LVE AUSTRALIA FACILITATORS

Raj Miles

Raj came from an entrepreneurial world in the travel and boating industry to be fast tracked into the spiritual realms thirteen years ago after being brought to a standstill in his life and circumstances which forced him into letting go, perhaps for the first time. Offering to work for Spirit in the field of communications resulted in the creation of the “Way of the Heart” Journal and the subsequent international spiritual tours, workshops facilitator and events business. Through this service emerged a personal journey of self discovery and awakening to what can be called "A Seamless Life" through the living of Values

Suzanne Stallard

Suzanne has always been involved in communications and human relations in one form or another. She started her working life as a copywriter in Radio and moved into Country then Metropolitan Television in production and promotion. Later she ran her own business for around five years, stopped to have children and do a huge house renovation. Suzanne went back to the workforce reluctantly and eventually ended up in Real Estate for many years. She realized early on that Sales people are teachers and every professional undertaking she has entered has been from the perspective of being people-oriented and helpful, and it has always been successful and rewarding. In recent times 1996 until the present, she and her partner have developed a multi faceted business in Spiritual Group Travel, a Publishing Business and Workshops and events. Over the past three years they have been involved in the creation and development of Karuna Bali Foundation in Indonesia, and its growth into accepting the LVE Associateship for Indonesia. Subsequently they undertook LVE training here in Australia and have become qualified facilitators: "It feels like a natural extension of our skills and desire to serve".

Anna Aranci

Anna's love of travel began as a very young child; this seemed to fuel her childhood wonder about life, what seemed good and bad, and had her questioning what or who God is.

Her career in travel only added to the experiences available to her through this lifestyle. Migrating to Australia after growing up in Europe only deepened this awareness, particularly in relation to her becoming a mother. With the birth of each of her four children a new adventure of discovery began. Over this 23 year period she immersed herself in the many modalities of healing and self development available to her, resulting in her finding great love. This Love facilitated a union, an awakening and a passion for All That Is. It was a natural progression into assisting individuals and facilitating groups to discover their passion and great love.

When invited to a Living Values workshop Anna found herself on yet another adventure and likened it to finding buried treasure, which she is delighted to share with each and every one of you.

Deb Drechsler

Deb delights in sharing her life experience and passion for life, and helping others discover joy, peace and freedom in relationship, within themselves and with others.  Deb comes from a background in hotel management and finance, experienced a marriage breakdown and 8 years as a single mother.   Deb has experienced many years of personal discovery, healing and growth in her endeavour to answer the question – who am I? 

It was during this time of self discovery that Deb found within herself a passion for teaching and helping others find true peace and freedom within their own being.  Deb was introduced to Living Values – this is it she said, this is the program that can really make a difference to anyone, young, old, spiritual or not.  Living Values can change the world. 

Eoin Bell

Eoin grew up in a violent region in New Zealand with racial tension and disharmony.  He discovered during this time a passion for martial arts and a yearning to understand himself and others more fully.  Eoin became a young man without even recognising it.  At the time, he possessed almost no self esteem and very little confidence in himself. 

What began at that time and continues to this day is a life oriented towards growth and an expanded sense of self, and a commitment to a grounded authentic way of living and being of service.

Eoin is open hearted and fully supportive of the Living Values program as a truly wonderful medium for meaningful self growth, helping others discover personal happiness, joy and peace. 

 David Webby

David says Living Values has made a big difference in his relationship with his partner, and has challenged him to live life with more respect and honesty. ‘I have worked with many healing modalities and have found that Living Values inspires one to look deeper within themself rather than sweep it under the carpet. ‘Those ‘Sneaky Values’ have done it again!’

David also loves the format that LV uses in the workshops. Rather than teach someone how they should feel, Living Values encourages one to explore that for themself. ‘I like that’, he says, ‘because teaching is a bit like preaching, whereas facilitating allows people to make their own choices.’

David’s experience in business and the health industry, as well as personal and spiritual growth, has helped him gain many life skills and knowledge. David’s desire is to help people understand themselves and others, both in relationships, and at work, and discover more happiness and peace within their lives.

Victoria Boyle

Victoria spent many years in the corporate world.  After a marriage break up and spending the last six years raising two children as a single mother, Victoria reflects that this time with her children and facing life full on, has been one of the most rewarding experiences of her life.

“I feel there is no greater gift than the experiences life brings us – how we perceive those experiences determines our life path.  Why not see them as a gift for positive and healthy change to create an extraordinary life path”.

Victoria has always believed that her life path has been to help others.  “Even as a child I always knew I would end up working with people to help them find their true essence, that part within them that knows they have so much to offer and to bring that part of them to the forefront for the joy of just being themselves”.

She finds the concept of “Living Values Programme” an amazing, simple and effective tool for life.

