Pat Heavren
It is Pat Heavren’s passion and privilege to be the visionary and coordinator of Sounds from the Sanctuary.
This collection of creative work, the generous contributions of friends and colleagues of Living Source llc, is a rich representation of the many voices of the One Living Source. Pat’s hope is that this virtual listening place will serve as a gathering center, a kind of homecoming for all who make their way here. Her dream is that seeds of fresh perspective can be experienced and shared with others by word of mouth as well as scattered to the wider world through artistic, reflective social media posts for whatever blossom and fruit they bring to and through those they meet.
Pat’s mission and greatest longing is that we each build our personal capacity for remembering that our humanity is our doorway to divinity, and that beneath the chaotic surface of these tumultuous times, there lies the truth that we experience heaven—already dwelling—here on this Earth.
Peter Suchy
Peter’s life dream began with a vision of a quartz crystal sphere in the window of his retail business, set atop of one of Kirby Seid’s specially engineered light boxes, purchased at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. As a gemologist, jeweler, and quartz crystal collector interested in the science of human consciousness, Peter’s interest naturally extended to the meditation and healing practices associated with the crystals as an ancient technology. In time, Peter struck up a collegial relationship with Kirby Seid around this mutual interest and passion.
After meeting and working with Pat Heavren, who supported Peter through a chronic, critical health challenge that ultimately inspired him to live more fully, the storefront dream grew larger. Peter introduced Pat and Kirby and the idea of a collaborative website was born.
Kirby Seid
Kirby Seid is a teacher with an emphasis on both metaphysical and healing applications. He is dedicated to building relationships between the crystal/mineral kingdom and the evolution of human consciousness.

He is also the founder of Ancient Technologies; a business dedicated to the advancement of Resonant Light, combining natural quartz crystals with colored light to create profound transcendent states of awareness.

Together they are passionate about combining technology, the sciences and the sacred, and facilitating an experience of beauty, co-creation, and self-discovery for groups and individuals. ancient-tech.com, seidcrystals.com (coming soon, seids4change.com)
