High-Tech Mindfulness
Dr. Jeffrey Thompson
Ancient approaches to meditation techniques from various cultures have shown us key elements necessary to achieve deeper states of consciousness and self-awareness. We now have new understandings of the inner workings of the brain and nervous system during these deeper states with advanced research.
Using advanced QEEG brain-mapping systems, next-generation real-time HRV monitoring of the Sympathetic/Parasympathetic zero stress zone: Homeostasis, we can pull back the curtain of just what goes on “under the hood” during advanced states of meditation and “mindfulness.”
This presentation covers an overview of the scientific use of brainwave entrainment to shift states of consciousness by altering brainwave patterns with sound waves… both for healing and for advanced meditative states. We cover the overall concept of aligning Vibroacoustic, full-body vibration technologies with synchronized brainwave entrainment technologies for a fuller “Mind-Body” integration approach to Mindfulness and Meditation as a new model of human function.
We will also cover an overview of the anatomy and physiology of brainwaves and brainwave entrainment, how different brainwave patterns are associated with specific states of consciousness and the science and technology of Binaural Beats and ancient forms of using sound to change consciousness (Bowls, Tingshaws, Gongs, Chant, Drumming).
Hold on to your mind as we journey into the heart of consciousness expansion, brainwave states, 3-D processing, Primordial Sounds and the future of high-tech sound work.

Vedic Astrology and Tarot: A Fusion of Two Ancient Wisdom Traditions
Tahia Lameer
Vedic Astrology and Tarot are both ancient systems of divination that have been used for centuries to gain insights into the future and the self. While they are distinct practices, there are some similarities between the two.
One of the most obvious similarities is that both tarot and astrology use symbolism to represent different aspects of human experience. The tarot deck is made up of 78 cards, each with its own unique image and meaning. Vedic Astrology, on the other hand, uses the positions of the planets, stars, and other celestial bodies to create horoscopes that can be interpreted to reveal insights about a person’s personality, relationships, and life path.
This workshop will explore the intersection of Vedic Astrology and Tarot. We will begin by an overview of the basics of Vedic Astrology, including the signs of the zodiac, the planets, and the houses. We will then examine the themes of the major and minor arcana of the tarot. We will spend the remaining time focusing on how the two are integrated for readings, with a live reading for an audience member.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be fascinated with the connection between Vedic Astrology and Tarot. They will have a deeper understanding with the belief that there is a connection between the microcosm (the individual) and the macrocosm (the universe). In other words, both tarot and astrology believe that the events and circumstances of our lives are influenced by larger forces, such as the movement of the planets or the patterns of energy that exist within the universe. Together, they are powerful tools that influence our self awareness and transformation, providing us the ability to make better decisions and live more fulfilling lives.

By the end of the workshop, attendees will be empowered to become agents of change, contributing to the collective mission of creating a peaceful, sustainable world where all living beings can thrive. Together, we can awaken the latent potential within ourselves and inspire a global movement towards coexistence, healing the Earth and building a brighter future for generations to come.

Journey Through a Past Life

Sync Your Cycle With Your Business & Life
Christine Garvin
Women naturally possess a beautiful monthly cycle, one that stays with us even into menopause. The problem is, we live in a world that tells us to constantly go-go-go, and this goes against our nature. Not only can this impact us health wise, but it’s also not the best or most fruitful way to run our business or personal life. In this presentation, you’ll learn the best times in your menstrual cycle to be out and about networking and connecting, and when it’s best to be in planning, strategizing, and intuitive mode, based on your cycle. Don’t worry if you’ve hit menopause – we’ll talk about ways to cycle sync during this freeing part of life, too. Along with learning best ways to support your business and personal life, you’ll also learn the best ways to support your hormones, too.

These three simple practices form the basis for our mental transformation. It starts with just six minutes a day.
As a bonus, we’ll also touch on the second half of the formula where we open our hearts. We LOCATE the space between our thoughts, OPEN our hearts, VEST in what we find there, and EXPAND beyond our conditioned limits. In L.O.V.E. we uncover the most genuine part of ourselves – our true nature.
