Our January 11th gathering was a beautiful way to begin the year—rooted in connection, creativity, and heartfelt intention. Members and guests came together for an afternoon that reminded us why ACT continues to be a welcoming, heart-centered community after 25 years.

We opened the event grounded in presence and gratitude, honoring the collective spirit that makes ACT so special. With appreciation for our volunteers, collaborative leadership, and shared vision, the room was infused with a sense of belonging and possibility—setting the tone for a meaningful year ahead.

Our featured speaker, Laura DeFranco, founder of Brave Healer Productions, led us through a deeply engaging and inspiring experience centered on storytelling, self-awareness, and transformation. Through poetry, personal reflection, and guided writing, Laura invited participants to explore what she calls “brave spaces”—those moments where we pause, listen inward, and choose to live more authentically.

It was a powerful program of self-discovery, self-awareness, and moving forward into the new year with purpose and intention. It felt really great.

Our music for the day was offered by Teporah and blended beautifully with the theme of the day. Temporah and Laura also coordinated music for our writing time.

And there was a surprise gifting by ACT Member, Gary Niki who handed to each of us a red Fire Horse envelop for the new year which begins on February 17. Thank  you, Gary!

If you are a member and were unable to attend, we strongly encourage you to watch the video and experience the healing and the insights for yourself.

On Sunday, December 14, we welcomed friends—both new and longtime—to celebrate the holidays, one another, and ACT’s 25th Anniversary. Our party theme, “Winter White, Be the Light,” honored the light within each of us and how that light grows as we connect and spend time together. The decorations beautifully set the holiday mood.

Although we had suggested conversation starters, they proved unnecessary as lively connections formed naturally. The food was wonderful, and the wassail was a particular favorite.

The pièce de résistance was a mini-concert by Bob Sima. With his long-standing connection to ACT, Bob truly understood the significance of our 25th Anniversary. His music was divine, inspiring the group to sing a little, dance a little, and share in the joy of the evening. We left feeling uplifted, connected, and filled with even more Light.

Our November ACT gathering was nothing short of extraordinary—an afternoon filled with deep presence, spiritual curiosity, and a shared sense of awakening. After ACT Chair Carol Robbins opened the space with grounding, centering, and a call to our guides and the Soul of ACT, we settled into the energy of community and anticipation. As part of our 25th anniversary year, we were reminded of the vibrant path ahead—our sparkling March gala, our upcoming holiday celebration December 14th, and the many opportunities to come together and lift one another up.

Both before and after the keynote presentation we enjoyed very special music by our guest musicians, Laura Kucine, Dennis Kolb and Gary Hardnett.

The highlight of the day was an illuminating and heartfelt presentation by Greg Martins, a retired NASA engineer turned explorer of consciousness, star origins, and the Akashic Records. With warmth and humility, Greg shared his decades-long journey of connecting with higher guidance, discovering his own “home world,” and learning to access the Akashic Records with the assistance of spirit mentors. He invited us into stories of interdimensional experiences, intuitive development, and the profound healing that can arise when we understand the energetic roots of our lives across time.

Greg described the concept of the oversoul—the higher, expansive aspect of ourselves that holds our soul memories, guides our evolution, and connects us to our origins beyond Earth. Through examples from his own practice, he shared how individuals can gain clarity about their star lineages, strengthen intuition, and even experience physical or emotional healing through this deep soul-level work. His stories of clients recognizing aspects of their cosmic heritage—sometimes confirmed through unexpected symbols or lifelong intuitive pulls—reminded us that spiritual truth often arrives through resonance, not reasoning. You can learn more in Greg’s new book, “Star Journey Home.”

The session closed with a powerful reflection and grounding offered by Cheryl Pace that brought us full circle: this was more than a talk—it was a remembering. We were invited to feel into the “home” that lives not in the sky, but in a frequency within us. Greg, as beautifully stated, acted as a bridge between science and spirit, between our human curiosity and our cosmic identity. The message was clear: many of us are awakening to something long-known, and gatherings like these help us reconnect with that inner truth.

As we left the space, hearts open and energy grounded, we were reminded that ACT is not only a place to learn—it is a place to return: to ourselves, to community, and to the deeper wisdom that guides us all. We hope you’ll join us for our upcoming celebrations and future programs. If you’re seeking inspiration, connection, and the joy of shared awakening, ACT’s door is always open.

October’s ACT gathering was a heartfelt celebration of our 25-year journey—and a beautiful exploration of what it means to lead from within. Guided by longtime members and founders, we revisited ACT’s inspired beginnings, when one woman’s vision blossomed into a circle of light that continues to expand and uplift today.

Lilia Shoshanna Rae

Through reflection, song, and small-group experiences, we explored circular leadership—the idea that every voice, every heart, and every act of love contributes to the whole. Participants shared dreams for ACT’s next 25 years: expanding our community, nurturing intergenerational connections, deepening healing work, and perhaps one day creating a physical home for this ever-growing circle.

Dr. Stephany Porter

The afternoon culminated in music and a moving channeled closing message honoring unity, transformation, and love in motion. The energy was vibrant, the vision bold, and the circle strong.

