Don Miguel Ruiz of The Four Agreements
As Program Director of New Thought Center of Hawaii, I would like to recommend DreamingBear Baraka Kanaan. He spoke for our Sunday service Jan 17, 2010 and led a playshop in the afternoon. Both sessions were well attended and popular with our regular congregants, as well as attracting people we usually don't see in the circle. DreamingBear's wisdom offering was eloquent and accessible. His interactive, playful style was fresh, inspiring and energizing. We loved the way he involved all of us in co-creating a unique experience designed to give each of us an experience of Oneness that went beyond the spoken word. Seeing earth wisdom embodied in our community members as they had fun made me so glad we invited DreamingBear to visit. This gifted communicator called forth from us a way of seeing and a way of being that felt brand new, exciting and adventurous. Seeing creativity expressed and shared in such a spontaneous way was truly a delight you should not miss. Feel free to call myself or another board member with any questions about our experience with DreamingBear and his talented musical accompanists. ~
Aloha from Lorraine Kohn,

“When I had a chance to invite DreamingBear to speak at Unity of Kauai, I was delighted at the surprise I was going to deliver to my congregation. The surprise was mine, though, when my membership asked for several encores and then proceeded to follow him to the rest of his engagements on Kauai. In my 3 years here, I have never seen such a reaction.”~ Rev. Jasmine Schaeffer, Minister, Unity of Kauai
"DreamingBear is the Shakespeare of Quantum Physics, cleverly articulating new science of the heart transmissions that unite universal mysteries with common human understandings." ~Harriet Witt, Astronomer

“DreamingBear, your example and heart-hugs have brought me to the quiet comforts within.

Thank you for being such a catalyst for my own emerging to life most fully.” ~Claire Kellerman, The Maui Permaculture Network
“The first time I heard DreamingBear's voice on the radio, I was mesmerized by his poetry about stars and galaxies. His thoughtful and wise words took me on a spiritual journey through the Milky Way, and as an astronomer, I was ignited by his poems. So I invited Dreaming Bear to be a guest speaker for the Maui Astronomy Club. What an incredible night! Everyone had a fantastic experience. Dreaming Bear's poetry and life stories were so moving and passionate. It was as if he were an ambassador to the stars— interpreting their messages and converting their light into magical spells. The Maui Astronomy Club cannot wait to have Dreaming Bear join us again.” ~ Becky Sydney, President, Maui Astronomy Club
“DreamingBear’s inspiring life story is one in a million, his response to it even more rare, and his loving heart one of the great treasures that life has bestowed upon me. I would encourage anyone who finds themselves at this spot, on his website, for whatever reason they got there, to make sure that you don’t miss the opportunity to listen to him, watch and feel him as he flows his poetry.”~ Grace Purusha, Master Health Coach, author of “The Five Essential Laws of Eating”

"As DreamingBear began casting a playful spell of love in evolution, I found myself cradled in a place of the heart where quantum physics meets unconditional love. What happened was a cracking open of awareness to ”being” - in this moment – in authentic commune-ication with life, in commune–ity with each and every as my source." ~ Alan Tower, world musician, Green Music Network Director
"DreamingBear was an absolute delight at Unity in Redding. He gave the Sunday message & meditation & folks were hungry for more - we had a great turnout for his Lovevolution Workshop. Congregants are still talking about what they learned from DreamingBear. His message of love and his commitment to peace and joy no matter the circumstances reached their hearts. His Native American & Palestinian heritage plus his life experiences give him a most authentic ground to challenge people to release any limitations and move into living from love. And, last but not least, his superb gift of artistry with words blessed us all. We are looking forward to his return." ~ Rev. Sandra Soley Keep, Unity in Redding, Redding, CA
