Stephanie Mines PhDStephanie shares her personal investigations and clinical research into how the brain networks experiences of spiritual guidance alongside her understanding of the neurophysiology of receiving and transmitting it. Clear guidance is differentiated from intuition or occasional psychic hunches. It is an integrated, holistic neurochemical phenomenon that forever transforms the individual who experiences it, recalibrating their nervous system.

Margaret Elphinstone
“Speaking to the Animals about the Hunt”
Our technological inventiveness has outstripped our social and psychological development. We cannot handle the world we have created. This talk will seek lessons from our distant ancestors who knew they must listen to the Earth and the Animals to keep the balance right. We must rediscover and apply their skills if we are to survive.
Bio: Margaret addresses these issues in her writing, in both fiction and non-fiction. Her most recent novel, The Gathering Night, examines the life ways of hunter gatherers living sustainably 8000 years ago, an implicit commentary on our times.
