Have you ever felt the need to get back to nature and experience your roots? Seen pure spring water at its source? The sound of owls and jackals at night? Stars glittering, out of the shear joy of being in the heavens.

Would you like to experience this for a few days? Join in the basic thrills of walking in nature, through shady canopies along a stream and having a picnic with the sound of water and birds?

Join in the primal thrill of connecting to yourself in a pyramid; communing with yourself while walking a labyrinth and rejoicing in life with a purifying sweat lodge.

If this interests you why not join us at the 3day retreat on the sustainable community called ‘5 Streams’, 27 km’s from Nottingham Road nestled into the foothills of the Drakensberg. It is 2 hours from Durban and 4.5 – 5 hours from Johannesburg along very easy roads.

Friday 11 November 2011 @ noon to Sunday 13 November 2011 @ noon

Kins´ Domain Community possibility in South Africa

Dearest Kin,

Please read this article to find out about the exciting opportunity for another Kins´Domain eco-village in South Africa. Hans is a property developer who read the Ringing Cedars books when he was in Holland, and has been looking for land since to help develop a Kins´domain eco-village inspired by Anastasia.

He has found a piece of land between P.E and Jeffreys bay.
The site is over 600 ha, and can house around 50 families.
The rest of the land is applicable for a nature reserve. It has a beautiful view of the sea coast and on the other side to the baviaans Mountains.
There is game on the land (including zebra, wildebeest and impala) and the idea was for an Eco Village, but also for Eco Tourism which can accumulate income and be used for the settlers.

click here to read more  about the land and the proposed ideas. or email Hans directly on hans@kingshomeinspection.co.za.

To see photos of the land, email me, ashleigh@spaceoflove.co.za and i will forward photos to you. (for some reason the photo uploading software for our website is not working)

Dancing with the seasons, open yourself to receive the magical gifts of the solstice – igniting the fire within your hearts, souls and bellies. This is an invitation to journey deep into self and soul, to find the place of stillness, the void, where gestates the vast potential of all creation.

Mastering the art of love and togetherness will keep us loved-up, healthy, happy and toasty. There is something magical in braving winter on the Blue Hippo Farm where you will be watched over by majestic mountains and towering pine trees, while horses graze contentedly in nearby fields. Radiant beings come together, let us bless and be blessed in the heart of Winter!

In 1982 I died from terminal cancer. The condition I had was inoperable, and any kind of chemotherapy they could give me would just have made me more of a vegetable and I was given six to eight months to live. I had been an information freak in the1970s, and I had become increasingly despondent over the nuclear crisis, the ecology crisis, and so forth. So, since I did not have a spiritual basis, I began to believe that nature had made a mistake, and that we were probably a cancerous organism on the planet.

I saw no way that we could get out from all the problems we had created for ourselves and the planet. I perceived all humans as cancer, and that is what I got. That is what killed me. Be careful what your world view is. It can feed back on you, especially if it is a negative world view. I had a seriously negative one. That is what led me into my death. I tried all sorts of alternative healing methods, but nothing helped.
