SAMANTHA TREASURE (SOUTH KOREA)

Out-of-Body Experiences, Dreams, and Eastern Shamanism: An Anthropological Perspective on Conscious Journeying  PLUS  Navigating the Invisible: A Practical Guide to Conscious Journeying

Step into the extraordinary! Through immersive imagery, film, and first-hand accounts, this presentation journeys through the science and anthropology of out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and dreams, with a focus on Japan, Korea, and the traditions of Eastern shamanism.

In the first half of this talk, we will dive into the science and mystery of these expanded states of consciousness: what triggers them, what intriguing features they include, and what this reveals about perception, embodiment, and the untapped capacities of the mind. The second half will bring the human stories to life, inviting the audience to reflect on their transformative effects on healing, relationships with spirits and other people, and the wider search for meaning. The presentation will close by looking to the future, where OBEs and dreams are evolving through new generations, new technologies, and new ways of being in the world.

 

Workshop: Navigating the Invisible: A Practical Guide to Conscious Journeying

In this hands-on session, you will be guided through safe, science-informed techniques to consciously enter the out-of-body state. We’ll begin with a brief grounding discussion summarising the science behind why these techniques work, before moving on to the practice with relaxation, breath, visualisation, and awareness techniques, followed by a guided meditation, all designed to strengthen the skills needed to induce and navigate this state. Afterward, participants will be invited to share their experiences, insights and questions. We’ll finish with simple, daily ways to maintain these abilities and integrate any experiences that arise. The emphasis is on curiosity and expansion rather than dogma, offering a peaceful, inspiring space to explore and connect in ways that are personally meaningful to participants.​

Samantha Lee Treasure is an anthropologist and author specialising in the study of out-of-body experiences (OBEs), conducting fieldwork in the UK, South Korea, and Siberia. She holds an MA in Medical Anthropology from SOAS University of London, and serves as a volunteer research affiliate at the University of Virginia’s Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS), where she is collaborating on a pioneering study on OBEs.

Samantha is the author of Out-of-Body Experiences: Explorations and encounters with the Astral Plane (2025) and the forthcoming Cyborg Phantoms (2026), which examines how media and technology are reshaping non-ordinary experiences. She has spoken on OBEs since 2013 in the UK, Japan, and other countries, and is committed to bringing grounded, ethical, and accessible research to a wider audience, destigmatising this phenomenon while bridging cultural research, science, and experiencer accounts. She divides her time between London and Geoje Island, South Korea.

PETER MALONEY (AUSTRALIA)
The Enneagram, Nine Archetypes of Consciousness and the Path of Self-Remembering

The Enneagram is an ancient map of consciousness that describes nine archetypal ways the soul learns to experience itself in the world. With origins linked to early Sufi mystical traditions, it was originally used as a sacred teaching to support self-observation, inner awakening and the remembrance of one’s true nature. Each archetype represents a particular lens through which we perceive reality, shaped by early imprints around safety, love and belonging. These patterns are not flaws, they are intelligent adaptations that once served us, yet can quietly limit our freedom when they remain unconscious.

In this workshop, Peter will guide you through the Enneagram as a living, energetic system rather than a personality model. You’ll be invited to recognise your dominant archetypal pattern through reflection and felt sense, and to explore how it influences your relationships, emotional responses and sense of purpose. You’ll also explore the Enneagram’s Levels of Consciousness, which reveal how each archetype can express itself in healthy, reactive, or destructive ways depending on our level of awareness. Understanding these levels helps you recognise when your patterns are running unconsciously and when you are operating from clarity and choice.

You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of your core patterns, greater compassion for yourself and others, and a practical map for growth and integration. You’ll understand how your archetype expands when aligned and contracts under stress, giving you a simple, usable framework for navigating challenge with maturity and presence.

Peter Maloney is a guide for those navigating the space between current reality and their dreams, where expanded consciousness meets lived human experience. For over two decades, he has supported people to awaken to their higher self, trust their intuitive intelligence and consciously participate in the creation of a life aligned with soul, purpose and truth. His work recognises grief, loss and life disruption as sacred initiations, gateways through which deeper awareness, compassion and self-remembering can emerge. Through his work with adults and children who have lost a parent, Peter has witnessed how presence, imagination and inner listening can transform suffering into meaning and reconnect people with joy beyond circumstance.

 

A long-term facilitator of The Magician’s Way intuitive modalities, Peter guides participants in working with imagination as a living field of consciousness, a bridge between vision and manifestation. His teachings explore inner alchemy, conscious choice and the art of staying with the fertile tension between what is and what is becoming, allowing creation to arise through coherence rather than force.

Peter also works within correctional services, where he supports inmates to reconnect with their true nature beyond identity, history or label. His work invites a remembering of inherent worth, sovereignty and the capacity to choose a different future, grounded in awareness rather than past conditioning. Known for his grounded presence, cheeky humour and determined depth, Peter brings expanded states of awareness into the body, the nervous system and everyday life. His work supports the stabilisation of consciousness, helping insight become embodied wisdom and lived truth.

After spending a decade in the UK, Peter returned to his hometown of Sydney to care for his father in the final stage of life. His father’s passing marked a profound inner turning point, opening layers of awakening, healing and remembrance that continue to shape his soul-led work today.

