The ACT Annapolis community gathered once again in the spirit of connection, collaboration, and conscious transformation — and the energy in the room was truly palpable from beginning to end.
The gathering opened with a deeply immersive sound journey led by the gifted Susan Richards, whose high-vibrational frequencies anchored the room beautifully and gently guided everyone inward. Through sound, stillness, and resonance, Susan helped create the sacred foundation for what would become a profoundly moving collective experience.
From that grounded and heart-centered space, transformational intuitive facilitator Christine Kloser guided attendees through an experiential exploration titled “Exploring the Sacred Container of Connection”. In a world that often encourages constant doing, striving, and noise, Christine offered something many people are quietly longing for — permission to slow down, breathe, and simply be.
Through mindful speaking, deep listening, sacred witnessing, and intentional presence, participants were invited into authentic connection not only with one another, but with themselves. The room became a living example of what happens when people gather with openness, gentleness, and a shared intention for growth and healing.
Rather than simply discussing connection conceptually, everyone present was able to feel it. There was a softness in the room. A safety. A remembering.
As the day unfolded, layers seemed to dissolve. Walls softened. Hearts opened. Conversations deepened. The collective energy elevated into something that felt deeply transcendent and transformational.
To close the gathering, Susan once again brought the room into resonance through sound while Dr. Dena Deglau shared profound downloads and reflections with the collective centered around remembrance — remembering who we truly are, remembering spirit, and remembering the love that connects us all as one.
It was a powerful reminder that healing does not happen in isolation.
It happens in community. In presence. In being seen. In being heard. In slowing down long enough to remember.
This is the heart of ACT Annapolis.
A heartfelt thank you to Christine Kloser, Susan Richards, Dr. Dena Deglau, and every soul who showed up with openness, authenticity, and love.
Together, we continue to co-create spaces where transformation unfolds naturally, connection deepens organically, and healing expands collectively.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.”
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.
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.
musicians contributed to this clarity as well, engaging us in using our bodies as rhythm instruments! We are the music!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
