Arayu - Carol Fitzpatrick and Mark Torgeson Carol Fitzpatrick and Mark Torgeson are co-founders of the Center for Planetary Awakening. Fitzpatrick and Torgeson create intimate spaces for individual self-inquiry and personal growth, and work collaboratively with others to establish new paradigm communities. "We first work in the unified field then bring this pure intentionally created energy into the physical by building structures that support a more harmonious, balanced quality of life." Carol is the author of "Fear Not My Child, I Am Here—Emerging from the Spiral of Fear.  A second book, "A Call to Remember: Follow Your Heart, Change the World was released in the fall of 2008. She is also the author of many published articles and a monthly e-communique called Light Streamings. She has been published in I Am Spirit magazine, and has been interviewed on West Coast radio spiritual talk shows. During the last decade she served at the forefront of the national community policing movement by marketing the philosophy to national and regional community leaders. Prior to that time, she was an entrepreneur in the design and publishing arenas. Mark performs the Music of Transformation for the purpose of helping others to remember who they truly are. Mark has recently composed the music of twenty-seven Topics, a joint project, with Carol, of prophecy and personal and global transformation. His albums Between Mountains and Stars and Sundance in Moonlight have received critical acclaim and attained #1 listings on Acoustic Instrumental and New Age radio station Top Twenty playlists. They have aired in 35 states and internationally. He has performed in solo, ensemble, and orchestral settings. Mark earned his degree in music from Mary Washington College and studied electronic music and composition at Virginia Commonwealth University. He worked for twelve years in the human services arena as a counselor, assisting people with short and long-term mental disabilities. He developed music and vocational programs to empower patients to attain higher levels of autonomy and self-sufficiency. Mark's interest has always been to promote self-actualization and an increased sense of well being within the body/mind system. He has combined this advocacy in the health and human service fields with his formal classical training to produce a body of music designed to both calm and energetically incite the human spirit toward more expanded states of awareness. He is presently creating music designed to activate the light body and repattern DNA. Together Carol and Mark interweave dialogue, stories and music to create an energetic environment of high vibrational frequency for spiritual transformation. Through a system of music and inspired speech, one experiences these higher vibratory patterns and is encouraged to release patterns of self denial and self diminishment while awakening to the essence of Who OneTruly Is. The purpose of this and all sessions is to bring forth information and energetic frequencies vital to those awakening at this time of mass global shifting. Because many are presently many unaware of their life purpose, Carol and Mark have been given a method of most fully activating the process of awakening which is part of our spiritual birthright. What They're Saying... "Carol Fitzpatrick and Mark Torgeson are the very fabric of cultivating global awareness of higher consciousness while embracing the quantum scientific paradigm shift that we are all one. Carol and Mark are cosmic way-makers as they play and create spontaneously with spirit through multi-venues such as workshops, Mark's musicality, Carol's monthly new letter - Light Streamings, and her book Fear Not My Child. It is a mind bending, heart remembering experience to attend an event and watch, listen and participate as Carol co-creates with spirit to weave, light, love, truth, peace and joy into the messages she shares with her audience from spirit." -Krystal Fenn "I want to say Thank You so much for such a rich and rewarding program you gave yesterday at the Festival. Mark's music was extraordinary, following the sound vibrations of every word spoken with the accompaniment of notes that matched the feelings so harmoniously. It deepened the meditations and the intent so beautifully and i felt it from every cell. Carol, the joy that you speak of is incredibly apparent in you. You clearly are one that "walks the walk" of your teachings. But even more, the light that you're channeling is visible. It was incredibly heartening to not only hear your words and Mark's music together, but also to be able to see AND feel the words, the vibrations and the intent. This is what makes your teachings together all the more inspiring. I feel blessed to partake in your vibrational dance. Rock On!  - happy thoughts, S., Virginia, USA I  wanted to express my thanks to you both for a beautiful, joy and love filled evening. I am SO glad that I was there. I do feel as if I am on the fast track, and I do ask for my passage to be with ease and grace, but I also love for the universe to "bring it on" and that is what seems to be happening! Mark, your music is divine. There are no words to describe it. I want to share with you that I saw myself dancing in the company of the most divine beings, and they were clapping and cheering on my sheer joy and Freedom. That is huge for me...The freedom to BE who I am here to BE, and to go forth and find my true calling and path. So THANK YOU both for facilitating this on going process. I truly CAN'T WAIT for the next one! - V.S., Virginia
