ACT April Gathering: Higher Realms and the Energy World We Live In

Another amazing ACT program! We learned about the “Higher Realms” with Alison Cullinane. She shared information, stories, and practical tips on how we can connect with aspects of the higher realms, work with them, and receive their help and support.

We enjoyed a brief meditation where we were invited to connect with a being (guide/aspect) of the higher realms to be part of our own personal team. It was fun to share in small group discussions our experience and what guide showed up for each of us.

Fabulous music by Jaxon Phoenix playing the handpan. To me, it felt like gentle rain from heaven and the energy of peace flowing throughout the room.

ACT 25th Anniversary Gala-Celebration and Sacred Community

The 25th Anniversary Gala for A Community of Transformation was more than a celebration—it was a living, breathing reflection of what happens when community, intention, and spirit come together as one.

From the moment guests arrived, there was a palpable energy in the room. A sold-out gathering of 90 people, each on their own unique spiritual path, yet united in a shared frequency of connection, growth, and remembrance. It wasn’t just an event—it was an experience.

 

One of the most powerful moments of the evening came through the words of Dr. Christine Page—an author, intuitive guide, and profound spiritual healer. Her message met everyone exactly where they were. Whether just beginning their journey or deeply immersed in their path, her words offered something rare—permission. Permission to step fully into one’s power. Permission to embrace spiritual gifts. Permission to trust what is already within.

There was a sense that something opened in the room during her talk—a collective exhale, followed by a quiet, shared knowing.

A deeply meaningful part of the evening was honoring the roots of it all—the founders of this beautiful community. Founder Linda Roebuck and the late Ed Roebuck were acknowledged and celebrated, their vision and devotion recognized as the foundation upon which ACT continues to grow and evolve. Their legacy could be felt in every connection, every conversation, and every moment shared throughout the night.

The evening flowed beautifully from there.

The food, thoughtfully prepared by Main & Market, nourished not just the body but the experience itself. Every detail felt intentional, supportive, and aligned with the heart of the gathering.

Music carried the night in a way only music can. The soul-stirring sounds of Teporah created moments of deep presence—inviting stillness, reflection, and connection. And as the evening shifted into celebration, the dance floor came alive. The playlist was vibrant, joyful, and freeing—an open invitation to move, laugh, and simply be.

And people did.

There was dancing. There was laughter. There were moments of quiet connection and moments of full expression. It was a reminder that celebration is sacred too—that joy is just as much a part of the path as introspection.

Another beautiful layer of the evening was the presence of a gifted videographer/photographer, who truly captured the essence of ACT. A heartfelt video was shared with the collective, reflecting the spirit, connection, and journey of the community, while stunning photographs from the night preserved the energy, emotion, and light that filled the room.

More than anything, the night embodied community.

Not community as a concept, but as a lived experience. People showing up as themselves. Being seen. Being felt. Standing together as pillars of light, each contributing to something greater than any one individual.

Twenty-five years of ACT was honored—but it also felt like a beginning.

A continuation of what is possible when we choose connection over separation, collaboration over competition, and presence over performance.

A night of remembrance.
A night that will continue to ripple outward long after the music faded.

Our March Presentation by Karin Sokel

Cheryl introduced our March gathering of A Community of Transformation (ACT) which offered participants a powerful exploration of personal and collective awakening through a presentation by Karin Sokel titled “Initiated into the Infinite: Expanding Consciousness Beyond the Known.”

Karin shared insights drawn from neuroscience, spirituality, and the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza, suggesting that humanity is living through a time of profound “initiation.” As the pace of life accelerates and global systems shift, we are being invited to become more conscious of who we are being in the world. She explained how our thoughts and emotions create habitual patterns in the brain and body—and how awareness allows us to transform those patterns, moving from stress and survival into creativity, coherence, and a deeper connection with what she called the “universal I AM.”

Through stories, science, and interactive reflection, Karin encouraged participants to view life’s challenges not as setbacks but as initiations—opportunities for growth that dissolve old identities and reveal a truer, more expansive self. The discussion also touched on the exciting possibility that a collective shift in consciousness is unfolding, inviting individuals and communities to participate in creating a more awakened world.

The presentation sparked thoughtful conversation and renewed inspiration among attendees. It was a powerful reminder that personal transformation ripples outward—and that gatherings like ACT provide a supportive space to explore these ideas together.

Our music for the day was offered by the brilliant Sahffi Lynn, an international singer/songwriter, vocal coach, and sacred guide offering their music, meditations, and teachings as medicine to illuminate your connection.

 

Mastery in Action: Living the Practice; our February Gathering featured Rev. Dr. Raymont Anderson as our keynote speaker

Our February gathering was a powerful and heart-opening exploration of what it truly means to live a mastered life.

After grounding together in a beautiful opening meditation—connecting earth and cosmos, heart and community—we welcomed Reverend Dr. Raymont Anderson, who invited us into a dynamic conversation about life mastery. Drawing from the Japanese concept of Shu-Ha-Ri—learn the rules, break the rules, transcend the rules—Raymont challenged us to look beyond simply practicing spiritual principles and instead embody them.

 

Through humor, honesty, and deep insight, we explored questions that linger long after the event ended:

  • What does mastery really mean?
  • Are we willing to release guilt, shame, and old limitations?
  • Can every moment—even irritation, conflict, or discomfort—become spiritual practice?

Participants reflected on daily habits, personal triggers, and the power of conscious choice. Together, we experienced a moving heart-centered exercise that expanded compassion beyond the room and out into the world. The takeaway was both simple and profound: self-awareness leads to self-mastery, and mastery is not about perfection—it’s about choosing love, presence, and peace again and again.

It was one of those gatherings that leaves you lighter, clearer, and more connected. Our musicians contributed to this clarity as well, engaging us in using our bodies as rhythm instruments! We are the music!

If you’ve been curious about ACT, this is what we do. We create sacred space for real conversations, transformative insight, and practical spirituality you can live. We would love to have you join us at an upcoming event as we continue celebrating 25 years—and consciously calling in the next 25.

Come experience it for yourself.

A Powerful Start to the New Year: Highlights from Our January 11 ACT Gathering

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.

December Holiday Party: “Winter White, Be the Light”

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.

ACT November Gathering: Exploring the Stars, the Soul, and the Power of Remembering

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.

Celebrating 25 Years of ACT: Leading from Within

ACT Founder, Linda Roebuck

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.

Kicking Off ACT’s 25th Year: Elohi Magdalena Rosa

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.

May Gathering: Clearing Your Energy Pathways: Ancient Inca traditions of Saminchakuy and Saywachakuy with Dr. Dena Deglau


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.
