What if the memories buried deepest within us are the ones that could change how we understand reality?
At sixteen, Lesley Mitchell-Clarke saw a craft hovering close enough to reveal movement behind its windows. She rarely spoke about the experience, but it left her with a lasting awareness that humanity is not alone. Years later, after a successful career in entertainment and publicity left her searching for more meaningful work, regression therapy opened an unexpected new path. Today, she helps people use hypnosis to explore missing time and memories of extraterrestrial contact.
In this conversation, Lesley shares what she has learned from experiencers and why intuitive people may be especially open to telepathic communication. She also considers the possibility that contact is connected to humanity’s expanding consciousness and that advanced beings may be supporting us through that shift. Her story invites us to listen more closely to the experiences we cannot easily explain and remain open to what they might be revealing.

I’m excited to go deeper into your story, especially the things that have unfolded for you in recent years. But first, I’m curious about your backstory—your journey of awakening to consciousness, mindfulness, and spirituality. Did you have some sort of faith or spiritual experience as a child, or did that come later in life?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: I would have to say I was always a very spiritual person, even as a tiny person. I was raised Catholic, and for a while I thought, “Boy, wouldn’t it be wonderful to be a nun?” But that was before I realized the priests had all the dialogue.
I come from a professional show-business family. We have visual artists, actors, singers, and musicians—it has been the family business for centuries, really. So I was raised in a very permissive atmosphere in the sense that, even though we had our little structured religious situation, I was free to talk to my imaginary friends, travel, and do all the things I did.
I’ve never heard Catholicism described as “a little structured situation.” So you had this structured situation in your life, but also a permissive childhood?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: I did, in the sense that we deeply adhered to the basic Judeo-Christian tenets. It wasn’t wild or anything like that, but we had a lot of creative and mental freedom to explore.
I’m Irish American and Canadian, but I was born with what they call “the shining” in our culture. I’ve always been able to see energy at times, whether it was in the form of an entity or simply discarnate energy—although much less so now than when I was younger.
One of my earliest memories is of going to Mass and asking my grandmother, “Grammy, why do some of the people have light around their heads and some of them don’t?” My only reference point was pictures of saints with halos, and I didn’t understand what I was seeing. Obviously, some people were tuning in, and some people weren’t. At that point, she said, “It’s probably best not to talk to everybody about this.”
My upbringing was quite open to different philosophies, and my grandparents were liberal. It was very much that kind of environment. But I never really accepted the doctrine with which I was presented as the big picture. I always felt we were seeing some kind of CliffsNotes version of the true nature of reality.
So I’ve always been a searcher, and I’ve had some very profound spiritual experiences throughout my life, particularly seeing things and what have you. Then, when I was about 16 and working away from home in summer stock, I had quite a dramatic series of what I’m going to call ET encounters.
You were around 16 when you went away from home for the first time? Where did you travel from?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: I was coming from Los Angeles. I’m really American—I was born in New York City. Coming from a show-business family, my father was a very well-known comedy writer and producer. He helped create Get Smart and Mork & Mindy for Robin Williams, and he wrote for all kinds of other shows, including The Mary Tyler Moore Show. You name it. My dad was Mr. ’70s and ’80s.
I traveled from LA to the Black Hills of South Dakota, which is, of course, very sacred Native American ground that Mount Rushmore has defiled. I hate to put it that way, but it is sacred Native American ground on which there are the heads of four colonialists. What can I say?
While I was there, I immediately made a really good friend who worked as a singer in Las Vegas. I’m not going to give you her real name, but let’s call her Susie. We became fast friends. I thought she was fantastically mature—she was probably around 30—but to me, she had really been around.
Every time we left the theater compound and drove along the big, windy mountain road into the town of Custer, I began to notice lights following us. At first, I thought it was my imagination, but finally I asked her, “Have you ever noticed this?”
She then revealed to me—and this is a little far out, but I think you can handle it—that she was working for the government out of Las Vegas. She was a very powerful psychic involved in some type of communication program with ETs. Of course, that blew my mind, but I was completely ready to accept it.
So she was a singer performing with you in the Dakotas and also working as a singer in Las Vegas, but she told you, “I’m also working for the government.” At 16, did you believe her, or was some part of you unsure about it?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: If I hadn’t seen those inexplicable lights, perhaps I wouldn’t have believed her. Remember, because it is Native American land, it’s a no-fly zone. We wouldn’t commonly have seen any aircraft unless there were fires and they were releasing fire retardant or something like that.
