SANDY FOX AND FRIENDS

Presenters


Michael Bernard Beckwith
Michael Bernard Beckwith is a world leader and teacher in the New Thought–Ancient Wisdom tradition of spirituality. He is the founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center, cofounder of the Association for Global New Thought, and the Season for Nonviolence, which are extensions of his vision of one human family united on a foundation of peace, based on the spiritual origin of every man, woman, and child.

In 1986 Rev. Beckwith founded the Agape International Spiritual Center, a transdenominational community which today counts a membership of 9,000 devoted to the study and practice of New Thought–Ancient Wisdom.

Recently described in “What Is Enlightenment?” magazine as a "non-aligned trans-religious progressive," Rev. Beckwith shares his powerful conviction of creating the Beloved Community through his participation on international panels with other peacemakers and spiritual leaders including His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet, Dr. T. Ariyarante of Sri Lanka, and Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mohandas K. Gandhi. He is co-founder of the Association for Global Thought, an organization dedicated to planetary healing and transformation. Rev.

Beckwith teaches meditation, scientific prayer, and speaks at conferences and seminars. He is the originator of the Life Visioning Process, a time-tested technique offering its practitioners a method for putting a stop to being a passive tourist in one's life. He is author of Inspirations of the Heart (currently nominated as a finalist for the Nautilus Book Award), Forty Day Mind Fast Soul Feast, A Manifesto of Peace, and Living from the Overflow.

Recently, Rev. Beckwith shared his teachings on the universal laws governing the universe in the movie The Secret and has recently appeared on Oprah and Larry King Live.

Rickie Byars Beckwith
Rickie Byars Beckwith is an internationally acclaimed singer, composer, lyricist, arranger and recording artist of uplifting, healing music that spans genres and defies classification. She is widely recognized as a pioneer in spiritual music and the songs, many of which are written with her husband, Michael Bernard Beckwith, are a profound experience that lift the spirit and touch the soul.

As Music and Arts Director of the Agape International Spiritual Center in Culver City, California, Rickie BB, as she is lovingly known by her spiritual community, directs both the 150 voice Agape International Choir and the seven-piece Agape House Band. Rickie has co-produced and recorded five solo albums as well as five albums with the Agape Choir under her direction. Always in demand, their concerts and performances at such prestigious venues as Lincoln Center, The United Nations, the Greek Theatre, the John Anson Ford Theatre, Royce Hall at UCLA and the Maui Arts and Cultural Center inspire peace and goodwill in the global community, using the universal language of music. Their most recent performance at the Universal Gibson Amphitheatre to a packed audience of 6500 people for the Agape Easter service was truly outstanding.

Rickie and Michael's songs have been featured on television shows including Strong Medicine, The West Wing, Days of Our Lives, Starting Over and I Married a Princess. She has been the featured in numerous magazine articles and seen most recently in the centerfold of March 2007 URB Magazine alongside her daughter and current producer, Georgia Anne Muldrow. Rickie BB's upcoming release entitled, Supreme Inspiration will be released this summer.

Raised in Charlotte, North Carolina and Atlanta Georgia, Rickie emerged early as a unique, multi-faceted musical talent, learning from choir directors in the segregated school systems of the South. The radio music of the 60's and 70's - especially the sound of Motown, Memphis, and Liverpool - helped form the foundation of her style which crosses all musical boundaries. Her rich beginnings in gospel, rhythm, and blues, were augmented by her studies at Morris Brown College in Atlanta, where she first started composing songs. In New York, she continued to mature as an artist, working as a lead singer with the Pharaoh Sanders Ensemble, Roland Hanna and the New York Jazz Quartet, Howard Johnson, Jiggs Chase, Thad Jones and many others who loved the originality of her musical style. But it was not until Rickie journeyed to Los Angeles that she was allowed to see the that the true purpose for her gift was not for herself but for the healing of nations and even more for the joy of God.
