What's Included

Every Element Designed With Intent

Live SkyWatch Sessions

Three guided night-sky observation sessions using the structured Open Sky Contact Protocols (OSCP), professional equipment, and 15 years of facilitation experience — designed to maximise real sighting potential.

UFO History Masterclass

A comprehensive, evidence-based briefing covering the most compelling documented cases, declassified government files, whistleblower testimony, and the full global disclosure timeline.

Personal Growth & Breakthrough Workshops

Facilitated by a professionally certified coach with hundreds of clients transformed. Sessions surface limiting beliefs, raise your frequency, and create the inner openness that consistently correlates with contact experiences.

Guided Meditations

Daily meditations crafted to bring the group into coherent, elevated states — creating the inner conditions that consistently correlate with increased sighting activity.

Documentary Screening

A curated documentary screening covering landmark cases, government testimony, and scientific research — contextualising what you are about to experience in the field.

What Does the Future Look Like?

A dedicated session exploring the trajectory of disclosure, contact, and human consciousness evolution — drawing on current geopolitical developments and patterns from contact research.

What to Expect

More Than a Sighting.
A Complete Transformation.

These retreats are not simply about looking up and seeing something extraordinary, though that will most likely happen. They are about who you become in the process. Every Open Skies retreat is as much an inner journey as it is an outer one. Through intentional fieldwork, deep personal development sessions, and the kind of shared awe that only comes from witnessing the unexplained together, participants consistently leave with clarity, openness, and aliveness that extends far beyond the experience itself. You will not just see something you cannot explain. You will return home expanded, more present, more purposeful, and more awake to the extraordinary nature of your own life.

Origin Story

A Lifelong Witness
to the Unexplained

For over 15 years, I have been quietly doing what most people deem to be impossible or highly improbable. I have intentionally been making positive contact with non-human intelligence. Not from a place of fear, but from a place of deep curiosity, rigorous observation, and an open, grounded mind.

I have experienced dozens of encounters and recorded many on video and in photographs, across continents, across conditions, and across years of consistent fieldwork. I have facilitated dozens of Open Skies retreats, guiding hundreds of people through their first direct experience with something that is only starting to be explained by conventional science.

Now, back in the breathtaking landscapes of Cape Town and the Western Cape, I am bringing this work home, and I am inviting you to be part of it. Ready for contact? Join our next retreat.

Evidence Archive

15 Years.
Documented.

These are not rumours or stories passed down third-hand. Over 15 years of intentional fieldwork, dozens of encounters, and many experiences captured on video, in photographs, and in detailed field logs. Below is a small selection from the personal archive.

White Spheres — Daylight Formation & Evening Follow-up

Standing outside during the Global Contact Weekend, I observed a group of white spherical objects moving in and around each other in a completely windless sky. Through the lens of a Canon 1000D, six to seven objects appeared out of nowhere — a remarkable mid-day appearance. Dozens of photographs were captured across the sighting. That evening, a second separate sighting occurred — one of the most significant encounters I had experienced to that point. A deeply humbling day.

Shape-Shifting Metallic Object — Deer Park Forest

My fiancée and I were walking through Deer Park Forest on a beautiful, still morning. I set a quiet intention to connect with our galactic family. On the way down, the strangest object I have ever seen appeared — morphing and changing shape every two to three seconds, reflecting a bright metallic light back toward us. Each photograph in this series is taken three seconds apart. There was no wind. At first I thought it might be two eagles tangled together, then perhaps cardboard caught in a current — but the sky was completely still and the shape transformations were unlike anything natural. After a few moments, it was gone.

Gold Orb — Stationary for 20 Minutes in Strong Wind

Timothy, a friend and fellow researcher, and I set up in the garden during the afternoon for a structured SkyWatch exercise. Within minutes, a bright gold object appeared out of nowhere — hovering directly above us. Cape Town was experiencing strong gusts that day, yet the object was entirely unaffected. It held its position for a full 20 minutes before vanishing upward and out of sight. The photographs below show the object across the duration of the sighting.

Luminosity Response, 10+ Craft & Twin Ship Formation

Acting on a sudden intuitive impulse, I stepped outside still holding the kitchen door — and looked up to find a star-like object gliding directly overhead. Within seconds, it acknowledged the encounter: it lit up brighter than Jupiter, then dimmed, and accelerated vertically out of sight. What followed was extraordinary — over 10 craft arrived from multiple directions, one after another, each with the characteristic irregular flash patterns. The evening concluded with a rare twin-craft formation, two objects moving southward together. My fiancée witnessed the full main event. It felt, unambiguously, like a gift.

These logs represent just a handful of dozens of documented experiences spanning 15 years of intentional fieldwork. Every retreat participant gains access to the full archive — and the opportunity to add their own entry.

Global Context

The World Is Waking Up.
The Evidence Is Undeniable.

We are living through a pivotal moment. Governments that spent decades dismissing this subject are now confirming its reality — publicly, on record. This is not fringe. This is history unfolding in real time.

US Congress · 2023
Historic UAP Hearing: Former Intelligence Officials Testify Under Oath

David Grusch, a decorated intelligence officer, testified before Congress that the US government has retrieved non-human craft and biological material — the most significant public statement in modern history on this topic.

NASA · 2023
NASA Establishes Dedicated UAP Research Division

For the first time in its history, NASA formally acknowledged UAP as a subject worthy of scientific study, establishing a dedicated research team and calling for open, transparent data collection.

Pentagon · 2022–2024
AARO Confirms Hundreds of Unresolved UAP Cases on Record

The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has publicly confirmed that hundreds of encounters by military personnel remain unexplained — with objects exhibiting capabilities beyond known human technology.

Mexico Congress · 2023
Non-Human Specimens Presented Before Mexican Legislature

Researcher Jaime Maussan presented alleged non-human biological specimens before Mexico's Congress in an unprecedented public session, sparking global debate and scientific scrutiny.

UK & EU Governments · Ongoing
European Nations Accelerate UAP Transparency Initiatives

Peer-Reviewed UAP Research Enters Mainstream Journals

Academic institutions and peer-reviewed journals have begun publishing serious UAP research, marking a cultural shift in how the scientific establishment approaches a subject long dismissed as taboo.

Future Perspective

What Comes Next

The next decade will redefine what it means to be human. Based on current disclosure trajectories, contact research, and geopolitical developments, here is what the evidence suggests is coming.

Now — 2026
The Disclosure Window

Government and institutional disclosure is accelerating. Congressional hearings, declassified documents, and military testimony are shifting the narrative from "does it exist" to "what does it mean." The window of managed revelation is open — and narrowing.

2026 — 2030
Scientific & Cultural Integration

As official confirmation solidifies, mainstream science, theology, philosophy, and education will begin the enormous task of integrating this reality. Expect new frameworks, new questions, and extraordinary breakthroughs in propulsion, energy, and consciousness science.

2030 & Beyond
A New Chapter for Humanity

Contact — whether acknowledged or direct — will catalyse a civilisational shift. Those who have already begun their inner preparation, expanded their perception, and faced the question honestly will be equipped to lead, guide, and thrive in what comes next.
