The 8th International Dolphin and Whale Conference

Paris- Palais des Congrès de Versailles ­ November 1999

Conferences ­ Films ­ Music



We arrive at a crucial point in the development of Humanity. We are not really human yet because our concious is still asleep. In the coming years our conscience will wake up and then beings and governments will need deeply to question themselves. All the great civilisations, which have preceeded us, knew that dolphins and whales always play a fundamental role in our civilisation. They offer us an example of community based on peace, freedom, play and love. Drawing inspiration, even remotely, from our marine cousins can help us to live peacefully through the transformations which have already start in each of us.

The 8th International Dolphin and Whale Conference will be held on November 12th 13th and 14th 1999 near the Château de Versailles and its magnificent park. The Palais des Congrès is situated only 50 meters from the gates of the park and 20 minutes by train from the center of Paris (Saint-Michel). This hall can hold 1250 participants and all the conferences will be translated into English and/or French simultaneously.
 
 


Conference Subjects

Theme: All as One

Sub-theme : Year 2000, time to care for our evolution.

Since the 12 years that ICERC has been searching for dolphin and whale messages, our attention has been focused on 4 principal subjects.
 

1 ­ The study of dolphins and whales in their natural environment

In a practical manner, what can we learn from dolphins and whales? Watching the cetaceans' daily life in their natural habitat is a quasi-inexhaustible source of learning. If women and men of this planet were inspired even remotely by the way of life of their marine cousins, this would speed up their evolution towards a really human being.


2 ­ Tribes of the Earth "Stories and legends"

Memories of certain ancient tribes can bring us some missing pieces from the puzzle formed by the great mysteries of the creation. Atlantis Lemurians Are these stories true? Or are we faced with legends? Make your choice!


3 ­ The importance of the recognition, the study and the integration by western culture of the "energetic" dimensions of the existence

The vibrating level of the vital energy of a person increases during a meeting with a dolphin or a whale. Then the human finds himself in a sort of Meditation State that is extremely beneficial for his health, his well being and the evolution of his conscious... Our marine cousins are in this state 90 % of their time. It seems that this state permits cetaceans to use all of their brainpower. What do cetaceans use their intelligence for? Why do women and men today only use 5 to 10 % of their brain? What could they use the remaining 90 % for? What is the vital energy ?


4 ­ The dolphin awakes in us a desire for a greater liberty

How could the human race speed up their evolution towards these beings free, autonomous and independent?


Message from the new-age to the old-age.

The first event of the new millenium party!

Thursday November 11th , one day before the start of the Conference children, representatives of Tribes of the Earth and some I.C.E.R.C. speakers will come to give their message to the modern world, exactly fifty days before the year 2000 during a huge press conference. They will give their advice to the governments of the world to accelerate our evolution through a being more human.


Speakers invited are:

Dr John Lilly: He tried to teach English to dolphins for the American Government. Doing so, he discovered that there is a way to communicate beyond words. Inventor of the flotation tank, his work inspired Robert MerleĀŒs book "Un animal doué de raison" and the film "Altered States" directed by Ken Russel.

Wade Doak: Author of several works including "Dolphin Ambassador" he has methodically collected for more than 20 years the accounts coming from the four corners of the planet about human cetacean meetings.

Dr Horace Dobbs: Founder of the "International Dolphin Watch" this English chemist discovered that a single contact with the energy of dolphins can have more impact than a long traditional cure.

Jim Nollman: He communicates with cetaceans as well as with other animals by playing music to them in their natural habitat. He is also the author of numerous books and CD.

Drunvalo Melchizedech: (Subject to confirmation) This exceptional lecturer will make us discover the point of view of the "new age" on these questions. He will give us his advice as to the place that the cetaceans held in the evolution of the human being as well as for the unprecedented events which will unfold from now until 2012, and which will permit the human to attain a new level of conscience. Numerous books have been written on the work of Drunvalo. Among these "Nothing in this book is true, but it is exactly how things are." by Bob Frissel.

Richard O¹Barry: He was the former head trainer for the Flipper television series. His life changed when one of the dolphins consciously killed itself by stopping to breathe. Since that day he has consecrated his life to the liberation and then to the rehabilitation of captive dolphins to the wild life. He was featured in a recent documentary series "The Blue Odyssey", the most watched programs in the history of the television in Belgium and England. He is presently working on the creation of a rehabilitation center in Europe.

