Our 10th Annual "Picnic in the Park"
The ARC is hosting it's 10th Annual "Picnic in the Park" on Saturday, June 19th beginning at 4 PM at Rotary Park in Johnson City, Tennessee... The gathering will last until around 9 PM that evening... This event is FREE and open to the public and everyone is invited to join us on this year's Summer Solstice Weekend for a blessed "meeting of the minds"...
Each year, the organization has hosted these type of events to broaden the scope of our public outreach programs and to allow people from different levels of understanding and knowledge the opportunity to come together and discuss their views of reality, or other realities, and share in the camaraderie and fun of being together in a forum of open and like-mindedness...
We are still in planning for organized activities, talks, and presentations... Keep in mind that food will not be provided at the gathering... However, we have reserved the Norton Picnic Pavilion for use by the participants of the group... So make your plans now to bring a picnic lunch, or dinner and join us for this exciting and fun event in the park...
We will have a map to the Park available upon request shortly... If you would like more information, or directions to this year's Summer gathering please feel free to send us a message by email... The address is Director@AlternateRealities.orG
This event will replace our normal monthly meeting for June which is normally held on the 2nd Saturday of the month... Hope to see all of your there and remember, it takes ALL of you to make organizing these public events worthwhile... Feel free to forward this message on to anyone you feel would be interested in joining us for the festivities... No one will be excluded!!!

Organization Information and Details
Now a proud member of the Unicoi County Chamber of Commerce, "The Alternate Realities Center" is based in Southern Appalachia near Johnson City, which is located in upper East Tennessee. "The ARC" operates out of a small town called Unicoi and hosts monthly meetings as well as an annual conference. Also known as "The ARC", the organization performs serious study, research, and investigation of the Paranormal and the Metaphysical. Our goal is to sponsor leading-edge research into the potentials and powers of human consciousness and explore phenomena that do not necessarily fit conventional scientific models, while maintaining a strong and rigorous commitment to scientific methodology and procedures with efforts to focus on the Human equation...
"The ARC" is not a cult, single-cause institute, or political action group. However, the organization does consider the study of phenomena with unexplained origins which manifest themselves in the reality of this physical world to be of utmost importance to our further mental and spiritual development as a species in the cosmic scheme of life. Reality is not always quantifiable. Just because something can not be measured, cataloged, or photographed does not mean that it does not exist...
Although not exactly proven, yet theorized by known science, we assume that our Universe is one of many and that each Universe has many levels of existence; In other words, it is multiplanar. In this we may extrapolate that there could be many different 'realities'. Furthermore, the organization embraces and celebrates the individual differences of Human beings, recognizing that one individual's perception of the Universe may not be that of another's. "The ARC" sponsors public awareness events as a means by which we may acknowledge the complexity of the known Universe...
Our primary purpose is the attempt to present data and scientific evidence that will alter the 'paradigms' of our modern society. Those who are not familiar with this term will be happy to know that a 'paradigm', in its most basic sense, is a 'mental map'. It is the way we perceive, understand, and interpret the world around us. It may also be defined as the accepted 'truth' about the way all things are suppose to be, or behave...
Often, the accepted way of doing things, or the way we think about our world invokes frustration as it becomes no longer convenient, or appropriate to suit our immediate need. The desire for change often leads us to open our eyes, as well as our minds, and search beyond the accepted truth. When the act of looking 'outside the box' inspires a 'change of mind', we refer to this as a 'paradigm shift'...
The organization most certainly encourages individual exploration of both the 'outer' as well as the 'inner' world. Our focus is to promote and maintain global awareness and open mindedness, broadening our scope of acceptance as a species to what is possible in the Universe. In support of our purpose and goals "The ARC" can best be described by the organization's decade old motto... "People helping people to find the Truth"...

God's divine blessings to you and yours...
