"What The Bleep
Do We Know!?"
"If I change my mind, will I change my choices? If I change my choices, will
my life change?" These are but two of the questions pondered in the sleeper
hit, "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" which began raising the consciousness
and curiosity of moviegoers and DVD viewers. Axiom Conferences/The Great Rethinking,
an international presenter of major conferences on science and philosophy, in partnership
with the filmmakers, will present "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" Conferences
over the weekends of April 29-May 1 in Boulder, Colo., June 3-5 in Miami, Fla., July
1-3 in Portland, Ore., August 12-14 in Vancouver, Canada, and October 14-16 in Scottsdale,
Ariz.
Bringing together the scientists and visionaries from the film, the filmmakers, the
stars, along with special guest presenters, these gatherings are planned to be uplifting,
liberating and insightful. Those from the film include Marlee Matlin, Dr. Fred Alan
Wolf, JZ Knight, Dr. Joseph Dispenza, Dr. Amit Goswami, Dr. John Hagelin, Dr. Jeffery
Satinover, Dr. Stuart Hameroff, Dr. Miceal Ledwith, Dr. William Tiller, Dr. Candace
Pert, Elaine Hendrix, and filmmakers Betsy Chasse, William Arntz, and Mark Vicente.
Special guest presenters thus far confirmed are Lynne McTaggart, Dr. Deepak Chopra,
Rhonda Britten, Karen Berg, and a man called Adam.
The group of respected scientists and philosophers appearing in the film will be
speaking in 90-minute, interactive segments during the conference, including Dr.
Joseph Dispenza, who intrigued audiences with his prescription for sculpting our
own lives:
"I wake up in the morning and I consciously create my day the way I want it
to happen," he says. Dr. Dispenza will expand on this concept during these events.
Speaker sessions will not overlap, so attendees can participate in each presentation.
In addition, the film will be shown on Saturday night during the conference.
"There are so many great minds and ideas presented in the film," said Axiom
executive Robin Haines-Johnson. "We look forward to combining those with the
creative minds of our participants. It promises to be an exciting and informative
experience."

Seeds of Transformation: spiritual renaissance
ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. -- Weapons of mass destruction do exist in Iraq. Indeed,
they exist worldwide. But they aren't the military hardware you might think. They
are an arsenal of individual and collective beliefs that proclaims, "My path
is the only right path to God."
Close to 1,000 people from around the world -- clergy and laypeople, scholars and
students, professionals and laborers, business people and artists, policy makers
and concerned individuals of many faiths and traditions -- intend to locate and dismantle
those weapons in an international theological conference June 3-5 at Bard College,
90 miles north of New York City.
"Seeds of Transformation: Toward a Spiritual Renaissance in a Time of Fundamental
Change" will reveal a trend in which people around the world inspect the spiritual
weapons in their arsenal of beliefs, including ideas that we are "better"
than others, that we are separate from one another, and in particular that God wants
it only one way on this earth and that we had better get it right or we are sure
to be condemned.
The groundbreaking event, which will also explore the ramifications of the trend,
will feature some two dozen speakers, including world-renowned authors, theologians,
scientists, artists and spiritual leaders of Eastern, Western and indigenous faiths.
It is co-sponsored by the Institute of Advanced Theology at Bard College, dedicated
to a better understanding of the world's religious traditions, and Humanity's Team,
a nonprofit, pluralistic educational movement founded by the "Conversations
With God" author Neale Donald Walsch.
Besides lectures, panel discussions, seminars and workshops, the conference will
feature special screenings of award-winning films depicting the changing religious
and spiritual climate, a live theatrical production of a critically acclaimed religious
drama, inspiring sculptures and paintings of scriptural figures and spiritual expression,
uplifting performances by Emmy and Grammy Award-winning musicians, and an outdoor
multi-faith prayer service officiated by clergy from a range of faith traditions,
among the many activities of intellectual and spiritual enrichment.
The event will also serve as the site of Humanity's Team's 2005 Worldwide Gathering.
Dubbed a "civil rights movement for the soul," Humanity's Team -- composed
of some 10,000 people from 94 countries on six continents -- seeks to free people
from oppressive beliefs about God, life and each other so that humanity can truly
experience unity and oneness.
The price of attendance for all three days is $650. Attendees can also register to
participate on any single day. Affordable sleeping accommodations are also available
on campus. For more information or to register, www.bard.humanitysteam.org or call

