Carolyn North & Natasha Hoffman

NATASHA HOFFMAN has a degree in Fine Art. For twenty years she taught art and design at Hastings Art College, England, at the same time bringing up her four children. From an early age she was aware of a heightened intuitive ability, and wanting to work in a more personal way with people, she gave up teaching to study various methods of Energy Healing. Since then she has worked with both individuals and the environment, aiming to restore balance and harmony. Honed over the last twenty years, her intuitive skills have broadened, leading her to the Carnac megaliths and the inspirational messages held in them, which became the subject of her first book. In addition to her writing and healing work, Natasha is still a practicing artist and continues to sell her work in England and France.

Her partner Hamilton Hill graduated from Oxford University with an MA in history. For twenty-five years he lived and worked in London as a consultant in commercial real estate. Moving in 1976 to the beautiful Sussex countryside with his family—he has three children—he worked a 200-acre farm run on organic principles until retirement.

Natasha and he divide their time between Dartmouth, England, and the Auvergne in France, where they have restored an old farmhouse. They are members of the British Society of Dowsers.

CAROLYN NORTH works as an energy healer who uses movement and sound. She has written nine books that explore, in memoir form, the intersection of matter and spirit.

She and her husband were members of the Findhorn-inspired community, Shenoa, in Northern California, where she designed the community’s mandala garden and they built the world’s first Permitted rice-strawbale house. She considers herself to be a social activist who uses innovative arts and meditative practice as ways to promote the expansion of consciousness, and she takes great pleasure in all the different forms it takes.

She lives in Berkeley, California, with her husband and has three married children, four grandchildren, and two god-grandchildren.
