Maria Liberti Culinary and Artisian Tours

As a former international supermodel, Maria Liberati never dreamed that she would go from being a fashion diva to a domestic diva. Ironically, while jet setting off to modeling assignments around the world, Maria became closer to the simplicity of life and food in the country setting of her family’s vineyard in the mountains of central Italy. She began to experience the real tastes of food that she knew from her childhood. Maria was spotted by international artist Sergio Terzi (known as Nerone) and was asked to sit for a portrait at his studio in the Emilio-Romagna region of Italy. While sitting for this portrait, the months lingered on and Maria found herself spending more and more time at Nerone’s family farm nearby. During her time there, she studied the art of making the famed Parmigiana-Reggiano cheese. When the painting was finished, it was exhibited all throughout the world including the Metropolitan Museum of Art where the painting and the artist were honored at a special ceremony for the contributions of Italians to the World. Take a culinary tour to Umbria Italy, the green heart of Italy, with Maria Liberati. www.marialiberati.com

Cheating Death with Mat Stein

In Mat Stein's words, "I have been pushing the envelope since I was a small child and nearly drowned when I was 5 or six years old. Water in the lungs, could not swim, in water over well my head, loosing strength , lunging off lake bottom reaching for the dock and falling far short, was giving up when voice in my head said "give it one more try". On last shot, I literally sailed out of the water, grabbed the dock and pulled my self to safety and life. I should have been dead a dozen times in my life, but each time it was as if a guardian angel pushed, shoved, or nudged me in the right direction to save my life: 2) At age 11 slipped and fell in front of a car on an icy road. Skidded to a stop with the car's wheel resting against my head. 3) Age 16 in severe car wreck squeezed between two snow plows on the freeway..."

Lynn Saunders Surviving the Jungles of Equador

In Lynn Saunder's words,"I have a pretty good survival story from November 2008 involving a plane crash in the very remote jungles of Ecuador. I was doing some ecological engineering consulting at a remote jungle ecolodge that is accessed only by plane or a several day canoe ride. The day of the crash, I was leaving the lodge to catch another flight to the capital Quito and then to fly home to Chicago the following day. I was riding up front in the little 4-seater Cessna with the captain; the other two passengers consisted of my field assistant and an Achuar resident and employee of the ecolodge. (The Achuar are an indigenous people in whose territory the ecolodge is located) . We were several hundred feet above the forest canopy when the plane failed for unknown reasons and began to go down. The sound was deafening as we crashed through the multiple forest layers until we eventually hit ground. Bam. We hit hard. The plane was totaled and it is amazing that we all survived."

2012 with William Gladstone

William Gladstone is a Harvard University trained cultural anthropologist, Bill has developed a specific interest in researching the meaning of 2012 cross culturally. Of course we all know that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 and Bill has plenty of research done in Mexico confirming the Mayan beliefs relating to 2012, but what is most interesting to him is that so many cultures including the Hopi, the Tibetan, the Hindu and the Hawaiian, to name a few, also believe that 2012 represents a cultural turning point or marker in their own culture. Not every culture has chosen this exact year, but many have indicated “these times.” Mainstream scientists in the fields of ecology and astronomy are also finding that “these times” are significant potential “tipping points” and “chaos points” and Bill has become an expert on all things 2012. He wrote a novel THE TWELVE based on much of his recent research and his websites planetchange.tv, planetchange2012.com and 12thebook.com are available for those interested in pursuing the meaning and purpose of 2012 as a cultural and perhaps scientifically based phenomenon. www.12thebook.com

Core Essence Blueprint with Taylore Sinclaire

Taylore Sinclaire discovered that there were no fashion analysis systems that combined color radiance, energetics, style and personality, bringing together her passion for both fashion and psychology.  From her studies, she began to realize that color-matching theories to date, as developed and practiced in the mainstream, could not accurately profile people correctly and reliably because they only dealt with the surface; usually hair, eye and skin color.  Intuitively, she knew something was missing because, by itself, color was not enough. This breakthrough led to the next milestone in her work, which proved to be a radical advance in her thinking. She discovered that the energy of different shapes, color radiances, patterns and textures could be combined into particular dominant energetic patterns, in essence, a "blueprint" that accurately represented the cellular vibration of a human being. http://www.illuminessensce.com/index.php

Sanjay Burman Mogul with Attitude

Being a bit of a troublemaker from the beginning, Sanjay Burman was suspended from high school after brokering the sale of his school to Pepsi. Apparently he was not allowed to sell public property. He started as an apprentice at the Toronto Film Festival at age 14. He produced his first national show on CBC at age 16 called "Life The Program" (to which he was missing one obviously). By 23, he had been VP of packaging for Characters Talent Agency, the largest agency in Canada, and produced the Cannes and TIFF winning feature "Spider" directed by David Cronenberg. Although critically acclaimed, his parents were the only ones who saw it... and asked for their money back. In 2003, Sanjay left the entertainment industry and turning to a new direction, became a Master Hypnotherapist with a clinic he still runs on weekends. He started BurmanBooks Inc. the following year, and by his second year in business, had signed the authors of The Secret. In 2007 he launched BurmanBooks Entertainment which produces motivational content, and in 2008 acquired TruMedia Group Distribution out of Boston. His second book, Do Everything They Tell You Not To Do If You Want To Succeed, is now in stores. He currently serves as director of the Canadian College of Hypnotherapy and is sponsored by Tommy Hilfiger. www.burmanbooks.com
