My Talk at the Vail Symposium

My Talk at the Vail Symposium

I had a wonderful opportunity this last week to speak in Avon, Colorado at the Vail Symposium.

For more than fifty years, the Vail Symposium has welcomed an extraordinary range of thinkers, leaders, and adventurers to this little mountain town — from Robert Redford and Tom Brokaw to Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to summit Everest, and the visionary educator Sir Ken Robinson. President Gerald Ford once used its stage to deliver a major policy address, and in more recent years climbers like Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell have shared the stories behind their seemingly impossible feats. To be invited to speak in that same tradition was a true honor — and more than a little humbling — a reminder of how many remarkable people have stood in that room to share ideas worth spreading.

I flew over Monday afternoon. It was a short trip but amazingly beautiful. I had never been to that area before, and it's absolutely gorgeous with lots of eye candy flying in.

I talked about energy healing, the Emotion Code, and the Heart-Wall, and had a few people come up on stage for demonstrations, which were the highlight of the talk, I think.

The presentation venue was a Presbyterian Church, a beautiful facility with amazing wooden beams (see pic). Of course, it was also simulcast on YouTube, and when the presentation gets posted on their YouTube channel, I will post it back here.

I want to thank Gary Gilman and Brian and Kevin with the Vail Symposium and everybody that helped to make that event happen. Thanks, you guys, for the great honor of being invited, for putting me up and also putting up with me, and I'd love to come and do it again sometime 😊
