Brenda Davies

Born and raised in County Durham, UK, Dr Brenda Davies – Psychiatrist, psychotherapist, medium, author, broadcaster and spiritual teacher, pharmacist, is a very happy mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She has lived a fascinating life which has taken her around the world many times. As Principal of the Brenda Davies International School of Healing and Spiritual Development, she has taught in England, Ireland, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the USA, Turkey, Cyprus, Bali, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and elsewhere. She has loved doing peace and conflict resolution work in many countries that have been ravaged by war. Her great love is Zambia, where she spent many happy and exciting years, however, she is now happily settled in Wales.

Her first attempt at fiction was in her twenties while she was pregnant with her second child. The manuscript still lives in a cupboard at home. Her real writing career began at 55 with the publication of The Rainbow Journey. Several non-fiction books on spirituality and health followed, including Journey of the Soul, which was nominated for the Kindred Spirit Award. At the age of 78, she turned to fiction with her debut novel ‘The Girl behind the Gates,’ which will hopefully be released as a major feature film in the not-too-distant future. At 82, she is happily settled in Wales, where she still works full-time – now mainly online – and writes at every possible spare moment. She loves life and people and nature and is very happy with her lot. She hopes you will enjoy her books and some of which she still has to write. Hopefully, her second novel will be published soon.

Bernhard Ehlen

Bernhard Ehlen SJ (born March 5, 1939 in Berlin) is a German Jesuit and founder of Doctors for Developing Countries (now German Doctors).

Ehlen entered the Jesuit order in 1958. After graduating from Canisius College in Berlin, he studied philosophy, theology, and education. After his ordination in 1968, he taught religion at Canisius College from 1970 to 1971. He then worked as a youth pastor in Hanover until 1975, as well as a religion teacher at the Bismarck School and Tellkampf School high schools[2], and as a teacher and youth worker in Berlin until 1981. From 1982 to 1983, he was a teacher and youth pastor at the Sankt Ansgar School in Hamburg.

In 1981, he also joined the Cap Anamur Committee and worked as a project coordinator in refugee camps in Somalia. These experiences gave rise to the idea for the aid organization “Doctors for Developing Countries,” which he founded in 1983. He served on its management board until 2006. His order released him for this role in the spirit of the option for the poor. From 1986 to 2010 (he resigned), he was a member of the four-member board of “Doctors for Developing Countries.”

From 1984 to 2010, he lived in the Ignatiushaus in Frankfurt am Main[3] and now lives in the Jesuit Caritas retirement home in Cologne-Mülheim, and since 2022 in the Rupert Mayer Community in Munich.

Stanislav Grof

Stanislav Grof (born July 1, 1931) is a Czech-born American psychiatrist. Grof is one of the principal developers of transpersonal psychology and research into the use of non-ordinary states of consciousness for purposes of psychological healing, deep self-exploration, and obtaining growth and insights into the human psyche.

Stanislav Grof was born July 1, 1931 in PragueCzechoslovak Republic.[1] Grof received his M.D. from Charles University in Prague in 1957 and then completed his Ph.D. in medicine at the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in 1965, training as a Freudian psychoanalyst at this time.

Czechoslovakia was the centre of psychedelic research behind the Iron Curtain during the 1950s and 1960s. Grof’s early research in the clinical uses of psychedelic substances was conducted at the Psychiatric Research Institute in Prague, where he was principal investigator of a program that systematically explored the heuristic and therapeutic potential of LSD and other psychedelic substances.[

In 1967, he received a scholarship from the Foundations Fund for Research in Psychiatry in New Haven, Connecticut, and was invited by Joel Elkes[3] to be a Clinical and Research Fellow at Henry Phipps Clinic, a part of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, United States. In 1969, he went on to become Chief of Psychiatric Research for the Spring Grove Experiment at the Research Unit of Spring Grove State Hospital (later part of the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center where he worked with Walter Pahnke. In 1969, Grof also became Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University.

In 1973 he was invited to the Esalen Institute in Big SurCalifornia, and lived there until 1987 as a Scholar-in-Residence, developing his ideas and conducting month-long workshops.[citation needed] In 1977, Grof was the founding president of the International Transpersonal Association, serving as president for several subsequent decades. He went on to become distinguished adjunct faculty member of the Department of Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness at the California Institute of Integral Studies, a position he remained in until 2018.