Dolphin & ET Civilizations
The first Dolphin and ET Civilizations Conference, featuring an interdisciplinary
gathering of academic scholars, researchers, channels and scientists in the field
of Human-ET and Dolphin communication, will be presented June 10-12 at King Kamehameha's
Kona Beach Hotel in Kona, Hawaii, hosted by Joan Ocean, Jean-Luc Bozzoli and the
Dolphin Connection.
As humanity prepares to initiate contact with people living in civilizations beyond
Earth, the dolphins impart knowledge and provide examples of living cooperatively
and successfully in shared space. The wisdom of the dolphins, including the significance
of their tones and frequencies in relation to our changing DNA, and our spiritual
connections to non-local reality, will be disclosed at this conference for the first
time. Participants will learn about ET visitors, their civilizations, cultural philosophies,
spirituality, spatial reality, landscapes, anthropology, history, health, schools
of higher learning, physics, science, medicine, art, intergalactic travel, telepathy
and time shifts with the differing values in the composition of diverse planes of
existence. Hear from the experts about their contacts with the Pleiadians, Sirians,
Arcturians, Andromedans, Dolphins, Whales and more.
Speakers include nuclear physicist and ET researcher Stanton Friedman, remote viewer
and author Dr. Courtney Brown, Dr. Richard Boylan of the Star Kids Project, Earth
mysteries researcher Linda Moulton Howe and many others. A weeklong post-conference
ET contact seminar will follow at Sky Island Ranch June 12-18 for those interested.
The cost of the conference is $295. For more information, visit www.ETFriends.com/conference,

Wild Women's Gathering
A "Medicine Woman Intensive," focused on increasing the power of their
gifts as women to effect, inform and heal the living world, will be the focus of
the sixth annual Wild Women's Gathering in June at the Sweet Medicine Sanctuary,
a restored riparian wildland and home to the educational Earthen Spirituality Project
& Women's Center in New Mexico's Gila National Forest.
Activities include meaningful rituals, mindful walks, awareness exercises, grieving
and celebrating, wildcrafting, food as communion, medicine sweats, river splashing
and ecstatic riverside dancing. Participants will be encouraged to share their visions
and dreams, hopes and fears, skills and stories. The site is a gorgeous wildlife
sanctuary on private land, and an ancient place of worship requiring both sensitivity
and affection.
With the nearest neighbors being staunchly anti-environmentalist, the caretakers
have made an art of outreach and bridge building to help define common values and
priorities for a shared future. It's there in that enchanted canyon that author/teachers
Loba, Kiva and Jesse Wolf Hardin host seekers from around the world for special riverside
retreats, wilderness quests, wild foods gathering, empowering counsel and self-growth
for men and women. Orange and purple cliffs and giant cottonwoods and pines are the
backdrop for personal healing, heightened clarity and sense of purpose.

Walk-In Conference
DENVER -- "Walk-Ins 101 -- Living On Earth and Loving It!" will be presented
by WE International July 29-31 in Denver, Colo., featuring author and visionary Ken
Page, author and energy healer Krista Goering, astrologer Maxine Taylor, healer Nancy
Nester, chiropractor Dr. Elizabeth Roth, and author and speaker Ranoli.
Participants will explore the questions "Who am I? Why am I here? and What do
I do?" and how walk-ins can live life on purpose and with passion. The walk-in
experience is described as a soul transference, in which the birth soul has agreed
to step aside, allowing a second soul to assume the body and undertake a unique life
purpose and direction.

Eckankar seminar: Notes from the event
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minneapolis Convention Center was filled to capacity on March 25 with
Eckankar members from all over the world -- smiling faces from all walks of life
and different cultures, a mix of humanity -- who arrived to hear Sri Harold Kemp,
their spiritual leader, speak.
Mr. Kemp's talk, the highlight of the Spiritual Skills Seminar, focused on divine
love, health matters and karma (the law of cause and effect) and related spiritual
principles. Eckankar members responded with love and respect, and youths in attendance
offered tremendous applause and accolades. The event also featured workshops, roundtables
and study forums in and around the convention center. Other activities were hosted
at the Temple of Eck in Chanhassen, Minn., with regular transport provided to and
from the Convention Center.
The Twin Cities hosts two major Eckankar seminars a year: Spiritual Skills Seminar
in the spring, focused on spiritual growth -- the essential teaching of Eckankar
to experience the mysteries of God; and the Eck Worldwide Seminar in October. The
Worldwide Seminar celebrates the spiritual new year of Eckankar, signifying the high
point of spiritual growth in the year's cycle and the beginning of a new cycle for
the coming year. Each seminar lasts from three to four days, and newcomers are always
welcome. Eckankar gatherings are included in the top 12 conventions and business
events in the Twin Cities, according to The Business Journal.
Eckankar, which has members in more than 100 countries, has its world headquarters
in Chanhassen, Minn. Its grounds include a recently completed office building and
the Temple of Eck, better known as The Golden Wisdom Temple. The temple is open to
members and visitors on specific days. To learn more, visit www.eckankar.org or call (952) 380-2222. -- report
