World Peace Ashram
We are the visible branch of the 501(c)(3) educational & charitable non-profit corporation: Divine Tools, Unlimited. Since 2004 we have offered a rustic retreat & community for self-renewal on 80 acres in Northeast Arizona, with various programs, guest presenters and festivals/celebrations.
For the past seven years, we opened to the public each Earth Day/April, and operated as a small-scale guest and volunteer-worker retreat center through October or first frost. We’ve met remarkable folks from all over the planet during those years, and our guests enriched us and made their marks on our facilities – we are very grateful for each of you. This year, however, we have made a change…
For 2011, we are embracing with all of our being the current/9th or Universal Wave of the evolution in human consciousness as described by Carl Calleman (www.calleman.com), due to his ‘translation’ for Western ‘civilizations’ or cultures of what is held in common among many indigenous peoples’ traditions and wisdom teachings – that mankind is presently undergoing a shift in consciousness, entering a New Age of Love & Light, of Peace & Oneness, developing wide-scale Unity consciousness where a paradigm of greed, fear and inequality have risen over many centuries.
This 9th wave only runs from early March through late October of this year, at the end of which time mankind will have created & received all the stimuli and opportunity available from the Source to decide what we want our Edenic, paradisical, mind-blowing Future to become. May we all choose wisely. The Trustees have decided to give ourselves the best possible opportunity to align with the evolutionary shifts, and to be part of the solution to the problems that at times seem to overwhelm us all. We hope to see you again next year, and we welcome you to read through our pages, check out the Links We Love, and to write us if you feel so moved.
We send out into the world our hearts’ love and light, and a wish for pervasive peace of mind, across all beings and persons.
I LOVE May! It brings my natal anniversary (on the 4th) and Spring is evident in all the plants, trees, gardens & throughout Nature – so much abundance!!
This week’s Full Moon, and the New Moon that brings a total Solar Eclipse, are just two of the outward events in the skies above us that are continuing to bring in a great deal of new, higher-vibrational energy as the transformations of this time continue.
Next month Venus will transit the Sun, on her ‘return’ in the cycles that have been an aspect of the Mayan and other indigenous wisdom traditions & knowledge for millenia. This event puts the full force of our Sun behind the vibrational entity we call Venus – the Goddess of Love, Beauty, Grace and Feminine Influence – transmitting to the Earth and all Her inhabitants – that’s us! This means that the process of this age that brings the Divine Feminine into balance with the long-dominant Divine Masculine (with all its permutations – positive & negative in their effects) will get a powerful boost, and it may be felt viscerally as well as mentally and energetically. But that’s still a month away – for now, we are hearing of tremendous shifts in economic stability and that the top of the hierarchical pyramids of business and finance may be toppling… its all still hush-hush, secretive and not mainstream ‘news’ but expect that this quarter will bring many provocative changes to the public arena, the marketplace, etc.
Be well… check out things that touch your consciousness, even very lightly – do not dismiss your intuitive sparks and fall in Love with Life this month!
I wish you great joy, beauty and peace of mind… Be Happy! You are deeply loved!
Checking in: Sorry for there having been no entry until now for this month. Here’s what’s happening…
We continue to be busy here at the Ashram/community – attending gardening classes and community meetings, planting seeds, raising starts for the garden, digging new garden beds, having visiting WWOOFers, upgrading the ‘old’ greenhouse, building the new greenhouse for the houseplants & starting the new “Happy Hermit Houseplants” micro-nursery business… (Whew!)… also: putting the finishing touches on the Abode of the Divine Feminine (Yay!!), planting roses & vining plants at the Arbor, planting more trees, insulating all the guest cabins (3.5 down, 4.5 to go) and converting four of them into office and other use spaces.
This will open up the Main House for a near-future of being entirely guest-ready, rather than housing Kevin & I for any personal activities – we will leave our home of the past 10 years, but all our guests will have far more accessibility to cooking and dining facilities, and not have to be shooed out of the Library at bedtime - all good changes, but change, nonetheless.
As Solara (www.nvisible.com) and many others have told us, we are in times when it is valuable, even necessary, to discern and take action to define, find and inhabit our new True Lives and activate our True Places in the World-as-It-is-Becoming, leaving behind the world as we have known it with no looking back, no regrets, and no nostalgia - for the Best is yet to come!
Hope each of you have found your new true place and lives, and are making positive strides to get there and be there and live there, from now forward.
Blessings Be!
