Heather will be joining an incredible lineup including Nick Pope, Pattie Negri, Lyle Blackburn, and Larry Flaxman for a weekend exploring UAP, ancient mysteries, the paranormal, and so much more in beautiful Eureka Springs, Arkansas, July 24 & 25, 2026.
She will give a talk on Demons, Gods, or Aliens? Why UAP, Entities, and Ancient Deities May Be the Same Phenomenon: An archaeological and comparative religion perspective on the convergence of ancient texts, modern encounters, and high-strangeness.
Heather will also be offering a separate workshop called: Write Like the Ancients: Create Your Own Clay Tablet: A hands-on workshop where participants learn the basics of cuneiform, the world's oldest writing system, used in ancient Mesopotamia over 5,000 years ago. Everyone creates their own clay tablet to take home.There will also be a collection of ethically sourced artifacts from my her collection, including a lapis lazuli cylinder seal, cuneiform tablets, and ancient figures, that brings the ancient world to life.
