Dan Hathaway was a child of five when he met Vitvan, Connia, and Anita in San Marcos. He did not understand Vitvan's message but he understood the tone of voice when people spoke to him. He also understood that the compost piles fed the emerald green garden enclosure and that everyone was proud of the garden. That simple understanding led to a later working life dedicated to bio-recycling. Soils, composting, municipal organic infrastructure (yard waste, parks, landfills, golf courses, roadsides, trees, trails, firebreaks,etc.), plus international development, manufacture, demonstration, and marketing of shredding machinery and recycling systems have kept Dan busy for the past forty years.

Dan has played the guitar and sung folk songs for about sixty years now. His Zen, Tibetan Buddhism, Infinite Way, Saytha Sai Baba, etc, are all tempered by his love of folk music. The religions, sects, and disciplines have different rules but the laws of music are the same for them all. Growing up in a world of a vast variety of personalities and opinions made him suspect everything he heard. Folk melodies withstand the test of time and are a true gauge of the unfettered human spirit.

Dan will present two classes, Healing the Earth and Healing Vibrations.

Linda Hildred has been a student of SNO for 25 years. She has also studied many healing and psychological modalities including massage, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Reiki, Present centered processing, Avatar, The Work, etc., to name a few.

Linda will tell us about Access Consciousness during the Potpourri class.

Lynne Hoffman began practicing Applied Kinesiology 32 years ago, guided by two very perceptive mentors. Strongly influenced by the Wisdom Teachings as given by Vitvan since 1975, her methods have come to incorporate aspects of reflexology, acupressure, Bach flowers, distance healing and her own style that she calls Balancing Energy.

Lynne will present ideas about healing ourselves during 'New' Paradigms, Conscious Showering, Healing through Meditation, and Synthesis. She will also join Robert Cozzie and Tracy Magie in presenting an Introduction to Muscle Testing.

Jody Horton, CTR, became interested in body work when a family member discovered that the pain from his broken back was relieved by massage. She educated herself in reflexology for almost a decade before taking formal training in 1997 and receiving her reflexology license.

When Jody learned about Thai massage, she realized that this technique went hand-in-hand with her reflexology work. She also learned that there was no training available outside of Thailand. She was very pleased when the Thai Institute of Healing Arts opened in 2005 in Washington, D.C. The Thai Institute follows the direct ancient lineage of Father Doctor Shivagokomarpaj. Jody completed her training at the Institute in 2008, and has incorporated Thai massage as well as foot reflexology into her practice in Ely, NV. She will be presenting Thai Yoga: Massage & Foot Reflexology.

She studied art at the University of California Davis and State University of New York, Binghamton where she received a B.A. in Art Studio and worked professionally as both Visual Artist and Curator of Visual Resources for the Department of Art and Art History.
