Wow, it’s been a long time since we last sent out a longer newsletter. I do hope you enjoy this one.

The next Space of Love gathering in Greyton is just around the corner, and I am feeling immense gratitude for my team of Angel volunteers who are helping to breathe this gathering into existence! What a blessing to have their dedication and support! Thank you :-)

The Gathering will surely be as magical and beautiful as always, packed with amazing talks and workshops, and an overflowing garden with runaway butternuts ready for harvest. March 18-21st – mark it in your diary! But before then, don’t forget about the day gathering in the Forest with John Little Bear.. Definitely a good place to spend a Sunday :-)

In this world of paradox and extremes, we realized as we were making choices for your reading pleasure in this issue, polar opposites emerged – or so it seemed. But really, isn’t our human experiment predicated upon just that? We live and find our three-dimensional experience in the suspension between two opposites, the Yin and Yang of things, as we all like to say. So here we are, inviting you to join us in going more deeply into the seemingly densest parts of our bodies, the minerals which give us substance. There, if we read the fascinating AcresUSA/Dr.Olree interview carefully, we will discover HOW minerals and traceminerals are actually directly co-creating the energetic spiritophysical experiences we end up calling “you” and “I”.

“Every seed planted by someone contains within itself a great amount of cosmic information. Its volume is incomparable to anything manmade. Thanks to this information the seed knows exactly, up to milliseconds, the time when it is supposed to return to life. It knows when to sprout, what kinds of juices to extract from the ground, how to use the energy generated by cosmic bodies like the sun, moon and stars. It also knows what specific type of plant to become and what kind of fruit to bear. The various fruits are meant for man’s life-support. These fruits can fight and resist any disease of a human physical body very effectively and even more powerfully than the best manmade medications existing now and those which will be in the nearest future. In order to fulfill this job a seed has to know everything it could saturate the fruit with and bring them into proper correlation with the necessary substances for the healing process. It has to know precisely for a certain person concerning his specific sick­nesses in case they have them or there is a pre­disposition towards sickness.

Dear all,

I hope that this information message finds you well, enjoying life and community in all its forms.

Please be informed about three Nonviolent Communication (NVC) -related activities:

• On Sunday, the 6th of March, 11 to 5pm, I will lead the workshop Speaking a language of life with children. We will practice around the topics of Values I want to live and give, “Power-over” versus “power-with”, Beyond power struggles and Hearing the “yes” in the “no”. There will be a lot of space for sharing and exercising how we can manage life with children in a way that is more satisfying and joyful. Please contact me on 078-3974108 to confirm a space.
• In the end of March an NVC training is going to start, meeting 12 Thursday mornings in Claremont. Please contact Marieke on 072-27205957 for information.
• The Claremont NVC practice group meets every Tuesday night. Interested persons may contact me on 078-3974108.

It’s a pleasure to share the inspiration and satisfaction of Marshal Rosenberg’s NVC. We had a very fruitful training given by Pia and Marietta in Muizenberg and there may well be another experienced trainer coming to Cape Town soon. Feel free to forward this message to your networks or other interested people.

With warm and caring regards,
Annika
