Philip Shepherd with COVID is Us

Philip Shepherd originated The Embodied Present Process™ (TEPP), a unique set of practices that reunite the intelligence of the head with that of the body. He is the author of two ground-breaking books, New Self, New World: Recovering Our Senses in the Twenty-first Century, and Radical Wholeness: The Embodied Present and the Ordinary Grace of Being. He has also developed an app based on his work, which can be found at TEPP.life.

Philip’s work draws on a lifetime of research and adventure that includes cycling alone as a teenager through Europe, the Middle East, Iran, India and Japan; studying classical Noh Theater in Japan; designing and building several houses; co-founding an arts magazine, Onion; co-founding an interdisciplinary theatre company; writing two internationally produced plays and a television documentary; and playing lead roles on stages in London, New York, Chicago, and Toronto.
Until recently, Philip was often traveling the world sharing workshops and Facilitators Trainings. Now? He is as creative and productive as ever in the home that he and his wife designed and built (where they raised their family) on a (now quieter) island located a short ferry ride south of Toronto, Ontario in Canada.

John Thompson, Philosophical Accountant

The notes John made for their conversation about human evolution and the mystery of life became the draft of books that Lynn helped him edit in the following year. John Thompson, Philosophical Accountant, was an in-studio guest for the "live" radio show of his daughter Lynn Thompson on CHLY in Nanaimo BC Canada on September 1, 2009 after their epic drive through the Canadian Rockies. Thank you for listening.
Happy Father's Day, Dad. I sure enjoyed editing the recording of our conversation afresh for sharing today. (AE John Thompson 1927-2019)

Kathryn Goodwin Tone with The King‘s Broad Arrow

Historical fiction novel set in the early years of the American Revolution, exploring ideas behind the Revolution through the eyes of Sam Nevens, a young man who is skeptical about both the war and himself. Following the launch of The King’s Broad Arrow in February 2020, Lynn Thompson welcomed Kathryn to be her guest (14 minutes). Kathryn Goodwin Tone, author of The King’s Broad Arrow, has been recognized twice, as an Eric Hoffer Award Finalist and as a winner in Juvenile Fiction by Indie Excellence Awards.
The King’s Broad Arrow is Kathryn’s first book and is self-published.
Kathryn is an American who has lived abroad for most of her adult life. She has worked as a teacher for kids of all ages. Her experiences with children in school and as a mother were part of her inspiration to write a novel for young people, to share some life lessons and a fascinating stage in American history. Although Kathryn began her book in 2013, its message – that citizens must step up and work toward the kind of country they want to be a part of – is even more timely now.
Special tip of the hat to Kim Eley of KWE Publishing who brought three women together in April 2019 when Kathryn was ready for an editor – Lynn, with Living on Purpose Communications – and for an illustrator, Crystal Cregge, President and Creative Director at Liona Design Co, who created highly-engaging illustrations, and also completed the layout of the book for publication.

Sandy Levey-Lunden with On Purpose

Sandy Levey-Lunden, seminar leader, life coach, and personal counselor, founded her coaching company, On Purpose, in 1982. She developed The Power of Clearing Process for healing emotional and spiritual wounds. Her “Clearing Process” is used throughout North American by many counselors and coaches because of the simple and effective approach.
“When we don’t deal with the trauma left behind from abuse and misperceptions, we live in a cloud of fear, guilt and negativity,” Levey-Lunden adds. “That guilt and fear cements repeated patterns of behaviour, which perpetuates an increasing downward cycle of poor health, failed relationships and negative thinking.”
Sandy’s workshops are held within a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. With Sandy’s expertise and guidance, she helps participants to relearn communication skills and transform their lives. She quotes Wayne Dyer, “When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change.”
In 2008, Lynn Thompson became aware of Sandy and her Youth on Purpose project in Sweden in the mid-1990s. A copy of the DVD The Difference was in a friend’s home where she was visiting. Lynn called Sandy’s number on the back of the DVD (in Bellingham, Washington), and found out that she and Len Satov (of Vancouver, BC in Canada) were going to be on Vancouver Island the next day, Sandy’s first return to the Island in five years. Some things in life obviously Want to Happen, and so the three of them met up the next day near Nanaimo, BC to talk about recording a conversation, which happened a few days later after Sandy and Len had worked with a family “up island” in Campbell River.
In January 2021, Sandy was referred to Lynn through her network when looking for an editor in preparation to publish her book about her life work and courses (which now number 24!). The magic continues! The next step was for Lynn to edit the audio of this 40-minute recording from 2008. Yellow Point Lodge by the beach was the location for the first half, with the conclusion in the ferry line-up when Sandy and Len were waiting to catch the ferry for Vancouver.
