Global Wholeness

Activating the Solution: the Power of Conscious Love that inspires, heals, and unites!

Opening Address - Premise: We are in the midst of a quantum paradigm shift. The shift is occurring right now, not somewhere in the future. It is happening on all levels of reality, from Quantum physics to Astrophysics. From our individual lives to our collective life on the planet. The key to transformation is connecting to wholeness and unity, both on an individual and a global level.

8:00 pm -9:30 Opening Keynote with Gregg Braden

Choice Point 2012:

The Secret Of Our Past, The Promise Of Our Future

Fact: December 21st of the year 2012 signals the end of a long and mysterious cycle of time—a great World Age that began 5,125 years ago.
Fact: World Age endings in the past have triggered cataclysmic shifts that have changed the face of the Earth and altered entire civilizations.
Fact: The predictions for 2012 and beyond range from an era of chaos and destruction to a thousand years of peace and cooperation.

What does 2012 mean for us today?

The answer lives as a message coded into an ancient map of time. In this compelling new presentation, best-selling author Gregg Braden merges the laws of fractal patterns with the cyclic view of the universe to create a powerful model of time—Fractal Time. Using this model, he offers a realistic view of what we can expect in our lives, and for our world, as we approach 2012 and the end of the current World Age cycle!

How Does Fractal Time Work?

Ancient traditions viewed time as a never-ending dance of cycles. Modern evidence agrees, suggesting that time’s cycles move as great waves that pulse throughout the universe. As each new cycle begins, it carries the same conditions as the past, but with a greater intensity. Braden proposes that it’s these cycles of fractal time that create the events of our everyday world, which carry two powerful implications:

1. The cycles of time account for everything from the way we age to our patterns of relationships—and even the wars between nations.

2. Each returning cycle carries a window of opportunity—a choice point—that allows us to select a new outcome for the patterns of the past.

The Key: If you know where to look in the past, you’ll know what to expect when the same conditions repeat in the future.

Braden has created a powerful new tool to do just that: the Time Code Calculator! Join Gregg as he demonstrates the Time Codes in this one-of-a-kind multimedia event. In this conversational-style presentation filled with new discoveries, true-life accounts, and crystal clear examples, you will discover:

The ancient science of cycles and what it means for your life!
The dates in the past that hold the secret of 2012 and beyond our present World Age cycle!
Demonstrations of the Time Code Calculator, including two dates in which it accurately predicted the conditions for a surprise attack on America, and a third date before 2012 that still remains!
The “Hot Dates” that hold the greatest threat of war, the greatest opportunities for peace, and the keys to recognizing the economic cycles in our future!
How you can find your personal cycles of love, betrayal, and success!

2012:Twilight Of The Gods

From the Mayans to Wagner and beyond

In the fourth Ring opera by Wagner, called Gőtterdämmerung, the heavens are on fire, the flames consume the Gods, and the message to humanity is, ‘You Must Now Do It On Your Own.’ Five thousand years before Wagner, the Mayans designed a different kind of opera and called it a calendar. The messengers are different, but the message is the same – The kingdom of heaven is within you. Open your eyes and open your ears to your own inner mastery. Bert Janssen will discuss the Mayan Calendar, Wagner, and the tapestry that weaves the two together - the 2009 Crop Circles in Wiltshire, England. The time is now!

4:00 -5:00 Laura Alden Kamm

Inspired Change

One constant in life is that we are always facing the element of change. Most change we really don't pay that much attention to. When something shows up out of what is ordinary to us, we tend to react. But what does reacting do for us? Does it stop the change from occurring? Not always. But it certainly brings out our control issues. After all, all we all want is to be content, safe, happy and have our needs met.

Currently, many are being forced to change. If we had paid attention, we would have been inspired by going in different directions. People want what they want and when you work with inspired change, you get what you need when you need it. Many are operating out of fear. Fear is the mechanism of instinct. This is the primal level where many people stay frozen. Laura had a NDE and faced the ultimate fear. You don't have to go to that place. Learn how you can turn fear around by using the skills that you have inside of you to bring inspired change that is perfect for your life. Laura will teach you how to pay attention, how to work with the fear and learn the three steps to creating inspired change that will empower your life.

