The StaarCon 5 AfterGlow is now over! Thank you to everyone who worked to make StaarCon 5 and our year-long AfterGlow wonderful. Now, we move on to StaarCast and StaarCon 6.

Please save the date! We are planning to hold StaarCon 6 on October 2, 3, and 4, 2026, in Palm Beach County, Florida. Stay tuned for announcements coming soon. We are working to deliver the same value you expect from StaarCon at a more affordable price.

At StaarCon 6, you can expect many opportunities for hands-on learning, a lot of fun, and the joy of gathering with your community for support, fellowship, and personal and professional development.

We will also have our Marketplace, with exciting vendors and opportunities for readings. As we did last year, the Marketplace will be open to the public as well as conference attendees.

The StaarCon 5 AfterGlow ends on Monday. Look for exciting announcements about our new online platform, StaarCast, coming soon. And, expect an announcement about StaarCon 6, coming to you this Autumn in South Florida!

We have two final lounge events this week before we say goodbye to StaarCon 5 and the Accelevents platform that has hosted us for the past five years.

On Thursday, January 22, at 7 pm ET, join us for Spirit Circle: A Modern Day Séance with Kimberly Scheurer. Each person who attends will receive a message from spirit.

On Saturday, January 24, at 5:30 pm ET, it’s time for a StaarCon 5 Wrap-up with Serena Fox and Christiana Gaudet. Bring your cards and join us for conversation, divination, fellowship, and planning and goal-setting for what comes next.

The last recording has been recovered from Accelevents, and the process of editing and repairing the video has begun.

Beta testing will start soon, and access will be offered to prior ticket holders and volunteers. Look for an email from StaarCast Community.

StaarCon News for January 14th

Since the end of StaarCon 5 last January, we have been discussing the changes and improvements we want to make, having learned a great deal over the past five years. There is so much about StaarCon that is unique, precious, and valuable, which we want to preserve and enhance. Other aspects are ready for change.

One significant change many of you have requested is to move to a different time of year. We are exploring the possibility of holding StaarCon 6 in the autumn of 2026. We will have firm details for you before the end of this month!

The StaarCon 5 AfterGlow draws to a close this month. Look for some pop-up lounge sessions before then, and make sure you join Kimberly Scheurer for a final Spirit Circle on Thursday, January 22, at 7 pm.

This week, the uploads continue as we build the new virtual website.

Several of the issues we previously experienced will be corrected as much as possible in the uploaded videos. This week, extensive work was completed on the StaarCon 2024 Bardic Circle, including traditional sea shanties by Dame Darcy, a true ghost story by Kamille Barnes and Stacey Williams-Ng, a stand-up comedy performance by Ciro Marchetti, tarot improv by Mitchell Osborn, and West African song and dance by Dionne C. Monsanto. The audio isn’t perfect, but the show is worth watching!

The site will open once the last video has been installed. Again, thanks for your patience!

We are in the final weeks of the StaarCon 5 AfterGlow. Many people considered StaarCon 5 the best StaarCon to date. Please make sure to watch the recordings before they are removed from Accelevents.

We will share announcements about StaarCon 6 shortly and will host at least two more lounge events on Accelevents before the end of the AfterGlow. Please mark your calendars for the final Spirit Circle with Kimberly Scheurer on Thursday, November 22, at 7 pm.

This past week, our team continued to upload the vast library of videos created by StaarCon presenters and artists. The site will open when the videos are available. Beta testers will soon receive instructions on how to enter the member website.

We have less than a month left in the StaarCon 5 AfterGlow. Are there lounge events you would like to see or offer before the end of the AfterGlow on January 26?

We expect to make announcements about tickets for StaarCast and our next in-person gathering early in 2026.

As we begin a new year, we are grateful for our StaarCon community and look forward to our new platform and new opportunities to gather and learn in 2026.

This week, the entire StaarCon video library is uploading to its new home on StaarCast! More than 300 gigabytes of video from our past conferences will be available upon completion of this phase of the project.

The remaining beta testers should receive their invitations in the next few weeks. Thanks again for your patience.

Happy Holidays to our entire StaarCon community!

The StaarCon 5 AfterGlow ends on January 26, 2026. Please plan to watch all the conference presentations before then. We will also have a few lounge sessions before the end as well.

I want to thank the teachers who have shared their wisdom with us this year, both at the conference and in the lounge sessions throughout the year. 2026 will bring significant changes for StaarCon that I think we will all enjoy and appreciate.

The development team is installing the final finishing touches to the website! Data transfer from Accelevents to the new site is proceeding as planned, and beta testers should receive their invitations within the next few weeks.

In the months after the StaarCast site opens, we will offer prior speakers the option to make some of their recorded presentations available to site members via a pay-per-view purchase. Details of the program will be provided soon.

A fairy looking forward to StaarCon 6.
