“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the

world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change.27

As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is

the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not

wait to see what others do.” –

LOVE YOUR MOTHER … EARTH DAY GATHERING

Last year we were lucky that we had decent weather for our earth day gathering….this year we are going to push it back to May 13 th to increase the likelihood

of decent weather to celebrate spring. This year’s spring gathering is going to celebrate Mothers as it falls on Mother’s Day weekend… Both Mother Earth and those

Mamas that support us in our lives.

Sustainability For a Changed World

*Healing Arts : Reiki, Essential Oils, Cymotherapy, Acupuncture, Herbs, Yoga,

*Spring Projects- Birds & Bees, Pruning,

*Gardening & Nature- Permaculture,

Interactive Earth Arts.

We are looking for presenters and vendors who would have a skill, service or product that would be in-line with this vision. I am picturing a day of open- ended workshops and presentations where folks can walk through and learn & experience first-hand some of the different healing modalities. A Spring Spa! This would be a great way to educate & network with others in the community.
