2010 One Gathering Featured Guests
As the world has been changing on many levels in it's ascension of consciousness, Jennifer Yost, MA, felt a strong calling in 2007, to expand her counseling and healing practice to a larger audience. She has been working in the healing arts of counseling and energy for 15 years. Jennifer feels that these are very transformative and pivotal times on the planet and would like to assist humanity in transcending this "birthing" into higher consciousness with as much grace and ease as possible. Her teachings of the illusions of fear and the power of love is what she spreads to all who wish to receive, to joyously come into this new "self" that is globally being born. She feels the healing group attunement offered to One Gathering attendees are essential to energetically integrate the program content, and allow the release of what no longer serves- in doing so, raising consciousness. As attendees walk away, it is intended that they are energetically calibrated to the new energies on the planet to better cope and adjust to what is taking place all over the world. "There is nothing to fear, when centered within the Truth of the heart." -Jennifer Yost

Carol Heywood was born with DNA that was equipped with a trigger to open her third eye that was activated by energies that brought in a new dawn of evolutionary awakening on Earth during the Harmonic Convergence in 1987. Her newly opened antenna allowed her to see and interact with multidimensional beings and served as a portal into the playground of the gods. There, among unlimited wonders, she found guides, masters, and angels that helped her deal with her rapidly expanding reality by providing information, comfort, unconditional love, and even romance. Prior to these events, Carol was a fairly normal Lutheran girl from Whittier, Calif., so this sudden exposure to the vastness of the universe that took her way beyond previous belief systems, blew her away. Journaling the experiences and painting scenes of her inner landscape helped her cope and then became material for her book, "Passionate Pinky And The Evolutionary Experiment." Carol receives constant updates regarding Earth’s evolutionary path and is shown the mechanisms of evolution in animated images, which allows her to study them and then be able to describe them in ways that are easy to understand. “It’s all about Love and connecting”, she says. Carol loves to share the positive and hopeful messages she is receiving and will reveal the latest updates in her talk “Going Up! Ascension and Beyond”.

Che oke’ ten (Paul Wagner), Native American flutist, drummer/singer and storyteller of the Saanich (Coast Salish) tribe, shares the beautiful songs and stories of his ancient northwest coast Sissiwiss ("sacred breath"/"sacred life") spirituality, in cultural presentations and ritual and public performances, in the United States and abroad. Che oke' ten comes from a lineage of Shneh'em, medicine people who have dedicated their lives to healing work using many tools, including music. He continues this work through traditional sound healing and ritual performance. Che oke' ten's Native American flute songs have come to him with visions of healing and prayer for all relations (tree people, animal people, human people). He believes music comes to us directly from Spirit; leaving yourself open to Spirit is the way; asking for the gifts to come so we can gift the music to those who need such blessings. Along with his traditional Native American flute, Che oke' ten also plays mbira from Zimbabwe, didgeridoo, Chipendani (Zimbabwean mouth bow), guitar, bass, trombone, drum and voice. Winner of Best Album in the 2009 Just Plain Folks music awards for Journey of the Spirit.

2009 One Gathering Featured Guests
As a psychotherapist and Reiki practitioner, Jennifer Yost felt a strong inner calling to take her work with individuals, to large groups of people at one time, to promote the concept and experience of one-ness. Jennifer received clarity and inner guidance in the Spring of 2007, and produced the first One Gathering in September 2007. As a Reiki Master, she not only wanted to leave Gathering attendees with practical ways to live as One, but to facilitate a massive group healing attunement based in the principals of Reiki and Quantum Healing. The intention of the attunement is to assist those in attendance to release what no longer serves them, allowing them to raise their energetic vibrational frequency to a higher, more joyous one, aligning them closer to the universal concepts presented and to their higher self. Jen's long term vision is to grow the One Gatherings to arena size venues across the world, creating grand scale healing waves of light to the masses and the planet.
