🇺🇸 America 250: Celebrating Savannah’s Historic Legacy

The countdown to the nation’s biggest milestone has officially begun! As the United States prepares to mark 250 years of American history (1776–2026), there is no better place to uncover the foundational stories, sacrifices, and secrets of the past than right here in Georgia’s first city.

Savannah’s history isn’t just bound to the pages of text books—the spirits of the colony’s founders, Revolutionary War patriots, and historic citizens are still walking the streets of Savannah today.

Join 6th Sense World® for our America 250 Celebration, and experience the epic tales of survival, hauntings, and heritage that shaped the nation.

📍 The Historic Journey
Walk in the shadow of giants like General James Oglethorpe, who founded the colony of Georgia in 1733. Our master storytellers will guide you through moss-draped squares, cobblestone pathways, and sacred burial grounds to bridge the gap between 1776 and 2026.

Whether you are looking to explore deep local lore or encounter the paranormal energy left behind by centuries of history, we have a trek designed for you:

Sixth Sense Savannah® Ghost Tours: Uncover why Savannah is continuously named “America’s Most Haunted City.”

Find Your Truth with Savannah’s Original Historic Ghost & Cemetery Tours.

Most people who ‘can’t meditate’ aren’t bad at it. They just learned a method that only works in perfect conditions — quiet room, no thoughts, relaxed schedule, patient teacher.
Real life doesn’t look like that.

This class teaches the physiological layer underneath meditation that most instruction skips entirely: how your breath pattern directly controls your nervous system state, and how to use that mechanism to reach deep states of calm — deliberately, reliably, in any environment.

You don’t need belief. You don’t need silence. You don’t need 20 years of practice. You need the right tool, applied with the right timing, in the right sequence.
We’ll cover:
• How the mechanics behind meditation works — the physiology
• The simple progression for reaching deeper states reliably
• How to use it in 10 minutes at your desk, in your car, or at 2 AM when you can’t sleep

Saturdays at 8:30 AM | Forsyth Park, Savannah GA | $15 drop-in
We meet by the tennis courts, under the big old oak tree
Taught by Chase Barber, Oxygen Advantage certified breath coach

This class is right for you if you’ve tried meditation apps and quit, found guided meditation too dependent on mood or environment, want to understand the ‘why’ behind what you’re doing, or just want a Saturday morning practice that actually moves the needle.
