5th Annual West Coast Michael Gathering

Welcome! This year we will be at the IONS EarthRise Center near Petaluma, CA, from Thursday evening through Sunday afternoon, Nov. 3-6, 2016. You may attend for all or any part of that time, either staying overnight on campus or coming as a commuter “day use” attendee. For more details see the Program Schedule and Registration pages.

Our main presenters will be Shepherd Hoodwin, Steve Cocconi, Mike North, Susannah Redelfs, Phyllis Magal, and Peter Winchell. We will have a "Basic Michael" session led by Shepherd. There will also be smaller time slots for other activities. All of the details will be posted on this site and announced in our Facebook group “West Coast Michael Gathering” as soon as we know them.

There will also be plenty of less structured time available for socializing, networking, and private sessions. One principle of the Michael Gatherings is that we (Michael students) are nearly all members of a few soul groups of several thousand essences and many of us have common past life history and connections. As older souls we have mainly cleared our karmas with our soul group associates, so meeting them is likely to feel like a pleasant reunion. We urge people to sit with different people at the meals and generally to try to have a good conversation with as many as possible of the people you don’t already know well. You might well meet someone or multiple someones who turn out to become important work or professional partners or close friends. These people in turn connect with other kindred spirits. In the long run we hope to see many of our far-flung buddies reconnect into the network for mutual fun and support.
