Ishtar Gonzalez is an Intuitive Psychotherapist, Ascension Guide, Kundalini Yoga Teacher, High Priestess, Quantum Healer & Divine Channel. She is a wayshower; bestowed with divine remembrance in the overlighting of Christos and awakened to her cosmic encodings as starseed & multi- dimensional healer. Ishtar embodies many facets of the god.dess and as a devotee she walks a noble path of  love, creativity, & service. Ishtar attended Douglass College at Rutgers University for her undergraduate studies. At this time, she became privy to the great discrepancies in History; fascinated by the Latin American, Caribbean & Africana studies that she pursued.  She was deeply affected by the lack of acknowledgement & reverence for the communities that reflected essential parts of who she was; a person of color and a woman. It was the echoes of these classes united with her own story that shaped her life's calling. As such, at the ripe age of 22, as an advanced scholar,  she was accepted to pursue a Phd in Anthropology. Yet, decided to follow the loud whispers of her heart &  walked out of orientation. She walked away from the promise of a doctorate and took a year off to volunteer in different soup kitchens in some of  the most impoverished neighborhoods of New York city. Her commitment was to tend to the garden, to her community directly and with devotion. This led to her pursuing a Masters in Clinical Social work which she obtained from New York University in 2006. Ishtar served the underprivileged & marginalized communities in NYC for 15 years, working one on one and in group settings with a full spectrum of mental health issues as well as complex trauma. She focused on the youth but has vast experience working with adults and the elderly. She was dedicated to advocacy for those in need & focused on bringing inspiration & possibilities to those who were in lack. As she immersed herself in the world of psychology, her spiritual sphere also grew. After her personal transcendent experiences, she became certified in the White Tantra path of  Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan at the Golden Bridge in Soho. She also co-founded a collective known as Meraki whose mission was to offer sacred space via spiritual retreats and an array of esoteric based workshops to an eclectic community of seekers, mystics and artists. Ishtar was called forth by the divine feminine. She was activated in the womb mysteries by the lineage of Isis- Auset. Years later she would be initiated in the Order of the Rose, she now walks the path of devotion within the overlighting of Sophia.  Amongst a plethora of clinical studies, certifications, and training, Ishtar is also certified as a trauma healer both in Trauma Informed CBT as well as Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy. Born in Venezuela, educated in New York where she currently still resides and works she continues to support clients from many walks of life through sacred transformation. Her private practice is a fusion of intuitive psychotherapy as well as quantum offering to support the individual & the collective.

My name is Kathryn Holeton. I am a Brand Designer for musicians and writers based in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was a musician and writer for many years but found I had a knack for brand design when I was finishing up my Bachelor's in Professional and Technical Communication. After I graduated, I worked in several industries, most notably music, poetry, and publishing, which you can read about in "My Creations." One thing I found consistently lacking was the conversation of having a brand. No one was actively discussing this important step in the creative industries, and it annoyed me. My mission is to help musicians and writers create a brand that supports their creative practice. Because you deserve to be successful, you deserve to grow. Your work deserves to be heard and seen.

Camilla Wellton is the creator of I AWAKE, a multidisciplinary body of work born from a simple but lifelong question: What helps us become more fully ourselves? Blending neuroscience, psychology, embodied practice, philosophy, systems thinking, and design, I AWAKE explores how the body, emotions, imagination, creativity, and relationships shape the way we grow, make decisions, and experience the world. Rather than treating personal growth as something that happens only in the mind, her work invites people to reconnect with the intelligence of the whole human being. This perspective has been shaped as much by decades of embodied practice as by Camilla’s background in design. Before founding The Sensual Institute, she built an internationally recognized sustainable fashion company celebrated for combining mathematics, science, and design, earning multiple international awards and recognition as one of Sweden’s leading fashion innovators. Camilla continues to expand the universe of I AWAKE while helping define the emerging field of Inner Tech, exploring how technology can support, rather than diminish, what makes us deeply human. She is the inventor of a patent-pending modular AI architecture inspired by the principles of I AWAKE, extending its approach to embodied learning, reflective practice, and human development into the digital age. Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Camilla writes and speaks about metacognition, human capacity, embodiment, Inner Tech, and the future relationship between people and technology. “The next technology revolution is not about building smarter machines.

John is the creator of the E9 Mastery System, an execution-based transformation framework designed to eliminate inertia, rewire identity, and convert insight into real-world action. He built E9 for those who are done with motivation, tired of theory, and ready to reclaim control through relentless behavioural execution. With a background spanning behavioural strategy, system architecture, and personal transformation, John’s work goes far beyond productivity. His mission is to dismantle the internal resistance that keeps people stuck, not by inspiring change, but by engineering it. John’s professional history includes high-level consulting and lecturing in the Middle East, where he advised military and government security organisations on applied psychological disciplines, negotiation strategy, and hostile negotiation. As a psychotherapist, he works with a multi-disciplined approach—integrating identity, behaviour, and deep transformation into one cohesive model. His journey began not from success, but from years of navigating through identity loss, internal misalignment, and the frustration of knowing more than he was executing. E9 was born from that struggle and forged into a system designed to help others break the same cycle. Unlike traditional self-help models, E9 is designed to be non-optional. It’s built as a weapon, forged through psychological clarity, grounded action, and ruthless self-honesty. John’s work is now followed by leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, and high performers around the world who want more than advice; they want transformation. He is currently an executive contributor for Brainz Magazine and the founder of E9 Systems, with a vision to reach over 100,000 users globally. His core belief: execution is not just action, it’s identity reclaiming itself.

In 2008, Angela Kearney decided to change her life, stepping away from a demanding 20-year career in corporate media. On a whim, she started managing a Cuban salsa band and soon after, joined Airbnb during their early expansion into London. Angela hosted a steady stream of guests, allowing her the freedom to travel regularly between London, Havana, and Moscow. During this period of personal growth and self-discovery, tragedy struck. In 2012, Angela’s mother passed away suddenly, leaving her overwhelmed with grief. The new chapter she had begun felt as though it had come to an abrupt end. Conventional medications and therapies proved ineffective, so Angela began seeking safe, natural ways to restore her mental and emotional peace. Already familiar with Bach Flower Remedies, she was also drawn to Reiki. But it wasn’t until two Bengal kittens came into her life that everything changed. At 18 months old, the male cat was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy. Veterinary advice was entirely prescription-based, but alongside her own challenges, Angela sought a safe, gentle, and holistic solution for her cat. And so, her healing journey began... Angela is a Registered Animal Healer, Reiki Master Practitioner, Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner, and Pet Bereavement Counsellor.
