This time, instead of wishing him happy birthday, we want to give him something that reflects his legacy in your life. Please DON’T write the piece directly to Donny and Jackie.
We’d love for you to be part of it. Write an article about your life for a broad audience of seekers — something intimate, meaningful, personal or professional, or simply something you are living and experiencing in any area of your life, within your family or friendships, in your community, in sports, finance, politics, or wherever you continue to experience their influence most profoundly. Directly or indirectly, weave in how Donny & Jackie’s influence has touched your journey and continues to live on through your life.
The idea is to give him the first copy for his birthday and then make the magazine available for you and other Seekers to purchase, share with your family, friends, and clients, and even keep a few copies in your workspace.
Everything we raise beyond the production costs will be donated to the EpiEnergetics Foundation, allowing this celebration of Donny & Jackie’s legacy to create an impact beyond the magazine itself. Please keep this purpose in mind when writing your story! It’s a fairly complex project, so we’ll probably need your help with proofreading and some other aspects as well. We need to collect all the articles and photos in time to create the magazine for his birthday.
So, write an article, and choose a few great photos! We don’t want Donny’s photo on every page, although he’d probably be absolutely delighted to star in this magazine, the readers might appreciate a little more variety! Send everything my way together in one email. Please share your article as a Google Doc, PDF, or Word document, and send your photos in high resolution JPEG format.
Please keep in mind that not every photo may make it to the magazine. It depends on so many synchronistic factors. Before the magazine goes to print, you will receive a copy of your contribution to review and approve it as it will appear in the magazine.
The flexible nature of a magazine means that some snippets can be as short as 70 words, so feel free to write something that brief. (Please, NO happy birthday messages!) Not in the magazine!
If you write a full article, please keep it to 400 words or fewer!
Email everything to: bri.celebration@gmail.com
Together, we’ll create something intimate, personal, and unforgettable, a collection of articles celebrating the difference they have made through the way seekers live, grow, and experience life, while reaching and inspiring as many seekers as possible.
Recap: What We Need From You
You can send us both an article and photos, or you can send only an article or only photos. Please make sure to read the guidelines carefully!
Final submission date: October 31. 2026
I’m sharing an example that might be useful. It might be my contribution. I wrote it from my point of view, with the focus on sharing something that other seekers can possibly relate to, while naturally weaving Donny and Jackie into the story of my life.
It’s 400 words, which is the maximum. Please keep it to 400 words or fewer words!
Throughout my life, I’ve had experiences that never seemed to fit into what we call “normal.” I remember once sitting with a schoolbook, trying to understand what I was supposed to learn. None of it made sense. Frustrated, I threw the book aside and walked away. Two days later, I knew it. I hadn’t opened the book again. Nobody had explained it to me. Yet when I took the test, I knew the answers. I had this unmistakable experience: I know that I know. And I got the best result. Experiences like this happened again and again throughout my life. I never saw a light. I never heard a voice claiming to be God or a spirit. What I experienced was far more subtle, and, in many ways, far more fascinating. There were tangible results, I could see, and verify, even when I couldn’t explain them on a purely physical level. I began to notice these moments with a sense of wonder. It was like a non-auditory whisper—a knowing, a subtle pull toward something I couldn’t yet understand. For years, these experiences seemed disconnected. Then, through a series of mysteriously synchronized events, I was drawn to Donny Epstein’s Orbits. Suddenly, threads that had been scattered across my life began to connect.
Experiences I had carried as isolated mysteries started to reveal a connection. What had once seemed impossible or simply inexplicable, began to make sense through a different lens: energy, information, the relationship between the observer and the observed, focused attention, and the possibility that an observer can draw energy from different sources before an observation takes place, influencing the experience that ultimately unfolds. The mystery captivated me. What had once been a collection of extraordinary, disconnected experiences became something I wanted to explore consciously, and, ultimately, to understand whether these principles could be experienced, practiced, and applied in ways that could genuinely help others. I began learning from Donny and his wife, Jackie, and working directly with these ideas, exploring what becomes possible when we stop taking our perception of reality for granted and become more conscious of the natural forces, information, attention, and energy participating in every experience. And somewhere along that journey, the question changed. It was no longer simply: ”How is this possible?” It became: “What becomes possible when we begin to participate in reality differently?” That’s the exploration that led me to my devoted profession.
Feel free to revisit the videos from previous years, they were such a joy! Each one was a brilliant collective creation, brought to life through the energy, creativity, and participation of so many beautiful Souls from our community.
