“You don’t HAVE a soul. You ARE soul. You HAVE a body.” -Walter M. Miller Jr.
When you live life from your true essence – the energy of your soul – everything in your human existence becomes easier, more joyful and more abundant. When your life is directed by your heart and soul, everything you need and desire is easily within your grasp. Are you ready to find out how to make this your reality?
We are offering a week of spiritual enlightenment, physical nourishment and mental expansion as we bring you back to your spirit and the spirits of those you have loved and who have loved you for eons.
Honoring spirits who have passed is a powerful celebration throughout Latin America known as Día de los Muertos or the Day of the Dead. It corresponds with All Hallows Eve or Halloween and has inspired us to bring people together to explore the Eternal Spirit and the strong ties we have to those on the other side.
To connect us with the Eternal Spirit, we bring you Natalie Gianelli, one of the clearest and most loving mediums/channels of our time. For 18 years, she has brought messages, insight, wit and wisdom from those on the other side to guide us on the planet. Through her channeled contact with the Grand Spirit of Dr. James Martin Peebles and his “Band of Angels,” we will learn what awaits us when we return to spirit and who we’ll find there. We’ll learn why we chose this human incarnation and how to fulfill the “contracts” we, and those here with us, agreed to before we set out on this human journey.
More About Natalie Gianelli and Dr. Peebles:
has been channeling the spirit of Dr. Peebles for 18 years. She delights in his wisdom, loving nature and lighthearted humor. “It is an absolute privilege and an honor to channel Dr. Peebles,” Natalie says, “I feel blessed to bring his loving energy into the world. As I carry messages from the spirit side to my clients, I am able to be in the company of a beautiful spirit and wonderful universal energy. ” Natalie has clients throughout the United States and around the world. She has traveled across the globe to bring Dr. Peebles wisdom and energy to those who seek a deeper insight into their human incarnation and their spiritual existence.
Dr. James Martin Peebles lived from March 23, 1822 to Feb. 15, 1922, passing just days short of his 100th birthday. He was a medical doctor, naturopath, ordained minister, medium and author, publishing more than 30 books and innumerable newspaper articles and essays.
He has shared with us that after his passing, he was asked by his guides to stay on the spirit side and work through mediums so he would be able to reach countless more people than he could have through reincarnation in a human body. His messages of love and transformation now reach people across the globe through multiple mediums on a daily basis. Dr. Peebles works with his band of angels and your personal spiritual guides, providing insight and guidance from a universal perspective.
He offers insight and advice about relationships, life paths, health, career, past lives, departed loved ones, our contracts with people in our every day lives, the causes of illness and accidents, and the spiritual journey in general.
Insight is within your grasp through this grand spirit.
“Remember that life is indeed a grand adventure. There is no ‘there’ to get to, there is only the journey to your own heart. God bless you indeed.”
