“The Awakening in Byron Bay is the chance to see the light amongst all the darkness and chaos. It is the solution to a multitude of festering problems that multiply by each passing day.“
~ Steven Strong
Right now, most people despair over our politics, our greed, or our heartlessness towards other people. We feel like society doesn’t care. The individual, and the community, have been abandoned. What we want to offer is an alternative model, of what used to be, in this country, and still can. Our presentation is about Old Way protocol, social structures, the way we interact with each other, and how to live in a tribe where everyone cares for everyone. This is the oldest continual culture in the world, we believe it is a perfect role model and right now, out there, there’s nothing else.
This presentation picks up on the same theme used at both presentations held at Bundaberg, with one huge step forward. Close to ten years ago an Elder contacted us with an invitation to take some of the sacred rocks we are custodians of to Uluru. The rocks in formation at Uluru were needed to supplement a ceremony held at Uluru on December 21, 2020. It took place at Uluru during the Summer Solstice which also included an alignment of Jupiter and Saturn.
We were told that the Elders would sing up what they called a “magic Box” placed within Uluru. But what was also needed was the participation at the same time (7:30pm) of millions of others around the world. The Rock was closed on that morning at 10am and the day that followed. We were told if the ceremony was successful the planet would transform as the vibration (Schumann Resonance) would increase and eventually run continually at a very high level.
It was successful, but there is one catch to this Cosmic Ascension, all animals bar humans were guaranteed the right to remain, humans not so, each soul has to earn a ticket to ride. The Hopi prophecy speaks of the same ascension but stipulates if humans do not become familiar and committed to “old Teachings” they will no longer incarnate on this planet. Until now we have quoted from prophecies from a variety of places but never specifically Australia, Nissen’s permission to share these Original confirming prophecies about the change is the pivotal missing link in this chain.
I see our role is simply to arm the audience with Old Way wisdom, truths and the only path forward. This conference is the next step forward, in learning, appreciating and practising the Old Way thinking, lifestyle and Lore the Hopi speak of. In the last conference the headline was Old Way for New Days, and that is where we are taking this.

7:30-8:30 Rock Workshop Steven and Evan Strong
Close to fifteen years ago Ramindjeri Elder Karno Walker gave me a ceremony and a directive, to seek out and collect sacred rocks that fell into two categories. These are not the normal Original rocks held in Universities, collections and written about in academic texts, they are either, as Uncle Marbuck described, star rocks or sacred rocks exhibiting technology way beyond the reach of any stick, stone and bone toolkit. If they were made by such a toolkit, we have no interest in such rocks as they should be returned to country if the location is known.
An agreement was made between us, Ros Mulder (the person who bought at least half the rocks in the collection) and the Ramindjeri to store all the rocks on Ramindjeri land and hopefully within the confines of a Culture Centre. That is a work in progress and right now over three quarters of rocks are on country buried waiting …
In the meantime, most of the remaining quarter will be part of the rock workshop held in September. None of the rocks perform any practical function, they are all used in ceremony and esoteric pursuits, and many contain powerful energy/magic. The workshop will be interactive and will involve a lot of audience participation with one proviso; no-one can made any form of skin on rock contact. People can look, get very close, photograph them and place their hands near but never on the rocks. These rocks are steeped in protocol and if uninitiated or unknown to the specific rocks they will not react in a friendly fashion. They are unique and extremely powerful objects that have no precedent or parallel on this planet.
Saturday
9:00-9:10 Introduction
9:10-10:30 Steven and Evan Strong: Undeniable Proof of the Reality of the Uluru Ceremonies Success & the Skulls and Bones of The Pleiades
Our role is to present a compelling list of facts and science that proves that the ceremony at Uluru that began the process of Earthly transformation did take place and this was primarily due to the contributions made by the Pleiadeans.
We will present film of Uluru exploding in white light four minutes after the ceremony began, of the Schumann resonance also increasing 100-fold at exactly four minutes after the ceremony began, of a UFO hovering above, of a multitude of amazing light shows in the days following, along with a variety of signs prophesised by the Hopi and now confirmed by Nissen.
We will also present skulls and bones that are clearly neither hominid nor sapiens and exhibit traits that can only come about if not residing in Australia or anywhere else on the planet. We will also present the scientific analysis of metal rings and objects that contain metal not found on any Earthly Periodic Table.
It is our task to provide so much convincing empirical proof that no-one can question either that the ceremony was a success or that the crystals placed inside what the Elder’s called “the magic box” were not from this planet.
10:30-11:00 Katharine Kinnie: Kosmic Numerology & New Earth Astrology (2020-2025) – The activation of the Old ways for New Days
On 12th Jan 2020, many of us came together at Uluṟu and around the world to align with the Saturn/Pluto conjunction and the reconnection of the cosmic solar umbilical cord of the planet from Uluṟu to the Sun and Great Central Sun.
In many ways, this planetary conjunction and activation paved the way for some monumental shifts and changes that we then experienced throughout that year and are still integrating here on Earth.
