Journey and visions - Rowan van Tonder
28 January 2011

I had an amazing and very deep experience with many visions which I was honoured to be shown and would love to share with everyone.

As is my usual experience on such a journey I found myself submersed/immersed in a deep gOd space something like in a microcosmic/macrocosmic space. Although this time I had very little resistance have glanced upon a message that beckoned me to completely surrender to my journey the day before.

Thank you to all who gathered last weekend in Johburg and Greyton to celebrate the Autunn Equinox with us! What a blessed weekend :-) I am left feeling very full of gratitude and love.. and am amazed at the energy and momentum of the Space of Love gatherings. I hope you are able to join us for our Easter Gathering in Mpumalanga, and check out this beautiful land as a potential to create your own Space of Love.
Blessings and Love to you all! Love Ashleigh :-)

Good morning all SOL angels

I look forward to meeting old and new friends at SOL in 4ways this weekend.

I’m currently staying at Umphakatsi where the April May gathering will
be. So anyone interested can chat to me. Will bring my cyberspace box with me for anyone who wants to see digital pics in c-space.

But as I have the attention of many now, I want to give you some food for thought about finally making that effort to start your own Space of Love. This is for those who intend to at least seriously investigate becoming part of the growing community at Umphakatsi.

Umphakatsi is a beautiful space with lots to offer. However, it is in
situated in a rural area with not many business or job opportunities.
There is however, a lot of opportunities for those who are creative
and want to work together as a community to make this a paradise to
live in. As it is on tribal land, and the local people are actually
moving away to bigger towns, there are lots of space to occupy if done in an environmentally and culturally sensitive manner.

After the pioneering efforts,the space is ready a dash of fun,creativity, love and colour.

Welcome to Terra do Sol!

We are a multicultural Franco-Brazilian family of 4 (parents in their mid-30′s and two beautiful little daughters). We have decided to dramatically change our lives after realizing that we were climbing the wrong social ladder, the consumerist one, which is not able to bring true happiness to our lives (even though we consider we have pretty much reached its top!). We have also realized that economy globalism and the current evolution of modern societies is not sustainable in the long term as it goes against Nature. This creates the need for non-profit oriented and self-sustainable local communities, which our project is part of.

Our vision is to establish a “Kin Domain Village” in Brazil, and we decided to create this website in order to share it with you, to make our dream of owning a “Space of Love” come true. At this stage, we need to find a land, and we need to find like-minded people willing to participate in some way or join us in our project of building our own self-sustainable community.

Please read more of our vision and our project here https://sites.google.com/site/terradosolcommunity/

‘Parallel Worlds: Nothing is as it seems’   Heather Macauley Noell’s new book – which weaves some of Anastasia’s most profound teachings (books 1-8) into the adventure-fantasy plot.  (By donating $10 to support the Ringing Cedars Revolution site, you’ll receive the audiobook and eBook free.)

Just to be sure that ‘Parallel Worlds’ is something you’ll enjoy, here’s a link to 50% of the story where you can read or listen to Chapters 1-17.  http://aspaceoflove.com/pw_audio_pdf_ch1-17.html

‘Parallel Worlds’ Overview

Parallel Worlds is a fascinating, gripping tale of adventure and love that delves into deep universal truths.

The story is about a pair of teenagers, Amelia and Matthew, who are trapped in a parallel world where they must retrieve information from their past lifetimes before they can return to their own world.

Yet underlying the story is a message so powerful, so life-changing and controversial, it has been concealed for thousands of years – because these truths are capable of changing our current world forever.

At the end of the story you’ll hear a discussion called “The Truth Behind the Fiction,” and you may want to hear the story again in light of this new information!

I hope you enjoy these songs.