This was a summer theater, and it only operated during the summer. Her regular job was working in the lounges at various clubs in Las Vegas. That was her gig, and she lived there. She had come to the theater for the summer because, as it turned out, she was trying to get away from the whole situation.
Every day, she would get on a plane at some airport out in the desert, and they would fly to what I think was probably Dreamland or one of those bases out there. They had a specific kind of lab or rooms where they worked on telepathic communication.
Why do you think she had been chosen for this? What was special about her that made her part of the program?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: I know that she was extremely psychic. I didn’t doubt that at all. I could sense it from her and from the things she said. How she became attached to this project, however, your guess is as good as mine.
Many of the experiencers I work with who have had relationships with government programs, hybrid programs, or government-ET programs have had family members in the military. That seems to be a kind of access point—a way to reach young people who might have the intelligence or other qualities needed to become involved in these things.
Another concept is that the ETs themselves may be involved in selecting people. Again, we’re dealing with many groups. There are many, many cultures and civilizations that we have engaged with and are still engaging with, which I hear about every day.
When I’m talking primarily about military and ET collaborations, however, we’re mostly talking about the Zeta Reticulans, or the Greys, who were involved in the Roswell crash. That’s how our strange relationship with them began.
But I digress. One evening, we were driving down the road when a craft came close enough that I could see movement behind its windows. I really have to identify it as a craft because that is what I saw.
Was that your first time seeing something like that? Were you screaming, awestruck, or pointing? What was happening in that moment?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: My God, yes. It was life-changing. My response was almost paralytic. All the hair on my body was standing up. There was an incredible energy being exuded by the craft—and perhaps by some other beings—that was very similar to what you might feel in a haunted house where there is spirit activity.
I think it may be an electromagnetic reaction to whatever kind of power source they use, although that is only my guess. But I was paralyzed—not “sort of” paralyzed. I wasn’t moving or speaking. At the same time, I wasn’t scared. I was simply stunned.
Then the craft seemed to blip out. It didn’t take off; I think it went into some kind of invisibility mode. I know this sounds incredible, but this is, in fact, what I experienced.
What were your conversations with Susie like after that experience?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: We talked about it a great deal. What she wanted to convey to me was that one of the reasons she was essentially hiding out at the playhouse was that the communication had become exhausting. It was absolutely draining, and she wanted to stop being involved.
Apparently, these particular beings from this particular civilization had no boundaries. Once she established a connection with them, it wasn’t limited to the time she spent in the lab on the base, or wherever it was. The communication was nonstop. When they find somebody telepathic enough to truly receive them, it just continues—at least with this particular culture.
Another significant thing happened that summer involving Susie. It was late afternoon at the theater, and I was lounging on the snack bar porch—something I was really good at. I looked around and realized there was no one there, which was odd because more than 300 people lived on the theater campus.
Then I saw a late-model American town car pull in, circle the roundabout, and stop in front of the dormitory where Susie lived. It didn’t have fins, but almost—think The Blues Brothers. The doors appeared to be much too heavy, and it took the occupants a moment to get out.
I saw what I’m going to call beings emerge from the car. They were dressed in 1940s-style suits, like George Raft criminals. Their trousers were very short, like high-waters, and they appeared to be wearing some kind of orthopedic shoes. I now wonder whether the shoes were weighted, although who knows?
They wore hats, so I couldn’t see whether they had any hair, but their skin looked plastic. That is the only way I can describe it—it looked synthetic. I watched these beings enter Susie’s room in the dormitory, and I was terrified.
I thought, “I’m going to give it a couple more minutes, and then I’m going in.” I don’t know what I was planning to do—beat them with my tuna sandwich? But I was going in.
Within what seemed like a very short period of time, they came back out. You never know about time because they fool with it. Perhaps it had been an hour. There was still no one else around, and I had the feeling they had manipulated time in some way.
They got back into their vehicle with difficulty and peeled out. Then I sort of came to, went straight to Susie’s room, knocked on the door, and walked in. I asked, “What was that? Who were those people?”
She said, “They were beings. They came to try to convince me to remain with the program.”
I filed those experiences away for a long time and didn’t really talk about them. I discuss them quite a bit in my most recent book, but after something like that occurs, how can you not accept that we are living in a galaxy—or a universe—full of life?