Join us for future gatherings as we continue this sacred journey—awakening hearts, expanding light, and shaping the next chapter of A Community of Transformation.

Our September session was a powerful beginning to ACT’s 25th anniversary year! We opened with grounding and centering practices that reminded us of our deep connection to the earth, spirit, and one another.

Founder of ACT, Linda Roebuck

Founder Linda Roebuck shared heartfelt reflections on ACT’s origins and growth—reminding us how one inspired vision blossomed into the vibrant community we celebrate today.

We were then blessed by the presence of Elohi Magdalena Rosa, a voice alchemist, author, and channel, whose profound teachings and transmission invited us to release old patterns, awaken our multi-dimensional hearts, and embody the template of grace. The experience was deeply moving—woven with sound, light, and love that words can barely capture.

We also welcomed our new Co-Creation Council, the guiding circle for this milestone year, and closed in gratitude with poetry reminding us to “marinate in love.”

A reflection from Vicki Fearey:

Dena at Work

Dena’s wise and gentle presentation on Sunday took me deeply into an experiential time of expanded energy.  Dena is a Shamanic Practitioner trained and formally initiated in the ancient Inca tradition of Saminchakuy and Saywachakuy. Her talk entitled, “Clearing your Energy Pathways,” did just that. After a short talk about energy explaining that every single thing is made up of energy and also covering high vibration energy, Sami and low vibration energy or heavy energy and how to send heavy energy down to Pachamama. After Dena touched upon the concept of the energy bubble we live in, she then led us into several meditations giving us the experience of expanding our energy bubble. I felt totally relaxed, expanded and lighter— like I had more Sami, as she called the highest vibration. We were all very gifted with Dena’s ability to help

Everyone filled with Light

us restore our natural flow of energy. She condensed so much wisdom and magic in 2 hours and, though I didn’t understand all of it, I left feeling lighter, expanded and more prepared for what she called the sacred reciprocity.

We came, we saw, we experienced! And it was awesome! We have a super talented group of business members who shared their healing powers and energy with the audience. To quote one of our regular attendees, “It was the best ACT event ever”.

We had a beautiful mix of healing music/vibrations, energy movement, energy clearing, energy information for healing the body, and messages from Spirit and beyond. Truly amazing. Each presentation built on the previous.

One of the overarching themes was that of transformation. As we become more present, connected with our intentions, and aligned with our purpose, we expand our possibilities and become co-creators in life. Thanks to the energy work, we left with open hearts and feeling inspired.

We wrapped up the event with delicious refreshments and time to talk with the speakers and fellowship with other attendees. Lovely!

We enjoyed an extra wonderful presentation by Kimberley Madden guiding us to understand our astrological birth chart and the impact of astrological events as we go through 2025. Spoiler alert, 2025 is a big year for change and transformation.

For the first half of the presentation, we each worked on completing worksheets to help us understand how the planets, stars, and astrological houses affect each of us personally, based on our astrological birth chart. It was very enlightening to learn the impact of our birth chart on our personality and how we experience life.

The second half of the presentation was about the many, many astrological events that are coming in 2025 and the impact each one will have on different zodiac signs. For each of us, we can use the information from self-discovery in part one, to prepare and embrace the astrological events for our own personal transformation.  One key message is that we are on the edge of a huge transformation that will affect institutions, change banking, and create a new way of life for the better eventually.

We also had the special treat of having Teporah share her wonderful music with us. We were grounded and centered with beautiful music that combined a singing bowl with the piano. We also heard a beautiful Hallelujah hymn that opened our hearts.

If you were unable to attend the gathering, the recording is available to all members. Definitely worth a listen!

Wow! We experienced a wonderful presentation by Dr. Carol Robbins, psychotherapist and relationship expert. She combined her clinical background with spiritual concepts to share wisdom and insights on how we can have a better relationship with ourselves and also with a partner or somebody we are close to.

Dr. Carol shared how in our early days, we first learn to survive by giving up parts of ourselves. Later, through challenges in life, we do inner work to reconnect to our divine brilliance that was present all along yet hidden by unconscious beliefs, patterns, and coping mechanisms. She shared many suggestions on techniques and methods that support doing this inner work. Dr. Carol wrapped up the presentation with some practical things that we can do to have a better relationship with our partner.

We were blessed with extra special music from the team of Sheri Owen, Dennis Kolb, and Chad Holmes. With the music, it was easy to feel at peace, feel loved, and feel connected with the Divine. Really lovely.

If you are an ACT member and were unable to attend, the program was excellent. I encourage you to get the recording and give it a listen. You’ll be glad you did.

We experienced a wonderful presentation by Atoussa Davis on the power of Biofield tuning forks to lift the vibrational frequency of our bodies. Atoussa led us in a beautiful guided meditation integrated with playing of the tuning forks. We also each got to experience the tuning forks applied to our bodies so that we could feel grounded and peaceful.

For the second half of the program, Atoussa described “Emotion Code” and how emotions can get trapped in our body and can also create a wall around our heart. Atoussa then did energy work — releasing emotions for the group as a whole. This was very helpful as we were just post-election.

At the end of the program, folks shared that they felt more peaceful, calm, and quiet.  What a blessing!

The program was recorded and is available to ACT members.
