The vision for The Shift Network came to Stephen while on a meditation retreat: “ I got a powerful sense that we needed a global network connecting people who are activating more conscious lives to create a world that works for all.” Many years later, what began as a flash of insight has transformed into a thriving organization and global leader in online transformational education, media, and events.

Join Kara Johnstad and Stephen Dinan in a heartfelt conversation on the transformational power of Voice. Becoming a Conscious Change Agent is not always easy. Yet, if enough people do the work of transformation, the worst of our problems could be avoided. Our world needs visionary voices. Explore with us how Voice amplifies inner wisdom. Discover how to shift our baseline and become instruments of peace. Learn from Stephen’s path as an author, speaker, teacher, and visionary how Voice can help us co-create a kinder, more peaceful, and liveable world for all.

I am honored to welcome Judy Collins to the Voice Rising Show on July 19th.

My heart opens wide to continue the conversation that began when I heard her voice for the first time. I was 8. Standing in my cornflower blue bedroom, my portable record player spinning her songs, as I looked onto cornfields. As a young singer, I found comfort in her clear, strong voice. She played guitar, piano and sang! Me too, I proclaimed with 12! The Judy Collins Songbook accompanied me to Berlin at the tender age of 20, along with 2suitcases and my guitar. The rest is history. For all the singer-songwriters in the house, stay tuned. Judy Collins and I will deep dive into voice, songwriting, and how our voices and music can play an essential role in social activism and changing our world for the better.

Is it our voice that is the driving force behind creating success and happiness? Each of us carries an influential voice within, but we are often unaware of its impact on our world. Join Voice Visionary Kara Johnstad and New York Times Best-selling author and serial Entrepreneur Trevor Blake in a heartfelt conversation on manifesting abundance magically, creating financial independence, and leading a lifestyle in harmony with our values. Shifting from humble beginnings to building multi-million dollar businesses, Trevor started his first company with just a few hundred dollars. He sold it in 2010 for more than a hundred million. He has since sold two more companies, and he's never hired a single employee or worked more than five hours a day. Trevor has written "Three Simple Steps" and his newest book, "Secrets to a Successful Startup: A Recession-Proof Guide to Starting, Surviving & Thriving in Your Own Venture." Curious about bringing more practical magic into your business and life and using your voice and communication skills to become an ambassador of abundance? Then join us at Voice Rising.

For centuries and across cultures, sacred ceremonies using plant medicine were vital to collective well-being. These long-revered healing plants, ayahuasca, peyote, cannabis, and mushrooms nourished individuals and were crucial for collective well-being. Yet, these long-revered healing instruments have been largely forgotten by today's society. Why? What might we be missing? And what role do music and plants play in nurturing and uplifting body, mind, and spiritual well-being?  Music is a  tuning fork for the brain. Can the frequencies and harmonics in plants inspire healing? Can music help us "get high" and feel good? What role does sound play in building peaceful communities?

Join voice-visionary Kara Johnstad, and GRAMMY® nominated composer, recording artist, and researcher Steven Halpern in an in-depth conversation on sound consciousness and his new album release, Cannabis Dreams.  In 2021, with legalization in many states and with the medical benefits of cannabis more widely accepted -Halpern's co-composed masterpiece is released, and we celebrate.  Learn through plant medicine and music to reprogram unconscious patterns that no longer serve us. Explore the principle of consciousness and change. Co-create a sound world.

An article by Katharina Menzel,
editor-in-chief of the magazine "Gilde der Abenteurerinnen" (Guild of Women Adventurers).

Dear students, parents, and friends of the School Of Voice!

As of May 19, the School Of Voice will once again offer individual and group lessons in presence.

Of course, you are welcome to continue attending classes online.

Please talk to your teachers about the further procedure, so that you can organize the way back to face-to-face classes together.

Our teachers and staff will be there for you as soon as you show up "in person" for your classes, freshly tested and demonstrably healthy - please do the same!

• Every participant of the face-to-face classes has to present a negative test result of an examination for infection with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which is not older than 24 hours!
• For students under 6 years of age and those already tested in schools, the additional testing requirement does not apply.
• Medical mouth-to-nose coverage is sufficient.
  
  

We are very much looking forward to finally making music with you in person again.

With warm regards
Kara Johnstad

The ultimate purpose of creating a visionary business is not to make money. It is to transform the world by doing what we love to do and what we need to do to bring about a new era of peace and prosperity. It takes courage and commitment to materialize dreams into matters that matter. It also takes a bit of playfulness and magic. This is where Marc Allen comes into the game. Join Voice Visionary Kara Johnstad and Marc Allen, Author, Speaker, Teacher, and CEO of New World Library, as they talk about the role that our voice plays in manifesting our dreams.
