Foundation

Welcome to the Bridging Heaven & Earth Foundation, Inc., a sanctuary of empowerment and growth established in 1999. With our roots in Santa Barbara, California, we began as a public access television Spiritual Talk Show, touching the lives of audiences across 150 cities in the United States. Our journey has evolved significantly since then; in 2008, we embraced the digital age by streaming our content on YouTube, where we have proudly produced over 250 insightful episodes that continue to inspire viewers around the globe. 

Following the unexpected passing of our original founder, Allan Silberhartz, in 2014, Bianca Childs stepped into a leadership role, bringing a renewed vision and passion to our mission. Alongside Ellen Watson, a dedicated Board Member and Secretary, Bianca has led transformative workshops at esteemed venues such as the Esalen Institute and in beautiful Bali, Indonesia, deepening our commitment to uplifting women, particularly those facing economic challenges.

At the heart of our foundation lies our intention to empower women through vocational and certification training programs. We believe in the life-changing potential of education and skills development, paving the way for financial independence and personal growth. Our latest initiative, EmpowerHer, is dedicated to enhancing women’s mental and physical health while creating invaluable opportunities for vocational training, ensuring that every woman can harness her power and potential.

We are thrilled to announce our vision for the EmpowerHer Facility in Santa Barbara, a vibrant hub designed to foster healing, empowerment, and personal growth. This facility will host innovative workshops and retreats tailored to the unique needs of women in our community, providing a supportive space for creative expression and leadership development. 

As we embark on this exciting journey, we invite you to join us in cultivating a nurturing environment where women can reclaim their authentic selves and thrive. Together, we can make a lasting impact, creating a brighter future for women everywhere. Thank you for being a part of our mission.
