Al Marcelline - President

I know I was born, this time, to help bridge the seeming gap between Spiritual, Physical and Monetary.

I've done a magically diverse tour to arrive right here and right now, having been a successful professional stock trader, ditch digger, magazine editor, bulk-mail driver, web conceiver and more all the while being a musician. Each of these experiences help me daily to help further the vision of The Directory.

There is a reason why the Seers, Healers, Poets and Jesters were always next to the Queen and King. The Santa Barbara Wellness Directory is our pre-sponse to our collective need to re-empower an aspect that must re-assume its vital role and potential now.

I know that all is vibrational, cyclical and perfect, and I am very optimistic about what we will accomplish when we organize and synergize. Vision, Faith, Commitment and Magic have brought together this incredible Team.

Suzanne Riordan - Community

Suzanne is a healer, an author, an artist, a networker, a social reformer and an activist. She grew up in Europe, Africa and Washington D.C. and served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Morrocco in the 70's. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a BA in International Relations and from the University of California in Santa Barbara with a Master's in Education.

Suzanne helped to found the Fellowship for Intentional Communities, the Santa Barbara Homeless Coalition and the Santa Barbara Single Parent Alliance. She helped to create the Santa Barbara Wellness Directory and in the late 1990's was inspired to create Dancing From the Heart, a powerful community dance event. She helped to create Families ACT! after her son, Ian, died in 2005 at 23 years of age - a community of families advocating for a more effective and compassionate approach to healing emotional/mental imbalance and substance abuse.

Suzanne has been the fire in the belly that has kept The Directory buzzing since soon after its inception. A networker, published writer, dance instructor, massage therapist, community advocate and much more, she tirelessly turns over the rocks traditionally deemed uncomfortable and inconvenient.

Cindy Kennedy - Designer & Co-creator, Secretary

I am very proud to have helped conceptualize and develop The Santa Barbara Wellness Directory. This is a project dedicated to the healing of us all, from the successful promotion of each member's business, to the health achieved in those receiving the wellness products and services. We are changing the world!

I also own and operate Artemis Studios, a Santa Barbara-based Web and Graphic Design Company. I love design, art, communication, information, all that the web encompasses and enables. The ability to share ourselves and to create business is a powerful one and I am enjoying the experience.

I am an artist and also promote a directory of Santa Barbara artists. There is so much amazing art right here in our community, have a look! www.sbartists.com My personal art can also be seen at cynthiakennedy.com.

I hold a Bachelors Degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara and have done extensive post graduation course work in design, art and multi-media.
