Field notes from the 24th Annual Conscious Life Expo and the emerging language of healing, plasma and planetary awareness.
There are moments in culture when conversation shifts from surface discourse into quieter territory where deeper questions begin to circulate. The 24th Annual Conscious Life Expo ran from February 20-23, 2026 in Los Angeles. The expo unfolded as a concentrated field of collective attention, attuned to healing, ancestral memory, cosmology, and the widening horizons of human consciousness.
Attending as press for the UB Post (Ulaanbaatar Post), I encountered a gathering animated by interior inquiry. Participants moved through lecture halls and exhibition corridors with the softness of individuals navigating sacred space. Conversations emerged with unusual intimacy. Stories carried emotional weight rarely acknowledged within institutional environments.
The expo felt like a temporary city organized around remembering.
Morning sessions opened with breathwork practices where dozens sat in quiet synchronization, inhalations rising and falling like collective tide. In adjacent rooms, researchers explored consciousness through neuroscience and cosmology while artists installed visionary works shimmering with archetypal imagery. Vendors offered herbal medicines, plasma devices, sacred geometry tools and books mapping spiritual cartographies across cultures.
What surfaced across these encounters was an evolving cultural orientation: healing understood as multidimensional process shaping body, psyche, memory and identity simultaneously.
Plasma, Trauma & the Body as Cosmological Interface
During an interview with filmmaker, consciousness educator and PLASMA EMPRESS* Danna Kippel, the conversation settled around plasma as foundational medium linking life, energy and awareness. I was honored to interview her as we delved into her life story and new book A Miracle Force. Kippel spoke about plasma as a physical state of matter with a dynamic energetic field through which consciousness interacts with biology.
Her perspective situates trauma within energetic architecture rather than purely psychological narrative. Emotional shock leaves imprints across subtle fields that influence nervous system regulation and perception. Healing, in this framework, becomes process of restoring coherence within these fields through intention, somatic awareness and relational presence.
“Plasma reframes the body as cosmological interface participating in energetic dialogue with the universe.”
Plasma operates as connective substrate bridging physics and phenomenology, cellular memory and emotional resonance, cosmic structure and human embodiment. The concept reframes the body as interface participating in energetic dialogue with its environment, suggesting that healing involves recalibration across visible and invisible layers of experience.
The implications extend beyond therapy into cosmology. Plasma composes the majority of observable universe. Viewing consciousness through plasma lens situates human experience within a continuum linking stars, atmosphere and cellular processes. Trauma healing becomes act of realignment within a universal energetic ecology.

Disclosure, Curiosity and the Ethics of Knowing
The presence of investigative journalist Ross Coulthart generated palpable interest throughout the event. Although scheduling prevented a formal interview, conversations surrounding his work circulated widely. Coulthart’s advocacy for transparency regarding unidentified aerial phenomena reflects broader cultural curiosity about humanity’s place within a potentially inhabited cosmos.
His investigative efforts embody a commitment to epistemic openness challenging institutional secrecy while inviting public dialogue around questions traditionally relegated to speculative margins. The resonance of his work within the expo environment highlighted a collective readiness to engage cosmological uncertainty with intellectual seriousness and emotional maturity.
Micro-scenes of Healing Methodologies
Throughout the expo, individual encounters with speakers revealed a mosaic of healing approaches unified by emphasis on integration.
Mathematician Robert Edward Grant stood before a room filled with geometric projections, tracing sacred patterns that seemed to breathe across the screen. Participants leaned forward as he described geometry as experiential language embedded within biological and cosmic structure. The atmosphere carried quiet wonder as abstract forms acquired visceral immediacy.
Psychologist Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell spoke with measured clarity about consciousness extending beyond conventional neurological frameworks. Her lecture invited reconsideration of cognitive diversity as potential expansion of perceptual capacity rather than deviation from norm.
Visionary researcher Adam Apollo addressed the audience with a tone combining technological optimism and spiritual responsibility. His reflections on planetary stewardship and consciousness evolution resonated with participants navigating the intersection of innovation and ethics.
Philosopher Sacha Stone spoke about sovereignty with quiet intensity, encouraging attendees to examine internalized structures shaping identity and autonomy. The room held attentive stillness as individuals contemplated personal agency within collective systems.
