Judith Jubb: Clairvoyance and Telepathic Connection With UFO's
Telepathic Contact with Off Worlders
Traveler and guide through multiple dimensions and universes, Judith Jubb is a clairvoyant since birth, Spiritual Healer and teacher. We are exploring the vastness of space with phenomenal equipment like the Hubble and James Webb Deep Space Telescope. Expansion into the metaphysical dimensions is transpiring simultaneously through quantum realities.
These universes are interwoven in creation. From Judith's files, she will share conversations with people who have experienced some form of contact with Off World intelligence. Some have had sightings of UFOs, UAPs or abductions or animal 'mutilations'. Many people have received messages directly through telepathic transmissions during dreams or waking altered states of consciousness. Clarity of receptivity depends on both the quality of the telepathic transmitter and the translation capacity of the intuitive receiver.
Fulfillment of one's planetary career can be enhanced through practice. The presentation has a visual program which includes a meditation journey through galaxies and nebulae accompanied by the music of William Wilde Zeitler.

Freddy Silva: Lost Lands and Ancient Architects
Indigenous accounts describe living alongside a more advanced group of people 12,000 years ago. Described as ‘human-like but not quite human', these master navigators and astronomers harnessed the laws of nature, built megalithic monuments, and raised a comparatively high culture. But who were these gods? And have we been so obsessed with Atlantis that we missed other locations where they lived? Bestselling author Freddy Silva shares evidence of places such as the Birthplace of the Gods, the missing land of the Anu-naki, and gods such as the Shining Ones, Followers of Horus.

Rachel Budde: Botanical Allies for Liminal Exploration
The liminal is the threshold, the space between states, realms, and identities. It is a potent and generative place where the personal and collective unconscious meet. We enter liminal realms in dreams, through art-making, in expanded states of awareness, and during times of profound (and often difficult) transformation. Across many traditions, plants have served as allies in these in-between spaces, guiding, guarding, soothing, illuminating and, most importantly, helping us integrate what we learn.
In this workshop with clinical herbalist Rachel Budde, we’ll explore both the phytochemical and energetic properties of botanicals that support and deepen our experiences in the liminal, from where our creative potential originates.

Catherine Ulissey: The Mysteries of the Sphinx: A Children's Workshop
Drawing inspiration from her husband’s (geologist Dr. Robert Schoch) research, and using illustrations from their newly published children’s book, “Adriana and the Ancient Mysteries: The Great Sphinx”, Catherine (“Katie”) Ulissey will present the many mysteries that surround and embody the Great Sphinx of Egypt, particularly those not discussed or even introduced to youngsters today. In an engaging “question-and-answer” type setting, the topics presented will include monumental architecture, equinoctial alignment (and just what an equinox is!), wind- versus water-weathering of rock, Plato’s Atlantis, Edgar Cayce’s predictions, and more. By questioning the standard story for the construction of the Sphinx, and examining the latest data discovered, a better understanding of the monument and humankind’s history may be gleaned.
1:30-3 p.m. - Mt. Blanca Tent
Dr. Robert Schoch: The Great Sphinx and the Leagacy of Zep Tepi
The Ancient Dynastic Egyptians of 4,000 to 5,000 years ago held sacred the concept of Zep Tepi – the “first time”, the time of creation, the beginning of civilization, a golden age when the “gods” lived among humans. Around the world similar traditions are found. Interpreting the ancient legends, this early golden age dates to a remote period which, in modern terms, would be before the end of the last ice age (that is, approximately 12,000 years ago). Academic scholars have typically dismissed such traditions as mere myths with no factual basis. However, my work on re-dating the origins of the Great Sphinx in Egypt, placing it in a pre-Sahara climatic period at the end of the last ice age based on the rain weathering and erosion seen on its body (the head of the Sphinx was re-carved in dynastic times) and subsurface seismic studies, supports the ancient Egyptian belief in Zep Tepi.

9-10 a.m. - Mt. Blanca Tent
Dr. Simeon Hein: Ball Lightning
Ball lightning is a mysterious yet not uncommon phenomenon that often appears as a free-floating fireball of various colors, which is highly energetic yet has a low temperature. It may be the basis of geological activity, volcanoes, and alchemical transmutation at the microscopic level. US Air Force studies show that although it usually occurs near thunderstorms, it can also appear unexpectedly. Research on ball lightning also indicates that it can be potentially dangerous and even fatal to come into contact with. In this talk, we'll examine the electromagnetic basis for ball lightning, orbs, and other Mobile Luminous Objects (MLOs), such as earthlights observed in locations like Marfa, Texas, the Marley Ranch, Skinwalker Ranch, and Hessdalen, Norway. We'll examine Soviet-era research into so-called "electromagnetic phantoms", fractal wheel-like objects, and also the work of David Fryberger on alternative configurations of Maxwell's electromagnetic laws. We'll also examine the work of Takaaki Matsumoto, who believed that micro-ball lightning was responsible for cold fusion and Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR), and capable of producing miniature black holes and dark matter. A review of the literature on ball lightning and related subjects reveals that it is a classified subject kept secret within various black budget programs.

Freddy Silva: TRANSFORMERS: The Sacred Science of Ancient Temples
Ancient architects created thousands of sacred places as a means to experience subtle energy, to heal, or to reach higher states of consciousness. But how exactly does the process work? How do temples and other places of power attract and store energy? And how do they influence the human body? In this presentation we shall explore unique hotspots around the world and examine how our predecessors sensed earth energy, the ways in which modern technology detects it, and how the power of sacred space alters our sense of perception to allow a direct connection with the subtle universe.

