Sedona's Podcasters Unite: 'We Are the Change Now'

When Sedona's podcasters gathered for the On Humankind Podcast Open Panel, something electric happened. This wasn't a polished presentation—it was raw, real, and revelatory. Star seeds met psychic mediums. Galactic commanders sat beside mental health revolutionaries. Hollywood veterans shared the stage with crypto coaches. And together, they wove a tapestry of awakening that reminded everyone watching: we are the change now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how you guys doing out there across planet Earth?" Rion De Roen opened, his voice carrying the gravitas of someone who's battled demons at Cathedral Rock and activated stargates at Mount Shasta. "My third eye was activated on my 29th birthday. Do the math." Trained by his 8D Anunnaki guides, Rion has worked behind the scenes since 2009, and his message was clear: "It's important for us to hang out with one another and learn from each other, and really steer the consciousness of the planet into a more positive timeline."

Who Shows Up When Consciousness Calls?

The introductions alone could fill a cosmic anthology. Sheila, once vice president of Hemdale Pictures (yes, Terminator 1), described a recent leveling-up so profound that "the me that drove those eight hours to California, the Monday that I returned, that was not the same person anymore." Her story of meeting a robot on Sunset Boulevard before walking into a red carpet event—complete with a "happy birthday" helium balloon waiting by her tire at 4:30 AM—became a metaphor for quantum synchronicity in action.

Debbie Nelson brought grounded urgency to Revolutionary Mental Health, sharing how she's watched the addiction treatment world transform: "We really haven't really been ever getting to the true source of what really is going on, and that's why we have such profound failures." Now she works with frequency trainers and consciousness-based treatments seeing actual results. "I actually get to see people get better instead of the standard."

What Happens When You Choose the Impossible?

Arcturus Ra, the triple Aquarian "ultra wizard" who creates photonic jewelry, dropped a revelation about language itself: "We coined the term download on YouTube 15, 17 years ago." But his deeper teaching cut to the bone: "If somebody doesn't believe in you, they're hijacking your belief system. They literally, energetically, toroidally, inverting that."

He invoked Rocky—that soul who "had nothing but his belief system"—and connected it to the impossible projects that shaped culture: George Lucas in warehouses without AC, Ralph Bakshi rotoscoping Lord of the Rings with no budget. "Whoever applies for the impossible has no competition," Ra declared. "Because you're going for what's insane."

Tyler Kawala, host of Journey to Truth podcast, shared how darkness became his greatest teacher: "My mother passed away in 2011, and that's whenever they started shooting arrows at me." Recruited twice into covert programs—once for Mars, once for Navy—he learned the shadow world's architecture firsthand. "Our darkest moments are our greatest teachers," he offered. "The dark always serves the light."

How Do Lightworkers Actually Hold the Room?

When host Sheila asked the panel to share stories of overcoming opposition, Rion leaned forward with galactic command intensity: "What type of person are you really? Are you strong enough to pick yourself up, then your family, then your friends, then your town, your village, your city, your country, the planet? How strong are you?"

His teaching on supernatural activation was precise: "Your third eye comes on, you begin to see all the other dimensions. Your throat chakra turns on, you can now hear all your higher selves. Your heart chakra turns on, and then the chain reaction to activate every single one of your chakras firing forwards and backwards. Your supernatural abilities turn back on."

Debbie's story of cold-calling Dr. Samuel Lee—a LA psychiatrist sitting on a beach wondering if he could speak truth about spiritual psychiatry—became testimony to following downloads even when they make no sense. "I had to meet this man," she recalled. "And he saw that as his sign to start a new way of treating people." Now that fringe approach draws 3,000 people to conferences. "We're not on the fringe anymore."

Adria Esterhuys of You Unlimited offered the tender truth beneath all the cosmic talk: "It feels scary some days and yes, of course, it does, because we are changing." Her mission is being "a practical mentor for this completely impractical, magnificent world."

As Ra put it, weaving AI, source alignment, and ancient wisdom: "Anything that is not in alignment with source coding will not last. That the reason why pyramids are still here and cities come and go." He described asking AI if he was committed to what naturally comes through him—and getting goosebumps when the algorithm asked back: "Are you committed to what's coming from you?"

The panel embodied what Humankind Center founder John Strayer envisioned: Sedona's consciousness creators finally having a cohesive place to collaborate. As Jace noted, "Sedona is just obviously such a hotspot activation place that I think will continue to be kind of this place of initiation for people."

Sheila closed with the truth they'd all lived into: "We have the choice to choose healing, to choose love, to choose higher vibrational consciousness-expanding topics. You have the choice." And in this room, surrounded by impossible stories made real, the choice felt obvious.
