ROB EISING

My life is forming as I live it, explore it, evaluate and refine it. So, what to say about that evolving story?

The first instrument I discovered at a very young age was our family breakfast table.  With my little spoon I hit all things standing on that table; plates, glasses, cups, jars with metal or plastic caps, the cheese, fruits,  the wicker basket, everything in the district...

Both the sound that each object reflected back to me, as the variance of vibration in the spoon that my hand could sense was a gift, transferring a message: this is my nature.

Is music the artful translation of the expression that things, liveforms, plants, animals, humans, that creation is feeding us with, in every connective exchange we dare to engage with?

CHRISSIE J. BROOKS

As a child with a curious mind, there were many questions, and as growing realized we were as a world living in a culminating time heading towards something.

There was and still is a love of the natural worlds, the quiet places, where essence can be sensed, the mystery of the night sky and of stars alongside.

There is a simplicity to living, and one of my joys is to reflect to others the brightness of themselves, particularly when dulled - to encourage the best whether as a therapist or as a friend. For, in responding to need, it is to find oneself in use looking towards a greater life, which is something that for me compels.

NIGEL GEEVES

I’ve always been driven to look beneath the surface, to question how things work. This led me to be a scientist in my early years. I loved how, by observation and reflection, I could come to understand the underlying laws and see the simplicity that gives rise to life’s multiplicity of expression.

I came to know that whilst we cannot see life directly, that there was a stable platform of natural order through which all life expresses itself.  Further, I realized that we humans are not completely bound by the network of established law. What is the meaning and significance of finding oneself to be human with faculties of consciousness and choice? We humans are each unique, but how can we embrace the power of difference in harmonic pursuit of becoming fit for purpose?

ALEXANDER LOVE

Twenty years ago, my father was murdered. This thrust me into a journey of exploring the heart of human suffering and how it is that you and I heal. I wondered, does pain have a purpose? And if so, what is it?

Over the last two decades, I have held this question while working with individuals and groups as a developmental coach, shadow resolution practitioner and acupuncturist. I have found time and time again that pain does indeed have a purpose. It is the brilliant treasure which allows fragmentation to discover its wholeness. Through embracing pain, human beings step through a doorway into deep fulfillment, purpose and meaning.

I knew immediately that I wanted to participate and contribute, not just as a client but also as therapist and teacher. I’ve been exploring and following that instinct ever since.

Perhaps, then, one can become part of the living process, which sets one free to go out into the world and discover what is new, what is needed, and ask the question: How can I help?

RIVKA ZEHAVI ZACK

AUD WILKEN

To be in charge of the sensitive machinery that can feel, think, listen, absorb, know, and create. To come to know Life more intimately. To offer response - perhaps with music or poetry - to what is being felt and witnessed. How to best tune oneself to accurately translate and be with all of this without shrinking it? To offer it one’s best, with great trust in the senses and by practicing often - alone, and with others - to give voice to Life as it moves in and through and between us all.

Many small offerings, so more beauty, more truth and more goodness can land and grow.

AVSHALOM ZACK

Thus, the quest for its purpose, meaning and fulfillment became a central theme of my life.

Shared with fellow pilgrims in exploring the human potential, and with gratitude and care towards Mother Earth, the well being of her many dwellers and the future.

MONA MARTIN

It drove me to set my feet on a path to find out how things work, what caused them, how are they connected…

How did they happen, what does it mean for the human being, how did we get to where we are today - and where exactly are we today?

…… a delightful pathway of discovery that does not end.

DON GIULIANO

JESSICA WAPNER

Here we are, on this incredible blue ball, floating in space, in a vast universe, and yet we spend so much of our time tied up with small and fleeting matters.

I love asking the big questions and exploring them with others. There is so much to understand, to feel, to know, to imagine, to wonder about.

RON LINGARD

In my personal reflections I like to frame this sometimes elusive quality of being human in terms of being ever more conscious of becoming a spiritual resource, for one thing has become very clear to me which is that human work is a work in progress.

KAREN HENEY

Creativity has always been integral, with an endeavour to create visual interpretations of concepts as practical activities. The intention behind a current project is to broaden the paths of relevance and meaning for others to access and explore.

