Stephen Macchio is a speaker, researcher and educator whose presentations include an array of metaphysical topics. Most recently he has focused on disseminating information on the ‘Order of the Diamond Heart' and the teachings of the Ascended Masters.

“My intent is to make people aware of the teachings of the Ascended Masters, who were people in physical embodiment that have “Ascended” or fused with their higher Source, and dwell in the realms of Spirit-Matter. The Order of the Diamond Heart has been created for the unification of religion, and like-minded people – representing all walks of life, and culture towards a common purpose…”

Self educated on computer hardware, software and networking, Stephen worked in the corporate world for five years as a System Support Analyst at Imation Corp. in Minneapolis.

Prior to this experience, he was certified as a Montessori Teacher from the Pan American Montessori Society. Stephen owned and operated a Montessori school for 15 years. While living in Idaho he lectured at Boise State University on progressive educational topics. He also consulted with parents and trained local teachers. Stephen then moved to the Twin Cities to be the Educational Director and an instructor at the St. Croix Academy.

Stephen attended Summit University in Pasadena CA in 1979 and there learned about the common denominators among the world's religions, as taught by Elizabeth Clare Prophet. He began his lectures on metaphysical topics in New York and its surrounding areas.
