Klaus Dona has been the Art Exhibition Curator for over 30 cultural exhibitions in Austria, Japan and Korea, like "The Glory of the House of Habsburg", "Rubens and his time", etc. Being a specialist in culture and art exhibitions, his attention was automatically drawn to a phenomenon called 'Ooparts' - out of place artifacts. These are artifacts that should not exist according to current science. Klaus Dona has been researching these types of artifacts for over a decade and, after a long preparation, decided to set up an exhibition of 470 of these (Ooparts) pieces, which he called ''Unsolved Mysteries''. Klaus will speak about many of his strangest Ooparts, as well as the bones of ancient giants that have been presented to him, and the recent discovery of the remains of a 20 foot tall giant in Bolivia he has been asked to examine.

Shelley Yates lives in Nova Scotia, Canada, and has not only died and come back, but had the wonderful good fortune to come back with a message of hope and love for our earth and its inhabitants. Shelley first learned how to apply her new knowledge from beyond to bring her son back from death in an unprecedented display, using the power of faith, love and the manipulation of personal human energy. Her son returned whole and happy. She was told "what you did for a dying boy with a small group of people you can do for a dying planet with a large group." She shares her story of miracles and her knowledge of human energy potential with all that are willing to listen. Her final outcome has been the creation of a world project in which all of humanity can contribute to change the earth we live on, creating prosperity, peace and healing for all that desire it.

Shelley Yates and her son, Evan, were drowned in 2002 when their car hydroplaned off the road, overturned, and sank to the bottom of a flooded marsh in Nova Scotia. Shelley was trapped in the car. A voice told her not to struggle or she would not be able to be revived when she would be rescued. She had never heard such a voice before this. She did not believe in God. She says of herself, "I was a 'diehard atheist'." Yet, she did not struggle, and she drowned. It was 15 minutes before she was rescued. After she was revived, she alerted the EMT's to find her son, who was age 4 at the time. Close to 30 minutes passed before he was pulled from the water. It took more time for the EMT's to get him breathing again. At the hospital, he was diagnosed as brain dead with non-viable organs, and given only 1% chance of surviving. However, Shelley was told by the voice that he would recover if many persons came and shared the energy of their auras for 20 minutes each.

As a couple, Robin and Joseph have been practicing Conscious Loving for ten years. Though they are polar opposites, they have become each other's greatest friends and together have experienced the deepest pain of separation.  Through a tenacious commitment to persevere and create Unity, inside and out, their marriage has become the catalyst for their Souls to awaken and heal.  Joseph and Robin have been blessed with three amazing children who have initiated them into a new form of parenting honoring the needs of each child's soul evolution.  Two of the children developed challenging physical/emotional conditions.  Robin and Joseph were shown that unconscious family dynamics, ancestral conditioning, and the Soul beliefs of the children needed to be transformed in order to create holistic healing miracles.  The whole family system evolved consciously to support the physical and behavioral changes.

Joseph has created several successful architecture and construction-related businesses, responsible for built projects totaling over $2 billion.  When he moved to Santa Fe in 1999, and immediately met Robin, he was ignited to pursue the multidimensional healing gifts that he maintained throughout his life.

As a trained architect and psychic, Joseph envisions the physical and finer bodies, Soul and Essence structures, and the organization of the Universe in architectural terms: interrelated systems of elements synergistically intertwined.  Joseph assists people to transform the structures of consciousness to allow them to create different realities.  He integrates dimensional DNA healings with grounded structural healing techniques.

Tom Campbell began researching altered states of consciousness with Bob Monroe (Journeys Out Of The Body, Far Journeys, and The Ultimate Journey) at Monroe Laboratories in the early 1970s where he and a few others were instrumental in getting Monroe's laboratory for the study of consciousness up and running. These early drug-free consciousness pioneers helped design experiments, developed the technology for creating specific altered states, and were the main subjects of study (guinea pigs) all at the same time. Campbell has been experimenting with, and exploring the subjective and objective mind ever since. For the past thirty years, Campbell has been focused on scientifically exploring the properties, boundaries, and abilities of consciousness.

During that same time period, he has excelled as a working scientist, a professional physicist dedicated to pushing back the frontiers of cutting edge technology, large-system simulation, technology development and integration, and complex system vulnerability and risk analysis. Presently, and for the past 20 years, he has been at the heart of developing US missile defense systems.

Tom is the "TC (physicist)" described in Bob Monroe's second book Far Journeys and has been a serious explorer of the frontiers of reality, mind, consciousness, and psychic phenomena since the early 1970s. My Big TOE is a model of existence and reality that is based directly on Campbell's scientific research and first hand experience. It represents the results and conclusions of thirty years of careful scientific exploration of the boundaries and contents of reality from both the physical and metaphysical viewpoints. The author has made every effort to approach his explorations without bias or preconceived notions. There is no belief system, dogma, creed, or unusual assumptions at the root of My Big TOE.

By demanding high quality repeatable, empirical, evidential data to separate what's real (exists independently and externally) from what's imaginary or illusory; Campbell has scientifically derived this general model of reality.

Mahala Gayle is an Astrologer, writer, lecturer, minister, one of the founders of the Asklepius Light Center, the editor of the Asklepius Light Center Newsletter since 1988 and writer/editor of Planet Alert articles.   Planet Alert articles have appeared in many publications over the years.

Studying the science of Astrology since the early 1980′s has allowed her to become an expert in Mundane Astrology (study of world events).   Over the years, her tracking of the planets in connection with their relationship to earthquakes, floods, storms, volcanic eruptions and other natural phenomenons as well as man made phenomenons (such as war) enhances her abilities as an expert Mundane Astrologer.

Mahala Gayle has also extensively studied the Book of Revelation in the Bible.   From that study she has been able to correlate the Bible and its relationship with the stars.   She has appeared on many local (Puget Sound Area) TV programs discussing this topic in depth. After watching the predicted events transpire one after another, she came to the conclusion that there is a master plan in action and a path to understanding that master plan is through Astrology.

Evidence that Astrology is a path to understanding this plan, is best demonstrated by the history of Jesus.   The science of Astrology was held in high esteem during the time of Jesus, as the wise men (Magi) who visited Jesus shortly after his birth, were known to be Astrologers.
