Celebration Productions Presents our 100th Metaphysical Celebration
2012 Transcendence Fair
Colorado Springs City Auditorium
October 5-8, 2012
The 2012 Transcendence Fair is both the 100th Celebration Metaphysical Fair and the last gathering of the Celebration Community before the Winter Solstice event prophesized by so many. We have opened this festival to all people of spiritual sensitivity and vision. We have expanded this festival in time and space, so participants can connect to Gaia Earth and prepare for the new paradigm that 2012 ushers in.
This Metaphysical Celebration is both local and planetary. It is small enough to enable meeting new people, yet large enough to host some of the world leaders in conscious and spiritual evolution. It is old enough to establish a reputation of integrity, value and vision, yet aware enough to be creative, playful and committed to adapting to 2012 future transcendence.
This website is meant to be a motivator to explore your personal response to 2012 changes, whether you are coming to the fair or preparing at home with friends or family. This is a year of letting the old and dysfunctional give way to a new view of a meaningful life. We have to position ourselves to get through the difficult times of radical transformation.
More importantly , we have to empower ourselves to be proactive and become the people we want to be. We are spirit in a physical body and it is time we own our own spiritual evolution. Perhaps it is not a coincidence that we are here on earth for the last day of the Mayan calendar.

The good news is that the 2012 Transcendence Fair has just an outstanding group of Keynote speakers, 2012 panel discussions and free seminars. The bad news is that you won't have time to attend them all! Our two Keynote speakers are each presenting two presentations. Combined, they will give an orientation of how to psychically, spiritually, and practically prepare for 2012 and beyond. Both Dannion Brinkley and Gary Douglas are on the very forefront of human spiritual evolution.
During the panel discussion, you can learn and listen to what psychics and mediums are saying about the end of the Mayan calendar and what might happen on December 21, 2012. During open mic session, you can share what you have intuited about what is the meaning of the 2012 transformations.
We have always held a long tradition of free seminars by professional holistic healers, clairvoyants, spiritual teachers and visionaries. These lectures are approximately 50 minutes long and cover the full range of metaphyisics. The lectures are certainly food for thought and discussion.
To top off the entertainment, we have a number of our favorite musicians that have always supported the fairs with music to open the heart and energize the soul.
Dannion Brinkley is the New York Times best selling author of Saved by the Light, At Peace in the Light, and Secrets of the Light: Lessons from Heaven. After being struck in the head by lightning in 1975, Dannion was pronounced dead at his local hospital. While his body was covered with a sheet, and set aside until someone had the time to take it to the morgue, he embarked on a fantastic voyage to the heavenly realms. Twenty-eight minutes later, Dannion returned from Heaven with a remarkable story of the afterlife.
In 1989, during open-heart surgery, Dannion found himself once again, out-of-body, and traveling down the tunnel into the Light. Then, unbelievably, he had a third near-death experience as the result of brain surgery in 1997. All three of his adventures into the world beyond have been chronicled in Dannion's three books. After nearly 35 years of study and research in the field of death, dying, and the hereafter, Dannion is recognized as an expert on these subjects.

Traveling The Distance $20.00
In this workshop, Dannion will look back through the boxes of knowledge to discover what was right, and what was not... Dannion will also reveal what he believes will happen in the next three years that will have a dramatic impact on our lives.
This presentation will give you insight into the spiritual world, and how we can better create and control the possibilities that become our individual futures. In my book, Saved By The Light, I wrote about the insights received from the boxes of knowledge by the Beings of Light, and what was going to happen during these times, here on Earth. Remember, the beings said,“ Nothing is carved in stone.” By reviewing these heavenly insights, we have a better chance of changing this world. And, maybe just maybe, we can take this information and change the world we live in, for the better! Dannion promises this will be a fast paced and exciting 90 minutes. Don’t miss it!

What Death Can Teach You About Life $20
In Dannion’s new workshop, he will be discussing what death can teach you about life. “I see over and over again, you can learn how to better liveyour life from people who have just lived theirs. After spending over 26,000 hours at the bedside, I’ve decided it’s the right time to compile everything you need to know before you go so you can truly live in these adventurous times.”
Besides lecturing worldwide, and developing television programming, Dannion Brinkley continues to bring comfort to those who are journeying from this world to the next. Don’t miss this amazing presentation! It will help you loose the fear of death, and also help you gain the knowledge and skills necessary to help you face the future with optimism!

