Our Statement of Intent
Whispers of Spirit and Presence Online Magazine are a
conscious creation in the global community.
We choose to align with integrity, respect, and most importantly, Love.
Whispers of Spirit is a new paradigm, where we live in the Quantum Field of Creation
& Love, thrive in our fullest potentials, and with open heart create joy and beauty in each moment with prosperity. By connecting with and supporting others with this same intent, we magnetize a transformational grid of partnership, abundance, and divinity.
A History
We were delighted to announce that the first issue of the Whispers of Spirit publication, to enlighten and inspire, debuted on June 21st, 2004, under the cover organization of InSpirit. On June 1, 2005, we let go of the name InSpirit (which you will see on early publications), so we can fully embody Whispers of Spirit!
We, as co-founders of Jennifer Salness and Laura Stellmach, had been hearing the “whispers” for a few months to produce a publication in print, to expand the network of individuals and businesses which supported holistic, spiritual, and metaphysical living. Our intent for Whispers of Spirit was to provide a publication of resources and information for the community, created in love, integrity. When we work in divine partnership with Spirit, miracles happen. We hope to reach as many people as possible with our words that will teach, support and encourage, and embrace our life experiences to share with others. As more people awaken to a spiritual path, we provide a network of resources for people to find their soul family and friends and remember they are not alone. We choose to support holistic, spiritual, and metaphysical practitioners and businesses, and will offer affordable advertising space for your businesses and events.
As of December 2008, we shifted the publication to an online only metaphysical magazine.
And now, as of March 2011, we adopted the name Presence for our online magazine. Whispers of Spirit will remain as the heading organization.
The Whispers of Spirit Expo was created in 2005, following a number of intuitive "hits" from a few people and some divine connections. Not really knowing what to expect, we just put our heart into it, following our intuition, and were astounded to see over 300 people show up on the day of the Expo! Attendance doubled in 2006, and continued to grow by leaps and bounds each year. We were thrilled to keep organizing this Annual Expo with high quality and ethical businesses and practitioners who support the vision of Whispers of Spirit. We consistently get feedback about the high energy and integrity of the day, where everyone has respect for each other, connections of the Light are made, laughter and fun are abundant, and people feel like they grow and expand spiritually. In 2008 we organized the Conscious Kids Expo, as well as our final Whispers of Spirit Expo. Guidance told us it was time to take a break from our Expo. We continue to support other events, however, and collaborate with others on their events. 2012 will bring a new collaboration and new events, so stay tuned.
We are confident that when we work together in partnership with each other and Spirit, we can make a difference.
We are delighted to share it all with you! Thank you!
