Thank you everyone who contributed with amazing food, generous donations</div><div class="">and loving presence. Ron and I were thrilled be back on the home turf! Spirit House was indeed very happy to greet those of you who did your ritual within her womb-like candle lit earthen walls…… </div><div class="">you probably agree</div><div class="">the spacious emptiness was actually filled with magic and the power of Gaia and was rather awe-inspiring as she welcomed us back “home.” </div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you Sue for your beautiful note and all those who echoed their gratitude. Again, thanks to Sue and Eric who helped out on Friday bringing much more ease and flow to setting up than ever before.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">And thank you Doug and Ron for the amazing music……and for those of you who stepped up to bring in the directions, and David for the astro report…..these gatherings are indeed a community affair and everyone</div><div class="">who shows up makes it was it is for all of us.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have been asked to share the poem I read by Toni Carmine Salerno…who I might add is a visionary artist and creator of Oracle Decks.
