Automatic Writing – Tom Ware - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Tom Ware will start with a true story about this life, and deal mainly with Automatic Writing. It took Tom 20 years to pluck up the courage to tell this story. Tom will cover the development of his Automatic Writing ability, and he’ll explain how others can develop it. Tom will also describe some of his experiences with Vipassana Meditation, which Tom has practiced for 36 years.
Mr. Tom Ware is ‘The Prince of Storytellers’, and member of the Australian Storytellers Guild. His books include an autobiographical account on automatic writing, and several works on self-knowledge and self-understanding.

Investigations into Retrocausal Effects in a Cueing Task - Dr. Jordan Wehrman
2:00pm to 3:00pm
Retrocausation is the idea that the future can affect the present. Rather than studying for an exam, and then getting a good grade, imagine sitting an exam, studying afterwards, and getting a better grade because of it. Jordan Wehrman will discuss nine experiments on cueing after a response has been made. Two of the experiments showed a small, but significant, effect of future cueing on current performance. Jordan will also give a broad overview of the cognitive neuroscience tools he uses, and describe how they may be used in future to better parameterise retrocausal effects.
Dr. Jordan Wehrman conducted doctoral research on illusions of time perception. Currently, he is doing research on consciousness at Sydney University, NSW. Jordan became interested in retrocausation when he came across an article by Dr. Bierman, who found that the future can affect reaction times in a classical cognitive science paradigm.
The Entropic Brain - Dr. Vladimir Dubaj & Cherie Dupont
3.30 - 4.30pm
Highly entropic (disordered) brain states result in more dynamic connections between brain regions that can lead to creativity, spiritually meaningful insights, and paranormal experience. Hence, an overlap is likely between entropic states and mediumship experiences. Vlad Dubaj is interested in how this theory might suggest purposeful ways of changing brain activity to induce more creativity and meaningful experience. Cherie Dupont will speak on the ‘loose mind’—the conscious state needed for mediumship and psychic experiences. She will conduct a brief meditation session on mindfulness.
Dr. Vladimir Dubaj earned his B.Sc. (Honours) in Neurophysiology, and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Instrumentation in Melbourne, VIC. He is founder and President of the Australian Parapsychological Research Association (APRA), through which he conducts research into the survival of consciousness, ghosts and haunting phenomena, poltergeist activity, and out-of-body and near-death experiences.
Cherie Frances Dupont’s (B.Couns) experiences, paranormal and spiritual, have been lifelong and over time she has come to fully embrace them. As a practicing psychic medium and qualified counsellor, she continues to work with paranormal aspects of life personally and professionally in Melbourne, VIC.
Paranormal Metal-Bending - Robb Tilley - 4.30pm - 5.30pm
Robb Tilley will host this psychokinetic metal-bending (PKMB) workshop. The audience will get hands-on PKMB experience bending steel spoons and forks. Make your own psychic souvenir using only your mind and PK energy. Stainless steel spoons and forks will be provided for this mind over matter experiment.
Mr. Robb Tilley is an experienced poltergeists and hauntings clearer. He resides in Sydney, NSW and is Public Officer for AIPR.

David Morehouse
A journey into consciousness (remote viewing)
Dr david morehouse,
Author, Educator, and former U.S. Army Special Operations Officer, Company and Battalion Commander and Remote Viewer for the CIA. USA
This is a presentation about human transformation. Nearly forty years ago, David trained a battalion of Jordanian Rangers in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. David was a killer elite, a U.S. Army Ranger Company Commander, a man whose life seemed on purpose; a military career assured. This destiny vanished in an instant when a Jordanian machine gun bullet struck his helmet, knocking him unconscious. What followed recast the azimuth of his life, setting into motion a journey through darkness to an awakening, an epiphany of science and spirit motivating a metamorphose of his life’s purpose and calling. His story is a journey into consciousness with perspectives on quantum physics and quantum mind, the moment, Remote Viewing, and more; all presented with the intention of inspiring a deeper understanding of individual and collective human promise and potential.

David Morehouse, Ph.D., is an international best-selling author, educator, and former U.S. Army Special Operations Officer, Company and Battalion Commander. The last President of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev invited Dr. Morehouse to present his “Alternative Methods of Conflict Resolution” at the first State of the World Forum in 1996. Dr. Morehouse lectures on global societal evolution, human consciousness, Remote Viewing, and the quantum physics of quantum mind to enhance human understanding of promise, possibility, and behavior. He has a B.S. from Brigham Young University, an M.M.O.A.S. from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, and a Doctorate from LaSalle University.

Richard Silberstein
Twins, telepathy and the brain.
Professor Emeritus Richard Silberstein
Director of Neuro-Insight (Melbourne, Australia)
Richard will describe findings from a recent Melbourne study undertaken to examine changes in brain Functional Connectivity (FC) associated with possible anomalous interactions between sensorily isolated identical (monozygotic) twins. Five set of female twins served as participants where one twin (‘sender’) passively viewed 100 images presented at random successive intervals while their sister (‘receiver’) viewed a static image in another room. It was hypothesized that if the twins were to demonstrate anomalous interactions, then the ‘receiver’ FC will exhibit statistically significant changes only when their FC estimates are based on the ‘sender’ image appearance times. It was observed that FC changes were consistent with the hypothesis in 11 of the 38 recording sessions. The significance of the findings as well as the problems encountered will be discussed.

Phone calls from the dead?
Dr Callum Cooper
Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Northampton (UK)
This presentation shall discuss the phenomenon of ‘anomalous telecommunication contacts’. Often, these contacts have been associated with After-Death Communication experiences, where reports occur of deceased individuals allegedly making contact. However, unusual reports of calls from living individuals and perceived ‘extra-terrestrials’ have been documented too. Cases shall be presented, research methods, controversies and theories.

Shifting to Hogwarts: Astral Projection, the Next Generation.
Samantha Lee Treasure
MA in Medical Anthropology from SOAS University of London, based in UK and Korea
Over the pandemic, a practice known as “shifting” or “shifting realities” became popular on social media. Incorporating the themes of law of attraction, multiverse and parasocial relationships, the main aims of this practice were to (a) shift into a parallel life, and (b) enter fictional worlds and encounter their favourite comfort characters. Astral projection became the tool of choice to achieve both, with out-of-body and incubation techniques disseminated to millions of Generation Z under lockdown. This talk will discuss this rise of shifting and its differences and similarities with the astral projection practices of Millennials and other generations.
