PAUL M. HELFRICH Ph.D.
He has spent the past four decades exploring multidisciplinary approaches as an educator, researcher, webmaster, composer, writer, and lecturer.
He earned his graduate degrees in music composition from Temple University (1985), where he composed classical music and taught music theory, history, and composition. His love of science and technology led him to Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute Science Museum, where he developed major hands-on state-of-the-art science exhibits including What Makes Music? (1987), visited by over two million people in the U.S. and Canada. He spearheaded the formation of The Science Learning Network (1994), a national program promoting virtual community-building among leading science museums and K-8 schools worldwide. His Mindscapes music CD (2003) is available on iTunes, Rhapsody, and Spotify.
His interest in Integral Psychology led him to earn a Level III Spiral Dynamics certification (2003) and Integral Certificate from Fielding Graduate University (2007). Helfrich has authored essays, presented workshops, and lectured nationally on the Seth Material, the channeling phenomenon, and Integral Psychology (see paulhelfrich.com). He has delivered our course, Seth Revealed: Unlock the Secrets of Conscious Creation.

CHRISTOPHER W.E. JOHNSON MSc, MBPsS
Initial exposure to the Seth Material awakened a passion for psychology in him that led to academic study of the subject. By 1998, he had earned an Honours Degree in Psychology from the University of London and a Masters Degree in Organisational and Occupational Psychology from the University of Surrey. Chris is a Member of the British Psychological Society and the Scientific and Medical Network.
Since 2000, Chris has run a private therapeutic practice that adopts an integral approach, combining classic psychotherapy (such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rogerian Counseling, and Psychosynthesis), with alternative procedures (such as Energy Psychology techniques and guided meditation). Following his training under Dr. Brian Weiss in 2007, he added Past Life Regression Therapy to his therapeutic arsenal.
Chris provides resources for learning, healing and community on his website cwejohnson.com. His new Mastery of Self-Compassion Course, based on his book, It’s About You! Know Your Self, will help put an end to your “negative” experiences and live a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
