Free Lecture: 'STATE OF THE UNIVERSE'- Merrimack, NH

A free lecture with Marconics Initiate Teacher Karina Munoz explores the state of the universe and a continuing planetary shift, offering guidance on accessing and integrating recently anchored Sophianic frequencies of the Mother Arc and Aqua Ray Magnetics to support higher levels of ascension. The talk explains why familiar 3D lightbody and seven-chakra approaches are viewed as outdated in this context and describes the need to upgrade into an ascending 5D body template. Expect insights on maintaining a telepathic link with a future ascended self to stay on course and avoid repeating karmic patterns after multiple prior ascension attempts. The vision presented includes moving beyond a fallen matrix in this lifetime, reconnecting with the Ascension Earth time matrix, and helping fellow Lightworkers through the Marconics pathway. A complimentary sample of Marconics Ascension Energy will be offered, described as full-spectrum energy that accelerates the release of karmic residue, supports new DNA activations, raises vibration, and deepens connection to Source or Spirit. Themes include thriving within an Avatar Consciousness Matrix, reclaiming one’s wings through the sacred union of Christos and Sophia frequencies, and embodying sovereignty as a co-creator.

His work with Punch Brothers garnered a Grammy for Best Folk Album for All Ashore. He also performs with the Grammy-nominated bluegrass group Mighty Poplar and co-hosts The Energy Curfew Music Hour, a Chris Thile and Punch Brothers musical variety podcast from Audible that has been recognized by the Webby Awards and the Signal Awards.

A versatile multi-instrumentalist on fiddle, banjo, guitar, and mandolin, he moves easily beyond bluegrass while remaining rooted in its tradition. Renowned for improvisation that elevates the music rather than overtaking it, he has collaborated with Plant Krauss, Diana Krall, Lyle Lovett, Béla Fleck, Steven Tyler, and Elvis Costello.
