Karl Herrmann is widely recognized for his imagery, both in motion picture cinematography and still photography. He has created memorable images from the Himalayas of Nepal to the Andes of Argentina and from the plains of Africa to the jungles of the Amazon.
He has lent his wide ranging visual skills to such Hollywood blockbuster movies as “E.T.”, “The Right Stuff” and “I, ROBOT”, to mention but a few. In television, he was the creative visual inspiration to such hit shows as “Touched by an Angel” and “Dawson’s Creek”. Karl’s silver gelatin black & white landscape photography is represented in museums, galleries and private collections throughout North America.
But it is here and now that we see the genesis of a new vision Karl is developing. He has combined his world-class skills as a cinematographer with his love of the natural world to create movie-like windows into his visionary world. And, like the silver screen format he is so used to, these landscape images can be made quite large. Karl uses a digital process to produce this color work, yet he strictly adhere to the original vision provided by nature. No digital ‘tricks’ are utilized in any of these images.
Karl makes his home in Vancouver, Canada.
Karl has taken photos of many of Science to Sage events and was instrumental in the development of Silbury Education and Resource Centre. With great appreciation – Karen Elkins

Patricia Taylor is Vancouver’s local underground adventurer and creator of the popular and internationally acknowledged Monthly Adventure website.
After graduating with two degrees in science, she formed an environmental consultant business and worked as a Project Manager on a multi-million dollar program. During this time, she researched human interest stories for several documentary films – one of which was selected for the 2007 Montreal World Film Festival (Eddibu).
While these experiences laid the foundation for her continuing quest to understand the world we live in, personal tragedy struck and lead Patricia to do the unthinkable – she walked away from a successful career. Taking her life in an entirely new direction, Patricia committed to exploring provocative subjects by having one adventure, once a month, for the rest of her life.
With a quest for knowledge and a thirst for adventure, Patricia opened her eyes to over 40 unique experiences, each one a journey beyond her wildest dreams. From the physical to the psychological, she trained as a psychic spy, donated her body for scientific exploration, received her skipper’s certification, participated in a First Nations sweat lodge ceremony, became a hypnotherapist, studied the ancient Chinese art of face reading, and learned how to hunt ghosts – just to name a few.
Since the inception of the Monthly Adventure website in December 2010, thousands of visitors from across the world bear witness to her unforgettable journeys and compelling stories. With only a quarter of her exploits written to date, her mission is to inspire others to break free from the conventional. Patricia is living proof that sometimes life is an unexpected adventure just waiting to happen.
Cheryl Lee Harnish was exposed to the world of metaphysics at a very early age. Her father was infatuated with the paranormal and ESP. It was a natural event to sit around the kitchen table with her siblings playing spoon-bending or guessing the suit of a card. The fun of play quickly left when it became more of a show of ability. The pressure of having to “perform” was overwhelming. She would put that part of her life far behind her until many years later.
After undergoing many sessions of hypnotherapy for depression, Cheryl’s intuitive abilities spontaneously re-opened to her after a particular session where she had a profound and life changing experience. During this particular session she found herself in the presence of Archangels. Her understanding of herself and her gifts would be forever changed.

“My purpose is to create. In that process I find stillness and rhythm, my teacher and passion. I believe that art can be a life shaking experience, or an intimate rendezvous. For me it is both.
I place intention in what I create. Either through words, actions, thoughts, or artwork, I aim to share honesty and awakening. To celebrate this fantastic adventure. To inspire and be inspired.
I begin with planting seeds of ideas, and intuitively progress through the piece. I go on a journey with each painting; evolving together. I am constantly surprised and inspired by what is translated by my imagination and hands.
Thereafter, your story is whispered. A reflection of light and shadow of your human beauty, your geometric perfection, and your ancient divinity.”