In May 2020, he launched, with his wife Brigitte Grof, a new training in working with holotropic states of consciousness, the international Grof Legacy Training

DVD Alberto Villoldo

DVD The Healing of the Astral Body | Alberto Villoldo

In his mid-20s, Alberto Villoldo was the youngest clinical professor at San Francisco State University. He headed the Laboratory for Biological Self-Regulation and investigated how energy medicine could alter brain chemistry. One day, Alberto realized in his work that his research needed to be bigger, not smaller—that he was looking through the wrong end of the microscope. He needed to find a system larger than the brain’s neural networks. Many others were already learning the hardware—Alberto wanted to learn how to program the mind to create psychosomatic health.

Anthropological histories indicate that there were people all over the world who claimed to know such things, including the few remaining “shamans” in today’s modern world.

Alberto traded his lab for a pair of hiking boots and a ticket to the Amazon, determined to learn from researchers whose gaze wasn’t limited to the lens of a microscope, from people whose knowledge encompassed more than the measurable, material world he’d learned was the ONLY reality. He wanted to meet the people who sense the spaces between things and perceive the luminous strands that animate all life. Throughout the Andes and the Amazon, there were a number of wise men, or “earth guardians,” who remembered the ancient customs. Alberto traveled through countless villages and hamlets, meeting with numerous medicine men and women. The lack of a written body of knowledge meant that each village brought its own flavor and style to the healing practices that still exist today.

For more than 10 years, Alberto trained with the medicine men of the jungle. In healing his own emotional wounds, Alberto followed the path of the wounded healer and learned to transform old pain, grief, anger and shame into sources of strength and compassion.

From the Amazon, Alberto hiked along the coast of Peru, from Nazca, the site of gigantic markings on the desert floor depicting spirit animals and geometric figures, to the fabled Shimbe Lagoons in the north, home to the country’s most famous shamans. Then, at Lake Titicaca—the sea on the roof of the world—Alberto collected the stories and healing practices of the people from whom, according to legend, the Incas originated.

Along the way, Alberto discovered a series of technologies that can transform the body, heal the soul, and change the way we live and die.

These ancient teachings explain that a Luminous Energy Field (LEF) surrounds us and acts as a matrix or blueprint that maintains the health and vitality of the physical body.

Alberto is the founder of the world-renowned Four Winds Society and the Light Body School. In his teachings and writings, he shares the experience of infinity and its ability to heal and transform us, freeing us from the temporal chains that bind us to sickness, old age, and infirmity.

Carl Wickland

Carl August Wickland (born Carl August Wicklund, 14 February 1861 – 13 November 1945)[1] was a 20th-century Swedish-American psychiatrist and psychical researcher.

Wickland turned away from conventional medical psychology and toward the belief that psychiatric illnesses were the result of influence by spirits of the dead. Wickland came to believe that a large number of his patients had become possessed by what he called “obsessing spirits”, and that low-voltage electric shocks could dislodge them, while his wife Anna acted as a medium to guide them to “progress in the spirit world”. Spiritualists considered him an authority on “destructive spirits” and he wrote a book in 1924, Thirty Years Among the Dead, detailing his experiences as a psychical researcher.[3]

In his book “30 years among the dead” (DOWNLOAD below!) he protocols the dialogues with the deceased souls who entered in a medium (Wickland´s wife!). His work should be standard literature for medical students! Especially the electro convulsive therapy would be useless treating te patients as Wickland did.

Wickland was convinced that he was in contact with a group of spirits known as the “Mercy Band” who would remove the possessors, and help them in the spirit world. Psychologist Robert A. Baker listed Wickland and Arthur Guirdham as early psychiatrists who preferred to “ignore the science and embrace the supernatural”.[4]

Wickland founded the National Psychological Institute in Los Angeles, California to study psychic phenomena.[3] A letter published in a 1918 issue of the journal Science criticized the institute’s promotion of psychic research “under the name of psychology” as an example of “pseudo-psychology”, adding that “the use of such a name involves bad taste and delusion.”[5]
