Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode Ep 194: The Biofield & The Internet of Psyops with Chris Crutchfield

Chris Crutchfield joins Alec for a conversation on the overlap between the human biofield, technology, and coordinated psychological operations in the modern era.

With a background in Hollywood visual effects and high-level media work, Chris brings technical and cultural insight into how perception is shaped. This discussion covers the ways compressed digital content, AI, and coordinated influence campaigns create what he calls a “post-truth” world.

Chris is a filmmaker, artist, and truth-seeker whose career has spanned Hollywood VFX and global media campaigns, including projects with Google, Lady Gaga, and the Super Bowl. Today, he uses his skills to examine systems of influence and explore the intersection of consciousness, technology, and sovereignty. He hosts the SixSeven Podcast.

Hakeem Anwar joins Alec for a conversation on the growing surveillance ecosystem and the path toward digital sovereignty.

A former health software engineer turned privacy advocate, Hakeem shares how a shocking data breach involving children’s Social Security numbers led him to create Above — a company designing privacy-first phones and laptops free from Big Tech dependencies.

Hakeem is a software engineer, technologist, and founder of Above, a conscious technology company focused on user privacy and empowerment. He also leads the #TakeBackOurTech initiative, offering free guides for switching to open-source and privacy-respecting tools.

Join us tomorrow at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 196: Blindfold Vision: Panel of Parents and Pioneers

Alec hosts a rare panel exploring “Mindsight”, a developing field of study examining perception beyond the five senses.

This discussion brings together researchers, educators, and parents who have witnessed children develop the ability to perceive and navigate while blindfolded, suggesting the human mind may process light and information through non-visual pathways.

The panel includes Dr. Anna Maria Oliva, Dr. Nick Egan, John Chavez, Dahlia Burgoin, and Paul & Jeanne Leschied, alongside insights from Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan, whose Luminous Kids program has become a touchpoint in the growing conversation about expanded human perception.

In episode 197, Kaylor Betts joins Alec for a conversation on dismantling society’s traps and reclaiming sovereignty over every area of life.
As the founder of Betts Nation, Kaylor has built a movement dedicated to health, wealth, and freedom outside mainstream systems. He shares how early experiences with illness, financial hardship, and conformity became catalysts for self-reliance and inner discipline. The discussion explores emotional mastery, entrepreneurship, masculine/feminine balance, and how to lead from personal truth instead of fear or social programming. Together, Alec and Kaylor unpack what it means to create authentic success while rejecting the narratives designed to keep people dependent and small.

🔥 What to Expect

Lectures on the 13 Sacred Nights Practice & Winterized Circadian Biology

Circadian Biology expert Danielle Hamilton will explore how the longer nights, cooler temperatures, and slower rhythm of winter naturally activate deep restoration and healing within the body. You’ll learn to align light, sleep, and nourishment with these seasonal cues to support metabolic balance, hormonal harmony, and coherence with the world around you.

Then, Lara Day will guide you through the ancient 13 Sacred Nights practice—an invitation to step into the stillness of winter as sacred space. Through reflection, journaling, and intention, you’ll discover how each of the 13 nights holds insight for the months ahead, weaving inner renewal with the cycles of nature.

Aleena Kanner joins Alec for a deep conversation exploring biomechanics, posture, breathing, and the interconnected systems that shape how our bodies function.

As a Certified Athletic Trainer and Postural Restoration Specialist, Aleena helps people heal by connecting the dots between movement, vision, dental alignment, and respiration. In this episode, she explains why traditional sports medicine and physical therapy often miss the root cause of pain — treating symptoms in isolation instead of understanding the full picture.

It’s wild reflecting on the journey we’ve been on with this beautiful festival.

At our first event, we barely sold 80 tickets. Afterwards, we seriously questioned whether we should even do another one. We almost didn’t.

Now, heading into our 4th edition in 2026, we’ve sold 80 tickets within the first 72 hours of a soft, past-attendee-only ticket launch.

It’s a powerful testament to the beautiful, transformative experience we’ve all co-created together. Confluence truly is a one-of-a-kind event.

Also… trust the process.

Hey family!

One point of clarification:

Our April 2026 event goes from Thursday the 23rd (check-in TBA, likely around noon) until Monday the 27th (check-out before noon).

Soon we’ll be launching separate tickets for early arrival (22nd) and post-event Integration (27th-28th).
