Exploring Quantum Consciousness, Expanding into Quantum Love
Suzanne opens the retreat by co-hosting this introductory presentation with Tim Spenny who inspired the theme. Suzanne has been a consciousness explorer for over 20 years having studied extensively and experienced virtually. She has researched channeled material, spiritual texts and quantum concepts. She has been engaging in deep trance meditation and guiding spiritual journeys for many years. Her journey has revealed answers to the greatest mysteries of creation and filled her with life with so much meaning and purpose. Now she is focused on spreading unconditional love and inspiring others to transcend ego and separation to dive into quantum love together.
Co-host, Alan Steinfeld
As the host of New Realities TV for over 20 years, Alan has interviewed countless thought leaders about endless topics related to consciousness, spirituality and contact. He offers profound insights and humorous antecdotes as he supports Suzanne in introducing the speakers. He has known most of them for years and brings in personal stories that are inspirational and endearing. Alan's bestselling book, Making Contact, is an anthology with authors that share their contact experiences and consciousness perspectives. Alan's focus is Awakening Consciousness for Cosmic Contact. He explores how contact invites an evolution of awakening of the Cosmic Mind—one in which humanity begins to recognize itself as an integral participant in a living, cosmic ecology of mind. The result is a profound redefinition of what it means to be a conscious being within an inter-connected, multidimensional Uni-Verse. You will love his angelic energy and endearing approach!

PRESENTATION:
Developing Self-love, Awakening to Quantum Love
What if the moments where everything falls apart are not a mistake, but a sacred setup?
Many of us look at the "Dark Night of the Soul" as a crisis to escape. But in the quantum field, this darkness is an entry point. It is the moment the old programming cracks, forcing us to stop seeking validation "out there" and start remembering the immense light within.
In this presentation, the Norwegian podcast host of Wisdom From North and spiritual teacher Jannecke Øinæs shares her own profound journey through the shadows of the human experience into the expansive field of Quantum Love. Drawing from her personal spiritual and mystical awakenings, her upcoming book, and insights from interviewing hundreds of the world's leading visionaries, Jannecke bridges the gap between human struggle and divine truth.
She will guide you through the alchemy of radical self-love, showing how discovering the greatness within completely changes how you live, navigate, and manifest in your daily life. You will learn how to bring your inner "trolls" into the light, shifting contraction into pure energy.
Step out of the spiritual waiting room, collapse the distance between you and the Divine, and awaken to the Quantum Love that already lives in your heart.

Near-Death Experiencer, Eben Alexander
Eternity of Souls and their Entanglement
Dr. Eben Alexander will talk about the impact of his near-death experience at the age of 54 and how it completely changed how he sees life and the fundamental nature of reality. His worldview transformed from reductive materialism to one that acknowledges the oneness of mind that connects us as eternal souls through the binding force of love. By acting with forgiveness, compassion, kindness and caring for others to become the best version of ourselves, we contribute to the evolution of universal consciousness.

