The Inspired Mind Summit

In our modern society, everything we do is seen, measured and evaluated by some externalized standard. Our modern culture demands productivity at the expense of our ability to listen to, acknowledge and understand our inner needs and wants. This can create a fast-paced, high-output expectation of ourselves that seems to have no limits. It gives us all our conveniences and lifestyle, but at what cost?

We have lost the connection between mind and body. We often feel like floating heads full of figures and task lists, with no awareness of our physical, emotional or spiritual needs. We feel increasingly numb, restless and out-of-touch. How can we come back to seeing and feeling our full selves? Where do we start?

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in cycles of physical or emotional pain, your body may be trying to get your attention—through frequency. In this transformative session, Amy McGraw, known as The Soul Catalyst, shares how unprocessed trauma, tech overload, and energetic misalignment often show up as pain, fatigue, or foggy thinking—and how tuning into your body’s frequency can begin the shift from survival to serenity. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of your body’s hidden language—and how to decode it to restore your peace, power, and presence.

Many talented mid-level professionals face uncertainty, stalled progress, or frustration in roles that no longer align with who they are. Perhaps you’ve hit a plateau, feel undervalued, or simply want more—more time, more impact, more joy—but you’re unsure how to get there. You’re not alone, and the good news is, change is possible.

Relentless disruption and rapid change are coming at us daily like a firehose. There is no way to stay grounded, no exit ramp from fear and anxiety, no pathway to peace of mind and happiness amidst all the distraction and chaos unless we anchor in love - compassion, understanding and kindness - towards ourselves and others.

This moment in time has the potential to be a turning point - the chance to heal our minds and hearts, embrace the fact that everyone is struggling with something and that we are in this together. This is how we anchor in love and opportunity. This is how we thrive in the disruption.

Have you been curious about share trading but for some reason, you're also put off and a little scared?

Since the inception of share trading, it's been associated with aggressive masculine energy - it's all about the numbers and graphs and back in the days before the internet, lots of shouting on the stock market floor!

But what if I told you that a feminine approach to share trading is even more powerful?

Where the logical meets the illogical.

Where numbers, graphs and intuition interplay.

This is what this session is about and where I'll share stories to show you the power of bringing the feminine to share trading and why it's not just about the numbers!

Have you tried stress reduction techniques on your own—but still feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or just plain worn out?

What if the missing piece wasn’t another solo self-care routine, but something more interactive… more social… and a whole lot more fun?

In this session, discover how social partner dancing—especially Ballroom and Latin styles—can help you reconnect with your body, quiet your busy mind, and reawaken your natural sense of joy and confidence.

For generations, community dances were vibrant gatherings where everyone—young and old—came together to move, mingle, and belong. Dance was more than entertainment; it was a way to build grace, connection, and community. But when our society stepped away from these traditions, we lost more than we realized.

This is an invitation to reconnect with yourself and to a community. Learn how reclaiming your rhythm through social dance can restore your sense of peace, personal power, and playful spirit—no experience or partner required.

Theresa Thomas' passion for connecting to her ancestors and the elements of fire, water, earth, mineral and nature truly, in her opinion, saved her life. After successfully reintegrating into the world after recovering from Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, some personal difficulties led to a deep depression.  While not even realizing she was depressed, Theresa's friends took her to the East Coast Village near Albany, New York, where she experienced what could be called an instant healing.  The trees, the protected stream, the community fire and the deep connection to nature awakened Theresa's spirit and brought her back to wanting to live life again.  

Theresa is dedicated to helping others find balance, peace and calm by connecting with the elements and the ancestors. She is dedicated to bringing the messages from the Kontomblé, the little people who claim to be the first extra-terrestrial beings to come to Planet Earth, whose sole purpose is to bring healing to those seeking guidance and healing.

In addition to healing messages, Theresa believes mindfulness and gratitude practices, good communication and a peaceful, environmentally safe living environment make it possible for folks to achieve peace and balance in their lives.
