Thank you for holding such a deep space for healing, and guiding me with wisdom & sensitivity in the breath journey.” -Kiya, England

Ash has had the honor to guide, celebrate and support others in realizing and confidently being the loving intelligence they truly are for the past 20 years through speaking engagements, workshops, retreats, healing concerts, private and group sessions and by serving along with his group Here II Here as the melodious soundtrack for the greatest spiritual leaders of our time including Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, Gangaji, Adyashanti, Neale Donald Walsch, Michael Beckwith, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Jean Houston, Byron Katie and The Tibetan State Oracle to the Dalai Lama.

Having performed in his teens for millions of screaming fans across the planet with latin-sensation band, Menudo, Ash then dove off the top of Machu Picchu into an intense period of open awareness and self-inquiry among the shape-shifting shamans and their wondrous means of dying deep in the Amazonian Rainforest.

Emerging with a faint note of jungle essence on his breath, his eyes washed clean of descriptive frameworks, he began to sing the song of effortless wholeness. For the next 14 years, Ash ceaselessly downloaded brilliant, Rumi-esque songs which became the lifeblood of “conscious music” band Here II Here (formerly Inner Voice). Ash’s peace-promoting lyrical wizardry – and open fondness for the occasional chocolate-chip cookie – continues to inspire countless thousands of fans worldwide to live and celebrate the beautiful perfection of their authentic self. With an intensely vivid clarity spiked by constant spasms of rolling laughter, Ash’s workshops, talks and music have been featured at The United Nations, on ABC’s Good Morning America, and in large spiritual communities and performance venues throughout the world and now he is here, delighted to be of service to your ever-opening heart, on your adventurous freefall into vivid clarity.

Dale is the only soul on earth sharing a living, breathing vision of the original Aramaic Yeshua (Jesus) and Maaryam Magdalitha (Mary Magdalene) energetic alchemy wisdom from the Biblical, Gnostic and Mystery School philosophies as one pure revelation. His work awakens the profound transformational qualities of consciously intoned ancient and indigenous sounds, tones and languages on activating lucid states of alert, ecstatic Presence within a matter of seconds.

Dale‘s focus is not simply on words or languages, but rather on the Gnostic experiential core of how to consciously live a richly mystical life from the inside out. He is not simply a translator as much as he is an activator – a healing voice for awakening, much like Coleman Barks is for the poetry of Jalal ad-Din Rumi.

Dale’s sincerity burns away the veils of religion, theology, linguistics and mythology with the pure intent of revealing the direct, transformational flame at the heart of the world’s great philosophies. He travels internationally sharing the rich spiritual wisdom which has been veiled beneath almost two millennia of misunderstandings, skewed translations, intentional manipulation and a general lack of spiritual perception.

Dale has published numerous audio and video programs and is author of the book “Echoes of an Ancient Dream: Aramaic Toning on the Path of Light”.

UPDATE (12/16/19):   Bob and Shannon will now be joining us virtually.  They were so excited about being part of this gathering; however, they had to make a difficult decision to stay home to complete an alternative detox treatment to resolve lyme disease that they have been working through for over two years. They are both feeling a thousand percent better with unprecedented results, and need a few extra days at home. The extra days will allow them space to transition from the holidays, finish the treatment, have one final doctor visit, finalize details for a new album release, and launch a new collective website and associated non-profit organization before they jetset back into their first month of travel in 2020. Sometimes you just have to listen to body’s inner guidance and recalibrate.

Together they amplify each other’s gifts into a divine combination that will lead the soul to truth and peace. They lead life-changing experiential workshops, music meditations, weekend retreats, and powerful concert experiences. Their retreat movement is called Boldly Going Nowhere as a call for us all to slow down and tune in to allow presence, passion, and peace to find us. They were both recently ordained as ministers through the Alliance of Divine Love. Coming soon will be an official announcement about their collective non-profit mission called Where the Light Gets In.