Mythologist, William Henry
Sacred Paths: Recovering the Luminous Thread that Connects Humanity to its Galactic & Divine Origins
What if humanity's greatest mystery is not where we came from—but what we have forgotten about who we are?
Across the world, ancient civilizations preserved a remarkable memory. They spoke of a luminous connection between humanity, the stars, and the Divine. This sacred thread appears in myths of heavenly teachers, shining beings, divine ascent, resurrection, enlightenment, and the awakening of a hidden light within the human form.
In this inspiring presentation, investigative mythologist William Henry follows this luminous thread through the sacred art, architecture, symbols, and wisdom traditions of the ancient world. From Egypt's Akh and the star-born pharaohs to the radiant icons of Christianity, from the celestial journeys of the shamans to the Rainbow Body teachings of Tibet, a common message emerges:
Human beings are more than biological creatures. We are participants in a cosmic story of remembrance, transformation, and return.
At the heart of this journey lies sacred art featuring a luminous thread. Far from being decorative, the world's great sacred images were often understood as what we would call quantum technologies of consciousness—living maps designed to reconnect us with our higher origins. Join William and follow the luminous thread.
ZaZar Channeler, Marilyn Gewacke
The Great Awakening: Light Technology and the Art of Vibrational Living
Come join this extraordinary, transformative time with Marilyn Gewacke, Ph.D. who is a clinical psychologist and channeler of ZaZar-an omnidimensional Cosmic being. ZaZar will be sharing his extraordinary wisdom about these somewhat tumultuous, yet exhilarating times of immense transformation of the human species. He will help us understand the new principles of Light Technology, guiding us on a journey to embrace higher vibrational experiences of the Ascension process. As we all allow ourselves to harmonize with the divine/cosmic frequencies surrounding us, we ignite our co-creative spark to sculpt and synthesize the Golden 12th Bridge, carrying us to the New Dawn of Earth. There will be be ample time to sit with ZaZar and Marilyn to engage in scintillating conversations about understanding the current times, human pitfalls and revelations about the New Human Unity Community. Curious thoughts and inquiries are encouraged during this talk as ZaZar weaves a beautiful mosaic of higher frequencies and heartfelt love. Join us to have a truly transcendent journey into your own magnificent world within.
Plant Medicine Guide, Paul Hynek
NDE Survivor, Dr. Scott Taylor
Lessons from Light: What We Can Learn from Near-Death Experiences
Humanity’s future has been revealed during NDEs. In most scenarios, that future foretells a world where we are connected to the loving source of all creation. Shared and near-death experiencers (SDErs/NDErs) have wonderful stories to tell us about what life is like in the nonphysical universe. Their insights can inform our daily life in the physical.
Scott presents what he has learned from his years of NDE research and teaching binaural beat-enhanced meditation to reach expanded states of awareness. The lessons center on the true nature of the universe and how that nature defines and enhances the human condition during the ascension/awakening process.
Hypnotherapist, Laurie McDonald
Integrating the Extraterrestrial Experience: Awakening the Sovereign Mind
Extraterrestrial contact is more than an extraordinary phenomenon; it is a profound catalyst for spiritual awakening. In this transformative presentation, Clinical Hypnotherapist Laurie McDonald explores how anomalous contact experiences can help us move beyond the confines of three-dimensional duality. Drawing on decades of deep regression work with experiencers, Laurie reveals what these encounters teach us about the true, multidimensional nature of the human soul.
At the heart of this awakening is the realization of absolute human equality and personal power. You will learn how to cultivate a sovereign mind, stepping away from fear and into a state of profound self-mastery. We will explore how groups utilizing meditative manifestation techniques not only connect with higher spiritual potentials but also unlock their natural extrasensory abilities.
Join us to discover practical, grounded steps for expanding your consciousness. You will leave this presentation with a clear framework to safely integrate extraordinary experiences, reclaim your inherent power, and honor the brilliant, multidimensional truth of who you are.
Neuroscientist, Daniel Branco
Spiriduality: Spiritual Initiation for Rational People
Does your brain create your consciousness or does your consciousness create your brain? That seems like just another abstract question of no consequence, but its answer has a bigger impact on our lives than we imagine. Most of our decisions and worldviews derive from assuming our brains are real while consciousness is just a by-product of brain activity. This book presents the case that consciousness may be more real than the brain and gives you the tools to build a better life and a better world around you based on that new understanding. Here you’ll explore the dualities of brain vs. consciousness, the physical vs. the spiritual, our nature as creation vs. our nature as creator, and measured vs. experienced realities, and the idea that a fundamental, spiritual reality can be found in the most tangible place: our own consciousness.
Regressionist, Lesley Mitchell-Clarke
Exploring Encounters with Extra/Ultra-Terrestrial Beings…in the past, present and future….
Is ET Contact “real”, and how long has this phenomena been going on? What motivates my interest in the history of ET contact, and why am I focused on this issue in the scope of my work as a Certified Clinical Master Hypnotherapist? What is the advantage of working with an individual contactee for numerous sessions?

Consciousness Explorer, Tim Spenny
Entry Points to High Consciousness:
Higher consciousness and expanded awareness is not reached through a single path but through multiple human experiences. Across cultures and disciplines, people report strikingly similar shifts in awareness through near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, meditation, psychedelics, religious encounters, intuition, psi phenomena, synchronicities, and anomalous events such as UFO/UAP or apparitional experiences.
Rather than treating these as isolated curiosities, we propose that they may be interconnected expressions of a broader consciousness landscape—one that challenges conventional boundaries between psychology, spirituality, physics, and lived experience. Using this framework, we examine how the phenomena converges around common themes: heightened intuition, profound meaning, deep interconnectedness, encounters with strangeness, and a felt expansion of self beyond ordinary consciousness.

Channeled Messages from the Herschiel Angels
Becoming the Vessel: Working with the Herschiel Angels to Anchor New Earth Frequencies
In this experiential session, Cristina Aroche guides participants into understanding how the human body and energetic system are designed to receive, hold, and transmit higher light frequencies. Drawing from her work with the Herschiel Angels and multidimensional consciousness, Cristina explores how resonance is what allows true leadership, clarity, and coherence to emerge in this next phase of New Earth embodiment.
Through grounded teaching and guided energetic attunement, participants will learn how to care for their physical and energetic bodies as vessels of higher frequency, release resistance to receiving light, and align with the leadership that naturally arises from coherence and inner stability. This session offers both insight and direct experience, supporting participants in becoming conscious conduits for the frequencies they are here to anchor.

Kundalini Alchemy: Transforming Chaos into Creative Power
In this experiential beachside immersion, you will explore the transformative power of kundalini as a living force of awareness, vitality, and creative intelligence.
Through yogic breathwork, movement, kundalini yoga energy-field expansion practices, and a powerful group activation, participants will directly experience the art of energetic transmutation. You will learn practical techniques to strengthen your energetic field, remain centered amidst external chaos, and transform challenging energies into fuel for growth and expansion.
As this process unfolds, you'll discover how greater clarity of purpose, creativity, and connection naturally emerge when energy is consciously directed rather than resisted. Set against the rhythm of the ocean, this workshop offers a direct experience of how connecting with the primal energy of your soul can transform life's challenges into opportunities for growth, creativity, and inspired living.