Kote Lotah and Al Lul Koi North America Indians : They are both traditional doctors in their Tribes. They continue to live with the traditions of their clan. The clan of Lotah comes from the Dolphin clan. Koy : "Stories and songs and the Ocean are great Teachers of the Earth. In these things are messages of the Natural Order of things. You can hear the Whales and Dolphins along with the Native Peoples cry for a safe environment, now that our paths cross so easily. Feelings are good to have. It means you have compassion or something and that is a good thing for Humans to have feelings. Don't be shy!"

Patrice Van Eersel: For a long time leading reporter for "Actuel" magazine, he is today the chief editor of the revue "Nouvelles clés" ­ a magazine about the inner ecology ­ and he also directs "Clés", a collection published by Albin Michel. His investigations regularly bring him to the borderline of the ongoing transformation in the world. He is in particular the author of the works "La Source Noire" and "La Source Blanche" as well as a fabulous investigation into the cetaceans' enigma "The Fifth Dream".

Jade and Simon (Feral from Australia): Musicians. As well as sharing with us their evolving music, they will talk about the Australian alternative society and the way that they live in harmony with nature.

Jacques Mayol: (Subject to confirmation) He is officially the first man to have exceeded a depth of 100 meters on apnea. His life inspired the film "The Big Blue" directed by Luc Besson. By his work, he proves to scientific world the importance of certain techniques such as Yoga that increases the vital energy in the body. It is to be noted that for the traditional specialists, it is "scientifically impossible" to descend to such a depth without artificial equipment. Jacques Mayol is the author of the book "Homo Delphinus".

Dr Michel Odent: Pioneer of non-violent child birth, whose underwater birth is an important step.

Yves and Isabelle Desmedt: In their association "Aquarius" they promote the work of Dr Hermann Ponette at Ostend Maternity Hospital in Belgium. More than 2500 children have already been born underwater because of their joint efforts. They assure the antenatal and postnatal support.

André Van Lysebeth: Yoga teacher. Van Lysebeth will permit us to better understand the vital energy concept. He will initiates us to the prana-yogic breathing which is the same as that practced by dolphins and whales. The different levels of conscience that we can have depends directly on the way we breathe. His works have inspired the theories that Jacques Mayol develops in his book "Homo Delphinus".

Yann Thibault: Therapist who has created an "evolutionary" method for working his emotions in an efficient manner, autonomous and fast. He also gives seminars on the higher self. To work his emotions and to connect with your higher self is very important to become free as a dolphin and from there, continue our evolution.

In his own words : "there are names that have been forgotten, there are memories that have been swept away by the dust of events. We must bring the dream back to our souls and the memory back to our eyes. In the ancient tradition of our people, we not only used medecine to heal, we not only used the gentle word and the even gentler touch, we also used INDABA ­ the story."

Auntie Pearl King: (Aborigine of Australia): She will tell us the stories and legends of her Tribe as to the links that tie them to the cetaceans.

Dolphins Extraterrestrials Angels, his first book on non-human sentience has become something of a classic since it was published in 1984. Timothy says : "The dolphins opened up for me the reality of intelligent, non-human life in the universe, and led directly to encounters with extraterrestrial entities."

Takako Iwatani: Founder of ICERC Japan. A part of their work consists in convincing the whale hunters to transform the use of their boats into cruises for photographic safaris. In this aim, they bring these fishers to swim with cetaceans and it works!!!

Kamalla Hope-Campbell: Founder in 1987 of ICERC in Australia. She had a dream in which a whale asked her to create this association and organize the International Dolphin and Whale Conferences. One of her aims was to reunite specialists from several different disciplines in order that they can, together, assemble the pieces of the puzzle from the dolphin and whale messages.


We are always seeking representatives of the Maoris from the Pacific, as well as the Dogons from Mali. The Dogons from Mali will be sharing with us their stories and legends about the Sirius Constellation, where dolphins and whales are the protagonists.

The organisers:

This event is organised by the European branch of the International Cetacean Education and Research Centre. ICERC is a non-profit Association. ICERC is pronounced "I search" in English which means "I am searching for". Through our International Dolphin and Whale Conferences, we are searching for practical solutions so that humans beings can live in Peace, Love and Harmony with the cetaceans, as well as all "living species". We believe that if we are inspired even remotely by the life of our marine cousins this can deeply help us in this work. Our approach is multidisciplinary because it seems to us that it is the only method to face in an efficient manner, the big challenges of our evolution.We try to condemn nothing or no one because we believe that we form a whole in which every thing has its reason to exist. In our association nobody receives a salary, not even the speakers.

The previous conferences were held in Australia, the United States (Hawaii), Japan and Belgium (Brussels).