TRACEY ASH (EGYPT/JAPAN)

Weaving Soul Maps and Memories of Incarnation, Ancient Gateways, and Goddess and Gods of Japan

Forgotten myths and legends are woven into far away ancient gateways on our beloved planet. These stories serve as the dreaming that fortifies us to remember, to heal, and live. Our journey to and in Japan is unique. Much more than conventional travel. Each destination animates as a dreaming that transforms and awakens the legacy of your soul. Each ancient gateway opening portals and oceans of memory. Truly profound invitations of soul bring the rarest initiations. This deep soul excavation is a key to remembering and returning to timelines.

 

We fly into memories of soul libraries. The journey is set to travel into temples, shrines, histories, and stories of ancient Japan. An inner journey where gold is what every seeker dreams of. Travelling in the footsteps of history assists us in evolving as compassionate and capable souls. This program explores wound weaving and difficult karmic resolution, unveiling the quantum field, new consciousness and new realities. Weaving soul maps and memories of incarnation, ancient myths, ancient gateways, and of course ancient goddesses and gods of Japan. Soul is your primary axis for time travel alchemised by ancient stories and ancient sites. Contact with Intelligence is possible, time is finally healed, and greater, change influenced. You learn from a time-keeper, mystic, and spiritual visionary how you can influence collective evolution and world peace.  

Tracey's work will be presented in two parts - a presentation and an experiential workshop.

KERRIE ERWIN (AUSTRALIA)

Recognising Superpowers Within – And How to Call on Divine, Universal Energy

Every one of us carries a natural 'superpower' within, an inner knowing, a gut instinct, a quiet voice that guides us, protects us and often tries to steer us long before the mind catches up. In this powerful session, Kerrie Erwin opens the doorway to Higher Realms Consciousness, helping you understand and trust your intuitive abilities while connecting with your higher self, spirit guides and angelic support systems.

 

The trouble is most of us have no idea what it is or understand it for that matter. Energy is a funny thing. We all feel things but often can’t quite explain exactly what it is or where it comes from. When you think about it, how many times have the alarm bells gone off, like a warning when something doesn’t feel right and instead of listening to the warnings, we carry on and end up in chaos or some type of unnecessary drama. Even the biggest sceptics in the world can admit to this.

 

An example of this is when meeting people for the first time, or being in a situation that does not feel right. We sense the red flags which are often right in our face, but we ignore it, only to suffer the consequences later on. That feeling I’m talking about is energetically picked up in the solar plexus chakra, the energy centre just below our belly button. We all have our own built human radar, called the ‘Higher Self’, which helps us navigate through the many highs and lows throughout our lives. This, to be explained very simply is our ‘ultimate self ‘which is associated with the ‘soul energy’ we carry from lifetime to lifetime, with past lives and future lives. Soul energy is the concept of a vital, non-psychical force that animates living beings, embodying their essence, identity and consciousness. It is part of our super-power, inner strength and life force which drives us to seek meaning and to give us insight and great wisdom.

 

As it is aligned with our core values and linked to the higher consciousness with purpose, it allows us to gain clarity and direction, allowing us to make important decisions that are true to our soul being in our everyday life. Some of us have degrees of being psychic as well. This is to have perceived abilities beyond the normal human senses, such as extrasensory perception (ESP) which includes telepathy and clairvoyance, such as seeing the future. This will also give you the ability to read auras, remote viewing, reading energy and a whole range of intuitive abilities, which includes past, present and future predictions. The good thing is, the Universe always gives us the choice to develop these gifts, as we have free will. If we do decide to walk the path and dedicate ourselves to work for spirit, we will generally work with a spirit team, be open to far better realities, and be given insightful and in inspiring insights, into situations all around you.

 

Besides our own Super powers within, we also have easy access to Sacred and Divine Universal energy, that is free and all around us. This energy comprises of:

 

  • Majestic Angels - saintly, heavenly beings of pure unconditional love and light, otherworldly divine messengers from Almighty spirit, that can be called up, whenever needed as they are here for service for mankind. All you have to do, is to remember is to thank them afterwards, for their intervention. These celestial beings, have never lived on earth and the highest type of spiritual energy in the universe as they come with pure, unconditional love in its purest form. Angels have been around from the beginning of time and are here solely to help support us on our journey in life and all our spiritual lessons. How blessed are we to know, Angels are our eternal companions, like our spiritual guides and can be called on anytime, no big or small the problem. When Angles are present, you may smell the sweet smell of perfumed flowers, feel the divine, powerful light, or experience a type of ‘knowing’ they hear you and are with you, as some of us may experience with goosebumps or chills, that come out of nowhere.

 

  • Master Energy - ancient mysteries and sacred energies have been around for a very long time, throughout the ages. They are highly vibrational, purified states of consciousness, often characterized by unconditional love, profound peace that can bring balance and calm into our lives, as we see life in another way. It is so easy to just tap in to for assistance and ask for guidance and anytime, with meditation and prayer. Master energy facilitates miraculous assistance that can assist us in our daily lives as they give us insight to all our problems and decisions we have to make

 

  • Elemental Nature Spirits - the elementals, an enchanting world of folktale and fantasy. These delightful beings have been around since the beginning of time, are real and intelligent beings and they act in service as the guardians of the earth. They are gifts from mother earth, or Gaia, that reside in the natural elements and ether of our living world. They consist of Earth, Water, Fire and Air or Space, that surround us in the nature. These elements symbolize grounding, flow, transformation, intellect and consciousness providing a balance and healing for us in our busy lives. They are the fundamental forces representing the building blocks of the physical world and human experience.
