Title:  Reflections On The Path While Walking God’s Will

We predicted a year ago that God promised to lift everyone up who humbly ask for it. That he would lift them out of the chaos, removing some of the karma we have not been able to get past, and allowing for our illnesses to drop away, long enough for each one who is willing to understand the meaning of walking in oneness with God’s will.

Join us for another exciting Angel Talk radio show, sponsored by The Living Light Center a Church of Faith and Healing.

Life Changes Show Guest, Karen Bruno February 24, 2025
Naturopath, Flower Essence Practitioner, Reiki Master, Wellness Manager

Karen Bruno is a Naturopath, Flower Essence Practitioner, and Reiki Master with almost 15 years of experience in holistic healing. Originally from Brazil, where she received the majority of her training and certification as a naturopath, Karen has dedicated her life to understanding the deeper aspects of existence—exploring emotions, energy, and the unseen forces that shape our reality. 

 Her passion for this work comes from her own journey of seeking answers and understanding both life and herself. Through this path of self-discovery, she realized it was about much more than just physical or emotional healing—it was about awakening to a greater truth. She found a deeper connection to Source and began to remember who she truly is—who I AM. This profound understanding of her essence, along with her desire to help others remember their own divine nature, has become the guiding force of her path. 

 Karen’s work is about more than healing—it’s about consciousness expansion. Through Flower Essence Therapy, Reiki, and other energy healing techniques, she helps individuals awaken to their own power and divine connection. She believes healing doesn’t have to be difficult; it can also be a gentle, graceful process, much like the subtle yet profound way Flower Essences work. 

In her private sessions and group work, Karen guides people in releasing old patterns and beliefs, or any stuck emotions, allowing them to step fully into the present moment, reclaim their power, and create a life in alignment with their highest potential. 

As the wellness manager at Rafi Lounge in Malibu, Karen shares her knowledge with the community, creating a beautiful and powerful space for transformation, healing, and empowerment.

Sound Pathways Guest, David Vito Gregoli February 19, 2025
Sound Painter, Multi-instrumentalist, producer

Producer/Composer/Artist/Multi-Instrumentalist David Vito Gregoli

“I’m a sound painter…”

Vito’s musical journey has been nothing if not diverse. His earliest musical explorations were rooted in Pop, Rock, Jazz and Blues, and shades of The Beatles, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck can be spotted in his work to this day. Vito was born in Los Angeles on October 20, 1959. By the time he was in his teens, he was already hailed as a guitar virtuoso and working regularly in the L.A. club scene. “I was lucky I could grow a beard, so I passed for legal age,” quips Vito. Surrounded by older and more experienced musicians, Vito soaked up technique and style, but took a right turn in college towards Classical Music.

“I’ve loved history since I was a kid, and Classical Music was the soundtrack to every era. At university, my emphasis was in Renaissance music, composition, and later, Spanish guitar.” This Latin influence would later flower into his spanish flavored album “Organic Nylon”. Vito’s Classical studies naturally led him to scoring. “I grew up in a theatrical family, and my sister was always calling on me to create music for her shows,” says Vito. His keen dramatic instincts have been tapped for music in film, TV and theatre projects.

As a songwriter working in the Pop, Rock and Country fields, he’s collaborated with noteworthy artists producing as well as playing on all the songs. Vito’s tasty guitar has been a spotlight in many of L.A.’s most popular bands as well as in studio sessions. His extensive musical IQ also made him a sought-after musical director for many singer/songwriters.

But it was Vito’s spiritual quest that led him to the New Age and World Music scenes. He was introduced to Transcendental Meditation at the age of 13, and later he turned to Buddhist meditation practices and Yoga. This in turn exposed him to Global Music and World instruments, from sitar to charango. His interests in the healing power of music and his Classical background seamlessly blended in with his expansive experiments in New Age music, expressed in his first release as an artist, “Yoga Heart Healing”.
Over the years, he’s had the privilege of working with such New Age and World Music artists as Constance Demby, Jai Uttal (featured on the Grammy Nominated “Mondo Rama” as guitarist and co-Producer),  Deepak Chopra, Steven Halpern and produced and co wrote with for the acclaimed albums “Songs of Kuan Yin” with Donna De Lory for Sounds True Records.

Vito’s talents were recently featured on the title track for the tour de force album by Al Jewer and Andy Mitran, “Transformation” (co written by Gregoli), as well as jazz singer Kathy Sanborn, New Age artist Grayhawk Gibney, Kirtan artists Porter Singer and Neil Martin, and Jazz Hip-Hop artists Copus Multimedia…as well as tracks for flautist Mark Seelig’s new album on the Projekt label produced by Byron Metcalf.

Recent producing projects include New Age Pop singer/songwriter Kimberly Haynes’ award winning debut album “Awaken Me”, as well as the following up album “In Dreams”;  singer/songwriters Julia Fordham, Quincy Coleman, Mitzi Swarz, Eric Harrington, Stacy Robin – and award nominated Mary Gospe and award nominated kirtan artist Prem Vidu.

Meanwhile, Vito has embarked on the massive task of bringing the centuries old sacred text the “Bhagavad Gita” to the world as an album and rock opera,
Song Divine“. Renown writer Lissa Coffey has translated the book:  
“There hasn’t been a translation that is easily accessible, and easy to relate to without massive explanation. Song Divine is written in verse and rhyme, the way the Bhagavad Gita (translated to “The Song of God” from Sanskrit) was originally intended.”
The album was released to great acclaim in the fall of 2021.

Also on June 28, 2022 saw the release of the long awaited "Wild Monsoon" with 2x Grammy winner Ricky Kej in a unique collaboration. East meets West, New Age meets World Beat.
"That is one incredible album David, wow! Get ready for a Grammy!"
- Keith Hanneleck, New Age music Reviews

Whether laying down killer guitar tracks, composing original music or adding depth and polish to artists he produces, Vito brings integrity and unique artistry to music that defies pigeon-holes. “I have the ability to hear something in everything — I can see ‘round the bend when someone plays me an idea. That inspires me in the job of Producer.”

Life Changes Show Guest, Noah Solt February 17, 2025
Indie-Folk Musician, Sea Captain

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.

As Solt continues to evolve as an artist, he remains committed to creating music that serves as a space for those seeking reconnection to themselves in an often chaotic world. His dedication to his craft and unique life experiences position him as a rising star in the Indie Folk scene, offering a space for listeners to pause, return to themselves, and reconnect with their inner luminosity.