Catherine Ulissey: The Mysterious Site of Göbekli Tepe: A Children's Workshop
Teachers and history books tell us that our civilization began around 3500 BCE in the areas of Egypt and Mesopotamia. As indications of “civilization” they point to megalithic architecture, writing (or notation / hieroglyphics) of some kind, and urban settlements – cities! Archaeologists upturned the applecart regarding this nice, neat scenario not long ago when they uncovered an enormous megalithic complex in southeastern Türkiye. The site is called Göbekli Tepe and it is rewriting the history books. It was intentionally buried (not abandoned and left to the winds and sands of time) at the end of Earth’s last ice age, circa 9700 BCE. That is 6,000 years before civilization is supposed to have arisen. “Göbekli Tepe, 12,000 Years Old” is the second book in Catherine Ulissey’s “Adriana and the Ancient Mysteries” children’s series (the book is written and is in the process of being illustrated). Using rough sketches from the book where appropriate, and photographs from the actual site to support a lively discussion, Katie will present in this children's workshop the beautiful and mysterious archaeological site of Göbekli Tepe (stone beasts and all!).
1:30-3 p.m. - Mt. Blanca Tent
Dr. Robert Schoch: Göbekli Tepe, the Sun, and the End of the Last Ice Age
The sophisticated megalithic complex of Göbekli Tepe in Türkiye supports the reality of the existence of true civilization at the end of the last ice age, approximately 12,000 years ago. This early cycle of civilization was dealt a mighty setback with the world-wide catastrophe that brought the last ice age to a close. Based on geological, climatic, isotopic, astrophysical, and other data, the ice age came to an end circa 9700 BCE due to an immense solar outburst from our unstable Sun (an outburst that may be characterized as a “micronova”). A Solar-Induced Dark Age (SIDA) lasting some six millennia followed and civilization only reemerged circa 4000 BCE to 3000 BCE in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and elsewhere.

Melissa DeRenzo: Sound Healing
It can be said that illness is the manifestation of dis-harmony within the body- an imbalance in the cells or a given organ. Since all matter is energy vibrating at different rates, by altering the rate of vibration we can change the structure of matter.Sound from Himalayan Singing Bowls:
*Entrains the brain to move into the Theta brain wave frequencies
*Induce deep meditative and peaceful states
*Clarifies the mind and intuition
*Engages your relaxation reflex
*Inhibits the stress or pain response
Through listening to Himalayan Singing Bowls one's internal dialogue, aka the "inner critic" is quietened. Their sound synchronizes brain waves and enhances awareness of the mind/body connection. After an hour, the body and mind feel calm and peaceful...relaxed and rejuvenated.

ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS
Dr. Robert M. Schoch
Biography: Dr. Robert M. Schoch is Director of the Institute for the Study of the Origins of Civilization (ISOC) at Boston University's College of General Studies, where he has been a faculty member since 1984. He earned his Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics from Yale University in 1983. Schoch maintains that true civilization existed 12,000 years ago and was decimated by the cataclysmic events, initiated by our Sun, that ended the last ice age, circa 9700 BCE. With John Anthony West, in the early 1990s Schoch uncovered geological evidence indicating the origins of the Great Sphinx date back millennia prior to its conventional dating of circa 2500 BCE (acknowledging that the current head is a dynastic re-carving). Subsequently, excavations of the 12,000-year-old megalithic site of Göbekli Tepe confirmed Schoch’s assertions regarding the extreme antiquity of civilization. Challenging mainstream opinion, Schoch is known through books (see especially, “Forgotten Civilization: New Discoveries on the Solar-Induced Dark Age”, 2nd edition, 2021), articles, television (NBC’s Emmy-winning “The Mystery of the Sphinx” remains a favorite among audiences), radio, conferences, and Internet shows, leaving millions questioning conventional dogma. For more information see www.robertschoch.com.
Catherine Ulissey
Biography: Catherine (Katie) Ulissey, is a researcher and collaborator with her husband, Dr. Robert Schoch. Prior to their meeting, she was a twenty-year professional ballet and Broadway dancer, a teacher, and choreographer. Her early childhood in Saudi Arabia sparked a lifelong fascination with ancient mysteries. Katie and Dr. Schoch met at a conference on the topic in 2007 and married on Easter Island in 2010. Together, they have co-authored works exploring ancient civilizations and their connections to cosmic events. Katie has contributed significantly to their joint research, including developing theories on: 1) the significance of the mysterious rongorongo script of Easter Island – the glyphs appear to record plasma [electrically charged particles] observed in the ancient skies during major solar outbursts, such as the one that occurred nearly 12,000 years ago, bringing the last ice age to an end and decimating early civilization at that time; 2) the recognition of Lichtenberg patterns on the Giza Plateau in Egypt, indicative of plasma discharges hitting the plateau; 3) the intentional burial of ancient Egyptian temples in remote times, and 4) the roles of hydrogen – which can encode information – and “conscious plasma” in human and cosmic cycles. For more information see www.robertschoch.com. She is the author of a children’s book, “Adriana and the Ancient Mysteries: The Great Sphinx”, published in German, Italian, and English (revised edition).
Dr. Brian Billman
