Beyond Contact

The Channel Panel is a live consciousness and channeling conference that brings together many of the world's most respected trance channelers, spiritual teachers, and consciousness researchers for a powerful in-person event.

The organization was established to support the expansion of human consciousness and multidimensional awareness through keynotes, workshops, and Q&A sessions with leading channelers. Beyond Contact welcomes Darryl Anka (Bashar), Wendy Kennedy, Jamye Price, Marilyn Harper, Rob Gauthier, Pamela Aaralyn, Tyler Ellison, JJ Brighton, James Charles, Aurora Luna Star, and Yafi Yair.

Our events attract those drawn to channeling and higher-dimensional communication, consciousness and spiritual awakening, extraterrestrial contact and cosmic awareness, and meditation, healing, and personal transformation.

The Channel Panel hosts events in major U.S. locations from California to Florida and beyond, offering both in-person and select livestream experiences.

What is The Channel Panel?

The Channel Panel is a live consciousness and channeling conference that brings together many of the world's most respected trance channelers, spiritual teachers, and consciousness researchers for a powerful in-person event. Founded to expand human consciousness, it features renowned presenters including Darryl Anka (Bashar), Wendy Kennedy, and Jamye Price. The event attracts attendees interested in channeling, consciousness, extraterrestrial contact, and spiritual awakening.

When and where is Beyond Contact?

Beyond Contact runs Friday November 13 through Sunday November 15, 2026 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, 650 Okeechobee Boulevard, West Palm Beach, FL 33401.

What is included in the 3-Day Pass?

The 3-day pass provides full access to the main auditorium for the entire event and includes all channeling sessions with Q&A portions, but does not include workshops.

Are single-day tickets available?

No. Beyond Contact is sold as a full three-day pass only. Workshops and livestream access are ticketed separately.

What is included in a Workshop Ticket?

Workshops are break-off groups held in a separate breakout room away from the main auditorium. Each one comes in two formats. An in-person seat ($150, limited) puts you in the room, and includes that workshop's livestream and replay. A Workshop Livestream ($99) lets you watch from anywhere and is view only — you can join the guided meditations, but not the Q&A or other interactive parts.

If I purchase both a 3-day pass and a workshop, will I miss other presentations?

Workshops run at the same time as some main-stage sessions. Check the schedule for details before choosing a workshop.

Can I purchase a workshop pass without the 3-day pass?

Yes, though careful review is advised. Certain workshops may not feature actual channeling sessions.

Is every workshop a channeled session?

No. Some workshops are taught by the presenter directly rather than channeled. The workshop description on each presenter's page says which it is.

Will I receive a recording of the workshop?

Every workshop ticket — in person or livestream — includes that workshop's livestream, and replays stay available for at least 90 days after the event. The viewing link is emailed about 72 hours before the event begins.

Where is the event being held?

The Palm Beach County Convention Center, located at 650 Okeechobee Boulevard, West Palm Beach, FL 33401.

If I purchase a ticket but cannot attend, can I get a refund?

No, there are no refunds for any ticket types, but you won't lose what you paid. Up until the night before the event begins, the person who bought a ticket can turn it into account credit: sign in, open My Tickets, and choose "Can't attend? Turn this ticket into credit". Credit doesn't expire, and you can use it on any future Channel Panel ticket.

Will I get access to video playback?

Yes, and permanently. Both online attendees and 3-day pass holders get replay access. The viewing links you receive before the event keep working for at least 30 days afterwards, and a few weeks later we send fresh links that give you permanent access to the recordings. That covers the main stage. Workshop replays come with workshop tickets instead, and stay available for at least 90 days after the event.

Does an online ticket include workshops?

No. The 3-Day Livestream Pass covers the main stage only. Each workshop can be added as a Workshop Livestream, which is view only: you can join the guided meditations, but not the Q&A or other interactive parts. Links are emailed about 72 hours before the event begins, and replays stay available for at least 90 days afterwards.

What is the difference between an in-person workshop seat and a Workshop Livestream?

An in-person seat puts you in the breakout room at the venue, where you can take part in everything, including the Q&A — and it includes that workshop's livestream and replay. A Workshop Livestream is for watching from anywhere and is view only: you are welcome to join the guided meditations, but you cannot interact with the presenter during the Q&A or other interactive parts. If you will be at the venue, choose the in-person seat.

Can I ask questions during a Workshop Livestream?

No. Workshop livestreams are view only — you are welcome to join the guided meditations, but the Q&A and other interactive parts are for the people in the room.

When will I get my workshop livestream link?

About 72 hours before the event begins, by email to the address on your order. Check your spam folder, and if it has not arrived 48 hours before the event, email help@thechannelpanel.com. Replays stay available for at least 90 days after the event.

Does Darryl Anka's workshop include channeling?

No. Darryl Anka teaches this workshop personally — Bashar will not be channeled during the session, in person or on the livestream. To see Darryl channel Bashar, watch the main stage with the 3-Day Livestream Pass, or be there in person with a 3-Day Pass.

Can I volunteer for this event?

Yes. Interested volunteers should complete the form on the volunteer page. It may take several weeks to get through all applications.

What kind of questions can I ask at the Channel Panel?

There are no "right" questions.

You do not need to know anything about channeling, consciousness, or extraterrestrials to participate. Curiosity is enough.

Questions might explore:

Consciousness and Reality

• What is consciousness?
• Why do we dream?
• What is intuition?
• Why do we experience synchronicities?
• What happens when we die?
• Is reality fundamentally physical, mental, or something else entirely?

Being Human

• Why do we suffer?
• What is the purpose of emotions?
• What does it mean to live a meaningful life?
• How do we navigate fear and uncertainty?
• Why do relationships challenge us so deeply?
• What can difficult experiences teach us?

Humanity and the Future

• How might humanity change over the next century?
• What role could artificial intelligence play in our evolution?
• How would contact with non-human intelligence affect society?
• What values might be important for humanity moving forward?
• How do we create greater unity amidst diversity?

Science and the Universe

• Are we alone?
• How common might intelligent life be?
• What are time and space?
• How might consciousness relate to physics?
• What mysteries remain unanswered?

Spiritual and Philosophical Questions

• Why are we here?
• Is there such a thing as destiny?
• Do we have free will?
• What is love?
• Why does beauty move us?
• Are we individuals, or expressions of something larger?

Questions About Ourselves

• How do I trust myself more?
• How can I cultivate greater peace?
• How do I become a better listener?
• What beliefs am I holding onto that no longer serve me?
• How can I live with more authenticity and compassion?

Perhaps the most important thing to remember is this:

You are not expected to ask questions that impress anyone. You are not expected to ask "cosmic" questions.

Sometimes the deepest questions are the simplest:

• Why am I here?
• How can I love better?
• What am I afraid of?
• What does it mean to be human?
• Who are we becoming?

And perhaps, above all:

The Channel Panel is not a place where you are expected to have the answers—it is a place where you are invited to wonder. Because sometimes the quality of our lives is shaped less by the answers we possess, and more by the questions we are willing to ask.
