Stuart Wilson is a writer on new perspectives and the author of the best-selling name dictionary Simply the Best Baby Name Book. His perceptions of the new consciousness have been developed through 30 years of working with groups committed to personal growth. For nine years, Stuart co-focalized (with Joanna Prentis) the Starlight Centre in the West of England, a centre dedicated to healing and the transformation of consciousness.
He writes about this period:
It was inspiring and fascinating but also exhausting! A stream of visitors came in to the Centre, mainly from the United States and Australia, but some also from Europe. We had an amazing and mind-bending time sitting at the feet of internationally respected spiritual teachers and workshop leaders.
Part of the work of the Centre was research into past lives, and this led to his collaboration with Joanna to write The Essenes, Children of the Light (published by Ozark Mountain Publishing in 2005.) Based on the past life regression of 7 subjects, this book reveals Essene links with the Druids, the existence of a secret Core Group around Jesus, and contacts with the Order of Melchizedek.

Joanna Prentis: I was born in Bangalore in southern India. When I was nearly three, my family returned to Scotland where I spent my childhood and teenage years. After leaving school, I traveled extensively, married and lived in Hong Kong for two years and then ten years in the bush in Western Australia, where my three daughters were born. It was there that my interest began in alternative medicine and education, organic farming, metaphysics and meditation. With a local nurse, we ran a Homeopathic and Radionic practice.
I returned to the UK in 1979 and later trained as a Montessori teacher, educating my two youngest daughters, Katinka and Larissa, at home for a few years. I now have three beautiful grandchildren.
I did several healing courses and have a foundation diploma in Humanistic Psychology. I also trained with Ursula Markham and have a diploma in Hypnotherapy and Past Life Therapy.
With my eldest daughter Tatanya, I set up the Starlight Centre in 1988, a centre for healing and the expansion of consciousness. Over the years, Tatanya has introduced us to many innovative techniques and interesting people.
In 1999, we closed the Centre to focus on producing our books. I continue with my Past Life work, and readers now connect with us from all over the world.
