| Julie Johnson |
Nourish Me: how to eat at 6,000 feet on the 45th parallel Julie Johnson will discuss the benefits to one's self, and the community at large, of consuming locally grown organic foods. She will also cover the health benefits of consuming traditional raw milk fermentation products - the main food stays of the high mountains in Italy, Switzerland and France, where she lived for many years. When she first arrived in France she didn't drink alcohol or eat dairy products or meat, as she’d suffered in her childhood from being lactose intolerant. But that slowly changed as she found that she was able to digest raw cheese products, and she will share this insight during her presentation. + Expand |
After studing homeopathy and nutrition at Jon Bastry College for Naturopathic Remedies in Seattle, Julie moved to the remotest and most impoverished set of villages left in the French Alps. The winter storms were fierce, and she learned a lot about surviving with style in the mountains, starting with food: one eats everything from eggs from Monique's barn to cured goat cheeses made at neighboring farms. After moving back to Ketchum (with a six-year-old child who didn’t like American food), Julie opened NourishMe in Ketchum, a healthfood store and cafe that showcases, educates, and sells the products of Idaho's Bounty, along with local farmers who grow food without pesticides, hormones, antibiotics or GMO feed. Julie believes that wellness for our bodies turns out to be wellness for our surrounding environment - wellness of body begins wholeness of spirit. - Reduce |

| Uzzi Reiss, M.D. |
Hormonal Optimization for Anti Aging In this presentation Dr. Reiss will discuss the essential need for hormonal use for both men and women. He will address why they are so safe, why the voice of negativity has no scientific proof, and why hormones lead to a healthy and balanced life. CEU credit is available for this presentation. + Expand |
From the very start of his clinical practice twenty years ago, Dr. Uzzi Reiss' objective has been to help patients correct lifestyle mistakes from the past, overcome symptoms in the present, and move forward to a healthier future. He accomplishes this with individualized programs of natural hormones, nutrition and mind/body principles. In the early 1980s he began adopting innovative 'alternative' methods in his obstetrical-gynecological practice. He soon found that the approach gave patients powerful options with which to maximize health while minimizing the need for pharmaceuticals and surgery. In 1982, he opened the first Pre Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) health center that was aimed to resolve this condition by a natural, hormonal approach. A decade later, when the exciting field of anti-aging medicine emerged, Dr. Reiss was among the first physicians participating in courses and applying the new research in his practice. In 1997, Dr. Reiss opened the Beverly Hills Anti-Aging Center, and began seeing male patients as well. It was a natural expansion of his prevention-oriented practice for women. Two years later he became board-certified in anti-aging medicine by the American Association of Anti-Aging Medicine, one of the first physicians to earn this distinction. Dr. Reiss does more than prescribe pills for his patients’ symptoms, he also emphasizes prevention, searches for the causes of problems, and works with patients to optimize their health. He believes that a physician should be as concerned about improving the health of patients as in treating illness. To achieve these goals the doctor should use the most effective and the least invasive tools available, and which cause the least possible side effects. Dr. Reiss has written four books. In Natural Hormone Balance for Women, he draws on his many years of clinical experience, providing a step-by-step program for women of all ages who want to take control of their lives by restoring hormonal balance. In How to Make a Pregnant Woman Happy, he addresses how to prevent the challenges of pregnancy nutritionally. How to Make a New Mother Happy teaches how to overcome the challenges of the post period, including post partum depression, with nutrient and natural hormones. The Natural Superwoman is an informative encyclopedia that supplies scientific data on the value, the safety, and the significant benefits of nutrients and natural hormones in our society today and any age. Dr. Reiss was born in Haifa, Israel, and studied at the University of Siena, Italy. He received his medical degree from the Institute of Technology in Haifa and did his internship and residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the Afula Medical Center in Israel. He completed his U.S. residency at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx Municipal Hospital, New York and was the Chief Resident of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from 1979-80. In 1980 he completed a fellowship in fetal-maternal medicine at the University of California Medical Center, Los Angeles. Since then he has been in private practice in Beverly Hills, specializing in gynecology, obstetrics, and anti-aging medicine. He has been an attending physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center since 1981. - Reduce |

Participants will explore some of the material demonstrating the brain’s awe-inspiring ability to change. Participants will learn how to make neuroplasticity work to their benefit, how to regulate their autonomic nervous system to stay in the optimal arousal zone, how to read their Brain—Body Compass, and how to make neurochoices that will enhance their wellness. As the fields of Neuropsychology and Neuroscience have uncovered the structures and magnificent functions of the human brain, we are beginning to understand how to live in alignment with our goals in a way that most effectively enhances brain function. This presentation will offer useful insights into how you can manage your own brain for manifesting your potential. + Expand |

We each inhabit a unique role and costume that we wear to express our unique character on the stage of life. When we live out this role, we meet our life purpose, which is achieved and expressed as a result of authentic living.The Human Design System is the foundation of a revolutionary new perspective for individuals and humanity as a whole.

| Robert Taylor |
How to Integrate A New Way to Be Human Robert V. Taylor will guide participants through several of the seven spiritual pathways for A New Way to Be Human, revealing an integrated body, mind and spirit way of being. Discover that your self-described doubts and even larger fears are an invitation to move beyond those fears, into a place of enormous love, compassion and impact. "The old way of being human accepts the cynicism of the world with a resigned, bystander-victim mentality about life," says Taylor. “But the new way of being human reveals spiritual truths about the Holy in your life, egging you on to discover how your stories connect to those you might least expect.”
Learn practices for a life of compassionate purpose in which your oneness with the Universe, Creation and others reveal that A New Way to Be Human is possible because our lives are at stake. CEU credit is available for this presentation. |

He is Chair of the Desmond Tutu Peace Foundation in New York, and founding Chair of the Committee to End Homelessness in King County, Washington. He is a graduate of Rhodes University, South Africa and Union Theological Seminary, New York. A native of Cape Town, South Africa, Taylor was sent to the United States by his mentor, Nobel Laureate and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, in 1980 to avoid imprisonment for his anti-apartheid activity. There, Taylor served in the Diocese of New York from 1983 to 1999, helping to build a community social service center offering HIV/AIDS programs to veterans and people of color, in-home services for the elderly, day care for children of single parent families, and a community music education initiative.

