer disfigurement of Being via restrictive educational configurations. Students demonstrating anomalous learning abilities, however strong, are implicitly and explicitly targeted as academic ‘outlaws’, held back behind the bars of ‘no-entry’ into academic grace and ‘no-escape’ from subordinate academic status. Learning in most schools is, therefore, a zero/sum game. That is, typical math and word-based learners ‘win’ and atypical, tacit learners ‘lose’. The epistemic need of non-discursive, intuitive or bodily-kinesthetic learners to feel they are a part of and contributor to cooperative classroom inquiry is squashed and their epistemic self-confidence lost. Atypical, perspicacious learners encounter stiff and ongoing pressure to ‘disappear’ themselves within a schools’ surveillance state of conventional learning. They are constantly adjusted to conform to an abstract normed image of a learner. Non-conventional learners have little choice but to numb, maim, or cut away a part of their implicate identity by remaining to be a student in schools that define academic capacity strictly as numerical and verbal, turning away from the inner voices that insistently shout, "This is dangerous!" Few educators are willing to discuss this problem of violent outcomes. As an irreducible matter of professional ethics, schools must overcome their destructive legacy of creating adverse experiences (ACEs) that result from ‘splitting’ objective vs. subjective, rational vs. non-rational, book learning vs. project-based team learning, etc. Exclusionary control over non-normative learning isolate creativity and epistemic and cognitive difference beyond the margins of curricula and, thereby, forsake human wholeness. As such, a body-mind catastrophe looms over atypical learners - students and faculty alike. My Project Human Completion offers a holistic and integral approach to cultivating an all-sided learner through school curricula that fosters rational, tacit, informal, and distributed understandings (e.g., intuition, revelations, epiphanies, and dreams), as found in art, myths, folklore, and depth psychology indivisibly joined to the empirical knowledge and practices of the techno-sciences (i.e., STEM). For the sake of our learners as engaged citizens, we must expand our schools' narrow one-sided understanding of learning, knowledge, intelligence, and Being as exclusively objective, rational, and measurable. Along that path, our schools can heal the cognitive and ontological disturbance they currently engender.

For over 40 years, I have dedicated my life to helping people reconnect with their inner strength, find clarity during life's challenges, and create lasting transformation. As an author, speaker, lifestyle coach, Guardian Angel communicator, clairvoyant psychic medium, Reiki Master-Teacher, and certified sound practitioner, I combine science-backed wellness practices with spiritual insight to help people move from surviving to truly thriving. One of my favorite topics to discuss is the powerful connection between gratitude, mindset, energy, and personal transformation. Many people think gratitude is simply saying "thank you," but research continues to show that practicing gratitude can rewire the brain, reduce stress, and even support physical health. I love sharing simple, practical ways anyone can begin experiencing these benefits immediately. I also enjoy discussing how our thoughts, emotions, and energy influence every area of our lives, from our health and relationships to our careers and overall happiness. Whether through Reiki, sound healing, meditation, visualization, or intentional daily habits, we all have the ability to shift our energy and create positive change. My goal is to make these concepts approachable, understandable, and useful for listeners regardless of their spiritual background. Another fascinating conversation is learning to trust your intuition. Many people experience gut feelings, meaningful coincidences, or signs they can't explain but don't know how to interpret them. I teach audiences how to recognize intuitive guidance, quiet the noise of fear and self-doubt, and become more confident in making decisions that align with their authentic purpose. As a Guardian Angel communicator, I also enjoy sharing uplifting stories about hope, healing, and the comforting ways many people experience spiritual guidance during difficult seasons of life. My approach is always one of empowerment rather than prediction. I encourage people to recognize that they have free will, inner wisdom, and the ability to consciously create a more fulfilling life. Throughout my career, I've worked with individuals, businesses, healthcare professionals, and organizations, helping them reduce stress, improve well-being, strengthen resilience, and cultivate more positive environments. Whether speaking to corporate audiences about workplace wellness, leading transformational workshops, or working one-on-one with clients, my mission remains the same: to help people discover the light within themselves. Listeners will leave our conversation with practical tools they can begin using immediately, including simple gratitude practices, techniques for managing stress and anxiety, ways to increase mental clarity and emotional resilience, strategies for strengthening intuition, and a fresh perspective on how mindset and energy work together to shape our daily experiences. My message is ultimately one of hope and empowerment. No matter where someone is in their journey, it is never too late to heal, grow, redefine their future, or reconnect with their purpose. Small, intentional shifts can create extraordinary transformations, and I love inspiring audiences to take those first steps toward living a more joyful, meaningful, and empowered life. Whether your audience is interested in personal development, holistic wellness, spirituality, leadership, resilience, or simply becoming the best version of themselves, our conversation will provide inspiration, practical takeaways, and an uplifting reminder that every person has the power to create positive change from the inside out.

