In Memory of Steve Silberman

My 💜💔💜 for Steve Silberman goes back to The Well + Y2K! I know he's quoted as having no belief in afterlife but the afterlife and •proof of it• provides us all a great comfort in these difficult times! As a shaman that worked with Bob & Jerry's astral-spirit for many years, I •know• what Steve didn't yet ~ that the afterlife, ghosts, whatever you call it yourself • it's all real! I helped Bob connect with Astral Jerry at shows and at home in Marin for years. The Grateful Dead family, all the deadheads • we’re a community drenched in the tradition of channeling the spirits of our loved ones, and entraining with them (and even the divine) on tour and in our own home lives! Don't believe? Here are some resources! My friend (and shh new boyfriend) paranormal evidence / investigations expert Steve Gonsalves has a book out with his stories and has a long running evidence-collecting show called Ghost Hunters that uses new, validated tech to collect scientific proof! Give Stephen's show a chance, it is a clear enough research-like production that you won't be overloaded with the theatrics of other shows. So you can experience •the proof• of the afterlife that our deadhead culture is so deeply rooted in!  Gonsalves is a psychic himself, but his show Ghost Hunters only presents the data that the electronics can pick up. 🕉️ Still unsure, but really want to believe? Psychologist Charles Tart has a book, The End of Materialism: How Evidence of the Paranormal Is Bringing Science and Spirit Together. It's the best of all the research from the top universities! It’s a primer on Psi and a great title to keep on your bookshelf! It’s been out a handful of years now, meaning… science has validated the paranormal but the evidence hasn’t gotten all the way out there yet. Also, don’t forget about Bobby’s sister Wendy’s book about her own experiences channeling Garcia’s spirit; it’s well-written and credible, too! 

💔🕊️✨ As we mourn Steve Silberman, it’s important to remember his being has just newly transitioned into his Astral-only form and he could use a heavy outpouring of love to that part of him now, to ease his journey into the afterlife! 

NFA! 

Love, Sandra

Days Between 2024

I’m crawling out of the woodwork this year after a long time not really talking about Jerry stuff, and the joy you can find on tour with him as he is ever present to you there! Since I parted ways with Weir, I don’t do it as much publicly but I’m in touch with Jerry - he’s happy, enjoys his special time of year, and loves you all still as much as ever! Let’s enjoy the spirit world like we all do so well, as we are forever together until the end of all things!

The Astral Apache instigated an interesting meeting of two different tribes of spirit workers, so to speak! Apache (ever rascal 🐸) wanted to see Steve Gonsalves from Ghost Hunters at a book signing recently. Now we all watch the astral-evidence collecting shows but who knew really what was up? Apache wanted more dirt lol. So Apache & I went, entrained as we do. Apache wanted to find out if Steve could channel, himself; and more specifically his goal was to see if Steve could channel a •feline• spirit! People who’ve seen Steve’s show know he’s the guy who rips your evidence apart and only accepts what is truly irrefutable lol. I was so delighted by their exchange! Apache’s a young dude, a kid in the way he speaks, and he was welcomed with open arms into a great conversation by Steve who was rather entertained by the notion that a spirit came to his book reading at the Barnes & Noble in Eastview Mall with his Telepathic Animal Communicator mother lol. Apparently no other astrals come to his book signings 🤷🏻‍♀️ (or if they do they don’t speak up lol).

So since then, my new friend Steve Gonsalves & I have exchanged war stories lol and have found that our approaches mesh even though Steve’s from another side of spirit world research that is of a very different orientation than what I’m used to. I used in-university style research to do all my training. I pick my teachers from school. Have you watched the ghost hunting style shows on tv yet? I want you to - to help you open your mind to the very real aspect of communicating with Garcia and our other long lost family (they’re not gone at all!) My team reviewed the big ghost hunting shows a few years ago so I could see what those folks were up to; I was blown away with the advances in data collection, and some of it is groundbreaking technology designed specifically for connecting with the spirit world. It’s not fake, it scientifically valid and I know some of the shows get a little theatrical but the science is solid! I think watching them will break the grip that doubt might have on you, which may limit your ability to be open to receiving communications from your own loved ones, including our own Jerry! Maybe you just sense his presence. Don’t forget: the spirits can hear you even if you’re not yet open to them enough to hear them!

Speaking of Apache & Steve’s now infamous lol first communication at the bookstore… my mentor Penelope Smith is back at teaching - right now - she’s come out of retirement to reinvigorate the field of study that she pioneered: Telepathic Animal Communication. Do you think telepathy is nonsense? Do yourself a huge big favor and check out the book “The End of Materialism: How Evidence of the Paranormal Is Bringing Science and Spirit Together” by Charles Tart. In it, altered states of consciousness researcher and “transpersonal psychologist Charles Tart presents over fifty years of scientific research conducted at the nation's leading universities that proves humans do have natural spiritual impulses and abilities.” With that in mind, you could consider taking a course with Penelope Smith (or other trainee teachers) in Non-Human Animal Communication! 💁🏻‍♀️ And to bring it all back to Garcia, let’s not forget that we are the band beyond description for a reason… we all enter [bluntly speaking] into a non-local thought based, entrained, group mind experience at shows. With empathic bonds that bridge the division and separation that can overwhelm one during regular ordinary everyday routines. The Charles Tart “End of Materialism” primer discusses not only telepathy, but also clairvoyance, precognition, psychokinesis, and distance healing; and is a great foundation of knowledge to bring with you to shows! 

