Veda Austin

Veda is a water researcher, public speaker, mother, artist  and author. She has dedicated the last 14 years observing and photographing the life of water. She believes that water is fluid intelligence, observing itself through every living organism on the planet and in the Universe. 

Her primary area of focus is photographing water in its ‘state of creation’, the space between liquid and ice. It is through her remarkable crystallographic photos that water reveals its awareness of not only Creation, but thought and intention through imagery. 

Veda brings a message of hope and joy from the very source of life itself, she says “Water is transparent, it knows no colour, creed or religion. Water does not judge, nor does it label, it will enter the body of an ant as easily as it will enter the body of a king, or a homeless person or a tree or a dragonfly. Water is our constant companion, from the moment we are conceived it is always with us…even upon death, it is water that evaporates from the physical rising upwards into the Heavens. 

Veda sees water as Source rather than a resource, and considers all bodies of water to be sacred. Her passion for water extends out of the freezer and into primary schools where she donates time teaching water science and cleverly intertwines it with art projects. She loves to reconnect children to the living water systems inside and outside of their bodies, believing that the ‘tamariki’ (children) are the water bearers of the future. She also spends a lot of time doing interviews and podcasts where she shares her findings and inspiring perspectives.

Chris Bledsoe

Chris Bledsoe, a deeply religious family man and successful business owner from North Carolina was on the verge of the unthinkable after losing everything in the 2007 financial crisis and suffering from a debilitating chronic disease. Fishing along the banks of the Cape Fear River with three co-workers and his teenage son, he walks away from the group and cries out to God in a desperate prayer for help. Suddenly, a UFO appears and saves his life and cures him of his illness. Experiencing four hours of missing time, he returns to his group to find them dismayed. Terrified, they run for their lives as several UFOs chase them home. This is the true story of hope, love, lies and deception, involving officials from the U.S. Government, CIA, NASA, a string of professors, and MUFON.

Dalia Burgoin

Dalia Burgoin is an energy arts practitioner, author, and trainer specializing in awakening humanity’s natural intuitive abilities. She teaches a yin-style bioenergy system that supports healing and expands innate capacities such as telepathy and extraocular vision — also known as Mindsight.

Her groundbreaking work has been featured on Good Morning Utah (ABC), FOX 13 Good Day Utah, and This Is the Place Utah. She collaborates with leading consciousness researchers including Alex Gómez-Marin (Pari Center), John Chavez (DMT Quest), and Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell (The Telepathy Tapes). She is also in active discussions with the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) to expand research partnerships.

Dalia is also happily married and a devoted mother of four. Central to her mission is her daughter, Liduvina (Lidu). Though diagnosed with severe autism and nonspeaking, Lidu has demonstrated profound telepathic abilities and is steadily gaining speech and motor skills through innovative communication methods. Together, they participate in pioneering studies at Stanford and beyond, and their story is featured in upcoming documentaries and collaborations with Gaia.

Through teaching, research, and public demonstrations, Dalia is reshaping how we understand perception, consciousness, and human connection. Her mission is simple yet profound: to make Mindsight accessible worldwide, helping humanity remember its deepest potential.

Dalia warmly invites you to explore your hidden senses and co-create a future where deeper connection is not only possible, but extraordinarily natural.

Alex Stefan

Alexander Stefan began exploring the extraordinary when he was eleven. What started as curiosity became a lifelong voyage into psychic abilities, energy work, and the deep mind through hypnosis and NLP.

Alex grew up in Canada, then made his way through the UK and Australia. Along the way he was lucky to train under extraordinary mentors and eventually held trainings of his own. Psychokinesis, mindsight, manifestation, healing, hypnosis, and the shaping of the mind through NLP became the instruments of that voyage.

Alex’s work is not theory. It is a practice that brings people into direct contact with abilities once thought to exist only in fiction.

During his apprenticeship as a trainer, he learned to understand how transformation truly takes root. He learned to model a skill, design a path so that it transfers cleanly, and use hypnosis to help it settle deep within. That is why the pace in his rooms is different. In larger crews the current moves faster still. He has seen abilities rise in five days that others chase for years without ever touching.

He is currently gathering a community of explorers who feel the same call to step into these practices, share discoveries, and build something greater than any one of them. That work is taking shape at Extra-Ordinaries.

Whitley Strieber

Whitley Strieber is the best-selling author of over forty works of both fiction and nonfiction.

His memoir Communion (1987) ignited global conversation about close encounters. When he eventually realized that the experience could not be attributed to known factors, he began making an effort to recontact what he calls “the visitors.” His relationship to “them” has been ongoing for the past thirty years, and has been chronicled in additional books such as “Transformation”, “Majestic”, and “A New World”.

His website, unknowncountry.com, is among the largest in the world dealing with paranormal phenomena and his podcast, Dreamland, has been produced weekly for twenty years.

Dr. Saskia von Diest

Saskia Von Diest is the founder of Ecofluency, as well as an award-winning consultant, facilitator, educator, and activist in the field of Nature communication.

She believes Nature communication is a critical skill for future resilience, and a fundamental and vital resource for harmonious relationship with all life.

Her most life-changing experience was attending an animal communication workshop during her PhD (in Plant Pathology) in 2012. This sparked her interest in how farmers use intuitive communication with Nature to inform practical management decisions.

After completing her PhD, Saskia held two collaborative postdoctoral fellowships with Stellenbosch University, South Africa, and with Coventry University, UK, from 2014-2020, thanks to the support and encouragement of various innovation-minded mentors and supervisors.

Through these fellowships, she investigated quantum-based or subtle agricultural techniques and technologies that use sound, electromagnetics, catalytic substances and human intuitive abilities in farm management decision making.

During and after her postdoctoral years, she also further developed her own understanding and practice in communicating with trees, animals, land, nature spirits and ancestors. She trained as a Family Constellations facilitator, and has taken numerous trainings to do energy field clearings for humans, animals, buildings and landscapes.

In 2021, Saskia officially launched Ecofluency, to promote the science, art and practical magic of Nature communication worldwide. Her greatest passion is creating opportunities for others to have their own experience of dialogue with more-than-human Nature.

Ecofluency offers Consultations with Nature for individuals, groups and organisations, and teaches others to communicate with more-than-human Nature in person and online through events, courses and workshops.

She offers Energy Field Clearings for people, animals and land, which remove the blockages to full healing and spiritual development, and bring greater clarity and communication in our relationships with ourselves and the rest of Nature.

Part of her work and passion is also supporting other human voices in this critical field, some of whom are featured through Ecofluency. Ecofluency also runs some self-driven campaigns to help raise funds and awareness for projects aligned with her Vision and Mission.

Saskia is a director of the Organisation for Noetic Ecology, which helps to re-imagine the human relationship with the rest of Nature through connective experiences. And as a founding member of Nature’s Council, she helps bring the voice of more-than-human Nature to the table as a stakeholder in decision-making processes, from conservation projects to policy making, like the Rights of Nature movement.

She has 15 years of experience in teaching and facilitating in various forms, and presenting her work in various ways on numerous international platforms.

With Ecofluency, her aim is to support people and organisations in reclaiming these ancestral skills, for individual and collective transformation.