I’m curious about the trajectory of your career because I know you’ve spent a lot of time in show business in a variety of capacities. When did hypnosis cross your path, and how did it initially affect you personally?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: It was almost miraculous, I’ll tell you. After my husband and I had our children, I shifted from performing and acting into public relations. Eventually, I became one of the top jazz publicists in New York City, where we were living at the time.
After doing that for quite a few years, we began looking for a little more meaning in life—and a kinder, gentler place to live. When I was eight months pregnant with our youngest child, my daughter, I was mugged and beaten on the subway. A lot of other very troubling things happened as well, and both my husband and I felt that if we were going to move, we should do it then. We already owned a home in Toronto, and my husband is Canadian, so we moved.
Less than a month later, 9/11 happened. Aside from the obvious, horrific tragedies—not to compare our troubles with those tragedies—it essentially meant that all of our work in New York disappeared. Broadway was closed, the clubs were closed, and the record labels weren’t functioning. There was no PR work, and we would have gone bankrupt. As it was, in the face of this horrific tragedy, we were able to move ahead in a good way.
After a while, though, I began experiencing what you might call a midlife crisis. I found the whole PR business incredibly empty. People would come to me, and I would inflate their egos for three months and then drop them like a bad habit. It was very upsetting because I felt as though I was preying on people. The whole thing was turning my stomach.
The timing was good because the record labels collapsed around then, which meant people were making CDs in their basements. There was a lot of poor-quality material out there, and I didn’t even want to deal with it. I was looking for something else to do when my husband said, “You know what I think you need? I think you need to have a past-life regression.”
It’s not usually the husband who suggests that. It’s usually the wife.
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: I know! Isn’t that interesting? I even had a background in psychology—I was trained as a psychiatric technician—but I had never thought about it.
Sure enough, I found somebody wonderful and had a past-life regression, which was very insightful. But the biggest thing I took away from it was, “I can do that. I know how to do that in my bones.”
I think that recognition itself was probably some kind of past-life memory. Hypnotherapy is more than 6,000 years old, even according to accepted historical timelines. If you believe in antediluvian or pre-Ice Age civilizations, it’s probably much older than that.
I came away knowing this was something I could do, that I would love it, and that I would be able to help people. I also wouldn’t have to return to university for 10 years, which was a factor. I have a bachelor’s degree, but this was specialized training I could complete in a relatively painless way.
As soon as I received my accreditations, I began working for the Ontario Hypnosis Center, which was established by my mentor, Dr. Georgina Cannon. She is still doing her work, and I just love her. She’s no relation to Dolores Cannon.
At the time, Georgina was one of the few true experts in past-life regression. Shirley MacLaine and others were coming to the center, so it was on the metaphysical map, you might say. I eventually became certified in all that metaphysical regression work, and I did it fairly quickly.
About once a month, someone would call and say, “I believe I may have had an encounter with an alien being,” or, “I’m missing time. I don’t know what happened for six hours. There’s nothing wrong with me—I don’t even drink.” They were reporting these anomalous experiences.
None of the other hypnotherapists wanted to touch this work with a ten-foot pole. But I said, “You know what? I believe these people. I believe most of them are telling the truth.”

Before we go further down that road, could you describe the spectrum of hypnosis? Many people think of everything from hypnosis at the county fair to past-life regression. What would be considered hypnosis?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: As I said, hypnosis is extremely ancient. In the modern era, Sigmund Freud was well known for using hypnosis to bypass the conscious mind during a very repressed period in history.
The basic principle of hypnosis is very powerful but also quite simple. If you can get the body relaxed enough, that little doorway, gate, or curtain between the conscious and subconscious minds simply evaporates. The ancient Greeks didn’t bother with relaxing conversation—they handed the patient a large opiated drink as soon as they arrived. They had a very different approach.
These days, I use conversation and relaxation techniques to help the body relax deeply enough to access the subconscious mind. When I can reach the subconscious, that’s where—if I’m practicing conventional hypnosis—I can disrupt negative behaviors and help create new neural pathways.
In that sense, hypnosis is very symptom-driven and quite different from behavioral psychology, although I am about to become certified as a psychotherapist. Regression generally involves a deeper trance than the alpha state we usually work in during garden-variety hypnosis.
