Consider me a fellow seeker. I’m not an experiencer but more of an explorer.
Since 2009 I’ve hosted a monthly in-person meeting in my home city of St. Louis for people like your audience – regular folks who question the status quo and know the universe has deeper meanings.
It started out as fans of the radio program Coast to Coast AM, and spread to interested parties who may not listen to the show but follow the topics.
We get about 10 to 20 people each month, we have met in cafes, book stores and bowling alleys. We always have a topic and sometimes a speaker. Individual group members are encouraged to present on topics with which they are familiar or just willing to research and share.
I’ve met a lot of interesting people with a lot of different perspectives. Most of them haven’t written books – although a couple have. Most of them aren’t on any kind of speaking circuit but a few host or have been on podcasts. Most of them don’t research topics like extra terrestrials, spiritual awakenings, the paranormal, disinformation, holistic healing, cryptids, conspiracies, hidden economic agendas or unsolved mysteries as part of their job – but it’s their thing.
By organizing in-person meet-ups for people like this I have broadened my own perspective and developed spiritually. It’s the in-the-flesh interactions and exchange of ideas that are special to me. I’m not an expert in these fields but unofficially, after over ten years of spending time on these topics with regular people, I’m an expert on the search for the truth that many men and women find to be an important part of their lives – and where that search takes us.
I’m a skeptic among true believers, but a wacko among my usual friend group. That’s what moved me to seek out relationships with other people who have these interests, and honestly I find that they are few and far between.
The average person in our society is pretty happy with what they know and where life is taking them. It’s a rare individual who is willing to look deeper and also willing to share that experience and effort with other people – that’s where I come in...
I create safe places for our kind to assemble and share – without judgement or ridicule.