20 years ago, Gary Douglas started to develop Access Consciousness with the knowing that a different way of functioning in the world must be possible. His purpose with Access is to create a world of consciousness and oneness – where consciousness includes everything and judges nothing. Simple, effective, and to the point, Access is a set of tools, processes and questions that enable people to create change in any area of their life.
Born in the American Midwest and raised in San Diego, California, Mr. Douglas has always been on a spiritual path, seeking deeper answers to life’s mysteries. His innate curiosity has allowed him to question what didn’t seem to be working in life and to seek alternatives to the popular views and accepted wisdom of today Mr. Douglas has written several books on the subjects of money, sex, relationship, magic and animals. In 2010, “The Place” became a Barnes and Noble bestseller.
Today, Mr. Douglas’ workshops can be found in 25 countries and is offered by over 600 facilitators worldwide. Mr. Douglas continues to travel all over the world facilitating advanced classes on subjects ranging from bodies, the Earth, animals, conscious children, possibilities, relationship and money.
The techniques of Access Consciousness are being used worldwide to transform lives and bodies in private practices as well as in conjunction with addiction recovery, weight loss, business and money, animal health and many holistic health modalities, such as acupuncture and chiropractic care.

Magic. You are it. Be it $20.00
In “MAGIC.You Are It. Be It.” Gary Douglas will share processes, tools and points of view that you can use to create consciousness and magic and change your life in ways you may not even be able to imagine.
Magic is about the fun of having the things you desire. In a larger way, magic is about consciousness – not the addendum TO your life, it’s consciousness AS your life. You can function from consciousness every moment you’re alive. When you do, your life becomes truly magical and there’s nothing you can’t generate.
Magic is about living in the question. We actually create by living in the question. The Universe will provide infinitely --- if you ask and you’re willing to listen and receive. Living in the question means using questions to bypass the limited answers your mind provides. The more you live in the question, the more infinite possibilities will show up for you. You can bypass 90 percent of the steps that humans have to go through to create something when you are willing to have the magic and live in the question.
When you live in the question, you ask a question to create an invitation. When you ask a question like, What are the infinite possibilities? Or How Does it Get Any Better Than This? The universe will give you opportunities for that to happen. Join Gary in this life-changing talk about how you can change your life!

Talk to the Animals $20.00
Did you know you have the ability to talk to the animals? Did you know that every animal, plant and structure on this planet has consciousness ?
Join Gary M. Douglas in this inspirational talk about animal communication. Gary Douglas is known throughout the world as a facilitator in animal communication and founder of the innovative Conscious Horse Conscious - Rider Courses.
Based on his bestselling book, Talk to the Animals, Mr. Douglas will show you new ways to connect with the animal and plant kingdoms. You will also learn that through communion with animals, we can be a bigger contribution to them and the earth.
It’s interesting to observe animals misbehaving when we don’t listen to them. If you are unwilling to receive their communication, then you miss out on what they wish to give you.. Animals telepathically pick up on all your thoughts, feelings and emotions. That’s language to them and they can give you the whole picture of
what’s going on for them, if you ask the question.
One of the greatest gifts that animals give to us is the way they receive from us without any judgment and without limitation.They give us the opportunity to do the one thing that most of us never get the chance to do... to totally gift everything we have without limitation or consideration.

