Steve Bhaerman is an internationally known author, humorist, and workshop leader. For the past 25 years, he has written and performed as Swami Beyondananda, the "Cosmic Comic." Swami's comedy has been called "irreverently uplifting" and has been described both as "comedy disguised as wisdom" and "wisdom disguised as comedy."  Author Marianne Williamson has called him “The Mark Twain of our times.”

In his "past life" (before Swami), Steve started an alternative high school in Washington, D.C., taught history to autoworkers at Wayne State University, and co-founded Pathways Magazine in Ann Arbor, Michigan, one of the first publications bringing together holistic health, personal growth, spirituality, and politics.

His latest book, written with cellular biologist Bruce H. Lipton, PhD is Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and a Way to Get There From Here (Hay House, 2009). Steve is active in trans partisan politics and the practical application of Spontaneous Evolution. He can be found online at www.wakeuplaughing.com

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: Spontaneous Evolution: A Universal Love Story

At a time when our world faces multiple crises, here is some good news: We are on the threshold of evolving into a new super-organism called Humanity. Author, humorist and practical philosopher Steve Bhaerman offers an inspiring presentation based on the book both Thom Hartmann and Deepak Chopra have called "world-changing": Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and a Way to Get There From Here, co-authored with noted cellular biologist Bruce Lipton. Combining Bruce's work as a biological scientist, and Steve's background as a political scientist, the book offers an exciting and inspiring view of life on earth as a “universal love story.” You’ll learn how and why love heals, and how to use it as a transformational tool as you participate in the greatest adventure in human history -- conscious evolution!

Steve Bhaerman will also be doing a WORKSHOP: : The Alchemy of Humor
