Two phrases one doesn’t usually hear: teaching at Yale and Harvard, and being a psychic. Five years ago Naomi Pabst walked away from academia to pursue the louder calling of her soul — teaching others on the art of life and love. She reveals how she faces judgment from peers, and about race, gender, human suffering, how past life regression can help you understand all of this, and how discovering her two year old daughter was psychic set her on a new and meaningful journey.

Paul Selig, psychic and award-winning author of channeled texts from Tarcher/Penguin (
Selig describes how he started his journey in 1987 a year out of a Masters program at Yale, while working on an opera. How Gideons leave books in a drawer and he reached for a book, beginning a journey out of necessity, hearing a voice telling him to “get his act together”, and his beginning of a clairaudience. How Selig was an open conduit, and how he operated like a radio when he channels he flips the station a bit then has access to other info. When in 2009, after working with a group in his apartment, he began recording and transcribing what the guides delivered as books, with six so far, and how the books are transcripts of sessions and require virtually no editing. Taking care of oneself, and balance. The demands of travel and work, how he is missing the order, schedule, and community and finding the audience more transient. How his current pace and lifestyle is not sustainable, the guides are not tired when he’s tired, how he takes on the physical abilities and issues of those he channels, and how most have a lack of awareness of divinity in so many things, despite that all is holy. His hope is that if teaching continues it will result in a realization for all that can move the process forward.
Virginia Mason, Reiki Master, psychic healer, and founder of 
Mason laments the issue with the word psychic, describes her background in science and physical anthropology, how she was strict Atheist, and went from non-profit to real estate, realized her life outside of these things in alternative wellness modalities, and found she had so many dreams that came true. How she was struggling with diseases, and all of symptoms went away. What was a primary driver to her exploring, when she was introduced to “When Things Fall Apart”, and she finally identified with Buddhism and got into meditation, Shambala. Crossing into the healing, how more and more evidence built, and creating space for whatever wants to come in to come in. Interest in anthropological factors from culture to anatomy, what’s fueling all of it, how she spent a lot of time in philosophy classes in college. Looking at people, pulling from different perspectives to figure them out, and another lens. The tarot as a form of divination using cards, tied to a game in the 1400’s.
Shelby Mason, founder of 
Mason discusses creating Bootights from need and a moment of public humiliation, and trying to find a solution to how it can be done better, with the result a performance sock on bottom of hosiery. Working for Disney and in television, the impact of Bootights being featured on Oprah, learning from mistakes and from trial and error, how her entrepreneurial journey has been helped from spiritual beliefs and how they arose. Growing up with organized religion as Lutheran, growing out of it, coming back to religion in a more of a spiritual way which made more sense, how caring and being passionate with work is more important than being good at the work, and how it ties into spirituality.
Jesse Bravo, known as the Premier Celebrity Psychic Medium in NYC who has been featured on MTV, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, and ABC News – (
Bravo discusses the importance of having proper barriers, having to be mindful at all times, working on Wall Street and embracing logic by day, then being open to the universe at other times. For legality purposes, leaving each world in its own, with no blame, no credit, and just being a “tool”. The key is quieting the mind. Why Bravo does not use guided mediation so that the mind can be quiet, letting whatever is going to come in, come in. How we hold ourselves back in psychic abilities, and it is a passive process, and the need to just feel and know things. Everyone has intuitive ability.
Eduardo Placer, Social Impact Entrepreneur, Motivational Speaker, Community Builder, and Founder/CEO of 
Placer reviews how he started as an actor, and how he realized we all have a voice and a story to share, and how owning a voice and story can allow us to make impact. How he found himself on stage, wondering if is this all he was called to do in life, with the answer growing louder. He discusses public speaking, how the body shows up to the event of speaking, working with a school in southern Kenya, an LGBTQ activist organization in southeastern Africa, working with women in business to help the with their voice, and endeavoring to arm fearless communicators across the planet to speak about things that can make a difference. Placer reveals how he is an introverted extrovert, the opportunity to discover the power of you through sharing through those with less self-confidence having an empathy different than someone who is a natural.
Cedar Elford-White, Community Manager for 
Elford-White recalls her American Southwest upbringing and her background in operations, along with her current mission helping to build Voyager HQ as a hub for travel startups. She shares a story about a very large amethyst crystal entrusted to her by her mother and driving it around in her car, how a call from mom about a dream the amethyst was sitting in the middle of road, and had reached out to tell her mother it was unhappy, gave Elford-White’s the realization that this could be a direct consequence of something reaching out because there is more going on and connections we’re not aware of. How putting love and care into things creates a bond, her transition from West to East Coast and the “new frontier”, being an artist from an entrepreneurial artist family, an unfulfilling job in an NYC baker, resettling in New Mexico, wanting to do more for people, and the privilege of working at Voyager HQ and participating in the discovery and building process. She laments that she hasn’t found a way to fully balance art with work, and about the search for balance with creativity. Doing well with deadlines, doing one-day Saturday projects, and setting oneself up for success.
Kyle Barrios, a market development strategy and operations growth professional (
Barrios talks about how taking action led to a beautiful family, and his desire to pursue the social entrepreneurship space. Chan shares her process for readings, including her clairaudience (clear hearing), meditation, then thought impressions, leading to a mini-reading as a catalyst to spark discussion of what is going on one’s life, and what is highest guidance for Barrios at this time.
