The current period through and beyond the year 2012 heralds a unique time in the cycle of human history and is a profound transition referenced in many different spiritual traditions, including Mayan, Christian, Hindu, Hopi, and Taoist. Through this event -- the first conference on 2012 in the Boston area -- The Emergence Project is pleased to offer a unique platform for exploring the amazing opportunity for growth and change that the 2012 phenomenon presents.

This special event brings together some of most thoughtful and attuned presenters involved in the process of providing a deeper understanding of the planetary changes that lie ahead. The intent of the conference is to promote wider and clearer understanding of these changes by offering insight, information, and tools to all participants. Community-building is also an important aspect. We welcome attendees from all backgrounds, levels of interest, and systems of belief to attend.

The conference includes presentations from four well-known experts and a special series of workshops. Topics include the Mayan background and history associated with the 2012 shift; the scientific and astronomical underpinnings for wide-scale planetary change; and, most importantly, how, on a practical and existential level, individuals can move beyond the limitations of fear-based thinking towards a positive, mindful, and meaningful engagement towards a sustainable, egalitarian world.
