EXECUTIVE BIO
Mr. Nelson P. Oliver, CPA, aka. "nphoenix" is the
a visionary financial adviser and “Conscious capitalist” who believes in a sustainable system of transactional exchange whose foundational experience is that the universe operates as One, following a Law of Attraction.
Having studied at American universities in Georgia and Virginia, and at the University of Oxford in England, Mr. Oliver began a career as an enterprise risk management consultant for Deloitte in New York City. Within two years Mr. Oliver was licensed by the State of New York as a Certified Public Accountant, and had coordinated strategic advisory projects for multinational financial entities, including: The Blackstone Group, Morgan Stanley, American Express, Barclays, and the Trustee of the Lehman Brothers Estate. After years of school and thousands of hours of disciplined effort to prepare for a “real world” that was ever referenced but never properly addressed, Mr. Oliver then found himself further away from the true Essence of his Being than ever.
To maintain sanity under leagues of work-stress for travel, billable service hour and digital computer presence expectations, Mr. Oliver began to medicate heavily with coffee, alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, succulent foods, and an extravagant lifestyle. This behavior pattern after two years had lead to a laudable expression to be proud of from all external societal perspectives, but fueled a spiritual vacuum that threatened impending demise with each moment spent in separation from the true Essence of his vibrant Self. As the years unfolded and the path of school lead to university lead to a career and professional life in NYC, Mr. Oliver found himself more confused and desperate to see the Reality in the situations and environments he was experiencing, and was frequently left with the burning question: is this really what life is meant to be?!
To resuscitate the Spirit Mr. Oliver was called to investigate the original threads of human consciousness from the Source, and began Self-educating on the science of yoga and deeply exploring meditation techniques that have been known for thousands of years. From the knowledge seen in the pure stillness of omnipresent Consciousness, Mr. Oliver emerged more confident to release perceived limitations and was called to leave behind the opportunity-blessing of Deloitte and a NYC existence to learn coherence in a more transitory and experimental journey to serve humans in need. Doubling efforts and executing a broad shift life focus, Mr. Oliver resigned his position as a senior consultant after three years with Deloitte, and within a week was present at a ten day Vipassanna silent meditation retreat to initiate and immerse himself in complete dedication to a wholesome life and effective spiritual practice.
Mr. Oliver has spent the intervening years to the present traveling the United States on a mission to learn how to serve and communicate with fellow brothers and sisters in need of a Conscious education on financial and living techniques to facilitate knowledge of the natural processes of the vibrant world in which we live and breathe.

SPIRITUAL QUALIFICATIONS
Yoga can be simply translated as the cessation of thought.
Where no thoughts exist, no certification can be relevant.
There is no governing body of "yoga certifications"
because that Higher Authority is Everything and Nothing.
Yogis know this, yet still become certified to provide
confidence to participants in the instructor's base knowledge.
Certifications are useful in this manner,
and to gauge commitment level of the instructor,
but not reliable indicators of intentional quality.
Mere existence is qualification enough for the spiritual
nature of being.
Life is a university of knowledge.
