2004 Joy is just a choice Joy is the flour
It seems like every time I turn around there is another astrological or astronomical event or opening. Perhaps I was unaware before or it may be they are more frequent, or more potent, as we move further into this time of great changes. On June 6-8th Venus comes the closest to Earth in its orbit and also comes into alignment with the Sun - sort of an eclipse with Venus passing directly between the Earth and Sun. The effect of Venus, symbolizing love, will be energized by the Solar energy sending a wave of love over the Earth. A similar alignment will occur in the year 2012, creating
a window of eight years for this love consciousness to root itself in
our dimension. Talked about as an initiation of oneness and unity as well
as a possible increase in telepathic awareness, this is a time for opening
to the highest vibration. The exact alignment is at 4:43 AM Eastern time
on the 8th. The Sagittarius full moon calls us to cultivate curiosity and exploration in our lives. Explore the natural world around you and sit with the challenges in your life as a way of working through them. Initiation
Last opportunity to register for Dancing into the Star Lodge! This retreat is for women or men and will provide an initiation into the South Gate on the wheel. We enter this gate through silence, leaving reaction and judgment at the door. In the silence we begin the mastery of awareness, where we will ride the solstice energy to clear vision. Walking the labyrinth to the sound of crystal bowls, fire ceremony, quiet time, dancing with the sun energy, and dreaming with the stars will create a deep connection with the vision for the coming times. Deep in the silence Mother-Daughter Earth School is an opportunity to go to camp with your daughter. Why would you want to do this? We work with emotional awareness and strategies for learning from emotions. When these are practiced within the camp community they are easy to take home. It also creates a unique bonding with you daughter around fun activities of story telling, crafts, and nature awareness. Register now for an amazing experience! We're awakening to the rabbit
and the deer Changing Woman Camp still has openings available. This camp will provide an opportunity to experience community and vision questing on a much deeper level than can be done in shorter camps. It sets new patterns into the very cells of your body. Everyone who has participated in the past has come away different on every level. For a life changing event, come to Changing Woman Camp!

Often seen as the planet that bridges polarity since it appears as both the morning and evening star, we can honor Venus with an outdoor altar. You might want to construct this in a place that is sacred to you or where it will catch the rays of the morning or evening star. You can make it of natural things, stone, wood, or earth, and put plants around it. A bowl for water on it that will reflect the night sky would be nice. The most important thing is to make it beautiful. Venus loves beauty, especially the kind that we hold inside ourselves. So you can come to this altar to enhance your inner beauty and your ability to love unconditionally. Place the names of those people that you have a hard time loving (including yourself if that is the case) on this altar in a special bowl or container, asking for help in finding the love within you.

This
Month's Article What is the greatest love of all? Is it loving your enemies,
or those that have hurt you? No, the greatest love makes that look easy!
Loving enemies that you only see now and then is not hard. Loving someone
you see daily, even every moment is much more difficult. The greatest
love of all is loving yourself. You might think you love yourself, but
do you really? Do you love all of yourself? Do you love even the parts
of yourself that you know as the "other?" For in unity consciousness,
we understand that within each of us is the whole of all that is. As I watch myself and others struggle with this new vibration
that now permeates this Earth plane, I consider the nature of the struggle.
In many ways it seems like we are all shadow boxing - fighting with our
shadows either within or projected onto others. The inner fighting is
to change the parts of ourselves that we don't like, the ones that we
see as less than perfect. Yet there is something inherently flawed in
the idea that there are parts of ourselves that need changing or that
we are less than perfect. In many ways it seems like we are trying to
run in a straight line on a circular track. Click here for the full article.
