Every movement has its visionary leaders. United World Healing was founded by people who care deeply about changing the world to be a more compassionate, balanced and conscious place—a planet of peace, prosperity and civility. The organization’s board is filled with top business executives and entertainment industry leaders who share that vision, as well. They are working tirelessly to bring people together in vision and action that manifests transformation.
Here are the United World Healing’s key figures who will be guiding the Vision-Ins around the globe.
The Visionaries:
Global Transformation Visionary—Jackie Lapin
You could call her “Earth’s Cheerleader.” Jackie Lapin is a writer, speaker and visionary who is educating and uniting the planet’s people to manifest a better, healthier more peaceful and joyful world. She is revealing to humanity its ultimate power for global transformation and leading the call for synchronizing a vision for a new and better reality…just as a football cheerleader unites the stadium in a cheer for victory. In this case, the victory is our very own survival and happiness. She is motivating, urging, rousing and inspiring a unified call to action!
To accomplish this incredible mission, Lapin has founded United World Healing to unite millions around the world in daily acts of Conscious Creation, to impact the future of the planet.
Jackie Lapin’s pioneering vision has always been the hallmark of her highly successful ventures. She began her professional career as one of the nation’s first women sportswriters at a time when there were just a handful of women in sports professions at all, working for such entities as the Washington Post, Detroit Free Press and Associated Press. Jackie segued to the media relations field and within two years had launched what would become the nation’s foremost sports/entertainment/special events PR firm with offices on both coasts. Soon, one of her hobbies--collecting beautiful mineral spheres (polished round rocks)--led to the creation of Sphere’s To You, the first and preeminent company worldwide specializing in the sales of these remarkable specimens from the Earth. Today, she is noted as a leading media relations expert, nationally recognized for assisting companies with generating the publicity that has ensured their success. Most recently, she was instrumental in launching the worldwide poker phenomenon, demonstrating the power of vision coupled with action.
Over the past two years, Jackie has immersed herself in the literature and culture of the energetic/spiritual/self-help world, recognizing the power of “intent” to do more than transform individuals. Her mission is to act as a tuning fork, bringing forth and coalescing the vision and energy of millions to transform the entire world. She sees herself as the bridge between the “secular” world, where she has practiced her profession for more than 30 years, and the “spiritual” world, which recognizes the power of conscious thought as the vehicle for transformation.

Yoga Imagery Visionary—Ellin Todd

Her asana classes are imbued with intention and embellished with sound, imagery, and aromatherapy integrated with physical movement. She leads groups designed to draw out the good in all people and things.
In her yoga sessions people of diverse levels of ability and experience are honored for their unique differences, limitations, and talents.
