Sat 1:30pm (45min Workshop): Cultivating More Love in Your Life with Mel Thompson

What is love?
We’ve been taught to think of love as something we find, something we fall into, or something another person gives us. We chase it in romantic relationships, friendships, family, purpose, and even our spiritual lives—often believing it exists just beyond our reach.

But what if love isn’t something we’re meant to search for?
What if love is a way of being?

In this experiential workshop, we’ll explore our personal beliefs and experiences surrounding love, examine the stories we’ve inherited, and reconnect with love as a living spiritual force rather than simply an emotion.Through guided meditation, heartfelt discussion, and self-reflection, you’ll be invited to deepen your relationship with yourself, expand your capacity to give and receive love, and recognize the many ways love is already present in your life.

Whether you’re seeking greater self-love, deeper relationships, healing from loss, or a stronger connection with the Divine, this workshop offers a compassionate space to remember that love is not scarce—it is our natural state.
Come with an open heart, a curious mind, and a willingness to discover that the love you’ve been searching for may have been waiting within you all along.

Sun 2:00pm (45min Workshop): Life, What’s It All About? with Mel Thompson

Through her connection with spirit and years of lived experience, Mel explores a deceptively simple question: What is the point of all this living?

In this workshop, she shares the insight that life is not about perfection, success, or having everything figured out—but about the experiences we live through each day. From ordinary mornings to life-altering moments, our responses to these experiences—whether through courage, curiosity, fear, or resilience—reveal who we are. This process presents us with a powerful choice: to accept that it is our duty to love oneself simply because you exist—a lesson life will keep placing before us. From that foundation of sovereign love of self, our ability to love others naturally expands.

Blending spiritual insight and personal storytelling, Mel shares reflections from her writing, readings, and podcasting—real moments where life’s experiences revealed unexpected truths about love, courage, and self-discovery, guided by her signature FAAFO (“f*ck around and find out”) philosophy of living. Through these stories, she invites the audience to recognize themselves in the journey and explore how what we uncover through experience can guide us toward a more enthralling and fulfilling life.

Sat 2:00pm (45min Workshop): What Your Spirit Council Wants You to Know! with Andrea Underwood and Lindsey Hulme

Synopsis:
In this experiential workshop, professional Spirit Council Mediums Andrea & Lindsey of Lindrea Co. guide you into understanding the unseen support system assigned to your soul in this lifetime.

You’ll learn what a Spirit Council actually is, how you have more than spirit guides or ancestors supporting you, and most importantly — the unexpected ways they’ve likely been communicating with you every single day. From repeating patterns and sudden redirections… you may discover you’ve been guided more than you realize.

The session includes a short grounding meditation where you’ll ask your own Spirit Council one clear question and learn how to recognize the answer.

This workshop is designed to help you build trust in your own guidance and walk away seeing your life through a very different lens.

Sat 2:30pm (45min Workshop): You Are Not Broken: The Fire That Frees You with Mel Thompson

How many times have you looked at your life and thought, “What is wrong with me?”
The truth is — nothing. The discomfort you feel isn’t here to punish or shame you; it’s here to initiate you. In this talk, Mel of In-Lightened Spirit invites you into a powerful moment of luminous reckoning with pain, grief, and chaos — revealing how our hardest experiences can become catalysts for awakening, courage, and radical self-trust. Through humor, story, and spirit, she reminds us that the fire we fear is often the very force that frees us.

Join me in exploring ways to assist you in conquering fear and worry so that you may experience more love and peace. The Way of Mastery and A Course in Miracles states that we either live in love or fear. Which do you choose? A meditation will be offered as well.
