Moshe Daniel Block

Speaker

Moshe Daniel Block is a naturopathic doctor, homeopath, and founder of the Holistic Counseling training program, which teaches practitioners a structured mind–body method for identifying and resolving unconscious belief patterns that quietly run emotional and physical symptoms. He has practiced mind–body medicine for over 25 years, studying what happens when beliefs meet biology—and refuse to behave politely.
His interest in alchemy began in his teens, when he read classical alchemical texts repeatedly and understood almost nothing, an experience best described as sustained mystifying frustration. Instead of quitting, he kept reading the same books, along with Hermetic, Biblical, and medieval sources, eventually adding the works of Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy to the pile. Progress was slow, nonlinear, and largely invisible for years.
He is the creator of the multi-part cinematic series Israel’s Unfinished Covenant, which explores polarity and transformation through Kabbalah and alchemical symbolism, including an extended examination of Joseph, the “Stone of Israel,” and the Philosopher’s Stone motif.
After decades of study and clinical work, Dr. Moshe now works with a small number of principles that recur across matter, psyche, and consciousness with the persistence of an uninvited dog—loyal, inconvenient, and impossible to ignore.

In 1985, the fun ended with brief incarceration, for his infiltration of computer servers at Microsoft and three other Seattle corporations. In the decades that followed, Mike evolved from mischievous hacker to benevolent back-cracker and in recent years an independent researcher with emphasis on non-standard cosmologies, alternative/hidden history, gigantism, catastrophism, rapid petrification and what he has taken to calling 'biogeology'.

Adam Stevens

Speaker & CoProducer

Adam grew up near Salt Lake City, Utah. As a child he didn't particularly like working in the large family garden, but did enjoy shelling peas and eating tomatoes. After moving out on his own, the gardening bug lay dormant until he and his wife had their first child and they contemplated just what they should feed their new family. They promptly got a 10'x10' community garden plot which very quickly became a 10'x20'.
As these things go, the gardening bug turned into a farming bug and they bought their first farm near Eugene, Oregon. While working as a commercial lender at a community bank he studied all things gardening, farming, and permaculture. In 2019 after 17+ years in the financial services industry, he left his job and the family moved to rural Missouri to pursue their passion for farming. During this time, he completed the necessary coursework and became a certified permaculture designer.
Now settled on 43 acres, they are working towards building their farm with a goal of showing others what is possible when we design our farms using permaculture principles and natural systems as our guides.

Chris Winters

Speaker

Chris Winters operates an organic vegetable farm along with his wife and son in Tennessee with a focus on nutrient density, life force and moral sourcing.

Early in his medical Qigong practice he recognized the congruency between healing the body and healing soils. This led him to innovating on his farm and the results were beyond impressive. Using extensive research, empirical observation and intuition, he developed comprehensive systems utilizing his custom electroculture antennas that can be applied to most agricultural scenarios, large and small.
Chris created an array of Electroculture offerings rooted in function and effectiveness, centered in solutionary agriculture which represents the omnipresent dynamo that is the power source for all living expressions. Highly involved with radionics, field broadcasting and water energetics both on his farm and with agriculturalists world-wide, he applies esoteric learning, knowledge of energy work and over a decade of vegetable growing to creating a system of regenerative agriculture utilizing the benevolence of hyperdynamic agriculture.

John Tsafos

Healer / Body Worker

Human Body Mechanics are used to figure out and correct the coordination dysfunctions that cause most pain, joint misalignment and degeneration using the body’s organizational intelligence. The Human Body Mechanic method simply locates and shuts off those motor compensation patterns in order to not need to borrow voltage as it did prior to the shock to the system which created it.

Jason Robo

Healer/ Body Worker

A mixed modality pain/tension relieving reflexology/acupressure, deep tissue, tuning forks, etc. Fascia lines, Raynor Bands, starting in the digits are the focus. The hand/footwork alone can heal. Often multiple issue lie on a band, e.g. the Achilles band alleviates pain in the neck, shoulders, lower back, even plantar fasciitis.
Clients get toe spacers & "footnotes," foot restoration tools/exercises/footwear to help themselves. Most sessions are foot related. Bunion reversal work available as well.