The theta state is really what we’re seeking. That’s about as deep as you can go without becoming unconscious, which is the delta state. We don’t want that. We want to keep you deeply relaxed but not asleep because, during regression work, the client needs to speak to me. We keep you in that zone, if you will.
The professional designations depend on a person’s previous training. I can only speak about how it works in Canada, but if you have a related discipline—as I mentioned, I’m also a psychiatric technician in the United States—you may call yourself a hypnotherapist. If someone doesn’t have an adjacent medical discipline, they are called a hypnotist or consulting hypnotist.
Stage hypnosis is an entirely different thing. It begins with gathering a group of highly receptive people, and there are all kinds of ways stage hypnotists do that. But there’s no healing or probing involved—it’s based on gimmicks.
I can do all of that too. Years ago, when I was trying to drum up business for my own clinic, I would give talks and have people raising their arms and doing those kinds of things. But that doesn’t have anything to do with the real work.
The real work allows a patient to achieve a clear view of what occurred—whether they are exploring missing time or trying to see an event more clearly—and then process and release it with full knowledge.
Could that regression involve either this lifetime or another lifetime?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: Yes. I adapted standard past-life regression techniques to work with experiencers, so I certainly didn’t reinvent the wheel. Most contemporary hypnotherapists follow the path of Michael Newton, who was one of the major figures in the field. We’re also Ericksonian hypnotherapists, as in Milton Erickson.
There are very firm guidelines. Past-life regression, as I was taught, followed a strict format, and I simply adjusted it to work with experiencers. It is a hypnotic process, and it is a deep process.
You’re probably familiar with what I call ground zero of ufology: the Betty and Barney Hill case.
Tell me more.
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: Betty and Barney Hill were an interracial couple in the 1950s. She was a social worker, and he worked in an administrative position for the post office.
They were returning from a holiday in Montreal, traveling along a very dark, forested route through Maine and eventually into Massachusetts, where they lived. At some point during the trip, they experienced what is known as missing time. They lost six or seven hours. When they arrived home, it was dawn, although it should have been around midnight or one in the morning.
There are some excellent books about this incident because it’s really bloody amazing. The Interrupted Journey explores their story, and Stanton Friedman and Kathleen Marden also wrote about the case. Kathleen is Betty’s niece.
After the incident, Betty and Barney began experiencing deeply upsetting psychological and physiological symptoms often associated with PTSD. I would describe it as a very specific kind of PTSD. There was also physical evidence: Betty found an unknown fluid on her dress, and round spots of unknown origin appeared on their car.
They suffered for around two years with repressed memories and fear before deciding to work with a psychiatrist named Dr. Benjamin Simon. His specialty was what they called “battle fatigue” at the time—essentially PTSD. That was probably why they were drawn to him, along with the fact that he used hypnosis. In those days, only psychiatrists were allowed to use it.
What Dr. Simon did would be considered horrendously bad medical practice today. He interviewed Betty and Barney separately and put them into trance separately. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but he wanted a clean slate so they wouldn’t cross-contaminate their stories.
He recorded everything, and those recordings are available online. They are bloodcurdling. I would encourage anyone interested in this particular incident to look up the Betty and Barney Hill tapes.
After they separately recounted these very traumatic events, Dr. Simon pushed everything back in. He essentially told them, “You’re not going to remember any of this.” When you listen to him, you wonder how he ever got anybody relaxed enough. He sounds like a circus barker—“Barnum & Bailey, come on in!”
Betty and Barney had the release of talking about their experiences, but there was no healing and no processing. In the end, he pushed it all back. They suffered greatly afterward, and Kathleen Marden said that her uncle, Barney Hill, was a broken man who never recovered from that traumatic event.
What are some of the common psychological or emotional experiences among the people you assist? Do they remember what happened, or do most people only have partial memories? Talk me through that process.
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: First of all, I usually don’t work with anyone unless they have at least a partial memory.

So you’re not digging for something that doesn’t already exist?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: No. There are very few of them, but some people are confabulators. For whatever reason, they might call me—or perhaps they’re mentally unbalanced and genuinely believe something happened.
By law, I’m forbidden from using regression techniques or hypnosis with anyone who has been diagnosed with a severe mental disorder. I’m not talking about depression or anxiety; I mean something serious, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or borderline personality disorder. When someone first contacts me, it’s very important that I conduct a thorough intake. After talking with these people, I usually understand what is happening.
