MAY 18, 2010
CONSCIOUS PARTICIPATION IN HEALING OUR PLANETARY WATERS

OUR MOTHER EARTH NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Along with many peoples all around the globe, and many water prayers this spring, we are calling for a MASSIVE GLOBAL EFFORT

Our main intention for this healing is to return the waters to their original pure crystalline blueprint, and to add to their abundance for the nourishment of ALL living things on the planet.

Pray in your local waterways, at the rivers or lakes or streams. Or pray with a bowl of water in the middle of the cities.

“We are Water Babies.
Do not to forget to say thank you every day for the water you drink,
the water you bathe in.
Without our Mother water we would not survive.”
Grandmother Agnes Baker Pilgrim, Takelma Siletz, Oregon

Go Beyond the Limits of Your Mind!
Join us for an evening of fun and excitement!
(Bring Your FREINDS!!)

Heather Rice and Patrick Macmanaway bring you an opportunity to go beyond what you thought was possible!

Firewalking is an ancient practice intended to empower and heal. Walking barefoot over hot coals burning at over 1,200° Fahrenheit seems impossible, yet over half a million Americans have done it.

How many other things in your life seem impossible?

This workshop is about healing ourselves by overcoming our fears and limiting beliefs. Your ideas about reality will be changed forever. Discover for yourself how everything is possible, and learn valuable tools to help you confront limitations in all areas of your life.

The workshop is an exhilarating blend of ritual, love, music and laughter. Actually walking on the fire is completely voluntary, and not everyone chooses to do it. Even if you don’t walk, participating in the ceremony and witnessing others walking is an inspiring and empowering experience!

Dr. Heather Rice is a healer and an experienced Firewalking Instructor. She has been a staff trainer for the Firewalking Institute of Research and Education. Since 1993, she has led more than a thousand people over the coals, in the USA, Switzerland, Zimbabwe, New Zealand and Great Britain.

Come One, Come All to Celebrate the Changing of the Seasons and the Fertility of Planet!

Vermont’s own Shyla Nelson and the Good Earth Singers will lead this celebration of Bountiful Delight!

Mark you Calendars (go ahead, I’ll wait…)

The sun will be setting around 6:50 on Saturday March 20th.Sunset is at 6:50 with the mountains.
I think the equinoxes are are about the calm balance, so don’t have a big event planned. It’s about what is arising so we can do an impromptu thing, circle of hands, song or silence. If anyone has something to share, that is good.
Please join us.

Also, if you want pictures of the alignment on the stone, Friday might be better as there won’t be as many people in the circle.

We are excited to share news of a community project with you, and invite you to join our expanding circle of participation and support.

Circles for Peace is a Vermont grassroots non-profit organization that is based on the philosophy that inner peace and inner strength can be restored by witnessing the rhythms and cycles of nature.

Our first project is The Burlington Earth Clock.

We are building The Burlington Earth Clock on land provided by the Burlington Parks Department at Blanchard Beach on the bike path just north of Oakledge Park (a popular spot for watching the sunset).

Plans include the development of an educational curriculum for K-12 in the areas of science and math, art and history.

We are currently fundraising to complete landscaping, install information signs and the 6′ granite sundial in the middle of the circle.

Your financial contribution is crucial to this project. WE ARE ONLY $8,000 AWAY FROM OUR $80,000 GOAL!!
The City of Burlington has offered a $2500 matching grant as support.

Please give generously.

In one week the day will be 2 minutes longer…

Burlington Permaculture presents…
Ancient Landscapes, Ancient Wisdom
Cultivating Relationship with the Spirit of Place
September 9, 7:00PM-9:00PM Fletcher Free Library – Free

An intimate lecture by Dr. Patrick MacManaway – a third generation holistic therapist with a degree in Medicine and training in both eastern and western earth-centered healing practices. The author of Dowsing for Health, creative consultant for the Burlington Earth Clock and past President of the British Society of Dowsers, he brings a holistic perspective to enhancing the health and vitality of landscape & of our relationship with place.

Primal cultures view the world as having an underlying life force – of chi or prana – moving through the landscape much as chi moves in meridians through the human body, characterizing the qualities of place in each and every location. Nodal points – or dragons eyes – are places of exaggerated atmosphere and elemental power, historically used for the siting of sacred spaces, temples and churches. Early agricultural practices seeking to balance these factors in the landscape have recently been shown to increase the growing season and to directly affect the health of plant, animal and human health. This emerging knowledge is now becoming integrated into both holistic and mainstream practices in many European countries with great promise for enhancing our immediate domestic and working environments as well as guiding stewardship practices in the landscape at large.
