Richmond IONS June Meeting Program Title:

“How Art Shapes Shape Us, the Next Installment.”

Our June 15, 2019 program will feature a much requested follow-up talk by Vandorn Hinnant, Durham, N.C.  He is a painter, sculptor, poet and educational consultant. His talk will be moderated by his wife, AnaMaria Walle.

From an early age, Vandorn Hinnant consistently endeavored to translate his inner visions and other-dimensional experiences into something he could share with the world. In 1989 he began his formal studies of Sacred Geometry under the tutelage of physicist and inventor Robert L. Powell, Sr., who became his mentor.

Since that fate-filled day, Vandorn has developed a body of two and three-dimensional works of art, painting and sculpture. In fact, some have recognized his works as more than art. Meanwhile, many have encountered them and experienced transformative and expanded states of awareness.

“Before We Knew: From The Mother of Everything” – Artwork by Vandorn Hinnant

Vandorn draws inspiration from naturally occurring geometries and utilizes the Golden Ratio. The Golden Ratio is also known as The Golden Proportion or Section. Using these, Vandorn creates elegant compositions that embody fractal phenomena.

In doing so, he joins a long line of artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Salvador Dali. They too have used empirical methods to achieve aesthetic ends.

AnaMaria Walle began her studies of metaphysics in 1973 and never stopped. She tracked down Vandorn when she saw an image of one of his works, entitled “Voice,” on a postcard while on the West Coast. Her immediate response was, “I must meet whoever created this work of art.”

Now together for 17 years (married for 5), they continue to collaborate, exploring inspirations they encounter in the realm of the metaphysical.

Join Vandorn and AnaMaria in conversation and entertaining questions posed by the audience. They will share images of Vandorn’s work, along with creative explorations they have pursued such as pyramid power, meditation chambers and more!

Richmond IONS Meeting September 15, 2018

Antonia Albano Richmond IONS MeetingRichmond IONS Meeting and Central VA IONS Community Group Meeting Featuring a Talk by Antonia Albano.

Where: River Road Church – Baptist, 8000 River Road, Richmond, VA 23229

When: Saturday, September 15, 2018, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, followed by potluck lunch at conclusion of program.

Richmond IONS Program Title:

“Journey Into the Expanded Realms of Love…with sacred geometry for the new human.”

Our September 15, 2018 program at our Richmond IONS Meeting will feature a talk by Antonia Albano. She is a Lexington based Mid-wife and Messenger for the Geometric Technologies of Love.

Antonia has had a life-long fascination with both how the un-manifest is made manifest, and how the un-manifest is integral to our existence and permeates all life with its intelligence. While on a modern day vision quest in 2004, Antonia began to draw shapes that have become the focus of her life. She’ll explain how, if one chooses to allow it, such forms can impact and shape our lives and all life as we know it. She also discovered how with the shapes came a beautiful, gentle yet powerful and palpable energetic message as to their purpose.

Over the next eight years, six more geometric shapes new to this earth plane presented themselves to Antonia. These shapes, with motion, color and sound, together form a family called the Geometries of Love… sacred technologies for the new millennium. Each is magnificent and important in its own right. However, together they function synergistically as a potent generator that is the Unified Field System of Love. They create for our own experience what Antonia describes as both “the Next Octave of Love” and “the Next Octave of Human!”

Antonia, as the midwife and messenger of these geometries, will explain how they sometimes gestated for up to 1.5 years until “the intelligence” said they were ready to be introduced to the world.

While each was gestating, minor shifts occurred in Antonia’s understanding.  She noticed, appreciated and integrated more clarity in its name and expansion in purpose. Sometimes she received little information at the onset, and sometimes pages of information.

Antonia will provide an overview of these beautiful living, breathing, infinitely intelligent geometries. She’ll also integrate graphics, messages and melodies to help us see a bit of what has been shown to her. This promises to be an exciting presentation and we are extremely grateful to Antonia for sharing it with us.

About Antonia Albano, Our Richmond IONS Meeting Presenter:

Antonia has been involved for over three decades with the California-based Alohem Center for Transformational Studies. In addition, she also co-founded the California Institute of Mind-Body Awareness just north of San Francisco, where she spent time as a Transformation Coach and Spiritual Mentor.

Antonia and her husband Barney own and operate South River Highlands, a 250-acre retreat center near Lexington, Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley.
