Ann E. Hastings (left) is a channel and lawyer. She offers herself in service as a conscious channel, bringing through the teachings of Vywamus and "The Teachers." Their focus is the practice of self-acceptance and helping us become aware of the true nature of reality. She offers a practical approach we can bring to everyday life. She works energetically and through the teachings. Ann has been channeling for over 8 years and brings a deep commitment to her inner work as well as her service to others.
Ann has also been actively engaged in the practice of law for over 12 years. To this endeavor she brings her commitment to a mindful way of life and an appreciation for inter-beingness to a field that is adversarial by nature.
Ann has taken the Buddhist precepts with Thich Nhat Hanh and practices vipassana meditation. She has a special connection to all things furry, feathered, hard-shelled, soft-shelled; whether two-legged, four-legged, eight-legged or those of a thousand legs. She also has a particular fondness for crystals and all members of the rock clan.
Patricia A. Burke, MSW, (right) author of Breathe Deeply! Healing Stories For The Soul, is a poet, storyteller, teacher and psychotherapist. She draws from a diversity of psychological, spiritual, and creative arts including poetry, mythology, storytelling, writing practice, soul psychology, transpersonal psychology, body-process psychotherapy, Pathwork process, breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, and spiritual inquiry integrating them into an holistic psychotherapy practice.
Patricia has been on the faculty of the Rutgers University Summer School of Alcohol and Drug Studies since 1989. She is a member of the New York Region Pathwork, a spiritual and teaching community dedicated to disseminating and living the teachings of the Guide, a spirit channelled by Eva Pierrakos from 1957 until her death in 1979.
Patricia tends the perennial beds and has a particular affinity with all things that sway in the breeze and are rooted in the deep moistness of the Earth Mother. She flies with hummingbird and finds refuge in the dark stillness of lava tubes on the "Big Island" of Hawaii. From the mysterious depths of Pele's fiery womb, Patricia draws strength and inspiration for her artistry with words.

Both Ann and Patricia have had numerous close encounters of the miraculous kind with dolphins; swimming with them at a research facility in Key Largo, Florida and in the open ocean off Key West.
The dolphins have taught us much about our inextricably deep connection with all living beings. They have also taught us a great deal about the miracles that can happen when you bring full consciousness (as they do) to the breath and have generally inspired, awed, tickled (literally) and delighted. We are grateful for their curiosity and generosity.
Let's not forget to mention our domestic family of furry friends. Click here for a view of our family album.
