Geoffrey Hoppe (born Geoffrey Alan Hoppe on August 26, 1955, in Appleton, Wisconsin USA) is the founder and CEO of the Crimson Circle Energy Company, Inc. and its subsidiary, the Shaumbra Institute, and a supposed channel.
Hoppe claims that in 1997 on an airplane flight a non-physical entity he calls "Tobias of the Crimson Council" presented himself and began conversing with him.[1][2][3][4] Hoppe contends that since then he has been able to channel Tobias, as well as the ascended masters Adamus Saint-Germain and Kuthumi. He claims to do so by going through the process of making his consciousness and physical body available and allowing Tobias, Saint-Germain or Kuthumi to speak through him.[1][3][5]
In 1999 Hoppe, together with his wife and partner Linda Benyo, founded the Crimson Circle as a means to bring Tobias’ messages to a wider audience. In 2006 the Crimson Circle was incorporated as the Crimson Circle Energy Company, Inc., based in Incline Village, Nevada USA.[1]

Geoffrey Hoppe is a self-made marketing and advertising consultant, who started in public relations at 18 at NASA’s Ames Research Center, where he fulfilled his obligation to the US Army.[6] After he left the military he worked for several advertising agencies and manufacturing companies in the US Midwest and Texas in senior marketing positions.[1][7] At age 28 he started a marketing consulting company in Dallas, Texas (USA), operating it for 12 years with industrial and high tech clients throughout the United States.

In the mid-nineties Hoppe and his wife and partner Linda Benyo became involved with the metaphysical through the work of Lee Carroll, channeler for Kryon.[3][4] Hoppe was instrumental in establishing an Internet platform for Lee Carroll’s work with Kryon,[9][10] as well as the birth of the "Kryon Quarterly Magazine" (later renamed "In the Spirit").[10][11][12]

Following in the footsteps of Lee Carroll, Hoppe established himself as a channeler in his own right in 1999.[3][4][12] The entities that Hoppe claims he channels are Tobias, Saint-Germain and Kuthumi.[1][13][14] Tobias - according to Hoppe - is an angelic being who has lived many lifetimes on Earth, but is most noted for his lifetime as Tobit (also known as Tobias), one of the main characters in the apocryphal biblical Book of Tobit.[4][12][15][16]
Hoppe began sharing Tobias’ messages publicly in 1999 on a monthly basis.[4] The first public messages were shared in Hoppe’s living room with a small circle of friends that became known as the Crimson Circle or "the classroom of the New Energy".[3][5][12][15] In the year 2000 the monthly meetings started to be broadcast over the Internet.[12] Since then the Crimson Circle has grown into what has come to be known as "a global affiliation of new energy teachers" with over 300,000 visitors per month from over 130 countries around the world to the website[13][15] and a worldwide audience of around 20,000 people who tune into the monthly webcast.[3][16] The text of the monthly messages - called ‘shouds’ – are currently translated into more than 20 languages by local volunteers and are published on as many local websites, which link to the main, U.S.-based Crimson Circle website.[17]
In 2006 the Crimson Circle Energy Company, Inc. was founded to incorporate the work Hoppe and his partner Benyo were doing based on what they termed "The Tobias Materials." The Crimson Circle Energy Company, Inc. offers holistic and spiritual lifestyle messages, products and services. One of its primary purposes is to support a worldwide group of affiliate teachers through its subsidiary, the Shaumbra Institute.[15]
The core message of the material is that God is within and that humanity is currently going through an unprecedented time of change where it is moving from a God-as-external consciousness to a God-is-within consciousness.[13]
Other core concepts of the material are:
In 2008 Hoppe was one of six channelers that were interviewed in the film documentary "Tuning In." In this feature length American documentary six U.S. channelers are interviewed, as well as the entity that they claim speaks through them.[2][18][19]
