It is with GRATEFUL and REVERENT hearts that we invite you to join us in CELEBRATING Earth Day in commUNITY at one of the most BEAUTIFUL places in the Texas Hill Country, Krause Springs!
We all know that BIG CHANGES are needed to address the dire issues before us and our beautiful Mother Earth. We feel that Earth Day deserves to be an International Holiday and so we are encouraging us all to take a pause on April 22nd to gather and be of service to our Mother Earth and all sentient life upon her. We are stewards of the Earth and it is up to each of us to BE THE PEACE WE WISH TO SEE IN OUR WORLD!
Our Mother Earth and all life upon her is in the midst of a deep integration process from the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8th that crossed this very spot of the Texas Hill Country. Our gathering is supporting the recalibration that is taking place within us all.
You are welcome to come for part of the day or the entire CELEBRATION! Whenever you arrive will be the PERFECT time for you to join the gathering!
Some of the activities planned are:
*Earth honoring ceremonies
*Gentle Yoga Practice
*Water ceremony
*Live music from a very SPECIAL guest
*CommUNITY Service project
*CommUNITY art project
*Fellowship and FUN!
*Closing ceremony welcoming the Vesak Scorpio Full Moon that is occuring on April 23rd! It is rare and PROFOUND for Earth Day and Vesak to be converging as Vesak usually occurs in May!
“Vesak occurs when the Sun is in Taurus and we have a Scorpio or Sagittarius Full Moon - considered by some to be the most powerful Full Moon of the year. The Sun’s transit through Taurus exalts the Moon and Taurus is ruled by Venus, the spiritual ruler of Earth. Venus is identified with Mary, the World Mother. May, the month of Taurus, is the month of Mary. Venus appears in the west as the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl who brought enlightenment to the Mayans; in the east she is Maya, mother of the Buddha.
The lunar cycle is a wave of creation that comes to fruition when the Moon is full. Each Full Moon brings revelation and possibility for healing body, mind, and soul. The Moon is the Mother whence comes reflected Light of the spiritual Sun to nurture, support, protect, and bring to flower the seeds of creation.
The Full Moon is like a pitcher pouring out a healing elixir. The celestial dispensation continues for three days following the day of the Full Moon. Calm and balance, deep breathing, meditation, yoga, rhythmic music and dancing help for receiving the blessings of heaven.
Locally the Full Moon has strong effect in the hour following Sunset when the Moon is rising and at local Midnight when the Moon is directly overhead. This Sun in Taurus Full Moon is called Wesak (WE-sock). Mystics say that the Buddha returns now to help regenerate the Earth.
According to metaphysical tradition, the Buddha was born, attained enlightenment, and left Earthly incarnation under the Full Moon of Taurus. And the Buddha returns at this time each year to bring new light to the world. Spiritual leaders gather in Wesak Valley, a mythic place high in the Himalayas. Here initiates led by the Christ arrange themselves into a great pentagram (the Venusian emblem of world soul) while the Buddha hovers over those gathered radiating light. This cosmic alignment occurs during the eight minutes centered on the moment of the Wesak full moon.”