TREVOR WINN

And now it is to feel useful, to share experience, to have good conversation, to explore what provides life and how that works, my relationship and partnership with myself, the planet, and beyond, being in the quest of being in the place that enables truths to be perceived, connections to be made, remaining open to the requirements of these times in which for me, attitude and sentiment are core elements.

DR. ALAN LITCHFIELD

Also, being born of Māori (Ngāti Whatua, Te Rarawa, Ngāpuhi, Tainui) descent provides approaches and constructs that differ from the typically accepted western world view. This includes how a person relates to their environment, family, their past, present, and future, and the interrelationships that exist through all levels of self.

MIRIAM ABRAHAMSON

There was so much beauty and softness yet so much cruelty and pain.

Since then, I am still researching this unique gift of being human, working towards establishing life- aligned- education for children, and for all…

I believe that within the search of what our human existence is about, are the answers to how we should best proceed in these times of great possibility sided by the breakdown and crisis that we are experiencing all over the world.

PATRICK SUMMERS

I also began to sense what might be called the special places within, the inner lives and capabilities that can help us perceive and connect to finer sources of light and healing and knowledge all around us. Across the planet and into the universe; we’re all connected.

AMOS EDELSTEIN

DAPHNE NEVERAS-LUPFER

I started exploring religion and developing my search for truth and meaning during my teen years when I first attended Catholic Mass. My inquiries have since taken two pivotal turns: when a former colleague introduced me to the Unity movement and when I discovered the writings of Thich Nhat Hanh and the precepts of Buddhism.

LIZ HALTER

Another level of this passion has been a lifelong quest to find the way of the natural human. I found that there is a tendency to want to go back to the earth, or to the ways of the ancients. While there is certainly wisdom to be carried forward, it isn’t really possible to go back, and it isn’t really the answer.

We need new ways for new times and I believe we as humans are equipped to discover the ways that will allow us to live authentically, in harmony, with purpose and hope in today’s world.

I'm beginning to love all that I have yet to know about, to discover... from the moment we're born we've been pushing back space for ourselves: our thoughts, feelings, God, Creation, the Universe. We're in a crowded world, living crowded lives, and we're making space for moments.

KYRIAKI NIKANDROU

Some years down the line, I still do. I am seeking to be in conversation with others in search for keys, for tools of understanding and application and for the real questions, the ones that become portals to contemplative journeys, leading to uncharted territories that feel like home.

I believe we are on a trajectory of multiple and unpredictable changes; it is up to each one of us to rise to the challenge of our times. Now, more than ever before, is the time to be true to ourselves and fulfill our potential.

JOSE LEAL

After 13 years in the industry, I struggled to maintain my sense of self. I had lost sight of who I was. On a tearful flight back to Toronto from another round of layoffs, I decided to quit it all.

Since then, I’ve worked with humans in different capacities (teaching philosophy, and now in working as a counselor). I’ve learned a lot about the mind and the heart.

Life’s mysteries still fascinate and astound me… while I continue to ask, why are we here?!

And so my life wrapped itself around the path that those questions created.

My journey took me to many places, external and internal, and the more I go on, I know I am only scratching the surface.

Since I was a small child, I have always been searching for what's real and irrefutable. Not prepared to settle for the answers that others chose to give me, I set out to find out for myself why I'm here and what I'm here to do; what I'm part of and how I can honour my part in it.

I believe every life has a song to sing, and we can each discover our unique combination of notes from the talents, skills, perceptions and passions that each life is gifted with.

LISA MARCUS

At home, we were always encouraged to ask the more enigmatic questions of life. Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where will I go at the end of my life? And the biggest question of all, What is my part to play in the great canvas of life?

Enchanted by the many different cultures and peoples from around the world, during my youth I traveled through my trusty Encyclopedia Britannica. Then came the wondrous day that I was able to travel by airplane. Committed to being a "Champion of Warmth," I continue my travels and interactions with others from all around the world, as together we create a "bouquet of humanity;" one that connects and offers companionship as we step into the future.
