Grand Rising with Ryan Stober & Sheela Rahman: Weekly Community Updates and Extraordinary UFO Footage from Sedona

Every week, something shifts in the room when Ryan Stober and Sheela Rahman go live. The cameras roll, the breathwork begins, and for the next half hour, Sedona's consciousness community gathers—virtually and physically—to check in, ground down, and catch up on what's unfolding at Humankind and beyond.

This is Grand Rising, the weekly heartbeat of a center that refuses to wait for a better world and instead builds it, one gathering at a time.

Who Are the Voices Guiding Grand Rising?

Ryan Stober is equal parts host, comedian, and confessor. He reads the room with self-deprecating humor—"I'm going to offer a literacy program myself so I can learn how to read"—while keeping the show moving through event calendars, guest calls, and impromptu moments of awe. His warmth is immediate, his curiosity genuine.

Sheela Rahman brings a different energy: curious, precise, inspired. Fresh from Tesla Tech in Albuquerque, she arrives with the glow of someone who's just seen scientists discussing nanobubbles, quantum foam, and electron microscope evidence of modern-day alchemy. "This was a mind-blowing and inspiring conference where spirituality-informed scientists from all over come to showcase their latest findings," she shares, her voice still buzzing with discovery.

Together, they create a container that feels part news show, part meditation circle, part late-night talk—grounded in breathwork, open to synchronicity, unafraid of the extraordinary.

What Happens When You Tune Into Grand Rising?

The show opens with breathwork: inhale for four, hold for four, exhale for six. Three rounds. Simple, effective, grounding. "I think we need that more than the audience just to kind of settle us in here," Ryan admits, and you believe him.

From there, the episode unfolds like a living calendar. Frequency Fridays with BioCharger meditation. Mission Mondays to reset the week. Ancient Egyptian mysteries with Luxor Egyptologist Wael Ibrahim. Cacao, paint, and drums on Sunday. Jerome Martin's Stargate DNA Activation. Random Rab's dual-night dance journey. The list is dizzying, and Ryan and Sheela navigate it with ease, pulling up QR codes, joking through technical glitches, inviting viewers to dive deeper into the platform.

Clips from the Divine Alignment conference flash across the screen: speakers on heart coherence ("5,000 times stronger than what you talk about or what you think about"), conscious reality creation, escapist loops, and exo-politics. The montage pulses with music, movement, and packed rooms—evidence of a community hungry for depth.

Sheela recounts Tesla Tech with palpable excitement, describing talks on free energy, reduced emissions motors, frequency healing, and transmutation under electron microscopes. "There was a really beautiful and fresh, inspiring energy," she says. "It feels like a lot of the interference in the past has just been slowly, slowly dissolving."

She brought a crew back to Humankind: Phil Dubois, Keon, Marco Rodan, Gabby Insigne. They demonstrated vortex-based mathematics through new visualization software that lets you flip and rotate the torus in real time. Ryan lights up: "If you're trying to learn it, trying to understand it, I recommend digging in a little bit more to that."

What Did Gisele Reveal About Catastrophobia and the Bicameral Brain?

Midway through, the "Gisele sound" chimes, and Ryan calls the center's book curator. This week's selection: Catastrophobia by Barbara Hand Clow, subtitled The Truth Behind Earth Changes and the Coming Age of Light.

Gisele's voice carries the thrill of synchronicity. She'd set the book aside months ago—too technical—but picked it up again and opened randomly to a chapter on the bicameral brain. "I just learned about the bicameral brain theory maybe a month ago," she says, astonished. "I had never heard the word before."

The theory, she explains, suggests that ancient humans operated with a divided consciousness: the right brain gave instructions perceived as divine or ancestral voices, and the left brain obeyed. "We became so heavily left-brained that that stopped," Gisele reflects. The implication: what we call psychic ability or channeling might be an older, dormant mode of cognition.

Ryan is transfixed. "When am I going to start just realizing that's just the way it is?" he muses about synchronicity becoming ordinary. Gisele agrees: "It's actually a devolution... just look at the archeology."

What Did Sheela Capture on Film at Bradshaw Ranch?

Then comes the moment that shifts the entire episode.

Sheela interrupts from Bradshaw Ranch. She's done her "little UFO call"—a toning, melodic invitation—and trained her military-grade PVS-7 Gen 3 night vision goggles on the sky.

"You will not believe what I saw," she says, and uploads the footage live.

Ryan speeds through the video. At first: stars, power lines, a real estate sign. Then, in time-lapse, the sky erupts. Hundreds of plasma-like objects move in coordinated streams, expanding and contracting fields of light. "These are hundreds of UFOs coming in and out of the port," Sheela declares. Ryan is speechless: "I've never seen anything like this."

"I demand to know the truth," Sheela says, her voice rising. "I do not consent to the lies. Tell us the truth about what is going on up there."

It's raw, unscripted, and utterly compelling. Whether you approach it with skepticism or wonder, the footage—and the energy behind it—demands attention. Watch the full episode to see it for yourself.

Ryan signs off with Cheryl (who apparently appeared after Sheela vanished), reminding viewers of the expanding carousel of weekly shows on the platform. "Have a great weekend, everybody. Don't forget, Mondays need love, too."

In Sedona, the red rocks hold space. And every week, Grand Rising invites you to step into that space—to breathe, to question, to witness, and to rise.