Closing Keynote address

Reinvention of Self: How to Lose Your Mind & Create a New One

In this infinite sea of potentials that exist around us, how come we keep recreating the same realities? - Dr. Joe Dispenza

The most often referenced interview in the multi-award winning docu-drama What the Bleep Do We Know!? was with Dr. Joe Dispenza – on how he creates his day. In What the Bleep, Dr. Joe began to explain how the brain evolves – by learning new skills, developing the ability to concentrate in the midst of chaos, and even healing the body and the emotions.

Dr. Joe has spent decades studying the human mind how it works, how it stores information, and why it perpetuates the same behavioral patterns over and over. His extensive research in neurology, neuroscience and brain function was recently published in his acclaimed book Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind.

Now, Dr. Joe brings these cutting edge scientific findings relating to the quantum world, mind, spontaneous healing and the biology of change including the science behind the premise that thoughts do matter. For those that attended Dr Joe's workshop last year, we will take the information to the next level by setting new intentions, reducing stress, and learning the keys to change.

In this enlightening discussion, Dr. Joe will cover areas such as:

Setting intentions
Learning the keys to change
The effect of stress on the brain and the body, why we need to reduce stress
How to connect to the quantum power within you
What is mental rehearsal and how can we use it to change
The importance of the frontal lobe in reshaping your brain and your destiny

Dr. Joe will cover what neuroscience has to say about rewiring the brain, his research into spontaneous remissions, and why we keep repeating the same patterns in our life. He will provide sound information that allows you to draw important conclusions and understand how new thinking and new beliefs can literally rewire one’s brain to change behavior, emotional reactions, and habit-forming patterns. In effect, reinventing yourself! Dr. Joe will take you further on the journey of brain evolution in this interactive workshop where you will work on a particular area of your life that you wish to change, and learn first hand the tools you need to change your results.

Using multi-media presentations and through interactive processing that allows you to begin to make important changes, you will be given the important steps to overcome destructive emotional states such as insecurity, unworthiness, anger, and so on – and replace them with new states of mind. In this enlightening discussion, Dr. Joe will cover areas such as:

Setting intentions
Learning the keys to change

10:00 am- 4:00 pm in the Art Cabin

Please be prepared for a possible short hike/walk outside weather permitting.

The Workshop Premise
In the quantum field, we are already whole and completely healed. We also know that we are complex beings with a multiplicity of functions: mental, emotional, biophysical, spiritual and subtle anatomy. To integrate all of who we are is essential in the current environment of acceleration and change. Focusing primarily on mental processes, emotional balance, or spiritual practice, segments our progress towards integration. Dr. Backstrom and Ronna have been teaching that we are capable of deep and integrative alignment on all layers of our energetic expression. They have worked together over the past three years to create a system of whole spirit integration that they call “Hologos System ™: Radiant Balance for Heart, Mind, Body and Spirit.”

The Workshop Instruction
Join Dr. Backstrom, chiropractic physician, clinical psychologist and acupuncturist, and Ronna Prince, spiritual teacher, numerologist and energy practitioner for a full day workshop that will provide you with tools to access your whole spirit and reintegrate the gifts of peace and joy into your energy system. Dr. Backstrom will expand his teaching on self-care using laser-light technology, available for personal use. He and Ronna will address one of the keys to whole spirit integration which is Alignment on all levels of your energy system. An important component is an innovative expansion of the traditional 7 chakras into a more complete chromatic system of 12. Together, Dr. Donald and Ronna's research has correlated the full integrated 12 charka system into the 12 physical organ systems, 12 cranial nerves, 12 spiritual bodies, and the 12 acupuncture meridians (and more!). A simple technique to locate your own blocks will be explained so you can become your own master meta-physician. During the workshop, you will participate in a series of meditations aimed at reintegration of your whole being. Creating with Whole Spirit (12) can change your life! Guided Meditations will be recorded and you will have a personal CD to take home with you.

The Topics/Teachings:
• A simple technique to locate your own blocks will be explained so you can become
your own master meta-physician.
• The Meta-Laws of Confluence – a powerful heart-centered shift.
• Aquarian chakra meditation to integrate the energy shifts that are accelerating
• Wisdom from the Quantum Field that connects the latest developments in science as
they apply to consciousness and the process of change-creation
• Dr. Backstrom's 3 keys to well being: electromagnetic health, adrenal function, emotional balance
