Background
As a Writer, Producer, Educator, Sound Healer, Catalyst, and Entrepreneur, it is my Mission to Help Humanity and The Earth Make it Through The Shift, in as Gentle and Easy Way as Possible.
My work with individuals, groups, and organizations, activates people to step more fully into their purpose and gifts. I facilitate major shifts in consciousness, by helping people learn to live more fully in the harmonious frequencies of their divine nature.
Most Recent Professional Experience:
Co-Founder of Wehave1 and Wehave1 Foundation - Multimedia, Music, Film, Print, and Live Events designed to activate and support the communities of the future. We also offer 1 on 1 Leadership Counseling and Consulting. Wehave1 Foundation
For the past 10 Years, independently, and now in partnership with Clifford Burtley and WH1, I have worked with hundreds of leaders to help bring their
business, groups, and organizations to the next levels.
I help restructure and reorganize foundations, so that more energy can be freed to generate and flow funds, increase input/output flow, and to smooth and streamline operations. Once flow is freed up, I then work to unify, harmonize and network efforts with others doing similar work.

Assistant to Children and Adults with Exceptional Abilities.
Education etc:
I have a B.A in Educational Psychology, and Theater Arts from Bennington College, and have done Masters level work in Screenwriting and Playwriting with Wilkes University and Goddard Collage.
I have the ability to tap into the bigger picture of what is happening with The Earth and Humanity, and am here to assist educators, teachers, organizations, and groups, to understand, harmonize and unify their efforts within this bigger picture.
In 1997 I founded the Healing Arts Network in Gloucester, MA, to help healing artists, unify and harmonize their efforts on the East Coast. We held regular networking events and produced, The Community Consciousness Carnival - a free celebration of theater, dance, art, music, and healing arts. I also helped establish and run non-profit organization in Ottawa, Canada: The Reiki Inservice Project, providing free Reiki Treatments for People with Life Threatening Illnesses and their loved ones.
For the past 10 years, I have focused my attention and prayers, and work on the West Coast. That focus is finally coming to fruition with Monthly events in Ojai, CA, Santa Barbara, CA, and Telum Mexico. My partner and I, through WH1 and WH1 Foundation are now working with Indigenous Elders, organizations and entrepreneurs to help shift economics, educate in the new/ancient ways, balance the environments, so that we (humanity) can start again.
A 2nd Degree Reiki Practitioner and Sound Healer, with 20 years of study and practice in the Healing Arts, I work with Crystal Singing Bowls, Tibetan Metal Bowls, Crystals, Gems, Plant Medicine, Flower Essences, and her Voice.
Using sounds, tones, vibration, visualization, and various hands-on healing techniques, my healing and group facilitation work activates people to awaken, activate and empower their True Nature, Gifts and Purpose.
I also use storytelling, theater, and transmedia events as vehicles for education, growth and transformation, while stretching and expanding the boundaries of accepted, “truths”.
Now, in partnership with Clifford Burtley, DJ/Producer, Entrepreneur
My path, and especially my writing, (a book about Spirituality in Education, Children’s Books, Plays, Screenplays, and Poetry) has mainly been focused on helping humanity make it through The Shift in as gentle and easy way as possible.
I’ve come to understand that humanity has chosen the gentle route, and that it is NOW time for all third wave vibrational masters to make themselves, their teachings, and their messages known.
Those who have prepared themselves specifically for this time in history - the world needs us NOW to bring fourth our wisdom and knowledge in the most powerful way we can. I pledge to do my best through Shift Enterprises, Shift Productions, and Earth Wisdom Foundation, to help all of us unify and harmonize our energies so that The Shift happens easily, gently and with much unity, harmony and joy as possible.
We are the final wave of transformational energy, coming through every day, with ever greater intensity. When this final wave touches down, there will be no denying that God indeed exists, and that He/She is Us.
Until then, I will continue to do my part, as one of many, cosmic ushers on the planet, working to help make The Shifts gentle, as we hold the door open for others to pass through. Going forward in Good Orderly Direction.
So be it, and so it is.
In peace, love, joy, and playful surrender...

Projects
After maintaining a regular writing practice for over 20 years, and after many years of rewrites and several incarnations, My first completed screenplay, The Shift is finally ready for production.