The Seminar lectures are about 50 minutes long . All seminars are in the Lon Chaney Theatre, a vintage theatre seating about 210 people that is part of the Colorado Springs Historic City Auditorium. You can come and go as you wish. These seminars were selected to give a well-rounded view of metaphysics, holistic healing, human potential, and the mysteries of the universe. The presenters are either authors, fair exhibitors or professional psychics and healers.
Closer to the fair, we will be providing a complete listing of our free seminars offered at the 2012 Transcendence fair on www.celebrationfair.com.
We will have two kinds of panel discussions at the Fair, but both will be about what are the 2012 transformations ahead. There are so many projections and interpretations about this year and December 21, 2012. We want to have all viewpoints represented.
The first panel will be experts who have studied and wrote about what could happen in 2012 and what it all means in metaphysical terms.
The second is an open forum where you and other participants share your channeled information and psychic insights about the 2012 transcendence. It will all be recorded so we will have a public record of people's prophesies.
The fair always has had free live music in the Cafe. We will also have demonstrations, dancing, drum circle and other entertainment that is fun for all.
While you are at the Cafe, you can stop by the "Do Your Own Reading" table and try your hand at Tarot Cards or at another divination tool we have out for you to use. Written instruction for various types of readings are provided.
We want to make this 2012 conference unique, authentic and outstanding. Therefore, we have arranged many extra activities that you can experience according to your desires. Colorado Springs in early October is beautiful and has a lot to offer. You will need to adjust your length of stay to accommodate what you want to do on your visit.
Here is a short list of events Celebration has to offer:
Community Drum Circle in Garden of the Gods
Sacred Medicine Wheel Ritual at Garden of the Goddesses
100th Gala Banquet and Dance Party
A non-denominational Ceremony to Align the Human to the 2012 Transcendence
Activities you can do on your own or with fellow fair participants (fees apply):
COG Railroad to the top of Pikes Peak (14,101 feet high)
Guided walking tour to the bottom of Cave of the Winds
Native American Cliff Dwelling Excursion
Sweat Lodge ceremony in the mountains
Autumn tree foliage excursion to Cripple Creek
Short hike to Helen Hunt Falls
The exact format for this planetary ritual is being developed over this year. So if you have ideas of components of the ceremony, please share. So far here is what we envision:
The commercial part of the fair will completely stop during the ritual, so all can participate. We will form one or more large circles embracing the whole main hall. In the center will be the EARTH VORTEX. The human citizens of the world will be represented in the circle by Fair visitors from the six continents. (Please come to represent your country and your continent.) At the four directions Elders will hold the energy of Gaia and Mother Nature.
The program will start by creating a sacred space and calling in the powers of the North, South, East and West. With gongs, drums, and crystal bowls. We will then purify the circle and concentrate on the psychic intent.
A guided meditation/visualization of the new 2012 transcendence paradigm shifts will focus the energy. Visitors from the six continents will join together with their neighbors to invite the people of the world to open and embrace the 2012 transformations.
Together we will send forth a CALL TO ACTION. With some simple chanting, songs and prayers, we will join our energy and commit ourselves to doing our own part to help humanity, let go of fear and create a positive future.
The ceremony will be between 30 and 40 minutes. It will be followed by a reception and snacks before we all return to our normal lives.
To celebrate our 100th Metaphysical Fair, we are throwing a banquet and cosmic dance party in Manitou Springs. The banquet starts at 6:30pm and is catered by Food Designers with both vegetarian and meat entrees. (Beer and wine are included). Come with an open heart ready to meet new people and celebrate a gathering of the tribe. There is seating for only 120, so get your banquet tickets early.
At 8:45, we clear off most of the tables to make room for dancing. The dance party is open to all and only costs $10.00. Contemporary music will be provided by DJ Dave. Wine and beer will be provided while supplies last. Just start dancing when the music starts!
Some activities create their own transcendent time and space. They don’t easily fit into a building or a commercial expo. So we have created some FREE events and gatherings of the world-wide tribe, that happen before the Fair and outside in nature.
The drum circle will happen hopefully in Garden of the Gods. (weather permitting) It will be lead by John Thunderheart. The exact time and place has yet to be determined. Our community has a long tradition of outstanding drum circles with all skill levels participating. We will have extra drums and rattles if you cannot bring your own. (This is provided free).
The medicine wheel ceremony will be in the Garden of the Goddesses( located in Red Rock Canyon) and lead by AhriannaPlatten. We have a sacred stone circle where we do these rituals regularly. The ceremony will be interfaith and cross cultural. We all know how to create our own sacred space. Now we need to join with others to heal the earth and the human species. The exact time has not been determined and the ceremony is free for all.
The VIP program is created to help visitors from far away enjoy the most of what the Fair and the region has to offer. Obviously it includes all the tickets to the paid events of the fair, but more it provides opportunity to really connect to fellow worldwide participants and the local people of Colorado. It is just nice to have local support people to answer questions and solve problems.
This is a local event that has gone international. We do not have big buses and huge hotels that we promote. We have organized the activities so that they can be done by public transportation or car pooling, but we suggest you will feel more free and will do more if you have your own rental car. We are creating a authentic Colorado metaphysical experience.
The list of VIP services and activities is detailed in the tickets and discounts menu. The prices are kept reasonable because we want you to come. In the VIP packet you will find maps and descriptions of all you can do while in Colorado. We are in the processing of arranging local volunteer hosts for all VIP members. We will also be providing other social opportunities to meet the staff, workshop presenters and other world travelers.
Having a VIP pass will just allow you to relax and do things the easy way.
October is one of the best times to visit the Rocky Mountains and Colorado Springs. The Aspen trees are turning gold with the autumn season. Deer and elk are rutting. The days are usually warm and the nights tend to be cool at our 6,500 feet elevation. If you are a VIP, we can help you arrange and facilitate your vacation plans.
You can find miles of exquisite hiking in Garden of the Gods Park, Garden of the Goddesses or Cheyenne Canyon (for short strolls or serious hikes.) Perhaps you would prefer to do a walking tour- tasting the many natural mineral springs water in Manitou. Some may perhaps enjoy having a fancy meal at the world renowned 5 star Broadmoor Hotel. If you have your own car, you can drive to the old gamblimg gold mining town of Cripple Creek.
Two of the best paid local attractions are the Pikes Peak COG railroad and the Cave of the Winds tour. The COG railroad is a beautiful roundtrip train ride to the top of Pikes Peak (elevation 14,101 ft). The Cave of the Winds is one of the best breathing caves of the American west. It is a wonderful way to see Mother Earth's geology.
Colorado Springs is a rich area for Colorado tourist attractions that are fun and easy to reach. Check out all the other nearby attractions at www.visitcos.com
We have been around a long time. We are the oldest metaphysical fair in the USA and perhaps the world. Our focus on holistic lifestyles and spiritual evolution has been maintained, whle the culture around us has jumped around following the latest material trend. Articles about us over ten years ago are still true today 9Nexus 2001) (Independent July 2011). Check out our history and philosophy to see what we strive to represent.
Today our Metaphysical Fairs continue to provide a safe, respectful space for people to explore what gives meaning and health to our lives. Openness to new ideas and deeper connections are what allow visitors to transcend fear and commit to a dynamic future.
Old and young, rich or poor or any of the other polar differences outweighed by the universality of human spiritual experience; the Metaphysical Celebration is a community of seekers from all backgrounds dedicated to conscious evolution, positive holistic future for ourselves,our species and our planet. 2012 is what we make it (or not).
This website is supported by our two sister websites: www.celebrationfair.com and www.celebrationnetwork.net. (launching February 2012) On CelebrationFair.com you can explore the information and lecture schedules of our other up and coming fairs. On CelebrationNetwork.net you can read articles on conscious living, metaphysics and holistic futures.
Celebration Productions which produces the 2012 Transcendence fair is really three people working hard year round. We also have a number of outstanding regular staff who come together to facilitate our events.
For this fair we have some community leaders who have offered to lead the events such as the drum circle and medicine wheel. Also for the fair, many good hearted volunteers are working as hosts and support people for our foreign visitors. The three organizers of the fair are:

