Johnson Chong

Johnson is a Self-Mastery Coach, and helps guide his clients through challenging crossroads by drawing on his rich knowledge of the mind, body and spirit from various wisdom traditions. He brings a fresh and practical lens to integrating spirituality with an urban modern lifestyle, and serves as a bridge for those who are waking up.

Courtney Bauer

Courtney, for as long as she can remember, has been connected to heightened sensibilities that are difficult to explain. She’s an avid seeker, student, and teacher of the principles of Truth through conscious inquiry via movement and meditation.

Throughout the past 20 years, she synthesized her practice and knowledge into Curriculum AUM, and founded Studio Anya in New York City where she trained and mentored hundreds of aspiring yoga and pilates teachers in her method. Her studio was a haven for like-minded individuals who longed for a sacred connection to self thru daily self-care practices.

Courtney is a teacher of teachers, and has also worked extensively as an energy worker and bodyworker and co-heads the 500 hour yoga program for massage therapists at the Swedish Institute, a health science college in New York. It is her passion and calling to help others fall in love with the art of conscious living as a unique expression of their soul. And when she is not teaching, she is a mother of one and an avid writer of mindful musings that motivate positive change, and intuitive wisdom and action-oriented skills for getting in touch with what moves the True you.

Solara Anani

One of the true visionaries of our time, Solara is widely respected for her integrity, courage and dedication. She facilitated the Opening of the 11:11 Doorway in 1992 in which well over 144,000 people participated worldwide. She describes herself as an intrepid explorer into the Unknown, going where few have dared go before…. into the undiscovered realms of the Invisible.

Solara is not a guru or a channel, nor does she have “followers”, rather she serves as a catalyst to activate us into our own mastery so we may fully inhabit the Ultra Greater Reality and Live True Lives as True Ones.

Solara has a rare gift of expressing the unexpressible, communicating with clarity, power, grounded practicality, deep love and humor. Her message calls us to embrace both our humanness and our vastness so we can fully emerge as True Ones. To be REAL in an unreal world.

Since 1987, Solara has given numerous talks, workshops, MasterClasses, Star-Borne Reunions and 11:11 Gate Activations, teaching the 11:11 Sacred Dances and activating our One Being in:
Argentina, Australia, Bali, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Ecuador, Egypt, England, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Rapa Nui, Scotland, Slovakia, Slovenija, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tahiti, Turkey & the US.

She has helped many become true and real. She is a true revolutionary of the spirit!

Solara is the author of six beloved metaphysical classics:
How to LIVE LARGE on a Small Planet
11:11 – Inside the Doorway
EL*AN*RA: The Healing of Orion
The Star-Borne: A Remembrance for the Awakened Ones
The Legend of Altazar: A Fragment of the True History of Planet Earth
Invoking Your Celestial Guardians
