2011 ASPE Paranormal Symposium

As the inhabitants of Earth experience the transformative period of 2012 and beyond, shifts in universal paradigms, understanding the origins of humanity, and the choices available to mankind all become monumentally important.

Bring your heart, your soul, and especially your brain to the 2011 Paranormal Symposium in Taos, NM, where an impressive group of keynote speakers and workshop presenters will address a variety of issues currently being questioned and confronted by humanity. These experts will discuss their experiences, detail their investigations, and examine connections between science and spirituality in these troubled times. Topics include UFOs, ancient aliens, ETs and abductions, cosmic changes, Native American prophecies and legends, angels, nephilim and the origins of humanity, Dulce area animal mutilations and secret underground base, the Star Child skull, crop circles, crystal skulls, exorcism, and other paranormal mysteries.

Several alumni speakers from previous Symposiums will be honored guests at this year's event, with meet and greet opportunities and book signings scheduled; and psychics, healers, readers, dowsers.

The Kachina Lodge in Taos, NM will serve as headquarters for Symposium lectures, workshops, seminars, Native American dances, a film festival, and other activities related to a variety of paranormal subjects at the ASPE 2011 Paranormal Symposium October 25-30.

Workshops, seminars, and abundant special activities are scheduled throughout the week, along with a film festival, and nightly Native American dance performances.

Psychics, readers, healers, dowsers, and other metaphysical practitioners will be on hand with extraordinary skills and talents. Visit with vendors offering unique jewelry, metaphysical art, oils and potions, crystals, books, and other paranormal-related merchandise.

The Symposium will offer some new activities this year, including a Friday-night dinner/debate with keynote speakers, metaphysical practitioners, and audience members all participating in an open dialogue around the Symposium theme "Connecting Science and Spirit." The dinner/debate will be filmed for future television broadcast.

Other special activities include celebrity book signings, along with a free film festival featuring film premiers and sneak previews, a UFO Skywatch, paranormal tours, and a silent auction.

The event will officially open with a VIP Kick-Off party Tuesday evening in the Zuni Lounge and pool area (weather permitting) at the Kachina Lodge, with folks encouraged to dress up as their favorite paranormal character and enter the costume contest. Jerry Pippin will once again provide live coverage of the entire event, and will be available throughout the Symposium to interview speakers, workshop presenters, celebrities, visitors and local folks seeking their 15 minutes. Visit http://www.jerrypippin.com/angel_fire_symposium.htm for Pippin interviews from previous ASPE Symposiums.

As an added bonus, the annual Taos Hot Air Balloon Festival will take place early in the mornings during the Symposium weekend, providing a whole different kind of "sighting" in the New Mexico sky! (http://www.taosballoonrally.com/)

The Kachina Lodge (http://kachinalodge.com/) is in the heart of "old" Taos, just steps from the entrance to the thousand-year-old Taos Pueblo and Taos Pueblo Casino, and only a few blocks from historic Taos Plaza, art galleries, shops, museums, and restaurants. The Kachina Lodge has made the entire hotel available to ASPE for the Symposium, and is offering excellent room rates for the event.

Taos, NM is one of the most popular tourism destinations in America, with thriving communities of metaphysical practitioners and world-famous artists, breathtaking scenery and outdoor activities, along with historic buildings and museums filled with Native American and Old West history. Taos has been continuously inhabited longer than any other town or urban area in the United States, and was originally a part of the Spanish and Mexican territories before the Mexican-American war.

Taos Pueblo (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) was built centuries ago by the Tiwa tribe. The Pueblo sits on 48,000 acres of land at the base of majestic Wheeler Peak, the tallest mountain in New Mexico at 13,161 feet, and includes the natives' sacred Blue Lake near the mountain's summit. Taos Pueblo offers tours with up-close-and-personal glimpses into Native American and Pueblo activities. (http://www.taospueblo.com/)

In a related event, Living Labyrinths for Peace (http://www.livinglabyrinthsforpeace.org/) activities will take place October 20-24, also at the Kachina Lodge. The two event weekends will be connected with a variety of workshops, seminars, Native American dances, tours, and other activities scheduled by both organizations.
