Sunday Morning Greetings

Aho with an awe-inspiring Sunday morning greetings to all,

The sheer presence of life has humbled me once again.

Right now as I gaze out the windows in the beginning moments of this day, it is extremely quiet' Our Grandfather Sun is peeking out through the trees and the only movement I see are the birds near the feeders. The sky is a light blue with only a few scattered clouds. This reminds me of the gentle, calm moments we have between the busy events of our lives.

As I watch the morning, weather and clouds change, it reminds me somewhat of our daily lives. We may experience days, weeks or months of full-on sunshine or cloudiness then all of a sudden, the day (or times) change and we are faced with a fresh look. How cool is that?.......... :-)

Being an Aquarian, change is generally not scary to me and in most cases; I welcome the newness or freshness of life's little adjustments. This holds true for the things I have gone through and continue to experience here at Our Sacred Land. I feel so blessed in having the opportunity to meet so many wonderful, loving people. I have received several comments as of the "quality" of those who have made their way to Our Sacred Land and I agree fully!

The next two weeks will be busy for not only me but many events here at Our Sacred Land. We will have our group meeting this Thursday and next week we have our full moon fire/drumming and following that, we will be establishing the Medicine Wheel. Following that, we have not set up any specific activities for our group meetings.

Now that winter is hopefully (wink) behind us, I wanted to say a big Thank You for your dedication and support to the group and this land, during the most challenging months to get out and about. You have set up a very strong "core" or template. This strength will set up for a fast and eventful spring. This brings up one of the reasons for my email this morning.

I am feeling the need to "check in" with all of you to see where you are and to receive your comments (good and bad) about what we have created, what you would like to see and not see. I have spent a good deal of time this morning in private and my heart is in a wonderful space. I would like to use this opportunity to "listen" to what you have to say without comment. The vision of me and Our Sacred Land is all about holding that sacred space for everyone's personal journey. It is appropriate to check in with all of you from time to time, letting you know "YOU" are extremely important and your desires will always be welcomed and heard.

As we move into the Spring time with special events, I really welcome your comments and input as we set the calendar of events. Some recent suggestions or thoughts;
* Watch a movie and discuss it at our group meetings
* Choose and watch one of the many DVD's we have on many different subjects
* Hold a meditation night, this could also be a guided meditation or shamanic journey
* Open "Talking Stick" night
* A night of mostly drumming, singing or dancing (little to no discussion)
* The list goes on and on…………….

One other comment recently was setting up beginning, intermediate and advanced classes for some interesting topics. Recognizing that we are all in a different space on many subjects, I would welcome your comments here.

In addition to the events we choose, a reminder to all of you is that we welcome and encourage participation, and that goes to leading the group at times. Remembering that we are all co-creating the events on Our Sacred Land, which requires you to step forward and co-facilitate some of the events. I welcome this and look forward to being amongst the group too…. :-)

So,,,, my dear friends and spiritual family, I look forward to hearing from you. Either in person, by email or however you choose to communicate. My love, respect and support to all of you on your personal and collective journeys.

Aho, Namaste and a pleasant Sunday to you,

Steve
