Great ideas, ideas that bring forth considerable transformation, stem from a moment of brilliance within someone’s personal experience, an instant of perfect synchronicity. In that moment, possibilities open and the future presents itself. The magic of our connectedness as human beings is expressed in many ways, takes on different faces, and its magnitude is revealed when we get together to celebrate what makes us unique.

Come inspire and be inspired! Experience the magic of our own truth and the power of our collective wisdom. Grab the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with inspiring people, discover the thought provoking links that exist between fields of knowledge, and learn more about the unique relationship that connects us to each other, to all that exists. Through multi-media lectures, musical presentations, interactive workshops, art exhibitions, round table discussions, and more, the festival is designed to bring passionate thinkers and creators together to share thoughts and ideas on a myriad of subjects in order to expand and bring forward personal and collective thinking. It is a weekend dedicated to the celebration of the brilliance of our true self and an opportunity to open our minds to “what else?”

Keynote and Guest Speakers

The Festival will open on Saturday morning with the powerful keynote address “Awakening to the Genius Within: Living large doesn't have to be hard!” delivered by Louise LeBrun (Ottawa), Founder of the WEL-Systems Institute, Writer, Educator, and Speaker. On Sunday morning, LifeSpace presents guest speaker Roger Morin (Georgia,US), Emeritus Professor of Finance and Distinguished Professor of Management. Roger will deliver an audio-visual presentation entitled “A Lattice Approach to Knowledge”. The focus will be on the commonality and knowledge transfers across the physical and social sciences and from this cross-pollination of knowledge emerges a "theory of everything."
