Dr. Bruce Lipton
Biologist and author, Dr. Bruce Lipton reveals the fundamental scientific principles for matter in resonance, explaining why mantras work.
“Mantra chanting raises our vibration, raises our consciousness, and while you are doing it, you are not thinking…. You are using your subconscious mind which learns through repetition. If you do a mantra practice once, you don’t experience change, but if you have a regular practice the repetition will write a new brain program…. If you are doing a mantra with the energy of love and harmony, the pattern ingrains on your subconsciousness and your energy field. This is why the practice is so important – it infuses the energy field to the point where someone who has never practiced mantra can walk into the field and feel the energy and harmony of the practice.”
Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., cell biologist and lecturer, is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Bruce was on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and later performed groundbreaking stem cell research at Stanford University. He is the bestselling author of The Biology of Belief, The Honeymoon Effect, and co- author with Steve Bhaerman of Spontaneous Evolution. Bruce received the 2009 prestigious Goi Peace Award (Japan) in honor of his scientific contribution to world harmony.

Gina Salā
Vocalist demonstrates the raw power of the voice's healing power in a candid, heartwarming sharing.
"When we really lean in and start to get to know our voice, start to make space for it, there is so much love and wisdom. In every single person. Some of my best songs kept coming out of giving voice to whatever’s arising - emotion and energy - and then listening for the response. The loving response is so beautiful and it is in every single one of us.”

Sheela Bringi
Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist shares her passion for the Indian traditions of mantra and music.
"I feel really strongly that music is one of the most powerful ways that we can communicate with each other.
What I find people are yearning for are tools to move greater into presence… Into letting the mind fall into the heart, expressing themselves through their voice, and feeling like the voice is connected to something greater.
Music is one of the most powerful ways that we humanize each other and foster greater empathy, and therefore more peace.”
