Ten expert keynote speakers and nine workshop presenters, as well as 20 metaphysical practitioners and exhibitors will explore a variety of paranormal subjects addressing the event's "Connecting Science and Spirit" theme. Also scheduled is a film festival and diverse special activities, along with appearances by previous Symposium speakers, celebrity filmmakers and authors, and live radio coverage throughout the event. Many activities during the event are free to the general public.
Instead of the usual opening night "meet and greet" gathering, The 2011 Symposium weekend will begin with an interactive dinner/debate, during which speakers, workshop presenters, and audience members will all discuss science and spirituality connections across numerous paranormal fields of study. The dinner/debate will be filmed for future television broadcast, recorded for radio programs, and will also be available as a webinar. "As far as I know, a 'debate' format is new at this type of conference," said event organizer Janet Sailor. "I'm anticipating a lively dialogue discussing the relationship between physics and fantasy, evidence and opinion, and
science and spirit. "
"The speakers and presenters at this year's Symposium read like a world-wide Who's Who of paranormal research and experiences," Sailor continued, "and include Dutch paranormal investigator Bert Janssen, British ET experiencer and author Steven Jones, New Mexico MUFON director Don Burleson, para-science researcher Larry Flaxman, Dulce, NM mysteries investigator Edmund Gomez, author and acutonic sound practitioner Michelle Many, Native American Wisdom Keeper Rainbow Eagle, author and radio host Dr. Rita Louise, publisher and theological researcher Scott Roberts, and ancient alien theorist Anthony Sanchez."
Workshops and seminars cover dowsing, exorcism, crop circles, Native American Peace Shield teachings, ceremonial dances, parallel worlds, and cosmic contact. Presenters include Tolteca-Chicimeka Elder Tlakaelel, geomancer and clairvoyant Virginia LoneSky, Reformed Catholic Church of North America Bishop John M. Duffey, Native American Wisdom Keeper Rainbow Eagle, creative dowsing experts Dan and Cynthia Nichols, author and crop circle investigator Lucy Pringle, and global shamans and ceremonialists Terra-Raye and Gushikawa of the Blooming Bush women.
"This Symposium is stacked with smarts, so I'm advising everyone to bring their brains," noted Sailor. "With speakers and presenters exploring theories of quantum and theoretical physics, parallel universes, UFOs, string theory, human origins, native prophecies, ET contact, spirituality, transformative consciousness, exorcism, and ancient aliens, thinking will definitely be required!"
Celebrity filmmakers and a variety of films with paranormal themes are featured at the free Symposium Film Festival. Pocket Watch Productions will be on hand to premier "The Haunted Elkhorn Lodge" and "Walking History of the Matchless Mine." Travis Walton will make a special appearance introducing "Fire in the Sky," the popular feature film documenting his 1975 abduction experience. The award-winning film "UFOs, ETs, Abductees, and Brilliant Minds" will be introduced by filmmaker Patty Greer. Noted Hollywood filmmaker Paul Davids will screen a sneak preview of his new film, "The Life After Death Project," as well as clips from many of his award-winning sci-fi films.
Special activities include an intimate afternoon with Travis Walton, who will open himself to questions and discussions about his abduction experience, a Steven Jones lunchtime presentation with details of his ET contact experiences, a book/CD/DVD signing afternoon with celebrity authors and filmmakers, a Taos mesa
UFO Skywatch evening with ET contactee Todd Michael, and concerts by the Blooming Bush Women. And, of course, no paranormal conference would be complete without talented psychics, healers, astrologers, and tarot readers, along with vendors offering a variety of paranormal-related merchandise.
"The old saying 'so much to do, so little time' applies here," declared Sailor. "My advice is to visit the event website for details and schedules - and especially, since seating is limited for several Symposium activities, to register in advance. With so many activities available, I suggest if there was ever a reason to request vacation
time or take a personal day, this Symposium is it."
The 2011 Paranormal Symposium and Film Festival is presented by Alliance Studying Paranormal Experiences (ASPE), a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Symposium and workshop registration information, along with event details and schedules are available at http://www.aspesymposium.com.
