William Getman, RN, Director of Education, Energy Practitioner
William Getman is a nurse currently practicing at Griffin Hospital in Derby where he works in the Intensive Care Unit. Although his daily practice is in allopathic medicine, his passion is healing. To heal means to make whole and since energy is the next larger context for any physical object, energy medicine is required to complement the allopathic interventions that current medical practice dictates if healing is to occur. This is true whether that object is a human body or whether it is the land itself and all of the various life forms associated with and residing on that land. As part of his work in nursing, Bill performs Therapeutic Touch with the patients under his care as part of the extended services offered by Griffin Hospital. In addition, at the request of the hospital, he has recently completed an energetic clearing of the land on which Griffin is built in order to strengthen the healing qualities of the patient environment. In addition to nursing and energy work, Bill's passion includes teaching metaphysics and galactic history. In this context, he focuses on ways in which the individual can access his own knowledge of the truth in ways that will facilitate the practical conduct of daily life and the solution of personal problems. Bill is an executive on the Building Bridges Advisory Board consulting for the development of Integrative Health Care Protocol, Energy and Healing techniques and is the department Chair for the Galactic History department of the Charon School of Integration.

Darryl Anka
Darryl's story and How it all began: On two occasions within the same week in 1973, I had close-range, broad-daylight sightings of UFOs with witnesses present both times. At each sighting we saw a dark metallic, triangular craft about 30 feet on each side. There were three blue-white lights, one on each “point”, and one orange-red light in the center. The craft in the first sighting was about 150 feet away; in the second sighting, only about 60 feet away.

After seeing something that I knew could not be the product of Earthly technology, I was curious to find out all I could on UFO phenomena. I began reading everything I could find. Browsing bookshelves for UFO literature, I quickly discovered other books on different “paranormal” subjects, such as psychic powers, spirits and channeling. I read a few of these as well as UFO books so that I could broaden my research and acquire a greater understanding of the metaphysical field of knowledge.

Ten years after the UFO sightings, I was introduced to a practicing channel. After several months of listening to the information delivered by the spirit entity being channeled through the person, I was amazed by the consistency and quality of the information I was hearing on a variety of subjects. Eventually, that entity offered to teach channeling to whoever wished to learn. This surprised me at first, as I had assumed channeling was not something that could be taught. Nevertheless, I joined the channeling class — not intending to become a channel myself, but rather to learn more about the process by which this entity seemed capable of accessing volumes of information on endless subjects.

Midway through the course, which contained many guided meditations and mental exercises designed to shift one’s consciousness to various states, I received what sounded like a telepathic message in my mind. I became instantly aware of three things: The message was from an extraterrestrial consciousness that I was to call “Bashar” (the UFO I had seen was his ship), a memory came back to me that I had made an agreement at some point prior to this life to channel him, and that now was the time to fulfill this agreement if I still felt like doing so. After thinking about it for awhile, I decided to explore the possibility of letting this “Bashar” entity speak through me to see what would happen. I figured that even if it wasn’t really another entity — even if it was some mysterious portion of my own consciousness — the information that could be accessed through this channeling process could be used to help people make constructive and positive changes in their lives. Whatever the source, I decided to continue. I have now been channeling publicly since that time in 1983 and “Bashar” has spoken on a wide variety of subjects to thousands of people in more than 15 cities throughout the United States, as well as in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, England, Egypt and Greece.

Special Education Teacher

Flower essences are safe, all natural remedies created from flowers, which help us to gently release unwanted emotions and behaviors while helping us to foster our innate strengths. Taken orally in liquid drop form, or applied topically, flower essences work subtly to effect profound change. Flower Essence Therapy uses biography, personal and artistic expression and kinesiology to identify a unique flower essence combination for the child. An affirmation or verse is also offered to work with the flower remedy. Flower Essesnces are extremely helpful for many childhood emotional issues: Fears, ultra-sensitivity, low self-esteem, concentration & distractibility, anger & oppositional behaviors, despondency & socialization challenges, to name a few.

Annie Bossingham
Annie's work with children
Annie has helped hundreds of children (and their parents) resolve troublesome issues – from birth trauma, to debilitating behavioral patterns, to autism and to less vexing parent/child issues. Annie has the rare ability to ‘channel’ a child’s consciousness to a parent or guardian without the child’s physical presence. In a typical scenario, one or both parents schedule an appointment with Annie – either in person or over the phone. The child is not present for the session. Annie goes into trance and the essence of the child speaks through her, giving the parent the opportunity to dialogue directly with a deeper aspect of their child. Each session provides profound insight and clarity. When given voice, problems can resolve themselves in surprisingly short order. Annie is a pioneer in the world of autism. She is able to channel an aspect of an autistic child, often giving them “voice” for the very first time. The parents of autistic children are able to speak intimately and in new ways with their autistic child. Results range from a parent gaining insight into their child’s inner world to a child showing no trace of their prior autistic behavior.

Luma offers the following explanation of Annie’s work with children: “It is possible for healing to occur no matter what appears as a limitation within the physical illusion, but one must accept the illusion as “just that”. In order to heal, one must seek refuge within the more real self in order to access the power of self-healing. This is what Annie does. She allows these children to travel to the depths of their beings to unlock the secrets of their truer self; the self that can aid them in seeking new and extraordinary vision of possibility. We know she believes that all beings, all consciousness, have the ability to self heal…this is true. But they need a guide, a companion, who leads and who brings about a sense of safety as they explore realms that they cannot consciously delve into. So Annie is a partner with them as she leads them into their greater perception of self and mirrors to them what is possible. In that mirroring of what is possible, they then make choices and decisions for themselves and they self-empower. And in that self-empowerment they give permission to themselves to become more of who they truly are.
How does this happen? Annie has a willingness to blend completely with another’s energy field. Boundaries firmly in place, an invitation goes out…her higher self to their higher self. An arrangement/meeting is made. When there is opportunity to heal, souls will come, for they are in pursuit of healing always, just as they are in pursuit of experience. Healing allows more of the truer self to evolve and so, in a way, much of the work that Annie does is an evolutionary process for the Soul, allowing glimpses into their true destiny.”

Rob Martin
Back in the mid-80's I read Ken Dychtwald's book "Bodymind" and became fascinated with the idea of increasing body awareness through hands-on approaches, such as Dr. Rolf’s Method of Structural Integration. But it wasn’t until 1991 that I finally received the work. My Structural Integration experience changed my body so profoundly, that I no longer perceived the world the same as I did prior to that event. I was different, yet I couldn't quite grasp what had happened to me. I spent time researching this and other modalities and in 1993 I took my first massage course with Robert Brown out in Santa Rosa, CA. I practiced massage for several years in Rhode Island and then moved to Boulder, CO to study at the Guild for Structural Integration with Emmett Hutchins and Peter Melchior. By mid-2001, I had opened my practice in Connecticut, and now thoroughly enjoy walking to work in my socks with a cup of tea in hand, having fun exploring all the interesting possibilities and being open to what my clients can teach me each day. I've continued my education studying anatomy with Michael Morrison, Thai massage with Kam Thye Chow in Montreal, Jason Beasley and Noji Okada, Koji Hiroshige and Pichest Boonthumme in Chiang Mai, Muscle Energy Techniques with Stephan Moran in Connecticut, Hatha Yoga with Ellen Schaeffer in Rhode Island and movement work with Ed Maupin in San Diego. As time goes on, I will continue to explore new ideas and theories related to my work.