Somewhere normally in our forties we become aware of time passing and the temporality of life. We suddenly have to focus on maintaining physical health, strengthening personal relationships and actively pursuing a fulfilling life, because if we don’t, life will pass us by soon enough. We don’t have time to waste! Our priorities change.
When we wake up to this new reality, we have huge potential for growth, happiness and new directions if we seize the opportunity. With all the restrictions and challenges of life, we need support from fellow seekers for our journey to a better life. Sometimes encouraging fellow seekers are in our life; but sometime we have to search them out. Celebration Community Network is where we can go.
One of the problems with the general internet is that we can’t trust that people are who they say they are. Some create false personas, others manipulate for self-serving ends. It is sad because we have to be defensive and they have no true communication that would be helpful on a soul level.
Here at Celebration we are one of the oldest metaphysical community fairs in the world (1978). Our longevity is because thousands of core people here are sincere, competent and truly interested in holistic/metaphysical growth and health. We started back when as the “New Age Network Cooperative", so our roots are public service and learning.
We maintain quality control of readers, healers and vendors by checking references and listening to our public, who have been coming to the Celebration Metaphysical Fairs in Denver and Colorado Springs for decades. Repeat customers are one of the highest compliments possible!
We now offer the Celebration Network to you, the world. What we do offer is a connection to people around the world who are exploring metaphysical ideas and the components of a fulfilling life.
We don’t claim to have the cheapest stuff or have all the answers on CelebrationNetwork.net. What we do claim is that you will find interesting well thought out articles about metaphysical exploration, holistic lifestyle and futurism. We do claim you will find authentic professional readers, healers and vendors who can offer services, insight and products that are helpful to soul growth and personal health.
Welcome
-Health is a balance of body, mind, spirit, and world
-We are all interconnected, affirming the highest good for all
-We have free will that allows destiny to unfold
-The vastness of reality (large and small) (physical and supernatural) can only partially be perceived by human consciousness.
This is a transformative period moment in history, as our species (and ourselves) consciously adapt to an overcrowded self-contained planet in the void of space. Together may we discover a better holistic way to create health for our body, mind, spirit and planet. Welcome!

