Leslie Meehan, PhD

(Center for Subtle Activism Co-Founder, Project Council Chair)

Leslie grew up in a small town in upstate New York, happily meandering and snow sledding in the pastures behind her house. She hit the engineering highway through a Stanford MSEE and Silicon Valley management, with a couple round-the-world (de)tours along the way. She has graduated to joy and serenity in her integral life as a very active mom, energy healer, philosophy doctoral graduate, interspiritual minister, systems architect, and caring human being. It’s an amazing journey to be making school lunches, running with my dog, theorizing how healing works across eleven dimensions, and designing a website all in one morning; what a life! Leslie brings her whole cosmic being’s love and compassion and wisdom and pizzazz to her wisdom community subtle healing practice with forests, turtles, children, and all sentient beings. Namaste.

Bonnie Bell and David Todd

Bonnie Bell and David Todd are transformational artists whose calling is to create media that activate and nurture personal and planetary awakening. Guided by Source, we re-mix the code of Nature and the Cosmos into beautiful new forms. We marry words and sometimes sound to the images, and then charge these multi-dimensional creations with energetic blessings. Bell and Todd: Visions of an Uplifted World is an expression of our spiritual and creative partnership. We have collaborated with each other and the living planet for 20 years. We are married and live in North Florida.

We also work with our art-tools for the purposes of healing and place-healing. We create custom images encoded for people, businesses and non-profit organizations. We do readings from our oracle deck The GaiaStar Codex: Seeds of a Turned on World to empower those working for co-creative change. Every month we release a Blessing the Time-Wave video to deliver blessing-codes for aiding the world’s shift through the 2012 portal and beyond.

At our website, you can view over 200 of our energy-enhanced images as well as videos, blogs, publications, transmissions and the ongoing Blessings projects. Please visit www.BellandTodd.com Email: info@bellandtodd.com

Myra Jackson

Myra’s early work life in a family real estate business and later as an Engineer designing power distribution systems, Master Trainer and Organizational Development Professional appears to be a lifetime or more away from her current reality. A native Californian, born in Newport Beach as close to the ocean as one can get without being on a boat – it all seems like an omen – pointing to her current reality as a Mystic who evokes the sacred in all life and the ideas whose time has come.

Myra’s primary work is with The Zambuling Institute for Human Transformation founded by Alfredo Sfeir Younis. The institute is focused on bringing spirituality into public policy affecting human rights, the environment, and social justice. She came to the Gaiafield Council in 2008 in response to a mystical call by the Gaiafield’s David Nicol to help organize a WiseUSA subtle activism event in Washington DC and pass along an invite to Alfredo Sfeir Younis to participate in a call series in advance of the live event. Myra and Alfredo jumped in on all levels to organize and finance the east coast event. The rest is history as they say. Myra brings her decades of experience in philanthrophy, psycho-spiritual development, direct service and vajrayana buddhist practice into world service as a synthesis that grounds her subtle experiences into the material realm on planet earth.
