Positive Vibrations

Gilles "Happy Head" Gagnon

Although Gilles has a background in computer science, his passion is music.   In May 2003, after 20 years working in the corporate world, he quit in order to pursue his fascination.  His spiritual journey and his dedication to self-discovery led him to explore music, sound and rhythms.  He now devotes much of his time programming the synthesizer, composing and experimenting with many aspects of music.  Gilles and his music colleague Dave met and formed “Journey Through Soundscapes” in order to share their spirit and passion with the world.

Dave "Vibrating Dave" Hickey

David's passion for his current endeavour has evolved over many years and experiences, beginning with a love of music that blossomed in the early 90's while touring North America following the Grateful Dead.  During this time a new spirit was born through hand drumming, traveling and focusing on a more evolved spiritual life. From that grew a business, “Positive Vibrations”.  David then discovered the Quartz Crystal singing Bowls.  The Bowls have changed his life and he now shares his passion with Gilles through “Journey Through Soundscapes”

Medicine Beyond Paradigms

As in any field of human knowledge, peoples’ views on health care substantially depend on a paradigm they subscribe to. History of medicine saw alternating domination of two major paradigms – holism versus reductionism. This is reflected in the existing controversy of mainstream allopathic medicine and complementary/alternative medicine. We are witnessing a new paradigm shift towards the holistic approach to health and disease. Being more drastic than ever before, this shift brings us a multidimensional worldview providing for integration of different approaches in ONE MEDICINE, which rises beyond paradigms.

Claude D'Angelo - Psychic Medium

As a child, Claude knew things, could feel things, hear things and even smell things that were not explainable. Since his family did not understand Claude's special gift and ability, he was not encouraged to use it. He kept these visions and feelings to himself. But his life changed forever one day, when he was contacted by a persistent Spirit who had suddenly passed away.
He has since conducted readings and delivered messages from "the other side" with the help of his Master Guide Matteo. Communication of love and appreciation is often relayed to those who attend the readings.
