September’s ACT gathering was a joyful and energizing invitation to consider what it really means to live a transformational life. Our presenter, Francie Boyce, drew on decades of spiritual practice, teaching, and energy work to offer simple ways we can shift our thoughts, relationships, and everyday experiences.

Francie reminded us that our thoughts and beliefs can become the “script” we live by—and that becoming more conscious of that script gives us an opportunity to choose something new.

The session was highly experiential, with everyone invited to participate in exercises designed to release stressful thoughts, strengthen feelings of safety and support, and create greater connection with others.

Francie introduced practices such as the “blowout” for letting go of difficult thoughts, “zipping up” with affirmations, and figure eights as a way of getting in sync. Participants described feeling lighter, calmer, and experiencing an energy shift. Underneath the exercises was a larger message: transformation can begin with very small choices about how we show up, what we believe, and how we relate to one another.

Adding to the spirit of the gathering was the extraordinary musical artist Word, whose music and poetry opened the session with an invitation to welcome one another, connect, and bring our full selves into the space. His artistry beautifully complemented Francie’s message about connection, love, authenticity, and transformation.

The September session was a wonderful example of what makes A Community of Transformation (ACT) so special: meaningful ideas, practical experiences, inspiring presenters, creativity, and—most importantly—a community where people can learn, grow, and support one another. If you’ve been wondering what ACT is all about, this is a great time to join us and experience it for yourself.

What a beautiful afternoon we shared together at Francie’s breathtaking waterfront home, surrounded by nature, vibrant flowers, gentle breezes, and the cleansing energy of the water.

The Together We Bloom picnic was a beautiful reminder of what makes ACT so special—community, connection, growth, and transformation.

Throughout the afternoon, we participated in meaningful activities that offered profound insights into what each of us is blooming into individually, while also helping us envision what ACT is blossoming into collectively. There was laughter, reflection, heartfelt conversations, and a deep sense of belonging.

The food was absolutely delicious, nourishing, and lovingly prepared—a true reflection of the care and intention that flowed throughout the day.

One of the greatest gifts of ACT is being surrounded by high-vibrational beings who inspire us to grow, expand, and remember who we truly are. Being together felt like coming home.

As we pause for the summer months, we invite you to continue nurturing the seeds that were planted during our time together.

Until then, may your summer be filled with joy, rest, connection, and moments that remind you just how brightly you shine.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
