'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CONTACT

Drawing from his own extraordinary experiences, Chris will share how focused prayer and pure-hearted intention can open pathways to divine connection, healing, and profound synchronicity. Through his teachings, participants will learn how to aling their inner energy with universal forces, inviting miracles, guidance and transformation into their lives. This is more than a lesson - its an invitation to step into sacred comminication with the divine.

DAY 3: Ancient Ritual and Magick
Artur will offer an immersive journey into the practice of ritual and magick, teaching participants how to experience these powerful traditions firsthand. Through guided ceremonies and hands on exercies, attendees will learn to harness sacred tools, call upon elemental forces, and craft rituals that create real shifts in energy and consciousness. Rather than simply stuying these ancient arts, you will step direclty into them - feeling the presence of the unseen, aligning with natural currents, and awakening your own inner magician. This is not just a lesson, its a living experience of ancient magick brought to life.
Day 3: A Kundalini Journey
Kimberly takes us on a Kundalini journey into universal love and higher consciousness. This practice will activate the heart center - anahata chakra - and expand awareness beyond the personal, opening us up to intergalactic consciousness and the infinite love of the cosmos. Through conscious breathing, movement, mantra, and deep meditation, we will align with the vibration of universal love and our connection to celestial energies. Join us for an engaging practice, wear comfortable clothes and bring a rug or mat.
Our gathering also includes other Consciousness enhancing technologies....
Xhale/Xstatic/Xperience - An immersive breathwork experience like no other! Join us for a multisensory evening of sound, lights, breath and movement to get your heart pumping, clear any blockages and fill you with CHILD-LIKE JOY! (when was the last time you felt that feeling??) No experience necessary! Ecstatic breathwork and motion can: Relieve pain & tension, Reduce anxiety, plus Heal, Release and Restore aspects of ourselves that are impacted by traumatic events. Additionally, this type of activity both activates and potentiates DMT (dimethyl terephthalate) production in the brain which can be attributed to deep emotional and spiritual experiences. Using breathwork allows us to access DMT cultivated from within (without ingesting anything foreign). Just as psychedelics have been shown to improve addiction, anxiety, and depression, so too has breathwork. It could be argued that working with DMT produced from breathwork (as opposed to psychedelics) is a safer alternative. The XXX Immersive Breathwork Journey will be led by Debz Shakti, who is a certified breathwork facilitator.

Meet our Xpansion Team
CONTACT Modalities EVENTS was founded on the premise of service to others. A mission that has grown and developed over many years. We are called to raise the collective consciousness in an effort to save humanity, our Mother Gaia and all of Her inhabitants. The Xpansion Team believes there are various modalities to connect to the Divine creator. Each way resonates with a person in a different way. We are here to help you Xpand and all humans are welcome, regardless of religion, race, sex or gender.
Mel Apis Astra
Aka "Honey Bee Star" is honored to be your Hostess with the Mostest. Mel's motto for this incarnation is to "serve others and have a great time doing it!". For most of her adult life, Mel has enjoyed a dynamic career in media and business, but after her awakening in 2016, her passion became helping people to discover the divinity within themselves and service to others. For decades she juggled family and career, while trying to squeeze in volunteer efforts for issues that strongly resonate with her, such as homeless animals, humans in hospice, and displaced refugees. Soon after her spontaneous awakening, it became abundantly clear that it was time to fully integrate her calling of service to others and spiritual growth into her daily life, and this retreat was born. Her journey began with the study of CE-5/Contact work, but soon expanded to the power of the breath, energy manipulation, sacred plant medicines, mediumship, ritual, ceremony, magick and much more. It didn't take long to realize that ALL of these modalities are a direct blessing from Source, a beautiful gift to ALL of humanity, and are key to saving our species and planet. She considers it her sacred honor and duty to create a most loving, compassionate container for these blessings to be received by all who seek it. In 2021, Mel was invited to appear in the award winning documentary "Alien Abduction: Answers" which was filmed at the retreat property. In 2025 Mel was inspired to bring this work to the big stage, so hundreds of midwesterners could connect with this wisdom and CONTACT Modalities XPO in Delavan was launched. Mel is a doting wife, the mommy of 3 little humans, 2 kitties and a pooch.