The Celebration community is made up of people committed to having a meaningful life. Each of us at our computer or internet phone can share and learn from each other. Most of us have already explored the traditional religions and modern culture. We are from different backgrounds, races, religions, cultures, and parts of the world, yet we have come to the same awakening. Society needs must grow beyond pop culture, materialism, and dogma. 2012 prophecies are a Call to Action.
We are all in a different place when we approach Celebration’s 2012 Transcendence Fair , literally and figuratively. There is no “right answer” to how to prepare and live a meaningful life. However, we do have a few common values upon which this community is based:
-There are many paths to sacred connection.
-Health is a balance of body, mind, spirit, and world.
-We are all interconnected and we affirm the highest good for all.
-We have free will that allows destiny to unfold.
2012 is a transformative period in history, as our species (and ourselves) consciously adapt to an overcrowded self-contained planet in the void of space. Together may we discover a better holistic way to create health for our body, mind, spirit and planet. Welcome!
This wonderful historic building has been the Colorado springs home of the Celebration Metaphysical Fairs for over 20 years. It was built in 1923 with lots of civic pride. Over the stage in the main arena it says in Latin For The Use Of The People And The Glory Of The City.
On the east side of the main hall I the Lon Chaney Theatre, which seats over 200 people and has maintained it antique charm. All the seminars and keynote presentations happen there.
The café and votex is on the west side of the main hall. Here is where you find the small vortex stage for muscians and demonstrations. Some tables are set aside for the Do Your Own Reading area. Food (vegetarian and meat) will be provided by Front Range Barbeque.
PS: Nationally the City Auditorium is recognized as a haunted place. However we have made friends with the spirits.
By Shanti Toll
It is said we perceive only what we think. This is true for a culture as well as an individual. At one time, the world was flat according to traditional thinking. Once the earth was the center of the universe. Once women couldn’t vote and were property of men. Not long ago matter was solid, not atomic; there were no appliances or lights that used electricity and natural resources seemed endless. In other words, perceived reality was very different than it is today.
Scientists, doctors, economists, psychologists and all the other modern professionals say that they now have a better understanding of how the universe works. Many claim that with modern civilized methods we may possibly know how to direct and control our social, planetary and bodily environments. Yet we look around and many of us feel there is something missing. Despite the changes the world is not necessarily a better place. Maybe we also have more to learn, new questions to ask. Maybe that is why we are here today.
Metaphysics is the study of the nature of reality. Not just the things we can measure, the sounds we hear, the colors we see, metaphysics is also the research into the universe that is beyond our five senses and our tools of measurements. With openness to unperceived existence and abilities, we perhaps can find better, more subtle answers to the questions about the meaning of and fulfillment of life and consciousness. By experimenting and asking new questions we can make a better future.
Most people are agnostic, they believe in spiritual reality but are not sure how to conceive God and life after death. Some people are church go-ers some are not. Some people are religious, some are atheist and some just don’t know! But all people can be interested in metaphysics and living their lives in a meaningful way. For a person to enjoy metaphysical contemplation and exploration, all one needs is curiosity, a willingness to confront fear and a desire to empower heart and soul.
Celebration Productions runs two Celebration Metaphysical Fairs in Denver Colorado every year. We hold the Denver Metaphysical Celebrations at the Denver Merchandise Mart, which has three workshop rooms, two stages and two large expo halls which hold over 200 vendor, healers and psychics.
Our first Denver Fair this year is March 16, 17, and 18, 2012. The Keynote Speaker for this Fair will be Steven Farmer, author of many books including Earth Magic, Animal Spirit Guide and Sacred Ceremony.