My compass always points to terrapin 😊

Love, Sandy

Fatal Identification of My 1988 Au Masque Look

I’m dying over here - we watched Fatal Attraction and the 1988 teased up perm that I had freshman year at UofR was everywhere! Then I noticed both female leads wore the exact shiny gold/shiny & light pink/shiny lipstick that I still wear everyday now (that I’ve been known to say “I’ve never seen anybody else at all wear this shade I like”) apparently, it’s from 1987! 

Then I remembered my H’ween costume from 1988. I was the ghost of a murder victim. And today I realized that I looked almost just like the Fatal one herself! LOL Oh 1988 lol you crack me up!

Want to see the complete picture from that Halloween it’s at http://theg6group.com/masque.html

Christmas Giving Tree

Here's a great Enrichment idea for zoos and sanctuaries, and other places with captive animals!

A "giving tree" where patrons can choose a gift to give to an animal of their choice! At the Milwaukee Zoo, visitors can buy the item and bring it in, or donate the money and let the staff do the shopping.

Visitors can select an ornament from the tree, which features an animal enrichment request from the zookeepers such as a food treat, toy, gift card or monetary donation.  The enrichment is used throughout the year to enhance all aspects of the animal’s welfare by addressing the behavioral, environmental, physical, psychological and social needs of the species."

Enrichment changes the entire lives of these animals. I was part of very early enrichment research at the San Francisco Zoo, and a sad, depressed, anxiety ridden black leopard named Sabrina went from not-okay to flourishing! by the introduction of a hunting game device which mimicked bird noises and passed out treats of chicken if she hunted it through every zone the noise went in. She calmed down, got happy, and felt like a leopard again. But not completely - until they also gave her trees, climbing branches, and hiding spots! All enrichment! She actually smiled!!

Great apes (with hands like ours) are using iPads - NOT KIDDING! It's incredible. We owe it to the animals to let them learn, play, develop, and keep healthy!

Check out the article, and great job Milwaukee Zoo Enrichment team!!!

Zoo's "Giving Tree" allows visitors to enhance animals' welfare

Halloween Costumes for Pets

Cats, dogs, small pets like ferrets and hamsters... they all love dressing up for Halloween. Or they can, that is, if you treat them like they need to learn what it's all about; much like you start with your human kids when they are mere babies. You know those first few years, they fuss and try to pull off their Winnie the Pooh hoodie costume, lol. But within a few years, they know that costumes are for fun, and that... treats come after they put it on! Don't forget the fun and the treats. Please don't do it just for you. If they are afraid and squirm, giggle and have fun with them, but never at their expense! We started out about 2009 with some of the very first pet costumes that were in the stores - Target had little pumpkin hats, and funny chicken hats for our cats. The first year it was wildly funny, they were like WTF is this! Lol. Show them what they look like in the mirror (they can see themselves). It's funny, and kiss and hug them. And don't make them keep it on for too long, ok? Each year after that, it has become more and more elaborate - just like with the human kids in costumes out there. After they got used to the costume part (with a fun toy and a food treat following it), we added in "going trick or treating!" Best for pets is to do this strictly indoors only (because it gets too hectic out in the neighborhoods on Halloween!). We used other rooms in the house as the rooms they can go to, help them get there (carry cats and smaller pets, too). Knock on the door for them. Holler 'trick or treat' to whatever friend or family member you have over to be the person who answers the door for them. After the regular oohs and ahhs at how cute your pet family member look in their costumes, give them a safe treat baggie. Some snacks or some toys, or a nice new blanket. Each year it will become more normal to the pets (easier for them) and they'll be able to wear more complex costumes. Find pet costumes at PetSmart, Petco, Target, Walmart, Kmart, Michaels, Party City, and more! PS. Please use common sense with their costumes. Nothing covering their nose and mouth so they can breath! Nothing with big strings that could wrap around their necks, or beads and stuff that could choke them. Not all of the pet costumes are made with safety in mind.


Here is a gallery of our pet family's Halloween fun over the years:

Family Pet Fashion Show's Halloween Costumes for Your Pets

Here are a few to get you started :) But there are many more pics, tips, and ideas over at our Pet Fashion Show page, so please do stop by and check it out. Happy Haunting! Have a Bootiful Halloween this year! xoxo! Love from the Stahlmans!

Disney Frozen's Elsa for cats and dogs from PetSmart Halloween 2015

Marvel's Captain America for cats and dogs from PetSmarts Halloween 2015

Hand-make your small pets' costumes with safety in mind. Use velcro for break-away loops. This one is Harley the Kid's Thor Costume from 2012. Part of the Heroes by H line of designs from our own family band, called The G6 Group

Velco neckties from Petco and PetSmart make a safe, and easy style costume that many pets can wear, since they are already used to having collars around their necks!

Reggie Max and our very first Halloween Pumpkin. From the early years of pet costumes! This one was from Target's pet department. Make sure to check pet sections at the big chain stores, and also check in their regular costumes section. (They put pet costumes in both areas nowadays)

Our own cheerleader! It's Brianna Marie from Halloween 2014. Talk about holiday "spirit" lol. Isn't she something! This was from Target. Costumes with tank-sleeves like this are often easier. (The way cats and dogs sit often pull their arms in from longer sleeves, try tanks instead if you have the sleeves problem :)

Our Apache does the best animal impressions! Here's his 2013 Frog. It was TopPaw from PetSmart that year! This year he's going to be a skunk, that little stinker lol.

Mommy's choice of pics is our Harley the Kid as Captain America in 2013! Another of our Heroes by H costumes! Avengers Assembled!

It's Pepper Potts from Iron Man 3, wearing one of the Iron Man suits! Bri found this Iron Man suit at PetSmart and made the most perfect Pepper Potts. Cosplay or Halloween, costumes make great family fun.

Take care, xoxo!
