Death and Transformation, A Survival Guide for the 21st Century Conference
To view the Conference Photos, go to the bottom of this page.
The present Century is a time of great transformation. Are coming catastrophes going to be associated with 2012 or will 2012 bring welcome changes? And can we expect the long awaited arrival of the frequency of a new age? This conference was an extraordinary opportunity to equip yourself with knowledge and the necessary tools, not only for the unique opportunities the years ahead will offer, but whenever the death of long held paradigms are experienced.
Because of the generosity of Pamela Jaye Smith, Sharon Crigler, Bruce Lipton and Steve Finly, we were able to video tape interviews with our speakers and some of our Board and Branch Chairs. After the interviews are edited we will put them up on our website so you’ll be able to listen to them. I think you’ll find them fascinating. Check back with our soon.

We explored a blueprint for transformation.
- Death – What it is and what it means - Our lives are a series of smaller deaths, i.e., old thinking patterns, personal relationships, global systems and economies. Do you know when it’s time to let go?
- The Anatomy of Change - What is it, why it is uncomfortable, and why do we sometimes fear it? Are you ready to take action?
- The Architecture of Thoughts – How do we create new thoughts and beliefs that will help us transform current thinking patterns and allow us to arrive at our goals?
- Higher Consciousness – How do you develop awareness of yourself as soul in order to gain greater knowledge, creativity, and wisdom and meet the challenges of the 21st century?
- Other Techniques to add to your survival kit.
