Stellar Bookings manages all aspects of the engagement process—from beginning discussions to completion of the event. No detail is too large or small to handle, no producer is undeserving of our full attention and care. We walk hand in hand through the entire experience, and provide the full complement of services for both speaker and sponsor for a fulfilling and inspiring experience.
Rita Curtis - Director
Rita Curtis has over 15 years experience in booking authors, working most closely with Neale Donald Walsch since his first Conversations with God
book was published in 1995. During that time Rita served as the
Executive Director of both the Conversations with God Foundation and
Humanity’s Team, worldwide outreach nonprofit organizations, to direct
staff, produce marketing materials and educational programs, and manage
fundraising. She has been
the executive producer of many large-scale events for author speakers,
including Empowerment 2000 in Santa Monica, California, and The
Gathering in Portland, Oregon, both events attracting over 1000 people
for a full weekend.
Her previous incarnation was as one of the first professional services
marketing directors in Portland, Oregon. Working as a legal assistant
for fourteen years in a law firm specializing in bankruptcy and
creditors’ rights, Rita was promoted in 1988 to the position of the
firm’s first Marketing Director, one of only four marketing
professionals of law firms in the entire city. She left that job in
1991, and went to work for a securities company to develop their
investor relations department, syndicating tax credit investments and
managing marketing and public affairs.
A dark night of the soul brought Rita to the Conversations with God
books. Through her work with Neale, she developed many friendships and
professional contacts with writers and producers all over the world.
Realizing that there were many opportunities to be extended to other
authors whose work she believed should be facilitated and sourced, Rita
decided to start her own speaker placement business in 1997. Early
clients include Thom Hartmann (of Air America Radio fame); Doreen
Virtue (The Lightworkers Way); Nick Bunick (The Messengers); and Paul
Ferrini (Love Without Conditions).
Stellar Bookings is the culmination of a life-long yearning to be a
creative and decisive force in sharing the message of a loving God with
the world. Through the work of the many authors and speakers with whom
Rita has established relationships, she has been able to be a part of
the movement for a new spirituality to emerge upon the planet,
assisting spiritual messengers in surmounting the challenges inherent
in sharing their particular message with the world.
Rita divides her time between Portland and Bend, Oregon, and lives with
her husband, Brent Curtis. She is the mother of two grown daughters and
a son in graduate school, the grandmother of five, and enjoys reading,
writing, cooking, decorating, and golfing.
Brandon Klayman - Business Development Director
At an early age, he "knew" that he would become an entrepreneur.
Brandon's spiritual awakening began 14 years ago, it was the beginning
of the realization that "We Are All One" - and now, his foundational
belief is Oneness.
Within the past 3 years, Brandon has become a professional consultant,
educator & speaker on the theme of Conscious Commerce. He launched
his new career at Holistic World in 2004, and also presented at the
Spirituality in Healthcare Network.
His passion for oneness led him to an organization called Humanity's
Team, where he quickly became the Canadian Country Coordinator and
built the organization from the grassroots level. This movement was
created by Neale Donald Walsch, best selling author of the
Conversations with God Trilogy.
Brandon is highly inspirational and insightful, his ideal world is a
place where we are living an experience of oneness - where we become
the example of equality, and equality of opportunity. Balance within
ourselves, each other, and nature.
