This week I’ll be speaking with author and consciousness explorer extraordinaire Alan Steinfeld! His book Making Contact was so well-received that it led to a five-part series featuring some of the most well-known names in UFOlogy, including Linda Moulton-Howe, Whitley Strieber, and Caroline Cory among many others. We’ll also be discussing his upcoming appearance at the April 2023 Portal to Ascension Conference!

Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and I want to thank you all so much for joining us today. I love seeing that so many of the regulars are still tuning in and sharing this podcast with others, even as I’m just posting so sporadically right now. Thank you so much for the energetic support, it is truly appreciated. For those of you that are joining us for the first time this week, I want to give you a very warm welcome to the exchange. We truly value all of your positive energy and hope that you continue to join us each week! You listeners are the most important part of this podcast and I appreciate each and every one of you more than I can say. Please remember that if you have any suggestions for topics or guests, I do listen to the listeners, and I look forward to hearing from you on our website or on twitter @AwakenExchanges.

This episode was supposed to air a couple of months ago now, but my year has been crazy. The busy streak at my day job came to an end last week as our 4/20 orders have all been filled and we’re now just playing stock-up for a while. I still expect to have some long weeks, but maybe I’ll get back to a 4-day week somehow and start recording more regularly again. I do know that I’ll have some time off next week, starting when I join this week’s guest, Alan Steinfeld, at the Portal to Ascension Conference in San Diego. I’m really looking forward to the conference and the break from the day job. My girl and I will be taking our first vacation together and I’m looking forward to having a few days without work occupying so much of my thought space.

Ok, I know I’d stopped rambling as much at the beginning of these, and while I’m going to keep that as the standard practice, I’m going to be a bit more relaxed with it as there seem to be interesting things happening lately that I’d like to share with you. The first of those interesting things has been getting to meet up with a longtime gaming friend of mine, Justin. We’ve known each other for nearly 5 years now, having met playing some online gaming together. That said, despite phone calls, texts and even some video chats, this weekend was the first time that we actually got to hang out and share a couple of beers together. It was obvious from the first drink why we’re friends and we got to share a few days of friendship in real life for a change. Hell, he even showed me up and took first place at my last poker night at this house! I just wanted to give him a shout out and let him know how grateful I am for our friendship. It’s awesome to have good people in my life, even from afar.

Alright, alright, enough of that sap. But speaking of that being the last game at this house, it looks like I’ll be renting it out here in the next month or so. Moving in with my girl allows this house to start earning passive income for us and to take off that expense while we look for land. The A.R.C. is still the goal, but it appears to be changing shape, at least to start. The Rad-Rich River Retreat will be how we start the community process I’ve been envisioning with the A.R.C. We’ll be hosting yoga, meditation, and wellness retreats, building community through living by example and helping people with whole-being wellness; mind, body and spirit. I hope to see some of you there as we get opened.
