The Luminaries, united by their vision for peace, being the change, being the message, being receptive, being connected--and emanating this radiant glow--each individually-- and exponentially amplified as a collective.... The Luminaries blend their talents as poets, MC's, rappers, singers, musicians, producers, and composers, appealing to all audiences... often including guest musicians, DJ's, and poets to collaborate and be the example of what we can create when we work together..the enormous impact we have when we join forces, promoting love, open-hearted giving and receiving, truth, service, family and the light that beams from every soul...
Each Luminary lives their words, focusing energy into activities such as: working with homeless youth, community pro-activism, holistic health and nutrition, teaching energy cultivation and meditation practices, supporting earth conscious living, and hosting events that bring people together to celebrate life through music, dance and creative expression therby raising the love vibration of the planet.

"When you are in a room where Faith is performing, your heart opens, your joy explodes and your body moves! Faith has the unique ability to bring people of all ages together in joy and passion." -Sri/Kira

Her uplifting music can be heard on TV with her five artist releases and as a session singer with artists like Luther Vandross, on Neil Young's Grammy-nominated "Living with War" album, and most recently on World Peace One's theme song "Give Your Love" with Al Jarreau, Brian Mcknight, & artists from around the globe calling for an end to all war.
As a Positive Music Artist based in Long Beach, CA, the impact of her transformational songs have been far-reaching!

Jayla
"When the synergy of love and understanding combine with talent and style
you discover all that is the extraordinary band Jayla! We have experienced
their joy and commitment to the upliftment of the world for many years now
and celebrate that they are adding this element to the musical gifts of the
2012 Quantum Leap!" -Sri/Kira
Nikki Thompson (Vocals/Guitar) and Diane Kelly (Vocals/Guitar) are the songwriting force and front women of a unique and soulful pop rock group. JAYLA's energetic style is rhythmic, percussive, and clearly embraces a distinct sound even when this dynamic duo performs their songs in their raw acoustic form. JAYLA hires professional backing musicians to fill out their sound when booked for full band performances at venues and music festivals around the U.S., and for studio recordings.
Sophia
"What does an angel sound like when she sings? Sophia offers this answer in so many extraordinarily inspired and loving ways! To offer yourself the gift of EXPERIENCING her music is a gift that opens the heart to receive whatever is perfect in the moment! We personally had the profound gift of listening to Sophia's music while Kira was going through her second cancer experience. We KNOW that this gift was part of the healing into wholeness and the resurrection of our Divine destiny. We are delighted Sophia is bringing this gift to the 2012 Quantum Leap for everyone to experience." -Sri/Kira
Drawing on decades of creating music and healing sound to facilitate the opening of the heart and integration of body/mind/spirit, Sophia shares a deep exploration of the transformative power of the voice. Using simple yet profound tools of toning to energize, integrate and align the Chakra system, along with our intention, we can clear blockages to our unique dynamic, healing expression. Opening this "Inner Flute" allows the divine to play more clearly and beautifully through us.
Sophia offers instruction in the powerful evolutionary practice of Mongolian Overtone Chanting, which has been shown to increase vibrational frequency, open higher centers and realign us on a cellular level. With our empowered voices we will practice delightful ways of healing ourselves and others, and close our time together with song and Sacred Circle Dance.
Sophia, who calls herself a Songhealer, has been creating and providing musical inspiration for countless gatherings since the 60s. She has released eleven recordings, since 1978, of inspiring, uplifting healing vocal music, accompanied by World Class musicians. Her releases include her latest, Chakra Healing Chants and Spirit Healing Chants, as well as Hidden Waters/Sacred Ground, Sophia~Return, and Journey Into Love. She lives in Carmel Valley at the Hidden Waters Sound Sanctuary. Visit her at www.songhealer.net. Many Musical Blessings!