We live in a world where people are searching for more information, more motivation, and more answers. Yet despite unlimited access to knowledge, many still feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or stuck repeating the same patterns. What if the missing piece isn’t more information? What if it’s awareness? As the founder of Bee Limitless Now and the creator of The Presence Effect™, I’ve become fascinated by what happens when people begin to observe themselves differently. Our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, habits, and even our nervous system quietly shape how we experience life, yet few of us have been taught how to recognize those patterns. My own journey has been one of extraordinary transformation. I overcame addiction, rebuilt my life, and after the tragic loss of my only child, I found myself asking questions that traditional approaches could not answer. That search led me into years of studying human behavior, consciousness, awareness, energy, subconscious programming, and the remarkable capacity we each have to transform from the inside out. Today, I help people identify the unconscious patterns influencing their decisions, relationships, health, confidence, and sense of purpose. I believe we are far more powerful than we’ve been led to believe, but our greatest limitations are often the stories, beliefs, and emotional conditioning operating beneath our awareness. This conversation isn’t about fixing people. It’s about helping them see themselves differently. Your audience can expect an engaging discussion exploring why we repeat familiar patterns, how awareness changes the brain and nervous system, why presence is one of the most overlooked tools for personal transformation, and how small shifts in perception can create meaningful changes in everyday life. Rather than telling people what to believe, I invite them to become curious about themselves. When we increase awareness, we gain the opportunity to interrupt automatic patterns and begin making conscious choices. Listeners often tell me they leave these conversations with a renewed sense of possibility and a completely different way of looking at themselves. They gain practical insights they can apply immediately, whether they’re navigating stress, grief, relationships, leadership, or personal growth. If your audience enjoys conversations that challenge conventional thinking while remaining grounded, relatable, and practical, I believe this interview will leave them with one lasting message: awareness changes everything. The moment we become fully present, we open the door to new possibilities that may have been there all along. USA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact 3 Ways Psilocybin Helps Women Over 50 Heal At a moment when psychedelic medicine is moving from the margins to the mainstream, debated in Congress, studied at Johns Hopkins University and NYU and embraced by a growing number of clinicians--one important voice emerges from the national conversation: women’s. With 25+ years of clinical experience in integrative mental health and mind-body training from Harvard University, Heather Lee is one of the first leading psychedelic-assisted psychotherapists in the U.S. How Psilocybin helps Women over 50 Heal: Updates those tired and outdated self-narratives. After 30+ years in practice, I've watched women carry beliefs about themselves — "I'm too old to change," "This is just who I am now" — formed decades ago and never re-examined. Psilocybin temporarily loosens the brain's default mode network, the system that keeps us locked into rigid, habitual self-stories. Clinically, that's a real opening: a chance to revise a belief rather than just talk around it.Reawakens your sense of awe and wonder. Psilocybin can reconnect you to a spiritual or soulful part of yourself. Mystical-type experiences during psilocybin sessions are consistently linked in the research to reduced existential anxiety and a renewed sense of meaning — not religious conversion, but a felt sense of being part of something larger. For women whose worldview has narrowed to caretaking, logistics, and survival, this is often the most moving and magical part of the work. Creates deep healing and meaningful grief processing. Journeys generate embodied healing that talk therapy alone often can't move. Women over 50 are frequently grieving in multiple directions at once — parents, partners, and a shrinking circle of peers — and prolonged grief goes significantly underdiagnosed in this group. Emerging trials on psilocybin-assisted therapy for bereavement (including work out of the University Health Network in Toronto) show real promise, and it's a benefit that rarely makes it into mainstream coverage.

I am a 47-year-old tattooed DJ with ripped jeans and a backward baseball cap. No one expects me to tell them I talk to dead people. No one looks at the portrait of Ozzy Osbourne permanently inked on my arm while listening to about 72 F bombs per sentence that comes out of my mouth and expects a tarot card spread presented to them. It IS easier to believe I have worked in rock radio for over two decades. I am a Generation X era Italian New Yorker with a passion for mental health initiatives and helping medically fragile children. Over the course of my career I have helped raise over a quarter of a million dollars for various 501c3s and received an award for a mental health awareness telethon that aired for four straight years

Summary of my book. I used a pen name for this book to protect the guilty. I did not want a troubled veteran to go after him and thus get themself in trouble. The book is called, "Blood Fake - A Stolen Valor Story". This book is about a person who used a fake diagnosis of "PTSD" in his act of military heroism. He has used this story to manipulate, deceive, and control his targets (women) over the course of nearly 35 years. He estranges them from their families and then goes to work. I want people to be horrified by this story. I have three goals: 1) to educate the general public 2) to modify or add to the current Stolen Valor Act of 2013 to include cases like my sister's, and 3) to show how my Christian faith overcame my aggression and hatred through forgiveness. The story I am telling covers approximately 4 years of his life with my sister, but he has destroyed many families prior and is in the process of destroying another. Though I would like to see accountability in this world I do know he will be held to account in the end. This book is not an easy read, but I ask you to pick up a copy of the book to help me make my sister's life matter. Please visit Authorhouse.com and get your copy from the bookstore for Blood Fake - A Stolen Valor Story. United States
My sister was one such woman. We were all from the same area and my brother and I were friends with his brothers. One had since past, but we remain friends with his surviving brother. He is also estranged from his brother. My sister killed herself in October of 2022. He simply broke her. He cheated on her, stole from her and used her to raise a couple of his children. He had no parenting skills and is suspected of child sexual abuse. After my sister's death he shows up at the viewing with his two daughters and a woman sits with them the entire evening. Turns out she's the new target. Within months they purchased a home and get married. He simply replaced my sister. This woman's sister reached out to me because "she heard things". Nearly all the things I mention in my book are proven through my sister's texts, emails, and police records.