The Shift
An inspirational story, with a magical twist,
The Shift is a modern day tale about our collective transformational process - as we expand our limited understanding of ourselves and our world - as we shift our cultural perspective from "What can I get? To, "What can I give?"
A short synopsis for The Shift
In the buildup to Dec 23rd, 2012, the controlling powers on earth know that they will soon loose their sway over the world, and yet, even in the midst of a major global shift in consciousness, they continue to play out their control games. They have even devised all sorts of new ways to keep the population dumbed down, in fear, and under their control.
Their latest scheme - to convince millions of people that they need to be implanted by microchips, is a part of a much larger plan that involves creating ongoing, wide spread, fear and panic.
The story this time around, (for as we all know, they have done this many times before) is that the earth is under electromagnetic attack from malevolent ET's, and that people need to get chipped to protect themselves.
Our heroes aren't buyin' it.
Meet Odin White, a young, talented, spoken-word artist, who’s dreams are on the verge of coming true. Odin is suddenly thrust into the public eye. Finding himself in demand, he goes on influential talk shows, plays for thousands of people, has his pick of women... It seems he has everything he's ever wanted... Until....
In one mysterious, life altering moment, the entire world witnesses a flash of bright, white light. Millions are suddenly thrust into a blissful state that many describe, as a global, spiritual awakening. For millions of others though, the flash leads them into darkness... and many, tragically take their own lives... Including the best friend of our other hero, Candice Bicknel.
As our Heroes embark on a mission to uncover and reveal the truth about the chips and the suicides, Odin's dreams become more and more vivid, and line between his dreamtime reality and waking reality begins to blur. One of his dreamtime guides, a trickster clown, shows him the truth about his biological family. (He was adopted from Peru at the age of 5.)
Unable to face this painful truth, Odin begins partying heavily - and eventually finds himself on a journey to Lima Peru in search of his ancestral roots. Along the way he discovers things about his childhood that force him to come face to face with his demons, as well as with the nature of reality itself.
Odin returns to team up with Candice, and together, they become powerful bridges between the seen and unseen worlds.
Production Plan
The plan is to produce a stage version of The Shift and then to take she show on the road to raise funds and gather support for the film version.
I would also like to do a 10 city tour, (5 cities on each coast) of the music from the show, gathering musicians and sound healers along the way to help co-create the soundtrack.
It is my intention that audiences will be inspired by The Shift that they will begin co-creating positive futures in their communities. That The Shift become a movement towards the manifestation of a New Earth.
The Shift website will also serve to bring millions of people together, and will serve to gather support, talent, and energy to produce the film version as well.
It is my hope that by the time the film comes out, all this will be history - and the world will have shifted so dramatically, that my grandchild will ask me, "Grandma, what was life like before The Shift?" Which is exactly how the story begins...
I invite other artists, producers, writers, musicians, fans etc. to join me in this experiment in community building. Right now, I am seeking the initial funds to develop the website, as well as pre-production funds to produce the full length musical.
The main characters in The Shift go from being afraid of their own power, to realizing that true power comes from complete and total surrender.
This is what I envision for all of Humanity, as we wake up. As we envision our future, so it becomes.
Blessings from The Shift Production Team!
Thank you for helping us Make The Shift.

In God We Trust
A feature film based on the true story of the Peabody Energy Coal Mining Operations and their devastating effect on the Navaho and Hope Peoples in the Black Messa, AZ Area.
In God We Trust is about a Native American lawyer who was adopted into a wealthy family, with ties to the coal industry. This film seeks to bridge and heal the gaps between the cultures and explores the Spiritual Destiny of America.
I have learned through my work in improvisation, whether through movement, theater, writing, music, or voice, that improv techniques can be used as a tool for healing, self discovery, self expression, the development of skills, deeper understanding into an issue, or for release, prayer, and prophesy.
I am interested in various forms of shamanic practice and the ways indigenous rituals, ceremonies, and traditions have influenced modern and pop art forms.
I admire artists who are unafraid to go to the edge, hang out for a bit, explore what’s there, and then come back and share what they’ve discovered. I'm especially attracted to performers who are unafraid to step right off that edge and free fall for a bit in front of live audiences - such as we might find in traditional African and other indigenous ceremony and rituals.
In the modern world, the band The Grateful Dead embodied this daring willingness to trust each musical moment as it unfolds. And it only makes sense that they were influenced by the great improvisational Jazz Musicians of our time, who in turn were influenced by African traditions.
I have also been inspired by experimental theater artists like Peter Brooke and my fellow Bennington College graduate, and creator of award winning musicals, Elizabeth Swedos. Swedos, Brooke and others, explore the boundaries of traditional performance, and have deeply inspired me to do the same.
