Janny Koster  The United Kingdom
I am 41 Years old, Dutch and living in Milton Keynes in the U.K. A mother of two, I am a 'linguist' by paid profession, but am also a trained Healer. Certain things happen , we meet people for a reason, sometimes over and over again during several lifespans. I have met some incredible people over the years, some in passing, some who come in and out of my life when I need them and some who have remained as firm and constant friends. All of them are Lightweavers in their own way. The ripples of change are being felt by many, we are all part of that change, and if in some way we can assist then we should not turn away."

Judy Ray
Hi, I am Judy Ray. I believe I am contributing some good to the world by translating into French these messages that I have faith in. I started out a student of the French language. I get better by the paragraph. I am a Technical Writer; I write instructions and how-to, why-to and what-fors for products. The translating is a pasttime for me, as others enjoy puzzles. I have unbounded imagination and interests. I spent the first 2/3 of my life doing what I was told I should do and doing my duty. Now I plan to spend the last 1/3 of my life doing what is interesting. Like translating the Global Village News. Sometimes we get what we wish for, so it is true you should take care in wishing. After telling my friend I wanted to work someplace exciting like Australia, I have been offered a job in Australia. I am afraid of the problems and possible financial loss, but outweighing this fear is the excitement of seeing all the interesting things there, including the Aborgine cosmic cave drawings and their stories. I will email from a cybercafe in Sydney instead of the local library.

German
Anke Hees-Griffiths Kreuztal, Germany.
I was born and brought up in Germany, then lived in England for 7 years and now back at my place of birth. The German word 'Anker' means 'anchor' and part of my mission is to anchor the energies of the global heart chakra (SW England) in Germany, working with power sites, helping to heal and re-align the subtle energy grids. I work for Wholistic World Vision in Germany ( http://globalvisions.org/cl/wwv)   organising tours to power sites in this country and occasionally assisting Simon Peter Fuller of WWV UK with translations on tours and seminars. Apart from that I work in an export sales office, to finance my spiritual work and to spread some light in the business world...

Rita Newman Austria
I am an Austrian citizen, born in a stormy winter night on December 7th,1970. My official education I received in secondary school and the University of Vienna, where I finished the studies of art history with the title of a Magistra phil. Besides my studies I assisted a portrait photographer, who showed me the world of lenses, lights and shadows. Since 5 years I work as an independent photographer. My unofficial education was given to me from the spiritual teacher Barry Long from Australia, who showed me the real world within.

I became aware of Jose Arguelles' work & the Harmonic Convergence when I moved to the Big Island of Hawaii with my mate, Shane & pregnant with our son in 1987. We in fact got married at Dawn on 17 August 1987 on a beach at Kailua-Kona under a huge totem pole that Shane had carved, depicting hundreds of spiritual symbols from around the world. We later moved to Australia & then back to California. We also lived & worked in Prague. Both of us have been working towards manifesting a vision (of a healing retreat & travelling environmental art show, as ways of contributing to the larger Vision of a global community living in harmony with the Earth & all beings) together & individually in several countries over these past years - Shane through the wood carving (check out www.protectalllife.org & www.organicshane.com ) and myself through dance, photography, organic veg. gardening, community work, healing et al.

As for my brief bd, well I suppose you could just describe me as a person you described yourself so often in your editorial, A WORK IN PROGRESS . (I really like that term, and I've been using it when I talk to some people ....for me it's good description of the ever-shifting human consciousness in the absurdity and paradox of events) Each of us is Final and yet ever-evolving. And this is for me the beauty of life once you understand Cycle of Time. Our task here is not just to understand our role in the each cycle, but also to assist others, opening the door for others to understand their own specific roles. I come to a point where I see that assisting others (by others is not just our fellow human, but other inhabitants of this cosmos) for me is to open more windows and door to assist them see and understand their roles in the Cycle of Time.

Bernard Claviere Ibiza, Spain
Exiled on a small spanish island for the last 21 years, Bernard considers himself a rebel, anarchist, agitator (Don't be afraid to be an agitator. The agitator is the center post in the washing machine that gets the dirt out. - Jim Hightower).

Like all people engaged consciously on the path of evolution, he believes in - personal authenticity, development and spirituality, - holistic healing, - ecological sustainability, - social justice, and - caring about what happens personally, locally and globally.
