Carrie brings extensive knowledge of body-mind-spirit relationships to assist the transformation of physical imbalances, pain, stress and limiting beliefs into the personal empowerment of spiritual awakening.

I heartfully recommend Carrie and her Ascension Light Matrix as an inspired resource for you to avail yourself of as a quantum step in your own evolution." - Bill Bauman

Sharon Heller
Trainer/Mentor
About 8 years ago, Sharon Heller stopped talking about her profound 1977 near-death experience in the past tense, as if something miraculous once upon a time, long ago, happened to her. She decided to live in the miraculous moment and to become who she was during her NDE, an immense being of Light and Love, and a representative of the Divine on Earth, in other words, her true Self. Today, she demonstrates and teaches, “Thrivalism” in her life and through her roles as CSL trainer/mentor, Waldorf educator, Brain Gym National Faculty and MNRI (Masgutova Method) Core Specialist.
Accidental Mystic, Sharon Heller’s “breakthrough” novel answers two deeply spiritual questions: Who am I really? If I become that, what will become of me? It is a healing and teaching tale in which the hero, Michael, gets stuck in the western Colorado wilderness, where he encounters a mysterious older woman, Rose. Her presence, as she recounts her near-death experience and its after-effects, initiates Michael through several intense mystical experiences. When the transformed Michael returns to his everyday life with new understanding, perceptions and a sense of mission to prevent the prophecies he learned from Rose, he struggles to find balance between his new powerful truth and the known and familiar sameness of his marriage and job. The book is a hero’s journey to reconcile the divine with the ordinary.
At this time, Accidental Mystic is only available as an ebook. It can be downloaded through Smashwords for Kindle, Sony readers and other formats and through Barnes & Noble for the Nook. Visit www.sharonheller.com.

Jac Watson
Trainer/Mentor, Minister
Healing work: Jac began his healing studies in the late 90s by receiving several attunements in Reiki, to the Master’s level, and in an ancient healing art from Egypt called Sekem/Seichim. He also was trained and certified in Jin Shin Jyutsu. After training with Dr Eric Pearl, Jac gained extensive experience in The Reconnection and Reconnective Healing, being qualified both to mentor and to assist in training other practitioners. He offers his healing to family, friends and the general public.
Inner Journey: Jac spent roughly 12 years learning meditation and Hatha Yoga while practicing Siddha Yoga, with Gurumayi, a Siddha Guru, as Spiritual Teacher. He and his late wife completed the training to become CSL Trainer/Mentors and Ministers. Jac is adept at teaching, having taught in several universities part time over his military career, and for three years at the US Naval Academy. He has given many meditation seminars around the Washington DC and Baltimore communities, and in other parts of the US.
Soulful Ministry: From weddings, to births, to rites of passage, to family rituals and ceremonies, his training in Soulful Living qualifies him to enrich lives.

It is important to the closeness of a family to have a sense of ceremony and ritual, to make the important events in each life Sacred: to make them important beyond what is normally granted. Jac's work is usually non-denominational, and all beliefs are welcomed and honored. His connection to Spirit is strongly tied to Nature in all its aspects.
