This year’s Midsummer New Energy Conference – Farewell to Tobias, was a one and only event. The way it touched all of us will never be forgotten. There were so many layers and parts to creating this event, starting with the overall theme, Tobias’ Farewell. Each of us was well aware of the specialness of Tobias delivering his last group messages before his epic return to Earth. A master back into a human incarnation. Tobias returning as “Sam.”

There were many discussions about what it would be like to say goodbye to our dear friend Tobias. He has offered us ten years of messages filled with tools to transform our lives, messages to nourish our souls and quiet our minds. He invited us to experience the real joy of life, to feel and be ever present in each now moment.

There was much speculation about what the farewell experience would be like and how each of us might be affected. I had heard numerous debates among Shaumbra about whether they should attend the big event, some claiming it would be just too hard, that they were feeling this transition of Tobias in such a deep and personal way, that they could not imagine making the trip to the Tobias Farewell. But of course there were other Shaumbra that said no matter what they would not miss coming together with Shaumbra from all over the world for this one time only event.

Nearly everyone I talked to was feeling the grandness of the departure on a large scale, but more importantly in a most personal way. Tobias’ departure and return to humanness was in of itself a huge experience, but the personal feelings each and everyone of us experienced – and to some degree are still experiencing – has been personally epic. We feel the invitation to now go out as the Standards, the divine ones that Tobias has been nurturing this past decade and before.

Over the past year an amazing group of presenters and talent were assembled for this event. All of the musical talent and the guest speakers, including Lee Carroll and the Kryon, were probably the best we have ever had. Each presenter offered a message that flowed from one presentation to the next. Each presenter and musician invited us to experience the grandness of our soul’s adventure each leading up to this present time of unprecedented potential for consciousness expansion.

As the event started, there was an excitement and a sort of tension. We were all feeling but not quite knowing what to expect. There was an overlay holding things in a kind of quiet suspense. Adamus Saint Germain read it so well. He invited us to find a space to move the energy with Yoham. And as they do so well, Yoham quickly invited us to a sensory experience that had everyone feeling and swaying to the music, transforming the energy.

As the event continued, I felt myself not wanting to miss a moment. I just wanted to be in the room with the group. With all of this going on, I knew that Geoff would be fine and there was nothing to worry about and yet it was impossible not to imagine how challenging it might be for him, the one most intimately connected to Tobias. I knew how deeply and personally I was feeling. My goal was to offer Geoff the love and support that comes so easily, but also to create a safe space for moving the energies. Wow, it was all so momentus.

On the second day, Kuthumi lal Singh delivered the most beautiful channel I can remember from this Master. So many of us have found Tobias to present himself as a dear sage friend, like a wise old uncle, one who loves us and invites us to enjoy the human experience, often sharing stories about his own life experiences, the good and the bad to inspire us to improve ours. But as the story unfolded, the magnificence of the one we know as Tobias was more clearly revealed.

There was barely a dry eye in the room, each of us so touched by what we heard. While we all on some level have always had a sense of Tobias’ magnificence, Kuthumi’s channel offered it in a way that we would all remember. Tobias’ service to us was a story of splendor. While I anticipated this event for a long time, somehow it was more than I imagined. We were all so moved and in such a feeling space I was unable to reconcile how I would get through the last day. Whether in the room or connected on line, everyone was feeling it.

There was great anticipation for the last day, the day Tobias would offer us his final farewell message in a group channel. The previous day was profound and we were all still feeling it. What was unexpected was that while this was a large event with more than 400 people physically in attendance plus the thousands connected on line, the experience was strikingly personal for all of us.

We anticipated the celebration. We imagined being in Breckenridge in support of Tobias and his transition into physical form, fully integrating with Sam. We knew it would be personal, yet it seems that few of us anticipated the process it would trigger within ourselves. And to that end, so many of us are still in our own new process, transforming the energies that this great Farewell to Tobias event represented and initiated for us.

How amazing is it that this Farewell to Tobias in so many ways is a beginning for us all. More than ever, I am inspired to live and to share what this great teacher has taught me. All the best teachers I have known hope that you learn what they offer and exceed what they have done! We are ready.
