The first thing all of us noticed, was the incredible surroundings of Port Townsend, Washington. What an unbelievable location to hold a spiritual/metaphysical conference (with science sprinkled throughout). It is kind of like the Santa Fe of the Northwest.. Trees, Ocean, Trails, Old victorian homes, all kinds of metaphysical shops and co-op stores. It was truly as if stepping back in time to the turn of the century. I was so happy I had brought my mountain bike. It made for some memorable rides.

I would like to thank Cody Johnson and Robin for the gracious and warm welcome and for inviting me to a beautiful experience. Everyone was in a similar mode. It was as I had a hoped, a community could come together for a single cause. Ego's and attitudes were checked at the door. It has renewed my hope for us "All To Move On" TOGETHER...

James Twyman - This was the first time I had met James. He brought the crowd to tears and laughter. He is a wonderful story teller, with a message of peace, hope and togetherness. He closed with a John Lennon song "Give Peace A Chance". He brought the house down as we all joined in.

Steven Greer - It was good to see Steven once again. We have shared two conferences in the past. He was his usual terrific self. Great news on ufo head way, both scientific and political.

Joe Firmage - The first thing out of Joes mouth when we met was "Hi Mitch, after all the communication we have had on the net, it sure is good to put a face to a name. It is great to meet you". Joe gave an incredible talk on what is to come. He truly is the next generation of UFO enthusiast. One of Joe's most welcomed applause came when he stated, without reservation, "The internet will NEVER be policed or controlled". He brought the house down with thunderous applause. You could feel the electricity in the air.

John Mack - Dr. Mack methodically went through his procedure to extract information from abducties. He gave us a detailed account of what people would report of their experience. He highlighted the fact of how similar their descriptions are. This led him to believe "it was not just hallucinations or psychosis". It was enough to leave us with great concern and question.

Gregg Braden - My absolute favorite. I have interviewed Gregg many times, but the one I did right on the floor of the one of the conference rooms with people all around, is indeed my very best. I will post this and other interviews on our real audio archive page asap. Gregg continues to grow and unfold into a most unique speaker and teacher. He comes from a science background in aerospace and geology. He is one of the most gifted people I know who can truly bridge the gap between science and the esoteric.

Folks, I am hopeful we can mirror what has been able to take place at this conference. A since of unity, community, togetherness, and belonging. Let us hope we can put away ego's and short sighted narrow minded thinking which only separates and divides. We need each other now more than ever.   

Pass The Word

Best Wishes,
