The creative force behind New Living Expo
Awakening humanity.
Exploring the infinite.
New Living Expo is a Portal to Ascension production.

For 18 years, Portal to Ascension has brought the deeper conversations into the light. Founded and led by Neil Gaur, our global events and media platform connects those ready to explore the hidden layers of existence and remember their own potential.
The man behind the mission
Neil Gaur
Founder. Owner. Visionary producer.
Neil Gaur is the founder and owner of Portal to Ascension, the organization producing New Living Expo.
Neil founded Portal to Ascension in 2008, following years of exploring the connections between ancient cultures, spiritual traditions, and the nature of consciousness. What began as a personal search grew into a calling to bring people together around these deeper questions.
Neil is the creative and organizing force behind the platform: bringing presenters together, shaping conversations, and producing conferences, workshops, and retreats around the world. A researcher, philosopher, and spoken word artist, he explores ancient civilizations, hidden esoteric wisdom, and the ancient wisdom and future science of sound, vibration, and frequency.
At the heart of Neil’s work is a commitment to individual sovereignty, human potential, and unity on Earth. Through Portal to Ascension and New Living Expo, he creates spaces where people can meet new perspectives, reconnect with their purpose, and find community along the way.

The vision becomes
a living experience.
Portal to Ascension is a conscious event production company and multimedia platform dedicated to the upliftment of humanity. We create opportunities to explore who we are, where we come from, and our relationship with the Earth and the cosmos.
As the producers of New Living Expo, we bring that spirit of inquiry and connection into a gathering of speakers, exhibitors, artists, practitioners, and seekers. Ancient wisdom, emerging ideas, personal transformation, and community meet in one place.
Our intention is simple: to inspire greater awareness, empower people to discover their own potential, and create a world rooted in unity, compassion, transparency, and peace.
Beyond the Expo

From a spark of curiosity
to a worldwide community.
The first questions
Neil’s exploration of the connections between religions, ancient texts, and consciousness led to an online community in 2006. In 2008, Portal to Ascension took shape.
Coming together
Early meditation and sound gatherings at Ginger’s Garden in Costa Mesa grew into workshops and holistic fairs. The Tour of Love took the work up the West Coast, followed by the Cosmic Reunion conferences in 2012.
Opening the portal online
A renewed focus on online events made it possible to reach people around the world. Beginning with monthly gatherings, the platform expanded, and live productions returned in 2018.
An expanding vision
Online and in-person experiences now connect a global network of presenters and seekers. New Living Expo is part of that wider family, alongside international gatherings, retreats, and conscious media.
