Metaphysics is beyond physics, referring to any phenomena associated with the non-physical realm, including the quantum forces of sub atomic physics and the supernatural.
"The more you know, the more there is to know!"
In this interactive forum, participants gain an ever-broadening understanding of being human while navigating the complexities of the greater reality. In contrast to a typical discussion forum, participants are encouraged to explore ideas from a metaphysical perspective, where no idea is too far-out!
Utilizing intellect and intuition, participants explore: What is our purpose for existence? Where did we come from? How do our souls come into being? What is the triune nature of mind?

70% Water 18% Carbon, 5% Nitrogen, 2% Calcium
1 Giant Leap is a collaborative DVD project for the 21st century, which fuses music, words, sounds, rhythms and images from over 25 locations in 20 countries around the globe to celebrate diversity of musicians, story-tellers, authors, filmmakers, artists, entrepreneurs, artists, and thinkers from many different cultures. 1 Giant Leap is a title, a philosophy, a leap of faith that sprung from the minds of visionary UK musicians/visual artists Jamie Catto (Faithless) and Duncan Bridgeman.
It is the embodiment of the unity in human diversity and a cross-cultural exploration of universal truth that is a global journey unto itself. 1 Giant Leap features: Kurt Vonnegut, Dennis Hopper, Ram Dass, Tom Robbins, Anita Roddick, Brian Eno, Michael Stipe (REM), Robbie Williams, Neneh Cherry, Speech (Arrested Development), Stewart Copeland, Baaba Maal, and many more.
Reviews:
"Dazzling." -The Times
"Jubilant, unique, ambitious, epic, dramatic, life-affirming and positively absorbing, a musical and visual feast." -DVD Monthly
"1 Giant Leap represents a genuinely ground-breaking audio-visual project of global dimensions." -The Daily Telegraph
"whoever thought of putting Asha Bhosle and Michael Stipe together ought to be given the keys to heaven right now." -Essential World release. Mojo
"Gather round the modern world's campfire; the movie screen, television set, or laptop DVD player, and let this film's message wash over you in these troubled times. For "1 Giant Leap" is nothing short of an electronic drum circle, drawing the citizens of Earth together for a planet-wide cautionary pep talk. Mesmerizing and utterly profound, yet wonderfully accessible, 1 Giant Leap reminds us all of what we're capable of achieving." * * * * Filmtreat.com
"An amaZing film by two genius film-makers..." -Bono
Note: Intended for participants 18-32 years-old only.

Jordan Pease
After a career in music and theater production in the San Francisco Bay Area, Jordan earned an AS degree in electronic communications in 1995 and went on to study sociology and cultural communications at Sonoma State University in Cotati, California and later at Southern Oregon University in Ashland.
Jordan became fascinated with metaphysics and the paranormal in 1989 after accounts of a roommate's unbelievable UFO experiences re-kindled his curiosity about 'fringe' subjects. Jordan's interest quickly snowballed into an enormous hunger for more and more information which eventually led to the founding of Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library & Events Center in Ashland, Oregon in the Fall of 2001.
In addition to his work as RVML's director, Jordan continues to do A/V production work for large conferences around the country and is currently raising chickens and sheep in his back yard.
