ANGELICA CUBIDES - Ordained Minister, she serves Jesus' Ministry of Unconditional Love, and Micah (The Angel of Indivisible Unity) for integration and healing by recognizing our Divine Heritage.
Born in Ecuador, Angelica has always been an intuitive and sensitive spiritual person. Since early in her life, she experienced other dimensions and entered into the Light, which heightened her clarity to see the higher aspects of humanity and all of life. Experiencing the effects of the vibrational sounds of words has enhanced her sensitivity, awakened her soul, and forged her commitment, to explore more deeply in the power of unconditional love emanating through and around all life. This became the source of inspiration for her teachings, healings, music, and poetry, which exhorts all of us to be guardians of the environment, promoters of brotherhood, and joyful peace builders. Her childhood experiences bring an urgency to share with parents, teachers, and children how the sensitivity of a young soul can be impregnated with the seeds to change the lives for the betterment and the awakening of humanity. This is Angelica's heartfelt prayer.
During the journey, she was invited to the activities of The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom. The materials of the Ascended Masters resonated to the core of Angelica. Because of her understanding and appreciation of the blessing of such materials, she was entrusted by the Founding Members of The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom to continue with the expansion of their teachings. Angelica Cubides has been serving local, national and international communities in numerous capacities, as well as United Nation's Non Governmental Organizations as a Representative of the World Peace Prayer Society; a member of Women Rising; and as a Representative of the International Public Policy Institute. Additionally, she is an Advisory Board member of the Source of Synergy Foundation; the Co-Founder of Heart to Heart
(Corazon a Corazon), an organization that helps children with cardiovascular conditions to receive necessary operations; and a Co-Founder of the Andes Foundation, as well as many other philanthropic organizations making a significant impact on communities.
With infinite hope and unshakable faith, Angelica's journey is to assist those fellow travelers who are ready and willing to recognize OUR DIVINE HERITAGE, and to enhance the limitless potentialities for a harmonious and fulfilling life!
The ministry of Angelica Cubides is dedicated to the service of Unconditional Love and the Spirit of Unity, aspiring to seize the cosmic tide, to elevate the consciousness of humanity, to transcend from the river of life to the Bridge of Light, and to recognize our divine heritage from this higher reality. May we bring peace to the world, the birthright of all God's children.

KEVIN NATHANIEL - A visionary musician who, with voice and ancient African instruments, channels sound as a universal healing force. Together, breathing rhythms to the beat of our synchronized hearts, Kevin Nathaniel resonates songs of unity and the “big picture” of love in beautiful ways! A long-time devotee of mbira, kalimba, circle song, drum, dance, meditation, and yoga; a world-traveled music healer sharing the musical medicine of the ancient, the now, and the beyond, Kevin Nathaniel brings a fresh, deep experience of the beauty of sound.
Kevin Nathaniel’s music is an invitation for all to come together, to share in song, laughter, positivity, movement, prayer, and breath.
He tours solo and/or with ensemble depending on event, performing in major concert halls, festivals, music clubs, ceremonies, etc. He often plays in the shamanic healing world as many experience mystical, spiritual, and healing vibrations in the music he shares. He also conducts music workshops/playshops for polyphonic circle singing, breath rhythms, body music and movement, mbira, kalimba, rattle percussion, and instrument playing or building.
Kevin Nathaniel was “called” to music by the magical sound of the mbira immediately and mysteriously after graduating “Scholar of the House” at Yale University.

He has worked with a great variety of artists including Alice Walker, Oprah Winfrey, Jonathan Demme, Thomas Mapfumo, Miriam Makeba, Bobby McFerrin, Niles Rodgers, Madonna, Philip Glass, and Nana Vasconcelos.

Andrew Kaen is Executive Producer/Event Manager and Founder of the Annual World Peace Earth Day Celebration which began in 2007. His passion for bringing people together in community for world peace and oneness is at the heart of his events. He is also the Founder of Planet Heart, an umbrella organization and project under his fiscal sponsor of We, The World, a non profit 501 (c) (3) organization. He was diagnosed with a deadly 3.5 centimeter acoustic neuroma tumor in 2005 that was in his head on top of his brain sharing a blood vessel with his left ear canal, which left him deaf in his left ear post surgery, in addition to damage to the left side of his face, and gave him a very powerful wake-up call to being alive. Being on a spiritual journey since his becoming “Awakened” in 1996 and then after his operation, he found solace in spirituality, oneness and healing and decided to share that with he world, having a burning desire and calling to do annual earth day events merged with the vision of world peace. During a period of time he was channeling powerful Vibrational Healing Poems and music with the theme of peace & the realization of our true potential and is intending on finally publishing his complete poetry book of awakening. Since being Awakened, he is also a Sound Channel Healer with light language, music and chants. Going by the name ReAwakennd, his name is an acronym of his real name Andrew Kaen and defines who and what his life purpose, mission and passion is all about and why he does these events - reawakening to our own truth as human beings helping us all remember and realize "we are all One” and that we need to work together collectively to co-create for a better humanity and world.
