Happy Heavenly Oasis is the founder and CVO (Chief Visionary Officer) of Raw Spirit Festival Inc, a 501c3 non-profit educational corporation, dedicated to spreading the bliss about living in healthy harmony.

Ms. Oasis has spent years in volunteer service with such organizations as Habitat for Humanity and Mother Theresa's, though mostly volunteering at temples, ashrams, monasteries, food banks, refugee camps, farms, orphanages and others' homes. Raw vegan health consultant at spas and insight meditation guide at temples in both the Orient and Occident, Happy has also taught intuitive wild edible plants classes called "Lets Get Wild!" in more than a dozen ecosystems around the planet.

Happy is the author of the Earth's only wild, raw vegan, international travelers' adventure poetry book, Uncivilized Ecstasies, a New Zealand best-seller, and Bliss Conscious Communication, a uniquely interactive book which heightens conversational kundalini. Ms. Oasis has been a lifelong, gentle-but-persistent, environmental, peace, and cross-cultural, social activist. Representing trees and ocean life, Happy has won several environmental cases, the most recent located beside her Arizona home when Happy called in and joined forces with the Army Corps of Engineers to stop developers from illegally building condominiums on a lake which the developers destroyed. Upon Happy's counsel, the Army Corps oversaw the developers replanting of hundreds of trees. Furthermore, with Happy's prompting, the developer donated the unusually scenic land to be a permanent park now managed by the City of Prescott. Happy is an inspirational orator at symposiums, festivals, temples, retreats, churches, tv shows, radio shows, environmentally-educative cruise ships, colleges, universities and schools around the world. Though busy speaking most weekends, these days Happy loves to offer others the Raw Spirit Festival stage in enthusiastic support of the many astute speakers, authors, chefs and entertainers who encourage us to achieve astounding heights of health to benefit both humanity and the Earth.

Founder of the erstwhile Inspiring Times events paper, Happy's articles, stories, poetry and philosophy have featured in numerous books, magazines and newspapers. Marci Shimoff, star of "The Secret" movie, considers Happy Oasis to be "one of America's 100 happiest people". So, the uplifting story of Happy's name is featured as the final story in Marci Shimoff's 2008 book Be Happy For No Reason, an Amazon and New York Times Best Seller.
