Follow-up to April's Gathering: Group Consciousness

After the earthquake in Japan, Masaru Emoto arranged, through e-mail, a time for people worldwide to join together and send prayers to the water in Japan. He named the ceremony:

 “Let’s send our thought of love and gratitude to all water in the nuclear plants in Fukushima”
He also provided a specific phrase for people to repeat.

We know  that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.  When a group of like-minded individuals joins together and focuses on a common intention, energy grows exponentially.  Participants of The Gathering joined together and focused on the people, land and nuclear power plants in Japan. Intense love, gratitude and healing were directed to them.  I wholeheartedly thank everyone who participated.

As our announcement shares, we have an opportunity to create a new paradigm for how groups may impact the world for the better. The Gathering offers a powerful possibility for us to join together and, through our focused intention and higher consciousness, impact the world for the better. What an amazing way to make the world a better place!

Love and light to all,
Carol

The Gathering in April, 2011

Topic:  Group Consciousness

Place:  Wellness Center       69 Elm Street     Camden, Maine
During the past two months we have experienced Opening our Hearts and Loving. This evening we will combine both of these skills to explore the concept of Group Consciousness. Only hours after our last Gathering the people of Japan experienced a devastating earthquake and tsunami. During our guided visualization this month we will open our hearts further and join together to send a collective blessing to Japan and others around the globe. Join us as we experiment with a new paradigm for how groups may impact the world for the better.

The Gathering in February, 2011

February 10, 2011
The Wellness Center - Camden, Maine

The topic is Opening the Heart

Oftentimes when we encounter difficult situations or painful emotions, our tendency is to resist and either shut down or find some way to escape. Quite 'logically', we do not wish to suffer! Yet is it by facing these challenges directly and fully acknowledging our suffering that we can uncover our compassionate natures and open our hearts to ourselves and others. Rose Willson will guide us through the Buddhist practice of Tonglen and the HeartMath 'FreezeFrame' technique to aid us in moving out of our heads and living more fully and compassionately from our intuitive hearts.

The Gathering in March, 2011

March 10, 2011
Wellness Center - Camden, Maine

The topic is:   Feeling Loving

Skye Hirst will explore with us how Feeling Loving and sound vibrations can work together and do, but we don't know it consciously. Experience creating loving sound vibrations. ¬ Discover how they open communication and how we can get that loving feeling any time, any place, ¬ if we choose. We'll be having fun making sounds as a group and feeling the sounds of loving in our bodies. Discover your loving feeling and how we are connected to one another through it.

The Gathering for October, 2009

Topic:  Sharing Your Creative Expression
Guides:  Cheryl Evangelos and Carol Daigneault

Wow!!!  What a wealth of creativity, insight and life experience was presented by our many pariticipants as we shared our creative expression.  Japanese papermaking, quilting, guitar playing, writing, hair styling, painting, stained glass and baking (yes, we had treats!) were just a few of the topics we enjoyed.  What a lovely group of people and a deep, enriching time together.

The overriding realization from our sharing was that we are all creatively expressing ourselves in so many ways ALL THE TIME.  The presentation of each person's "finished product" would often meander into a story about how the decisions around completing the project supported a personal relationship, helped to fortify an idea or was part of a larger vision or plan.  Our everyday expression, in all of the various forms it takes, is our creation.  We can do whatever we want with that realization, and power and the folks in the room that evening had really let their own lights shine!
In light of our September visioning and a desire to broaden our format to allow for more participation, we joined together and constructed this beautiful altar.  At the end, one participant offered a brilliant synopsis of all of  the features in the altar that so aptly echoed the experience we'd had that evening:  connectedness, flow, community, light, balance, groundedness, symetry, and harmony.  It was again, a great example of the heights to which our creative expression, and higher consciousness, can grow when we join together.

Thank you all.