Therapist Blake Bauer facilitated sessions centered on emotional healing through heart-based practices. Participants described experiences of release and reconnection that unfolded with gentle immediacy.
Medical educator Dr. Clint G. Rogers presented integrative frameworks bridging physical health with energetic well-being, reinforcing the interconnectedness of physiological and psychological dimensions of healing. I am excited to read his book Ancient Secrets of a Master Healer this year.
Master healer Clarice Chan guided experiential practices exploring subtle perception, while speakers including Marzcia Techau, Dr. Sharnael Wolverton Sehon, and Aurora Luna Star contributed perspectives on vibrational medicine, emotional integration and consciousness activation.
Altered States and the Architecture of Awakening
In conversation with consciousness researcher Danny Goler, founder of Code of Reality, the dialogue turned toward altered states as therapeutic pathways. Goler described these states as opportunities for ego dissolution and reconnection with source consciousness, emphasizing ceremonial context and integration as essential components supporting kundalini awakening.
“Healing becomes process of restoring coherence across visible and invisible layers of experience.”
Our discussion unfolded amid ambient sound of distant lectures and soft music from nearby meditation room. The setting mirrored the subject matter layers of experience coexisting within shared space. Goler’s perspective framed awakening as gradual process involving nervous system recalibration, identity reconfiguration and creative expansion.

Ancestral Resonance and Mongolian Spiritual Continuity
For a Mongolian American observer, the expo’s themes carried ancestral familiarity. Mongolian shamanic cosmology articulates worlds interconnected through spirit navigation, ancestral mediation, and ritual practice. Historical narratives within The Secret History of the Mongol’s embed cosmological awareness within lineage, while Tibetan Buddhist teachings map transitions of consciousness with remarkable phenomenological precision.
Manduhai Buyandelger’s ethnographic research demonstrates how these traditions persist and adapt within contemporary Mongolia, revealing resilience of spiritual epistemologies across sociopolitical transformation. The expo’s discourse resonates with this continuity, highlighting the enduring relevance of indigenous knowledge systems within global conversations surrounding healing and cosmology.
Art as Translation of Interior Experience
Visual artworks and performances throughout the expo transformed interior states into shared sensory environments. Visionary imagery, immersive soundscapes and ritualized performance invited contemplative engagement that bypassed analytical interpretation. Art operated as translational medium through which altered perception entered collective imagination.
Artists presented works exploring archetypal symbolism, energetic fields and cosmic landscapes, inviting viewers into experiential dialogue with symbolic language. Creative practice emerged as method of consciousness research generating perceptual environments where viewers encounter expanded awareness indirectly yet meaningfully.
Leaving the Field
As the final day concluded, conversations lingered in hallways with quiet reluctance to depart. Participants exchanged contact information, reflections and gentle acknowledgments of shared experience. The atmosphere carried subtle emotional gravity characteristic of gatherings where internal shifts unfold collectively.
I sat on the panel featuring Bashar, delivered through Darryl Anka’s channeled transmission and observed a room held in focused stillness. The dialogue centered on parallel realities, vibrational alignment and radical self-responsibility as tools for navigating personal transformation. The atmosphere carried attentiveness rather than spectacle. Bashar’s cosmology unfolded as an internal framework through which participants reexamined fear, choice and identity. The emphasis remained on empowerment through alignment with one’s highest frequency and conscious decision making in each present moment.
Leaving the expo did not produce closure. A sense of quiet expansion accompanied departure, along with heightened sensitivity to symbolic meaning within ordinary environments. The gathering’s impact resided in experiential resonance – a recalibration of perception extending beyond the event’s temporal boundaries.
The Conscious Life Expo stands as threshold space where individuals explore expanded awareness while cultivating languages capable of articulating subtle experience. It reflects a cultural moment in which consciousness emerges as central conversation shaping art, healing, scholarship and identity.
What remains is recognition that awakening increasingly manifests as collective phenomenon embedded within everyday life. The expo offers glimpse into evolving mythologies through which humanity attempts to understand its place within an interconnected cosmos.
And within that unfolding dialogue, a shared act of remembering continues.
