The Six Fold Path ~ Aligning with the 2012 Transition: This 2-hour presentation by Dr. Joe Marshalla represents his latest work and discoveries concerning the quintessential understandings we must have in order to align ourselves with the planetary transformation and transition we are experiencing on Earth. Based on 30 years of research and observation, this practical approach to the alignment with our true nature is unlike anything else being presented today. Within these two hours, you will be shown new models, concepts and perceptions as well as be given new tools that will last a lifetime.

With over 20 million people following his work, Dr. Joe has found a note that everyone can sing. He has no agenda beyond finding every possible avenue of expression to bring us all together, at least in thought, so that we may converse and interact in balance within ourselves, with each other and with all of life in the environment.

Joe has been described as a living legend, a genius, a visionary, free-range yogi and swami… yet he likes to think of himself as an average Joe.

“… he’s as fierce as a lion and as playful as a kitten.”
- The New York Times

“Joe creates such a safe place of ‘Us-ness,’ that anyone can contemplate and reconsider their relationship to reality fresh and new.”
- Ram Dass

Dr. Joe Marshalla is a deeply passionate man. His spiritual, philosophical, scientific and psychological explanations and insights on the current human condition are like no other in evidence right now. His thoughts and models provide an overview of the current evolutionary transition upon us, and assist one in finding and applying their contextual authentic expression within, with and to the self and the extended self of humanity.

He’s responsible for discovering a new law about our reality that supersedes and governs all other laws within our perceptual, psychological and spiritual reality. It is called “The Law of Repeatlessness.” As a result of this law, his subsequent conclusions and explanations about life in relation to modern thought, psychology, philosophy, spirituality and quantum physics is, to the best of our knowledge, unparalleled.

Joe’s work is to find and then convey the fundamental, quintessential understandings required to assist in the transformation of our species. He rigorously studies all current emerging patterns in our behavioral schematics as a species, and then applies the current scientific, philosophic, anthropological, and spiritual understandings he’s gleaned from a lifetime of committed study with each of the sciences and philosophies, as well as his unique perspective due to his death experiences.

He write books, produces videos, creates tools, participates in public forums and public actions and spends every waking hour assisting everyone he can to truly understand themselves and each other. For more information about Dr. Marshalla please visit his website Repeatlessness.

Dr. Marshalla will be available throughout the entire festival and looks forward to meeting all the parts of himself that appear in the form of others

We will explore the origins of water, and the uses of water for ceremony and healing. As time allows, we will explore the current world water situation and our survival locally and globally. Each participant will receive a hand out of references for further exploration. Since I am a student of R.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: This interactive singing workshop will guide you through traditional techniques to develop & express emotion through sound. The musical source of Sufi qawwali and most other traditional Indian/Pakistani genres (Bhajan, Ghazal & Classical) is raaga, which is melody defined by sentiment. Exploring the heartʻs subtle feelings is essential to the Sufi path, so come join us for a sweet taste of traditional qawwali training.

BIOGRAPHY: Tahir started studying Indian Classical music at the young age of 14. He had begun learning the tabla. Four years later his undying devotion for this style of music took him to India for his first time. Seeking the yogi’s of the Himalayas and teaching himself Sanskrit, he found that music was his path towards the one.

Studying under vocal masters Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Pashupati Nath Mishra, Sher Ali Khan, Muazzum Qawwal and various others Tahir embodies the potency of ecstatic devotion. Every day Tahir is devoted to the never-ending knowledge of raga. Through his vast knowledge he’s ability to transliterate the ancient Qawwali songs brings Fanna-Fi-Allah into manifestation. Tahir has been the founder, leader, inspirer and vision holder of the first and only western-based Qawwali party, Fanna-Fi-Allah. His by-lingual education of English, French, Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi and Pharsi is only growing to bring his students and audience to a deeper understanding of Qawwali music. Teaching vocal and music theory for 6 years, Tahir returns to the east, India and Pakistan every year. Where he performs and continues to expand his knowledge with the masters.
