Senator Michael D. Brown is back with us after his campaign win this past week! We'll be discussing current events, activities in Washington and President Trump’s 'Zero Tolerance' immigration policy that has led to images of children screaming as they were separated from their mothers. We've seen children being placed in cages at Wal-Mart warehouses & other facilities costing $750 per day to housing and caring for them. Finally bowing to pressure, Trump signs an Executive Order ending his family separation policy. There are now more than 2,300 children that need to be reunited with their mothers due to this. Join us!

Lisa Barnett
As an internationally recognized author, teacher and healer with more than 20 years experience in the Spiritual healing forum, Lisa found herself, in the mid 1990’s, being intimately summoned by the Akashic Masters to share their personal insights into her life and those of her clients. In 2005, Lisa took a deep dive into the Akashic Field, which lead her on the most fabulous 10 year journey. From this profound emersion she was called to start the Akashic Knowing School of Wisdom and to create resources to bring clarity and healing from the ancient Akashic knowledge to a broader audience. As the Akashic Knowing founder, facilitator and teacher, Lisa shares with her students the unconditional love, guidance, and wisdom that comes from the Masters of the Akashic Records.

Her unique healing technique called “Pain Body Release ” helps her clients let go of their accumulated emotional pain, from both their current and past lives. This ancient wisdom is here to help humanity create steps to the life their heart and soul desires. At this stage of my life, I am best known as an Akashic Record Teacher, Consultant, Healer, and author of The Infinite Wisdom of the Akashic Records. I am also blessed to be the mother of three. My life is filled with children, love, laughter, service and Akashic healing, but it has not always been this way. Allow me to share with you who I am, why I “get you” so much, and exactly WHAT you can do to get some crystal clear answers NOW.
I was similar to you, not so long ago.
I had a time in my life where I was questioning EVERYTHING. I had the “perfect” life… I had a great corporate job, was making great money, and in a happy marriage. On the outside everything looked great, but on the inside I felt lost on my path – confused, exhausted and sick to my stomach – both figuratively and literally. Basically, my life just started to fall apart. I found myself chronically ill, and my body just began to turn off. I could no longer function efficiently at my high-pressure job. I was doing all the right things, but nothing was working. I tried Holistic doctors, acupuncturists, herbs, nutritionists, psychics, energy healers, meditation, and spiritual healing. The works. Through this long and difficult experience, I was guided to dig deep inside of myself, and find my answers. When I did, I was given a gift that helped me to get my life back on track. I became so empowered by this knowledge, that I learned how to do the same for other. Since then, I’ve created a wonderful life and an amazing business helping people just like you to have lasting transformation. It can be painful when you are out of alignment with your soul mission, and what you came here to accomplish. I help individuals just like you, find the core truth of who you are, and to receive the messages of your soul so that you feel clear, able to move forward and be excited about your life. When you’re on purpose, life flows easier, there is greater clarity, and your ability to attract your good becomes high.

DR. GARY SHAPIRO
Gary L. Shapiro, Ph.D. began his involvement with orangutans 43 years ago in the field of primate cognition and learning. He was the first person (1973-1975) to teach a symbolic communication system to an orangutan (at the now Chaffee Zoological Park, Fresno, CA) and the first person to have taught sign language to orangutans in the species’ natural environment, the forests of Tanjung Puting National Park, Indonesian Borneo (1978-1980; 1981). One of the orangutans, Princess, adopted Shapiro as her father. Shapiro was able to teach Princess over 40 signs which she used to express her interests in obtaining items and activities of interest as well as describing her environment. During his time in Indonesian Borneo, Shapiro assisted in the rehabilitation efforts of dozens of orangutans confiscated from the illegal pet trade and monitored the phenology of local rain forest ecosystem.
Shapiro received his doctorate in Zoology in 1985 from the University of Oklahoma then returned to Indonesian Borneo (1986) to conduct post-doctoral freshwater ecology studies in Tanjung Puting National Park. Shapiro’s interest in the freshwater ecology of Borneo was an extension of the research projects he conducted while being employed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (1982-1985). He spent 28 years as a government scientist, first as a biologist with the Army Corp of Engineers, then as a planner with the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and finally with California EPA in the Department of Toxic Substances Control where he worked as a Hazardous Substances Scientist and an emergency responder. He retired in 2014.
Shapiro was the co-founder and vice president of the Orangutan Foundation International from 1986-2004 where he administered and oversaw the activities supporting research and conservation in and around Tanjung Puting National Park. He participated in the 1993 Population and Habitat Viability Assessment in Sumatra and authored or co-authored various papers on orangutan linguistics, cognition, conservation and ethics. In late 2004, Dr. Shapiro and his Indonesian wife, Inggriani, were inspired to create the Orang Utan Republik Education Initiative (OUREI), a nonprofit project, in response to the education needs underscoring the crisis facing orangutans today, particularly in Sumatra. In Sumatra, the orangutan is Critically Endangered. In 2007, the Orang Utan Republik Foundation (OURF) and OUREI Indonesia (OUREII) were established as legal organizations to support the programs of OUREI in Indonesia.
The goals of OURF and OUREII are to transform the attitudes and values of Indonesian people regarding the orangutan and its rain forest habitat such that they become the stewards of their forests and wildlife. Shapiro’s philosophy is to enroll the Indonesian people to become the educators. Shapiro’s efforts have lead to the establishment of Orangutan Caring Week in Indonesia as well as the Orangutan Caring Clubs of Indonesia.
Through OUREI, Shapiro facilitated the establishment of the Sumatran Orangutan Education Consortium, a group of Indonesian NGOs that assisted in putting on an education conference, workshop, and summit in Sumatra (2006). Shapiro administered an education program to reduce the human-orangutan conflict in Sumatra through the administration of US Fish & Wildlife (USFW) funds to the consortium members. He also co-administers a successful Indonesian scholarship program with two local NGOs. 130 Orangutan Caring Scholarships have been given out since 2006. Shapiro also oversees the LP Jenkins Fellowship for Orangutan Research, given in honor of his late mother, which has helped Indonesian and foreign graduate students in their field research. Additionally, through OURF, he administers the Mobile Education & Conservation Unit (MECU) with the Orangutan Caring Club of North Sumatra to bring human-orangutan conflict reduction programs, tree-planting and sustainable farming activities to villagers living near orangutan habitat. Seeking and implementing solutions of sustainability for local people through education and innovative collaborative projects is the key to saving Indonesia’s great red ape and other species.
Shapiro returns to Indonesia each year to facilitate OURF’s programs in Jakarta, Sumatra and Borneo. He also conducts ecotours to Borneo and Sumatra, and he is an avid SCUBA diver. Shapiro also lectures to audiences of all ages in both English and Bahasa Indonesia when he has the opportunity.
