Lyn Buchanan
Topic tBD
Bio: Leonard (Lyn) Buchanan, a founding member of IRVA and current board member since 2024, is the Executive Director of Problems>Solutions>Innovations (P>S>I), originally established in 1992 as a data analysis company.
Following the U.S. government’s declassification of its Remote Viewing project in 1995, Lyn transitioned P>S>I into a leading organization for Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) training and applications. As a former U.S. Army Sergeant First Class, Lyn served in the military’s psychic spying unit from 1984 to 1992, where he was a Remote Viewer, Trainer, and Database Manager.
Lyn’s unique career inspired elements of George Clooney’s character, Lyn Cassady, in the movie The Men Who Stare at Goats, which humorously explores the U.S. military’s experiments with psychic phenomena. With expertise in psychology, linguistics, and computer systems, Lyn has developed advanced techniques for CRV training and analysis, including error prediction and viewer profiling. His work continues to focus on applying CRV to real-world scenarios while striving to uncover its scientific foundations.
Pam Coronado
Stone Stories: Accessing Environmental Imprints Through Object Perception
This hands-on workshop merges psychometry with location-based remote viewing. Participants will tune into the energy of stones collected from specific sites, offering a deep, experiential connection to both the land and inner awareness.

Timo Féret
CRV in the Context of German New Medicine – Getting
to the Root Causes of Diseases
German New Medicine views illness as a meaningful emergency program of the body, designed to ensure survival in response to external stimuli and conflicts. This perspective allows the causes of diseases to be examined holistically, with Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) playing a crucial role in uncovering root causes.
In this unique workshop, Timo Féret will present a globally recognized healing concept combining CRV with German New Medicine. Participants will learn about this innovative method and gain hands-on experience with practical exercises.
Bio: Timo Féret is a German IT engineer with a master’s degree in computer science. He co-runs Into the Matrix, offering training and healing sessions using CRV. Timo has practiced Remote Viewing since 2018 and developed a unique healing concept integrating CRV with the Biological Healing Approach, based on German New Medicine.
Henry Gilroy
Remote Viewing & The Act of Creation
This talk explores whether we create art in the moment or if its finished form influences us from the future. We’ll examine how creative inspiration might connect to precognition.