Most people who come to me with these memories are in midlife. I believe the reason—and I think research supports this—is that memory blocks, whether engineered by ETs or by one of our Black Ops programs, don’t last for more than 25 years.
That is one reason people become motivated to investigate what happened and perhaps see a hypnotherapist. They begin having flashbacks, usually visual ones, or dreams that may be even more revealing.
The people who come to me represent a wide variety of professions. This phenomenon knows no specific ethnicity or religious affiliation, and it has nothing to do with financial success. I’ve worked with everyone from judges, political figures, and medical doctors to individuals who can barely hold things together and are living on the dole. The range is that diverse.
If you were to ask me about the one characteristic that seems to connect these people, I would have to say psychic ability. My feeling is that many civilizations, especially those that have been around much longer than we have, communicate primarily through telepathy.
It’s not that they can’t necessarily speak; telepathy is simply faster than talking. It’s instant communication—something we now have a small taste of with the internet. I think these are training wheels. Perhaps every civilization has gone through something like this—a phase that prepares us for the idea of mind-to-mind communication.
I think it’s easier for many beings, especially benevolent ones, to communicate telepathically than to deal with language. A good analogy would be to imagine that you’re Jane Goodall in some exotic part of the world and you discover an unknown simian species. Around 10% of that population has humanoid esophageal formations and can actually speak. Wouldn’t you spend your time working with the 10% that can communicate? I have a feeling that has an awful lot to do with it.
The ETs may also be looking at bloodlines. We know that every brain has a unique energetic signal, so any advanced culture can find whomever they want. The idea that they need to use tracking dots—or that you can keep them away by wearing tinfoil—is absurd. If they want to find you, they’re going to find you because you’re putting out a signal.
The commonality I’m hearing is that these individuals have some form of psychic ability, whether they’ve embraced it or not. Do they tend to embrace it more after these experiences, or do some people try to shut it down?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: By the time someone comes to me—and this reflects the sad state of mental healthcare—I’m usually what we call in America “the last-chance Texaco.” They’ve probably already had MRIs and been treated with psychiatric medications. All of that has usually happened.
By the time they see me, they’re experiencing a kind of Occam’s razor. They’ve examined every other possibility, so what once seemed impossible begins to appear obvious.
Even before we get into hypnosis, simply talking with them reveals a great deal. I don’t know if there is such a thing as someone who has had only one encounter. We always go further and further back and find incidents from childhood. We’re looking at people who have been observed, monitored, or helped—however you choose to describe it—for most of their lives.
When I start asking questions, I would say that 99.9% of the people who come to me because they believe they’ve had an ET encounter have also experienced a series of metaphysical events throughout their lives. It’s “as above, so below.” It’s all one thing.
The ability to tune into alternative vibrations is something we all possess, but I think it may be a little like musical ability. You’ve got Whitney Houston, and then you’ve got Lou Costello. There’s an enormous range in the level of talent people may have for something. It seems logical that, in attempting to communicate, these beings would look for the path of least resistance.
This also connects to the interlife, which is another type of regression I practice. It explores where we go, what we do, and what we experience between lives—the life between lives. This is a process largely founded by Michael Newton.
Sometimes, entirely out of the blue and with no apparent connection, a life-between-lives regression reveals that agreements were made. There are people of incredible compassion who wanted to “be here now,” as the expression goes, because I believe we’re on the cusp of a transition into a higher vibrational level.
That doesn’t mean everything will suddenly shift. People experience their own realities. But based on what some of the people I work with have been telling me, I believe we’ve crossed a threshold where more than 50% of the people on this planet are awake.
It’s people like you who are helping to make that possible. You’re like a midwife of disclosure and spirituality. You’re fulfilling an important role, and you may have agreed to take the specific journey that prepared you, in all kinds of ways, for what you do now.
That’s interesting. I experienced regression therapy for the first time in September or October of last year. I was dealing with anticipatory grief related to some health issues my parents were facing. I had interviewed a regression therapist here on the show named Steve Burgess, who is based in the UK.
He came to our studio here in Southern California and conducted a group session. I asked him, “Steve, I’ve never thought about this before, but could regression therapy help me with some of the grief I’m experiencing?” He said it might, but he was busy for the next few weeks, so he referred me to one of his associates, a woman named Fil Woodhouse in the UK. We began meeting over Zoom, and I had a couple of great sessions that helped me process some of these things.
