Packer, Duane P.O. Box 1310 staff@orindaben.com

Duane Packer is a gifted clairvoyant who can see the energy fields in and around the body. He has extensive skill in assisting others to reach expanded states of consciousness and to sense subtle energies. He has a scientific background (a Ph.D. in geology-geophysics) and broad bodywork training with years of intensive experience. Duane has traveled the world as a geologist, getting to know the earth well. He now does much "interdimensional traveling," visiting many other realities and beings in his work through the light body and through his nightly out-of-body work. Duane Packer no longer holds private sessions, as he spends all of his time developing light body courses. These courses teach people how to get into expanded states of consciousness where they can learn how to create emotional flow, physical ease, and mental clarity. This is a powerful course of transformation. Duane works with his guide DaBen, a scientific and healing entity. He takes people to expanded states of consciousness in the awakening your light body course. Duane currently conducts Awakening Your Light Body seminars with Sanaya Roman and Orin, and spends much time out in nature, meditating and exploring power spots. Website: www.orindaben.com

Offering a place where people who fundamentally agree with the principles found in “Conversations with God” by Neal Donald Walsch, or wish to learn more about those principles, may gather for discussion, learning and deeper exploration of the CwG messages. Website: www.cwgcenterofportland.org

I have been channeling Orin, a wise and gentle spirit teacher, for over 20 years, bringing through Orin's tapes, books, and the Awakening Your Light Body course. Although I no longer give private appointments, most of the guidance Orin gives to people is contained in his six books: Living with Joy, Personal Power Through Awareness, Spiritual Growth, Opening to Channel, Creating Money, and Soul Love, all published by H J Kramer Inc. All of Orin's work is to assist you in unfolding your potential, finding your own inner wisdom, and in growing spiritually. You can read book excerpts from each of the books by going to books, or you can read our weekly book excerpt here. My formal training includes graduating Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California at Berkeley. I have studied metaphysics for years. I found great value in the Seth books by Jane Roberts, and in the Alice Bailey books. I now teach live graduate light body seminars with Duane Packer and his guide DaBen. We feel that group work such as this and the inner planes meditations are a powerful way to create a shift for people. If you would like to receive energy from Orin and me, and also feel the power of a group meditating together, join us on the inner planes during the Sunday Morning meditations and the Worldwide meditations.

Steve was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Beloit College with a BA degree in Philosophy. A lifelong love of the metaphysical led him to create Body Mind Spirit Expos in the mid 1980's. These days he plans out the overall direction of the company and often manages individual expos. Over the years we have honed our shows to cater to the metaphysical and alternative health communities. This has allowed BMSE to grow into the largest national series of expos in the holistic field. They produce semi-annual events in over 22 states. Website: www.bmse.net
