2026 Keynote Speaker
Erik Swenson
A Tipping Point for Humanity:

This very special Keynote presentation is unlike the usual Fair workshop. Erik has been with the fair since the very early days, doing his Global Healing Circle to start our day and a presentation during the day. This year we've asked Erik to speak to the state of consciousness needed to weather the changes in global consciousness.

You'll also get the back story to these pictures from Erik's time in Central America.

 

Humanity within the United States and around the world is finding itself in state of unsured-ness, if not expansive degrees of disruption at this point in eternity.

 

Whether the fear people of color are experiencing within the United States, or shifting relationships with our closest neighbors and fellow NATO allies, the effects of the Russia/Ukraine war or the “military action” the US and Israel have engaged against Iran, and Israel against Lebanon, and the widespread collateral damage against neighboring countries around them, the unprecedented internal disregard for the United States Constitution and the vehemently opposed primary parties attempting to navigate through it, the economic strain the entire world is experiencing due to gas, energy, and food prices and more, the fear, stress, and anxiety people are experiencing abroad are unprecedented for the current generation of humanity around the world.

 

And yet there is so very much more to this story…

 

For are we merely spectators, or somehow passive or active participants in all that is taking place?

 

While likely not our fault in any way, or at least not intentionally, might or do we have the ability to influence all that is taking place around us?

 

Could any of us individually, or a small or large grouping of us, help in any meaningful way in a single event, such as this, or perhaps even daily?

 

On the one hand, is it our responsibility to take some kind of action? On the other hand, are we remiss in serving/following the respective compasses that exist within us to not find a way to meaningfully contribute to helping create a shift, a shift to something that feels in greater alignment than even what we knew before?

 

Many, if not most who attend the Dare Fair have the awareness that we – both individually and collectively – have virtually limitless abilities within us…

 

And… in the knowing of how overwhelming, if not dark, things may feel for at least some, if not many, of us at this time...

 

Deep down, we are also equally aware that the darkness can be an incredible catalyst to the transformation to most radiant light…

 

So we invite you to join us for this truly uncommon event we will be co-creating together… an event with the potential for us to leave the fear, worry, and/or concern behind, and leave the fair with crystal clarity as to who we are, the limitless abilities within us all, and manners in which we can share the gifts of who we are that will assist in bringing about the changes we seek…

 

Potentially even to the scale of expanding global consciousness…

 

Ladies and gentlemen…

 

This accumulation of circumstances has never existed before…

 

Nor has this presentation – uniquely created to assist us in navigating

those circumstances...

 

Yet it is entirely possible it could help us all find our respective pathways

through all that is taking place in the world around us today

while similarly serving as a keel to assist us in moving through all that comes

to be from this point forward throughout the remainder of our earthly journeys.​
