Will December 21, 2012 mark the end of the world, or the beginning of a new age of enlightenment? As we move closer to the date, interest in this date grows strong, with many books and videos exploring the possibilities. 2012 enthusiasts may supplement their knowledge of this coming event at an upcoming conference to be held at the Association For Research and Enlightenment.
"2012: Mayan Date of Destiny" explores all the myths and facts of December 21, 2012, the last date on the ancient Mayan calendar. This three-day conference will be held from July 18 - 20, 2008 at the A.R.E. Visitors Center in Virginia Beach. The Association For Research and Enlightenment, founded in 1931 by Edgar Cayce, serves to educate people on various transpersonal topics, including ancient prophecy, dream interpretation, psychic development, and reincarnation.
Scholars and theorists alike have argued the significance of the 2012 date. Whether 12/21/12 signifies the end of the world or the beginning of a new one, it is agreed the date holds some significance in global society. This conference intends to touch upon the history of the Mayan calendar and the ancient civilization's relationship to our society, as well as how recent developments in climate change (earthquakes, tsunamis, global warming), may have an effect on this coming day.
Guest speakers at this conference include bestselling author Whitley Strieber, 2012 experts Adrian Gilbert and Geoff Stray, television host Mitch Battros, and Mayan elder Don Carlos Barrios. Continuing education credit hours are available for attending this conference. Registration fees begin at $425 and include access to all programs on an extra schedule. For an added fee, participants may experience a post-conference Mayan Sacred Fire Ceremony led by Don Carlos Barrios.
