Jack's musical experience
goes back to 5yrs of age when he would figure out songs on the piano from the radio and television. His parents then
decided to whisk him off to piano lessons and the rest is history.
His desire as a young
lad was to be an Actor and a Singer and along the way he learned how to play the piano. Jack started
taking voice lessons in High School and continued through college. He sang in the choir, performed in musicals and wrote
original music for the yearly Variety Show. Plus, formed, played and sang in his own rock band through his
teens into twenties. Jack Minored in Music Ministries in college with a Major in Biblical
Studies at Christian Life College, formerly known as Chicago Bible College in Mt Prospect IL. While there he toured
with the vocal group “Sounds of Praise” two weeks out of the year and on weekends as featured soloist and ensemble
member. After graduation took a position as the Musical Minister at Glad Tidings Assembly of God in DeKalb
IL. Directed the choir, arranged for others also to sing solos, duets, trios and whatever Spirit would lead them to do for
Sunday services along with also playing the piano and continuing to write original music which later culminated in a recording
which was used as the “house band” would tour local churches.
As we fast forward
to the future , over time Jack was changing, evolving and eventually moved to California. He discovered the Recovery
Movement and redefined his concepts of God and later studied metaphysics and discovered Religious Science. Of course it was inevitable that this would once again lead him to New Thought style music. Jack started
playing piano at Universal Spirit Center for the meditation and Celebration services. He played the role
of “Mish Mash” in the Land of Ahhhhhhsss written by Paula Brandes and had the wonderful privilege of singing that
heart opening song “Has anybody got a Heart” which he also got to share on a Sunday morning with the congregation. He
has also played the role of Jigger in Carousel and Senator Rawkins in Finians Rainbow.
Jack now currently sings
and/or plays regularly at Bonita Center for Joyful Living, Downtown Center for Spiritual Living and Universal Spirit Center,
Om Spiritual Center and has also been featured soloist at Unity Carlsbad and Christ Church Unity in San Diego.

Chanara - Tone for Peace
began performing when
she was a small child. It’s always been a part of her life in some capacity. Her academic achievements have earned her
a Masters of Music degree. She has been equally serious about her life-long study of spirituality, metaphysics and consciousness.
Like strands of a rope, she has entwined the two disciplines. "Performing takes me into a dimension beyond time.
It’s wonderful. While I am singing, I can sense a soft dazzling, golden light coming into the top of my head and anchoring
into my spine, just behind my heart.
 It somehow merges with the sound waves of my voice and goes out to touch others. It goes inside of them.
Whether I am singing an aria or chanting overtones, it’s the same. I sing to instill a sense of well-being in myself
and others."
As a teacher, Chanara creates a mind-body approach to speaking, singing and performing. A before-and-after
video demonstrating the results of her methodology is available on request.
She is also an astrologer and author.
Her book, "Money, Astrology and You in the Driver’s Seat" was the mother of MoneyHoroscopes, individual life
readings that guide people to their personal path of financial contentment.
Pianist-singer-songwriter Joan
Kurland began her musical career at the age of five, when she begged her parents for a piano-- and knew how to play it before
taking any lessons Joan studied classical piano at
the Manhattan School of Music and the Oberlin Conservatory, but her claim to fame has always been her incredible ear.
Her ability to play pretty much anything she hears in any key (she has perfect pitch) makes her the ideal choice for any special
event, since she doesn't need sheet music to accommodate requests. From Beethoven to the Beatles, Joan has it all in her head,
ready to pull out when needed. After
completing her collegiate musical studies, Joan sang and played keyboards in a highly successful Top-40 band on the East Coast.
The culmination of the band's career was a performance in front of 10,000 people at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. In 1988, wanting a healthier and more spiritually oriented
life, Joan left the band and fulfilled her longtime dream of moving to California. She began playing at Nordstrom,
performing at parties and weddings, and teaching piano and voice. Her longtime association with the Optimum Health Institute
in Lemon Grove, California, a healing center based around live foods, inspired her to start writing funny songs about the
health food lifestyle. Her album of parodies, “Eat It Raw: Food, Love, and Other Disasters,” with
its hilarious takes on such topics as sugar addiction, singlehood, and wheatgrass juice, has brought laughter to thousands,
and was performed at the Comedy Store in La Jolla to great acclaim. In the 90s, a relative's bout with breast cancer prompted Joan to write
the healing song, “I Believe," which she performed on NBC television during breast cancer awareness month
in 2001. After many requests
from fans for more recordings, Joan recently completed and released a CD entitled, “Looking Up: Songs of Hope and Inspiration,” which features several of her own compositions, as well
as such popular favorites as “The Rose” and “The Wind Beneath My Wings.” The album is available
through Joan Kurland Music (619)464-2525 and on the web at cdbaby.com .  Diane Mandle, Certified Sound Healer Sound Healing is an effective and proven
modality that uses vibrational sound to help reduce stress, alter consciousness and create a deep sense of peace, well being
and better health. Sound has also been shown to be a vital part of the healing process for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy
and side effects especially for pain relief management. During our waking state, the normal frequency
of our brain waves is that of Beta. Sound tools entrain the brain to move into the deeper Alpha and Theta brain wave frequencies.
These are the frequencies that induce deep meditative and peaceful states, clarity of mind and intuition. Modern medicine
can now measure and thus confirm the practice of sound as a means to promote healing. (see sound healing questions answered
for more info on this) Thus, sound is a type of energy medicine that creates the sacred space in which people can heal from
stress disorders, pain, depression, the emotional roller coaster and more. I believe in integrated
health services so in addition to the vibrational healing initiated by sound, my sessions include Polarity therapy, visualizations
and life coaching. This combination creates a true body, mind, spirit connection so vital to natural healing. Polarity is
a gentle type of energetic healing modality that uses healing hands on meridian points, for foot reflexology and craniosacral
techniques. It promotes chakra healing, remove How does it work? Ancient instruments, including
Tibetan singing bowls are 'struck and sung' in specific rhythmic patterns to create vibrational sound harmonics at the frequency
of "AUM" or "OM". This sound frequency known as that of Perfection impacts the sympathetic nervous system
as your brain waves synchronize to the vibrations of the bowls. The harmonic vibrations engage the relaxation reflex and slow
down the respiratory, brain and heart rate and disrupt the pain reflex creating a deep sense of well being. Some toning, biofeedback
and visualization is integrated into your session. s dark energy and strongly refers to the clients inner wisdom to help in
the healing process.
