Nov. 7th, 3-5pm – Connecting with our Sacred Self: Spiraling into Balance with Sacred Earth
October 12, 2010
This event is being co-created with our friend Dale Sparlin from Ohio.
He will create the labyrinth and lead us in walking it and dancing the Spiral Dance.
Through drumming, chant, walking the labyrinth, and dancing the spiral dance, we will bring balance within and without, reclaiming our heart’s connection with the Earth. Feel free to bring drums.
Bring a friend, Make a new one!
Connecting with Our Sacred Self
Spiraling into Balance with Sacred Earth
Throughout this gathering, following a myriad of paths, we have been drawn into deeper communion with Sacred Earth. Now, as we prepare to walk the paths returning to our individual hearth-homes, let us take a moment to turn inward, reconnecting with our own Center, that place within each of us from which we utter Namaste.
Here we will seek the common point that holds Sacred Earth and Sacred Self in balance. As above, so below; as within, so without.
Join us in ceremony as we call in the Seven Directions, walk the Spiral Labyrinth, dance the Spiral Dance, turning to our Sacred Center.

OUR MOTHER EARTH NEEDS YOUR HELP!

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.”

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.

Equinox Sunset
March 16, 2010
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.
Help Complete the Burlington Earth Clock!
February 1, 2010
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.
