MARCH 2019

From Me to We:
Coming together to heal our global community

Guest Speaker: Ronit Herzfeld

FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 2019; 11AM – 12PM PST (2PM – 3PM EST)

Most of us in the healing field are deeply moved by the existential suffering around us and feel compelled to act in whatever way we can to alleviate the pain. Many of us are on the cutting edge and are able to create great impact, working individually. But, the demands of this moment require a radically new approach to bring about revolutionary healing on this planet. We need to meet this moment with a new level of cooperation, integrating our diverse experiences, talents and resources as never before.  We need to learn how to mimic the interdependence of Nature and participate in the dance of life.

Ronit Herzfeld

My vision is to forward humanity’s consciousness by intentionally accelerating the evolution of our brains, wisdom of our hearts and the creative power of our spirits.

I am an Integral psychotherapist and social activist devoted to alleviating human suffering by guiding people to live a conscious, open-hearted life.  From early childhood, I have been driven by a deep need to understand the drivers behind humanity’s capacity for both brilliant creativity and devastating destruction.

My lifelong inquiry into the workings of the human mind, heart and soul has taken me through psychiatric crisis and trauma, human rights activism, and corporate consultation. I have worked closely with the European Parliament and the Dalai Lama, and co-founded the Integral Institute, a think tank headed by the philosopher Ken Wilber.

In 2014, I began seeking partners on this journey and since then, I have co-evolved a community of diverse individuals who are deeply committed to authenticity, and to consciously transforming our relationships toward ourselves, each other and our planet.  We are pooling together our innate talents and material resources in the service of forging a truly caring, trusting and interdependent community (www.leapforward.us). Our members connect to and embrace our own and each other’s whole selves – our shadow and our light.

We are now co-creating technologies that integrate our lessons and experiences using the latest in neuroscience, psychology and spirituality to consciously evolve humanity and heal our planetary eco-system.

Gratitude as a Personal Virtue:

The Science and Practice of Gratitude

Guest Speaker: Paul Mills, PhD

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2019; 11AM – 12PM PST (2PM – 3PM EST)

Gratitude has been described as the greatest of virtues. Experiencing gratitude immediately shifts the perception of one’s experience as well as provides a foundation for its ongoing transformation. Gratitude opens the heart and helps eliminate the illusion of separation from life, opening our perception to the interconnectedness and oneness of all things. This webinar will review some of the current scientific research on gratitude and its growing recognition in our culture.

DECEMBER 2018

Can Healing be Imprinted?

Guest Speakers: William F. Bengston, PhD & Dean Radin, PhD

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2018; 11AM – 12PM PST (2PM – 3PM EST)

Today more than ever, people are realizing the limiting effects of trauma in their lives and finding their way through the rigors of trauma’s consequences to joyous wellbeing and renewed vitality. This webinar brings a scientific and spiritual approach to healing trauma, especially developmental trauma and how it impacts us in adulthood. The body has an innate organic intelligence, and when we create the right conditions, it will spontaneously move toward healing. Dr. Julie will explore how we can create these conditions, to heal some of the deeper consequences of developmental trauma, to find our most authentic expression of being.  We will explore the underlying yet intimate relationship between healing trauma and spirituality, while realizing the importance of accessing the body, the mind and biofield to transform aspects of trauma into embodied awareness, psychospiritual growth and a greater sense of aliveness and joy.

William Bengston, PhD

William is President of the Society for Scientific Exploration, an international group of scientists who study anomalies. Dr. Bengston’s research has produced the first successful full cures of transplanted mammary cancer and methylcholanthrene induced sarcomas in mice by energy healing techniques that he helped to develop, and also investigated assorted correlates to healing such as EEG and fMRI entrainment, and geomagnetic micropulsation anomalies in healing space.

Dean Radin, PhD

Dean Radin, PhD, is Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and Associated Distinguished Professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies. He earned an MS in electrical engineering and a PhD in psychology from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

SEPTEMBER

Information from the “Field”: Healer and Scientist Perspectives on the Biofield

Guest Speakers: Eileen Day McKusick and Richard Hammerschlag

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2018; 11AM – 12PM PST (2PM – 3PM EST)

Nearly every healer reports sensing valuable, clinically-relevant information from the human biofield, including emotional patterns related past experiences.  Healers often use “information from the field” to guide their healing.

How does this work, from a healer’s and scientist’s perspective?

In this CHI Webinar, healer Eileen McKusick (author, “Tuning the Human Biofield”) shares the wisdom afforded to her from over 20 years of experience as a healer, including the use of sound for healing, and deducing information from the field, culminating in her “Biofield Anatomy Map”.  CHI Research Co-Director Dr. Richard Hammerschlag also reports on cutting-edge research that CHI is currently conducting, to explore scientifically, the veracity of healer claims on field information.

Thanks to Miraglo Foundation for their support of the CHI Webinar series.
