What if human consciousness extends far beyond the limitations of our five physical senses? What if intuition, spiritual awareness, and our connection to the greater universe are aspects of human potential that we have only begun to understand?

These intriguing questions lie at the heart of Beyond The 5 Senses, an upcoming virtual presentation featuring internationally recognized Australian researcher, author, and speaker Mary T. Rodwell, hosted by Portal to Ascension on Saturday, October 10, 2026 at 7:00PM (EST).

Mary Rodwell has spent more than three decades exploring extraordinary human experiences, particularly accounts involving extraterrestrial contact, non-human intelligences, and expanded states of consciousness. A former nurse, midwife, and professional counsellor, she is also the founder of the Australian Close Encounter Resource Network (ACERN), an organization established in 1997 to provide information and support to individuals reporting unusual contact and paranormal experiences.

Through her research, lectures, documentaries, and internationally recognized books, including Awakening: How Extraterrestrial Contact Can Transform Your Life and The New Human: Awakening to Our Cosmic Heritage, Mary invites audiences to reconsider conventional interpretations of human consciousness, identity, and our possible relationship with other intelligences.

On Wednesday, October 7, Mary was a special guest of The Starseeds and Lightworkers Collective, where she presented The New Human: Awakening to Our Cosmic Heritage. During this fascinating exploration, she discussed her research into extraterrestrial contact experiences, the emergence of what she describes as a new generation of highly intuitive individuals, and the possibility that humanity is undergoing a profound transformation in consciousness.

Her upcoming presentation, Beyond The 5 Senses, offers an opportunity to further explore and expand upon these thought-provoking themes.

Mary will examine the challenges many people face when attempting to understand unusual experiences, intuitive impressions, and what they perceive as communication from higher dimensions or non-human intelligences. Through personal insights and practical suggestions, she will address questions surrounding spiritual discernment, intuitive awareness, spirit guides, and connecting with one's higher self.

How can we distinguish imagination from experiences that feel genuinely meaningful? What role might intuition play in understanding our personal reality? And how can individuals explore these possibilities while remaining grounded, thoughtful, and discerning?

The event is presented by the company, Portal to Ascension, a consciousness-focused media and event organization founded by Neil Gaur in 2008. Through conferences, workshops, webinars, and educational programming, the organization brings together international speakers and researchers exploring spirituality, ancient civilizations, extraterrestrial life, and the mysteries of human existence.

For those inspired by Mary's recent presentation with our Collective, this upcoming gathering provides an opportunity to continue the conversation, explore new perspectives, and reflect upon the extraordinary possibilities of human consciousness.
