Along with being Master of Ceremonies, Kim will present on Lao Russell. Fifteen years with Walter and twenty-five years without him, Lao’s life established a living legacy. Be reminded of who Lao was before her life intertwined with Walter and the power of her continued devotion for the years to the message after he refolded. She gave us a blueprint of a what a powerful woman looked like while remaining anchored in the beautiful messages of philosophy, light and love. Be reminded of the timeless wisdom Lao offers for life today.
Kim’s favorite quote from Lao is “Women must fight to bring spiritual balance as they have never fought before. This age of materialism . . . must be replaced by an age of love and character. The mothers of the world – which all women are – can accomplish this.”

Jeremy served on various committees for the University, namely the Alumni, Museum and Art, and is currently Chairman of the Science and Research Committee. He runs his own general contracting company and lives with his wife Adrianne and three children on Afton Mountain in VA.
Jeremy founded what would become the University's official International Age of Character Club Facebook Page helping facilitate interactions within the USP's student body. Visit the IACC page by clicking here.
Join him as he simplifies Russell's science with new diagrams and graphics that focus on three postulates:
1. The universe is made up of only one substance-Light
2. The universe exists in only two states: Stillness and Motion.
3. There are only two forces: Gravitation and Radiation.
ON SATURDAY: Matt discusses the FIRST of many popular booklets to be published by Walter and Lao Russell, A Scientific Explanation of Sex (1st printing - 1949).
From the Forward: "This booklet is reprinted from Vol. II of THE MESSAGE OF THE DIVINE ILIAD in response to so many requests for inexpensive replicas by those who wish to give many copies to friends and others, especially young people, who so sorely need basic information upon this most vital subject of life."
ON SUNDAY: Matt will discuss the path forward for science, philosophy and religion from a western perspective. The grip of Gnosticism, the new age movement, scientism and political philosophies have stifled true spiritual growth for the western world. How do the Russell teachings provide a genuine path forward?

She is the founder, editor, researcher and graphic designer of Science to Sage magazine which explores the intersection of cutting-edge science, spirituality, and ancient wisdom.
Using the awe-inspiring beauty of motion and imagery, Karen will take you on a journey to view the cosmology of Walter Russell in a life-changing way. Her talent as a conceptual genius will help you visualize what appears abstract.She will give you greater clarity of the wisdom contained within the drawings and the quotes within the Russell body of work. Her ability to bridge geometry, science, color, harmonics and healing will show the vast interconnectedness of all things and you will never see the world the same way again.
Prepare to be inspired!

Freddy Jackson: Freddy is an inspirational and transformational speaker, mentor, personal trainer, educator, author, and founder of The Love No Ego Foundation, located in Charlottesville, Virginia. His Love...No Ego philosophy serves as the foundation for pushing the human spirit into greatness, helping clients to remove biases, fear, and judgement, while simultaneously igniting their intuition to produce monumental results!
In this presentation, he will deliver a unique and inclusive presentation that captures, creates, and promotes positive personal and professional development simultaneously, propelling attendees and participants into purposeful beings. The intuition is ignited and pushed into a space of greatness, establishing "a foundation for success" and a motivation that never waivers. Collaboration, creativity, and clarity naturally flows, consistently promoting a self and communal practice that promotes the awareness of, and then the diminishing of, egotistical attributes that are grounded in overly self-centeredness and fear. Love…No Ego, The Courage to Be You, helps participants to find or rediscover the "You" within themselves, leading to a life of positive growth, long-term happiness and success, and resiliency.
