Ananda is the current president of SPSR – the Society for Planetary SETI Research. He has been a long-time UFO researcher and author, broadcaster, lecturer and educator in the field of computing. He describes his dramatic daytime sighting of three flying discs in his recently published book Massive Vimana (UFO) Over The Atomic Weapons Establishment – A Challenge For Parliament. He is known for his simple elucidation on complex subjects and is a patient respondent to questions. Born in Sri Lanka, Ananda is familiar with the philosophies of the Eastern religions and has an interest in all the mysteries of the world. He has appeared on British TV and radio programmes and has lectured around the globe. Ananda understands that the world is on the brink of a new “thought renaissance”, as the discovery of thousands of exo-planets will prove to humanity that we have never been alone in the galaxy. We will have to “end our childhood” in order to join the “galactic federations” – one day.

Presentation: Photographic Evidence for Mysteries on the Moon and Mars

Two recent scientific papers published in The Journal of Space Exploration describe and analyse data from NASA which show as yet unresolved mysteries. Ananda will show these photographs and explain the profound implications of their reality in very simple English, not obtruse technical language. Recent photos of our moon, taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), show what appears to be the remnants of an alien base on the far side. The ‘Mound Configuration on Mars’ has now been reconfirmed both by NASA and ESA space probes. It is a layout on the surface of Mars made by ‘mounds’ similar in size, or larger than, the Giza pyramids. The mathematics behind this layout indicate sophisticated knowledge of a three-sided pyramid: the regular tetrahedron. How ancient are these artifacts and who placed them with such precision? An indigenous civilisation on Mars? Or an extra-solar race of galactic travellers..? Ananda will also speak about the Aetherius Society and its origins.

Presentation: Walking With Horses – The Path to Grounded Spirituality

Natasha will talk about how her journey with horses and Equine Facilitated Learning allowed her to reconnect with her spiritual nature in a whole new way, bringing her spiritual self into her body. She will share how horses embody emotional intelligence and teach us to listen to the wisdom of our bodies and how they respond to our energy fields and hearts, guiding us to be our whole selves, truly aligned and present in the moment. Horses and EFL were Natasha’s guide to her holistic healing method, combining energy healing with channelled light language, songs and codes. Both these methods of supporting people form, together, a unique and powerful pathway for self-development and self-empowerment.

Presentation: Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Freedom

In a brisk Question Time-like format, Andy Thomas leads a panel discussion between five guests, some speakers from the weekend and others making a special appearance for the Forum. This is the audience’s chance to ask questions from the floor to inspire some helpful and fascinating thoughts from the panel on matters arising from the weekend’s subjects and any – and many – topics beyond. The Forum is often a highlight of the weekend for many attendees and sparks lively and illuminating debates.

Jemma Cooper is a former newspaper and BBC television journalist, producer and presenter with more than 25 years’ experience in the mainstream media. In 2021 she decided to leave the corporation after some of her BBC colleagues leaked stories to the tabloid press about her attendance at anti-lockdown rallies in her personal, private time. She then worked for almost a year as senior producer in news and current affairs at the alternative online TV subscription channel Ickonic. Jemma has a deep interest in alternative, metaphysical and esoteric subjects and is a long-time attendee of the Glastonbury Symposium. She believes people in public life should be able to hold their own views without censure or pressure to conform to any dominant, prevailing narrative. Jemma was originally due to give this talk for the Symposium in 2022 and we are really pleased to be welcoming her back to give it this year instead.

Presentation: The Media and Truth

Having worked for both mainstream and alternative news, Jemma examines the ways information is presented as truth in both arenas, and the effect it has on the audiences they serve. She recounts how a dramatic spiritual awakening in 2011 changed her values and made her see her life, and career, in a very different way. She asks if news, in its current form, is what we need in these changing times, or if it needs to evolve to reflect a growing spiritual awakening happening across the planet. She also compares her last months at the BBC to that of other public figures around the world over the last three years. Many have found themselves removed from positions or had their views suppressed by a mainstream media that seems increasingly one-sided in what it believes is acceptable. This is something that must be challenged if freedom of expression, and the ability to communicate effectively and healthily with each other, is to survive.

Dr Sam Osmanagich is a scientist, megalithic and pyramid sites researcher, an internationally acclaimed speaker and the author of 18 books, translated into 17 languages. He discovered the Bosnian Pyramids – which consist of six colossal pyramid structures and a huge network of prehistorical underground tunnels – near the town of Visoko in central Bosnia-Herzegovina. He has been Principal Investigator of the project from 2005 to the present and it has now become the most active archaeological site in the world. Dr Osmanagichholds a Ph.D. in Mayan pyramids and is also an Anthropology Professor, member of the Archaeological Society of Alexandria and foreign member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences and the Moscow and Croatian Academy of Sciences and Art in Diaspora, Basel. He was twice proclaimed ‘The Man of the Year’ in Bosnia-Herzegovina (2007 and 2021).

As it is a fantastic opportunity and a privilege to have Dr Osmanagich come over to England for us from Bosnia, he will be presenting two consecutive lectures at the Symposium this year (see below), with a short break between them:

Presentation 1: Pyramids as Ancient Technological Devices on Six Continents

Dr Osmanagich says: “We have been programmed firstly to think that pyramids were built only in Egypt and Mexico and secondly that Egyptian pyramids served as tombs for the pharaohs. Instead, pyramids were built on all six continents, much deeper in the past, and the oldest and most superior pyramids were used as energy amplifiers.”

Presentation 2: The Healing Energy of the Bosnian Pyramid Complex

Dr Osmanagich says: “The complex of six pyramids in central Bosnia-Herzegovina, followed by its most extensive prehistorical underground tunnel network, is a huge energy machine. Systematic 18-year scientific and archaeological research has proven that different forms of energy were used for long-distance communication, health protection, food and water molecular structure improvement, advancement of immunity and spiritual abilities, and the improvement of auric field and chakra systems.”

