I recently spent a week in the Baviaanskloof. A beautiful and remote valley a few hours from Oudsthoorn, and almost 2 hours from the nearest town, Willamore.
And what a wonderful meeting was to await me. A woman by the name of Kveta Brobst, who had the whole Ringing Cedars series in Czech!

So we had lots to talk about and she will hopefully be joining us at the next Space of Love Gathering! (She makes amazing Czech cakes in her solar oven!!

Wow, for me it was so wonderful to see how this message has touched so many around the world.. having been translated into over 20 languages, we are sure to co-create a beautiful future for Humanity and the Earth! Thank you Anastasia!

MORE INFO on the Workshop:

A “Space of Love” Visioning workshop is being run by Malcolm McLachlan at the Novalis Institute in Wynberg. It is being organised by Faye with the intention to create a space to Vision for our future Kins’ Domains, the community in which we would like to live, and therefore collectively change the world. Perhaps this is the first big step we can take to manifest our Dream of Kin’s Domain and turn it into reality.

The workshop will be conducted by experiential process facilitator Malcolm McLachlan, who will help us to use our creative and imaginative capacities to tap into our deeper instincts, insights and intuitions, connecting us with our hearts and not only our heads, with what we really really want in our lives, and committing ourselves to the realization of our personal visions. On completion of the workshop we will have created in pictures and words our own personal visions of the future, as well as ways to bring these into being, now. The workshop will be held over two 3 hr sessions, a fortnight apart, to allow participants to do most of the individual time consuming creative work at home between sessions.

Fees for the full workshop of two 3hr sessions are:

· R200 per student or unemployed individual

· R300 per individual

· R500 per couple or 2 family members

No one will be turned away. Please talk to Malcolm if finances are a problem.

Participants are encouraged to social after each session. Coffee & tea will be provided. Please bring a plate of snacks to share then if you can.

Please contact Malcolm Mclaughlan on 084-975-5285 to book your place and if you have any further queries on the workshop.

Please forward this information to anyone you feel may be interested in this workshop.

Nat and Noel’s Raw food Workshops

“Noel and I led in a raw lunch demo and group preparation class.  We were blessed to have a gorgeous, abundant veggie garden to choose our menu from, plus and vast selection of offerings from everyone.  We had so much fun, arriving there with no plan (just my favourite machine at the moment, our blender), no menu and no idea how many people we would be preparing food for.  The energy and enthusiasm around raw eating and life-style was clear and it took little time and effort for a sumptuous meal of cougette noodles and arrabiata sauce, incredible salads and tahini hummus.  I am in deep gratitute to all those involved in organising and attending this gathering. I feel like I left with whole new family in my life..”

Welcome to our Kin’s Domain in Transkei!

Dwight and Mike have spent the last four years setting up a sustainable life in Transkei
Dwight writes: “My friend and I have begun to establish ourselves in Transkei on the land where I grew up. We read the Anastasia books a year or so after starting here when we were put onto them by a friend in the US. We have been here four years and our forest and veg gardens are beginning to really take shape.

“We are interested in meeting and perhaps hosting people for a visit who are seriously contemplating creating a domain so they may see what we have done and explore what is possible…”
