Space of Love

Dear Family

Thank you thank you again..

We gathered again in honour of the Autumn harvest and Samhain, and to welcome in the winter and embrace the mysteries of the darkness. Thank you again to all who helped co-create this magical weekend. Love was indeed present, and deeply felt by all..

we come from love, ..living in love,
go back to love, turn the world around!…

The Permaculture garden set up during the last Space of Love gathering two months ago is now lush with life! Beans, radish, red mustard, lettuce, rocket, marrows and spinach as well as a mound of wonderful herbs and edible flowers made it to our tummies! a special thank you to all the garden devas and nature spirits for helping our food grow, and to all the harvesters, kitchen angels, raw food gurus (thank you noel and natalie!) choppers and feasters who helped prepare and nourish us

Friday night was welcome circle, stories of Samhain, poetry and a fire ceremony, followed by Gavin and his amazing gift in improvised story-telling. Thank you to all who shared your beautiful poetry, stories and song round our sacred fire!

Saturday night Aumji led an angel walk, and those who participated found it very difficult to leave the loving embrace of the group aah! but finally we were dragged to the kitchen where the balkon beatbox backed up our dancing feet and we danced and drummed into the wee hours of the morning.

Daytime saw yoga, dance, meditations, an introduction to dynamic self governance, partner yoga, rebirthing, raw food workshop, edible wild food and medicines, mayan calender,  hypnosis workshop, sacred circle dancing and more.

This time we opened space for trading hour after lunch, and the children had their own kiddie den. They played drama games and made beautiful lanterns on Saturday evening, and after finding an empty bees hive with leftover wax, ran their own candle-making workshop! ah, special ones.. thank you for your loving creative playful spirits!

Thank you Mark for guiding us through a biodynamic cow-horn burial ceremony with which we will bless the garden at the next gathering.

… ash’s sharing…

During the gathering, the Autumn and Samhain energies swirled me up inside. I felt less prepared for this gathering than the last. I see how each gathering holds it’s own unique energy and expression. I am also seeing more and more how important this work is. co-creating temporary community. connecting with family. Learning how to co-create with each other, to communicate and share. Learning how to live in community, and support each other in unfolding a new civilization and co-creating heaven on earth. I feel i am learning as i go, and although sometimes challenging, i feel deeply nourished and rich with this work, and grateful to all the beings see and unseen who are in support of us. I am deeply appreciative to be apart of this.. this that is ours. thank you everyone!
