Vasant Lad introduced us to Ayureveda and explained how we learn our true selves from our relationship with others. If we are mindful of our feelings and reactions in relationships, we will find all we need to know about ourselves. He also introduced us to Vedic medicine principles and showed us how this ancient wisdom can enhance our model of health.
Shelly Kaehr took us all on a trip to our past lives through hypnotic regression, then through progression, on to our future. “The light trance state of this type of hypnosis allows us to get in touch with our own subconscious mind, to tap into information that we already possess,” she says. “The answers are already within each of us.”
The peak event of the conference, for me, was the “Village Rhythm Experience” lead by Onye Onyemaechi. This was a mix of drumming, trance dance, meditation, letting go, prayer, communion, community, and oneness like I have never experienced before. I found myself laughing and crying at the same time.
Some of the other great presentations I attended were by, Freddy Silva, Greg Braden, Dan Millman, Fred Alan Wolf, John Reid with Susan Hale, and J.Z. Knight. One of the delights of this conference was seeing and sometimes overhearing conversations between some of the greatest minds of our time. Many of the speakers were kind enough to sign autographs.

This was one of the best conferences I have ever attended. The quality of the speakers was excellent The location was sublime and the organization was world class. I definitely plan on going again next year.