“Living Values is such a wonderful concept. It reaches in and tugs at you – little by little, sometimes gently, sometimes not! It allows you to ‘breathe’ – to dig deep and really see the picture of who you are.  It allows you time and space to be yourself, to be accepted and acknowledged.

"I have had so much internal growth by becoming a facilitator.  I am excited with the awareness of the ‘Living Values Programme’ and look forward to facilitating and sharing with others.   It is a subtle, deep, loving and rewarding way of exploring your ‘inner you’, through much laughter, joy and the occasional tear!  Why not just give it a try – magic happens!”

Laura Re

Laura will always remember her seventh birthday wish, "to have an inner happiness so no matter what happened around her, she would always be peaceful on the inside". Her life journey to find inner peace and happiness has taken her all over the world. Having lived in such places as India, France, Bali, England and all over Australia, Laura has acquired diplomas in Health Science, Counseling, Kinesiology and Art Therapy. She has also studied yoga, dance, breath and movement therapy as well as many other mind-body modalities. Her experiences in the field of personal development are extensive and include such things as facilitating self discovery and inner exploration retreats as well as volunteering with both the Royal Children's Hospital and the Burn Survivors network. A highlight in her journey has been the discovery of Living Values Education which she began in April 2009.

"Living Values is profound in the wisdom it contains and I am in awe of its remarkable ability to create positive lasting change in individuals and community. It is not only a powerful catalyst for finding inner peace and happiness; it is fun, playful and outrageously simple!" Laura also adds, "It seeps into your cells and you can really feel the effects of living the values in everyday life. It's profound and practical, a perfect combination!"

Laura's passion has been to live and breathe the core values by bringing them into the most mundane tasks & aspects of life and watching everything around her shift from ordinary to extraordinary!

Joanne Youssef

My passion was always traveling, emerging myself in different cultures and helping others in need, especially children. My adventures started after completing a double degree in Communications and Tourism, when I set off to Thailand to fulfill my passion by working in the aid industry, in an organization that helped assist those affected by the tsunami and also to trace and locate orphaned children.

It was in applying my Transpersonal Art Therapy skills at workshops assisting with the National Burn Survivor Camp and a 6 week 'Art Therapy Program' in schools that I saw firsthand the significance of values in development and growth of all individuals. Discovering Living Values Education followed and I believe in the philosophy and power it offers to each individual - "all these qualities lie deep within us, they just need room to dance, to be understood, felt and to be embodied, and that is where magic happens within us and it has the potential to change lives, in such a simple yet powerful way." It is my fervent desire now to bring into the community the values that I am experiencing myself through this work, so that others can enjoy living in their truth, love, and passion and feel the freedom within their soul as I do.

My vision is to see these values in 'action' - within the school system where it is much needed to help inspire our youth, to motivate and empower individuals and to reach into families and even the business community. As it is said time after time - "to be the change you want to see in the world."

Paula Bendel

My background is Hotel Management and my purpose and passion is to experience truth, light and wisdom through acquiring as much knowledge as I can to live my best possible life while I'm here on earth. I hope, then, to share this information with others who may be interested. My journey towards this progressive realisation of a worthy ideal has taken many paths.

Over the years I have studied a variety of healing modalities and have always enjoyed sharing these with others by working with them to make positive changes in their life and showing them how to care for their mind, body and spirit. I've always believed the heart of education is education of the heart; Living Values Education reflects this and shows how you can live your best life in this ever-expanding universe, where you're never going to get it done and you're never going to get it right, such is the nature of life.

By making conscious contact with the Living Values Education Workshop I learnt the great depth and importance of the emotions and values that we covered. I also realised how much room for improvement there was in my life to fully appreciate and assimilate the values, and that truly excites me. I felt the title of Living Values was an apt one, as the values are alive in that they require constant nurturing, attention, time, energy, love, and last but not least celebration.

Never has there been such clarity in my next step of evolution here in Earth School to be a facilitator for Living Values Education.

I enjoy the connection I feel through facilitating, that space that says love, and sharing my knowledge in a way where I can contribute to another's elevation of spirit, which ultimately uplifts the planet's love vibration.

Nicholas Dacomb

Why do I want to do this? I feel a deep down burning desire when I think of the positive change I can make in the world. The first reason I would like to do this is because it will help me develop and grow as a person, by facilitating values education I too will be continuously learning. Seeing the changes these values can have on one's life I feel the desire to incorporate them into my daily life. In doing so I can be the change I would like to see in the world, leading by example. By facilitating these workshops I will be living my dreams, something we are all capable of.

Throughout my life I have felt inspired to help others; I honestly believe I can have a large impact on many people's lives. Awakening people to their true potential feels like a simple natural process for me. I can give people a greater sense of self with the understanding we are all special in our own unique way, each and everyone has a gift they can share with the world. Life just seems to flow with grace and ease the more one learns about all 12 Values.
