Our Vision  

 

ParaVenture aims to grow into an annual event, expanding to multiple states. By doing so, we hope to create a widespread, supportive network for both the paranormal and autistic communities.  

 

What is a Paracon?  

 

A paracon is similar to a ComicCon but tailored for paranormal enthusiasts. Imagine a holistic fair where you might encounter mediums, reiki specialists, crystal and tarot card vendors, massage therapists, and much more. Paracons also feature paranormal investigators, researchers, para-celebrities, and owners of haunted locations. It's like a business conference, with a packed schedule of speakers covering a wide range of topics, from science and true crime to UFOs, hauntings, and even how to start a paranormal business.  

 

Who Attends Paracons?  

 

Our attendees are a diverse group, including scientists, authors, doctors, teachers, environmentalists, real estate professionals, and many others. Paracons are more than just events—they’re opportunities to make lifelong connections with people who share your interests and passions.  

 

Event Host

 

The parent company of this event is Own Your Path (OYP), which works to empower others to learn how to translate their steps in life, learn to work with them, and to advocate for themselves while knowing that OYP is here for help. Our goal is to help you to own and be proud of each of your steps in life! OYP works with individuals in every area of life and decided that the tremendously supportive and caring paranormal community around the world would be the best representatives to begin with for this endeavor. www.OwnYourPath.net  

 

About Autism Alliance of Michigan

 

Autism Alliance of Michigan was founded with the vision that people with autism will lead lives that meet their greatest potential. We lead efforts to raise expectations and expand opportunities for people touched by autism across the lifespan. We believe that every family should have access to services to assist with education goals, to create a safety plan to keep their child from wandering, to enjoy resources and entertainment venues in their community, and to access housing, transportation and employment for independent living. In short, we believe no family member should be limited because they have autism. Through our three Pillars of Work, AAoM has served over 40,000 people throughout the state and continues to lead efforts to raise expectations and expand opportunities for people touched by autism across the lifespan.