During the third session, I spontaneously began channeling. It simply started coming out of me. About a year and a half earlier, I had begun spontaneously channeling with plant medicine, but I had never been able to do it without the medicine. Fil took me to a place where it began happening spontaneously, and I was shocked. Have you also had clients begin channeling other beings?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: Yes, absolutely. The first time I experienced that with a client must have been around 20 years ago, and it really threw me for a loop. But now, it’s almost the objective of our work together.
Once we clear away any disturbances or fears, there is usually a key entity involved, similar to the way Darryl Anka communicates with Bashar. There is often some kind of relationship—almost like a mentorship. I haven’t heard many people discuss this, but I encounter it frequently.
There may be a specific being who has been with that person since childhood and has even allowed itself to be seen. Because of that relationship, deep communication is often possible.
When the client is ready, I’ll usually begin by saying, “Why don’t you ask so-and-so this question?” That’s how we get the mechanism going. If we’re fortunate, the being is then able to truly speak through the person.
This is a kind of soft-core possession, although it’s controlled within my office. When I’ve seen Bashar come through Darryl Anka, Darryl undergoes physical changes. It really looks as though Bashar is entering his physicality. I would have to ask Darryl what it feels like, but that is how it appears.
With my clients, the person usually doesn’t adopt an unusual physicality. They may sit differently or suddenly straighten their posture. Sometimes, when someone is channeling in this way, I have the impression that I’m speaking to a taller being. I may even see another kind of form superimposed upon my client.
But the goal is information. The goal is to uplift humanity. I want people to feel positive rather than scurrying around in fear, because fear is the opposite of what I’ve heard from a wide variety of people.
Through MUFON—the Mutual UFO Network—and FREE Experiencers, the late Dr. Edgar Mitchell’s organization, I participated in a ten-year research program. I believe Ray Hernandez runs FREE now. He’s a great guy.
As part of that research, I conducted regression procedures with many people who had filed reports with MUFON. Not everyone wanted or warranted a regression, but we examined key cases. I couldn’t tell you exactly how many regressions I performed, but there were an awful lot of them.
After ten years, the studies were completed, and the results from the two organizations were remarkably similar, even though they involved different people. We found that only about 20% of all contact experiences were what we would call negative or frightening. The other 80% were benign, fascinating, or even ecstatic.
By and large, I believe that as we approach this shift, some type of doorway has opened. It may involve photonic energy, or we may be receiving codes—I don’t know. But I believe a wide variety of advanced, loving vibrations and beings—discarnate, incarnate, and interdimensional—are fascinated with us and doing everything they can to lift and help us.
It’s almost as though we were polluted by sin. That sounds so corny, and I don’t know exactly how to express it, but I believe negativity was given an opportunity to enter our being at some point in our deep history. We don’t have to worry about that anymore, however. We’re stepping into our transformer and moving toward the fifth dimension.
Because you’re a therapist, I assume you primarily interact with that 20%—the people who have had challenging experiences and are trying to understand and integrate them.
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: I think that’s very safe to say. Ironically, in my conventional day job, I work with a psychology firm that specializes in PTSD among police officers, EMTs, and other frontline workers who have seen the worst things anyone can see.
Perhaps all that experience working with PTSD helps me work with experiencers, because this is a very particular form of PTSD.

You’ll be joining us at the San Diego Transcendence Retreat on September 19 and 20, produced by our good friend Suzanne Ross. What can people expect from your presentation?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: My goodness, I’m so excited! First, I’ll present an overview of the abduction phenomenon and explain how I work with individuals who have had these experiences. I’ll discuss ancient history and some of the great founders in the field, such as John Mack. I hope to provide an interesting overview of the entire phenomenon and where we stand today.
I’m also hoping to conduct a group past-life regression, although that will depend on whether we can find an appropriate space. There are several factors involved, so I can’t promise it yet. But I will definitely be giving my presentation on the ET experience, and I’m really looking forward to it.
I lived in Los Angeles for years, and Mission Bay is like paradise. I can already feel the vibration lifting.
The question is, will you be singing for us?
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: Gosh, I wish I could! Maybe I’ll sit in with someone if there’s a little group.
You could incorporate a unique abduction song into your presentation.
Lesley Mitchell-Clarke: That’s right! I always wanted to work in the Star Wars bar. I think I may actually have worked in a few Star Wars bars back in the day.