Colin is a dedicated UFO researcher of some 30-plus years. He has a particular interest in UFO crash retrievals, aliens and the crop circle phenomenon.

Presentation: The Art of Plant Spirit Psychic Surgery

The mind, the body and the bioenergetic field are all one: what affects one affects both of the others. Over lifetimes, traumas and karmas form the basis for toxic layering, attachments and damage to the energy field resulting in both false thoughts and dis-ease. Specialising in entity removal, Emma will discuss how working with the Devic spirit – the conscious intelligence of plants – toxicities can be released or re-patterned, creating a methodology of preventative, psychospiritual and physical healing. She will also discuss how performing this psychic surgery remotely has far more effective results.

For nearly 30 years Torbz has pursued careers in music and performing arts, web and graphic design as well as previously being a community music leader, often centred around politically-inspired themes or those of more a personal inflection. Torbz is a fighter for freedom of speech and has strong views on sovereignty, law and the degradation of Western morals and ethics. Torbz has spent many years involved in various forms of research and activism, oriented to examining historical occult and present day trends and cultural systems. Since 2020, his focus has been on fullying understanding and sharing the hidden context of modern existence in the UK and wider world today.

Presentation: Sovereignty, Legal Fictions and ‘Mass Slave Mind’ Indoctrination

Torbz says: “I have always been a pro-peace activist since I can remember and ran a media archive in the late 1990s, called PeaceUK.net, to highlight and record evidence of the plight of the Iraqi children affected by sanctions and the UN interventions in eastern Europe. I was involved with organising when, in 2009, I met ‘freeman’ John Harris, who alluded to the ‘legal fiction’ and the game we have been playing as citizens for generations. Realising that our consensus reality is collaboratively constructed, largely by vested interests, I have studied, experimented with and researched topics surrounding the mechanisms of our modern culture and have always sought to find a more truthful understanding of how the world works and, by reflection, how we as people respond to the world, which I will share in this presentation.”

Ian has had 30 years’ experience of IT work and 25 of Body Therapy. From 2011, Ian has volunteered for several months each year in a clinic in Bhopal, India with the survivors and children of the 1984 chemical leak disaster. His first book, 3 Months in Bhopal is available on Amazon. Since retiring in 2000, one of his focuses has been the rise and rise of RFR (radiofrequency radiation) and associated ‘devices’ both industrial and domestic. He got his first mobile internet in 2004 when living on a canal boat; it was like a memory stick and gave 250kb data per month, compared to what is now unlimited. With his Body Therapy hat, knowing this was not good for humanity – or for plants and animals – he started giving presentations some years ago, to a “deaf” audience. Noticing the acceleration of 5G during lockdown, without significant consultation or testing, he has upped his game to resist the growth of land-based communications structures. Ian says: “I will not risk existence for a faster video download!”

Presentation: 5G and the ‘Smart’ City

Ian says: “What does 5G have to do with the Smart City agenda, you ask? Answer: Everything! Radiofrequency radiation = 2G→3G→4G→5G→5G RAN (Radio Access Networks)→6GInternet→Open-RAN→??? Coming soon: AI and Robots; the Metaverse and VR; LEDs and street hubs; RFIDs for people. Whether you think it sounds like heaven or hell you should know about it. Shouldn’t we have been asked? And asked in an open, transparent and honest way? Fully informed consent anyone? I will attempt to give you the briefest of glances into where we were; where we are, where we might be headed and what we can do. We are deliberately radiating the entire world and our atmosphere – that is what ‘wi–fi’ is; not a by-product, it IS the product.”

Bart is an established international UFO/UAP investigator, lecturer and author of the book UFOs Officieel Erkend (UFOs Officially Acknowledged). He studied Visual Arts at the Sint-Lucas School of Arts in Ghent (Belgium) and is a certified Life Coach. Due to a personal close encounter in 1984, an extensive study on UFOs followed. This resulted in the creation of an investigation team, the Belgian UFO Network (BUFON), and more than ten years of ‘boots on the ground’ investigation. Bart’s work is mainly focused on skywatch procedures, crop circle investigation (biophysical anomalies/laboratory analysis) and the study of the international UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) files. Bart’s ground-breaking work has culminated in the support of ex-officials, the USAF (Pentagon, USA), celebrated independent UAP investigators and Nick Pope, the retired MoD (UK) employee – ‘the real Fox Mulder’ – who wrote the foreword to Bart’s book.

Presentation: Preserving England – Freedom, Heritage and Eccentricity

Richard says: “Those who have seen my YouTube videos will know that I am on a mission to give voice to sidelined issues and people in this great country who challenge enforced orthodoxies and stand up for free expression in several important areas but who are not heard out in the mainstream. I fell in love with this country, its landscape, history, culture and nature when a small lad playing over the abandoned fields of a deserted Sussex farm at the back of my edge-of-town modern 1960s house. Picking up old clay pipes with curious carved bowls and digging up Victorian bottles with peculiar glass stoppers or with marbles in the neck enthused me. One day, a film crew visited the farm, shooting a crazy stunt promotion movie, setting old barns alight and sending plain-clothes policemen clambering across dangerous poorly tiled cowshed rooftops with fake guns and explosions. I was hooked, and became a film maker. My talk follows a little of my path to YouTube,  exploring England and Englishness and tracking the panic and tragedy of our loss of confidence in our country’s history, nation and even ourselves, as I have drilled down, in more recent times, to the fear and scams of a pandemic in which our government has treated us with huge disrespect.”
