Connie and Andrew believe the only way out is UP, to a higher level of consciousness through a deeper understanding of the conscious, loving, abundant nature of the universe and humanity’s place in it. They are authors of the book “THE TRUST FREQUENCY: Ten Assumptions for a New Paradigm,” an indigenous cosmology/quantum science synthesis.

They will present a multi-media talk and discussion:“Thoreau, the Pope and the Indian: A Shared Vision” Connie discovered twenty years ago that both she and Thoreau, the mystic, envision a future in which the cosmology of the Native Americans will be integrated into the prevailing paradigm. In this presentation, Connie and Andrew will show how Native American scholar Chris Peters, Mexican Catholic Bishop Samuel Ruiz, Pope Francis, Thoreau Scholar Brad Dean and Penobscot Elder Arnie Neptune support this vision and foresee a society transformed by the melding of the indigenous worldview and the Western perspective on the nature of the Universe. First presented at The Thoreau Society July 2016. Also presented at the Aspen Chapel IONS Community, Aspen, Colorado March 2017.

There will also be a sneak preview of Andrew and Connie’s related short doc “SEEDS OF FREEDOM: A Vision for America” that will have it’s world premiere at the Garifuna International Indigenous Film Festival in Venice May 20 at 4:30 pm. Liberty! Justice! Equality! A new perspective presents a revolutionary look at the syntheses between European colonists and the American Indian in the evolution of the American democracy, mind and spirit.