In her opening talk Katharine will share about the significance of that conjunction and subsequent planetary alignments throughout 2020, culminating with the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction on 21st December 2020. And how and why the astrological happenings and Numerological themes of that year were significant in relation to remembering, activating, acknowledging and reconnecting with Old Ways for and in the here and now.
11:00-11:20 Morning Tea/Break
11:20-1:20 Uncle Lewis & Nissen Lowry: Our Elder’s Prophecy of the Earth Rising and the Old ways Returning
Uncle Lewis Walker
Karno Walker often spoke about Uncle Lewis in glowing terms. He is a living breathing example of Old Way protocol, Lore and sensibilities. It is our belief that Uncle Lewis is totally dedicated and absorbed by Old Way culture and lifestyle. The many trappings of modern society whether it be the money, convenience, competitive mindsets, and utter disrespect shown to Mother Earth have no place in Lewis’ life. He is the consummate custodian of the Dreaming. Some acknowledge its existence to varying extents but know little of its expectations and consequences, but Lewis goes much further in totally living, breathing and honouring the Dreaming constantly. His/story is the truth and only path forward, everything is either a distraction or a lie.
Nissen Lowry
Nissen the owner of Byron Hive and Buzz Studio and was a co creator of The Iconic Arts Factory. He and his family re-imagined Arts factory in 1993 after the late 1980’s Blues festival era.
He was welcomed into Bunjalung family by racognition, invitation and initiation also in 1993 by senior Elders of the proper custom of the Wahlabal, Narakwal & Midjimbhal clans Budtherum ( Lore and Dreaming) of the Bunjalung.
Nissen walks down the same path as Uncle Lewis. Both share an utter commitment to the Old Ways, and more importantly, know that the Earth is now ascending. They both know that the Schumann Resonance will manifestly increase, and every soul incarnated on the planet has a choice to make. To that end Nissen was chosen by Elders of the highest pedigree to share a prophecy of this change in all circumstances, but in what was an intriguing decision, the Elders made it clear that until he reached a stipulated age he was not allowed to speak of this monumental change in residence. He was told some time ago of the total change in planetary vibration along with a specific direction each human had to seriously consider and act accordingly. Nissen has now reached that age whereupon he can share the vision and insights the Elder’s spoke of.
1:20-2:30 LUNCH
2:30-3:30 Jarmby Miles: Old Way Business
Jarmby’s primary interest is in ‘men’s business.’ Which right now is of the highest priority, what we have found during the last decade is that about 85% of our audience is female. Many men have chosen to look elsewhere and because of their choices they have lost contact with the Earth and Guardian Spirits.
For many men as their aggression and belligerence grow the soul shrinks and shrivels. Jarmby rightly sees this as a fundamental problem and has been trying to give guidance and insights to right the male ship that is slowly submerging.
As a teacher I noticed that so many young men were all about being macho, good at sport and never allowing their emotions the light of day. Jarmby wants to show them another way forward to step back into their soul, the spirits of the land and then find real reason for incarnating on this planet.
3:30-4:15 Darren McElroy: Karno walker: Clever-fella, Culture Keeper and Mystic
Darren’s ancestry is Ramindjeri and his uncle is Karno Walker. From our dealings and interaction with Karno we have never met any mortal who is as uniquely Old Way, every word and deed Karno offered is steeped in tradition and protocol. The many times we saw Karno involved in what mainstream could only refer to as miracles is so numerous and lacking in any scientific precedent that it runs into double figures.
Darren will share his many personal dealings with Karno. What will become immediately obvious is that if one was to compare Karno to any present-day leader, businessperson or politician, they fail miserably in integrity, standing and compassion. It is people like Karno, as rare as they are today, who will be perfect leaders once the Earth ascends. People like Karno is both our future and the Earth’s salvation.

2:40-3:10 Katharine Kinnie: Kosmic Numerology of 2025,2026 and Beyond – The remembrance, seeding, anchoring & Embodiment of Old
As a collective we are currently experiencing a 9 Universal Year in 2025. Which is also the completion of a 9-year cycle numerologically.
The 9 is not only connected to completion, endings, letting go and closure, but also the past, the ancestors and the importance of retrieving things we might have left or forgotten in and from the past, and the gifts and rewards that can come with that. The 9 can very much relate to the Old Ways.
And we are moving towards 2026, which will be a 1 Universal Year. The 1 not only being connected to new beginnings, fresh starts and birth, but also sovereignty, origins and prime creation.
So, the culmination of these two numbers, 9 and 1 coming together and overlapping at this time on Earth, is very important and significant in relation to Old Ways, for New Days and the New Way Dreaming.
Katharine will be talking and sharing in more detail about the key themes of the numbers 9 and 1 from a numerological perspective. And offering information, knowledge, wisdom and guidance on how to best flow and align with the themes of these numbers. As we continue to journey with the 9 towards the end of 2025 and into the new energies of a 1 Universal Year in 2026 and the beginning of a new 9-year cycle numerologically. And how we can be embracing the Old Ways (9) and Original Ways (1) in our New Days (1).
