In 2017, news of a secret government UFO program made headlines in the New York Times. Since then, multiple congressional hearings involving high ranking military officials have brought UAP/UFO conversation out of the fringes and into the mainstream.

While many seriously contemplate the possibility of ET contact for the first time, contact has been an ongoing lived reality for some Indigenous Americans for centuries. For them, the UAP mystery is linked to non-ordinary states of consciousness; ongoing spiritual, mystical, and paranormal happenings; and contact with non-ordinary realities that shamans and medicine people around the globe have explored for centuries. Individuals who report contact with UAP and their occupants often experience enhanced psychic abilities, changes in their sensory perception and nervous systems, and most profoundly, changes in their values and worldviews that are rooted in a respect for the Earth and concern for the ecological crisis.

Join us for an 8 week of deep dive into the UAP/UFO phenomenon, and its connections to shamanic practices, Indigenous American worldviews, and non-ordinary states of consciousness. We will look at UFO culture past and present, the kinship worldview and extraterrestrial contact in Indigenous American traditions, the link between UAP encounters and non-ordinary states of consciousness, the connections between “alien abduction” accounts and Shamanic initiation, profound value shifts in UAP contact experiencers, UAP and the trickster, and human initiated encounters or close encounters of the fifth kind, including CE-5 protocols. Through readings, lectures, and discussions, participants will emerge with a much deeper understanding of the contact experience, Indigenous American worldviews, and the implications of the UAP mystery for the evolution of human consciousness and our urgent need to restore our connections with Earth.

Kimberly S. Engels is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Molloy University, Research Director for the John Mack Institute, an advisory board member for the Society for UAP Studies, and a student of the Sanctuary Center for Shamanic Study.