Praise for A New Way to Be Human : "Robert Taylor shares his remarkable life story in his book, A New Way to Be Human. He eloquently illustrates that when we have the courage to open our hearts we are capable of living an authentic life of gratitude.”

The Astrology of 2012: Evolve or Dissolve
The much anticipated year of 2012 is upon us with many of the world’s traditions, including astrology, pointing to this being a time of a major shift in the background energy field we all dwell within. Two of the planetary giants, Uranus and Pluto, square off with each other 7 times over the next three years, bringing their irreconcilable differences to a head and charging the collective field with uncertainty and the awareness that change is imminent. This represents a collective karmic adjustment cycle and our choices are to evolve or dissolve; spiral up or spiral down. This talk is for the general public and will not be fear- based, there is already plenty of that. David will focus on ways to align with the energy and stay reasonably centered during these turbulent times. + Expand |

The Oneness Meditation - A Meditation of Divine Energies The journey of awakening is the journey of the Kundalini, which is a latent spiritual energy at the base of your spine. All ancient cultures and paths understood that to move into higher states of consciousness, one needed to have their Kundalini awakened. Seekers of awakening sought out great masters and awakened beings to receive Blessing/Energy transfers that would initiate this process. This Blessing to awaken and divinely guide the Kundalini is called "Deeksha".
The Oneness University in southern India is a very special and well respected spiritual that specializes in giving this Deeksha to anyone who has a passion to awaken. Oneness Guide Doug Bentley will join us from India to share this powerful Silent Oneness Meditation Blessing/Deeksha. He will be meditating to allow the Divine energies to flow, thus giving a very powerful Deeksha to participants in order to awaken the spiritual energies that result in an accelerated process of awakening. Come and experience this rare, unique Blessing that is being given to humanity at this time period to help with the great awakening of our species. See a video about Doug Bentley and Oneness Meditation here. |
Oneness Guide Doug Bentley lives in southern India at Oneness University, a spiritual school focused on awakening the spiritual energies in people through the benediction of grace called Deeksha. Originally from the Washington DC area, Doug moved to India after feeling deeply called to serve the vision of transforming humanity in this great age of awakening. - Reduce |

| Konstantin Kaysharov |
Divine Aspirations Konstantin will begin this presention with a 15 minute animated film showing the world at an energy level, presenting the anatomy of the energy system of the human being and presenting the human aura, chakras, meridians, and nadis. The film also explains spiritual immunity, how the prayer The Holy Whisper builds spiritual immunity, how the soul comes into the human being, what the spiritual heart is, chakras and how they look, and how a person with an illness looks at an energy level, showing the auras of different illnesses or conditions. The animation movie is based on the experiences and the world seen on an energy level by the innate gift of Konstantin Kaysharov, spiritual teacher of The Holy Whisper Teaching and author of The Holy Whisper - Advanced Level.
Konstantin will then address the theme of “Divine Aspiration.” Divine Aspiration is the choice of the being to grow into the Divine insights and blessings. Divine Aspirations provide constancy in Faith, Hope and Love toward God. They come from the innate longing of the being to surrender to the Divine guidance, alongside the inexplicable experiences of the mind, and embark on a wonderful journey of the soul of the devoted ones. This choice brings a flow of Divine Love and in that way people are able to forgive themselves and the others, to accept the imperfectness, to repent although they know they haven’t done anything wrong, to be humble although they maybe know more than others. These are the four principles of The Holy Whisper Teaching based on Christ Consciousness and Principle, and by experiencing and putting them into practice, people are building spiritual immunity or aura with Divine Energy that protects them from anything; harm, illness or imbalance on every level. To book a private consultation with Konstantin Kaysharov, please call Sun Valley Events at (208) 726-2777. |
Konstantin Kaysharov is from Macedonia. He is a humble human being with powerful innate Divine gift to heal people, help them find the essence of their existence, to discover the reasons of their illnesses and neutralize them so they can focus on sublime goals. He has treated more than 120,000 patients during the past 10 years with energy healing therapies, starting when he was just twenty years old.
Gifted with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, Konstantin is modest servant to humanity and he is channeling the creative Divine energy, Christ consciousness, in many ways in order to spread the Divine Word and messages to everyone. His mission is to initiate the self-healing mechanisms within people, and to awaken their spiritual qualities: humanity, grace, humbleness, forgiveness, repentance, and to open their spiritual hearts to live in constant Love. He says that when we are in constant Love, we vibrate on higher levels thus the illness or imbalances cease to exist on all levels of the being.
With his Teaching - The Holy Whisper - his deeds, the books that he has channeled (11 books), the healing energy therapies and seminars, his music interpretation of sublime subtle messages (4 spiritual music albums), Konstantin as a spiritual teacher initiates towards the Spiritual Evolution and transformation of the humanity.
Konstantin has a Masters Degree in Kinesitherapy from the Centre for Healing and Spiritual Development in Skopje, Macedonia where he treats patients, but his primary goal is to teach everyone to help themselves by initiating Love in their hearts. www.konstantin.com.mk - Reduce |
