In and Around The Academy
With Rosemary Butterworth.
We had another amazing, informative night last Monday Night with Megan Heazelwood as she explained to us the scientific and esoteric happenings leading up to the 21st Dec. all of which coincided with the Mayan teachings. She also had pictures of crop circles which were all about the happenings of the Sun during this time and told us there was a recently a crop circle in Boorowa, Australia. (See picture).
If you would like to check out more of Megan’s wonderful crop circle investigation over the years go to: www.cropcircleenigma.yolasite.com or if you would enjoy seeing the beautiful images of crop circles check out www.cropcircleconnector.com
Jacaranda Haven’s Getting to Know You Day was a big success. 25 people turned up – and it was lovely to see the new connections made. We sat around (after eating sumptuous cakes) in a circle and introduced ourselves to each other. As most of us were practitioners or teachers, we were able to share some miraculous healing stories. In the afternoon Michelle Bowen did a Theta Healing demonstration which affected not only the volunteer but also the audience, some of whom were in tears. Michelle stayed on and did private sessions on the Sunday and will be back soon. So stayed tuned for the date.

She needs PEOPLE. Please consider joining us – SEE DETAILS FOR MASQUERADE BALL BELOW in What’s On.
Christina is a remarkable lady dedicated to assisting women and children in Guatemala by visioning and realising the project described below, for which she has set up her own not for profit org. I think her budget was around $70,000.
Previously she has raised smaller amounts for cold weather clothes and for items as simple as worming remedies for isolated villages in which people are so debilitated by parasites that they haven’t the energy to learn in school, or to work to raise food. Furthermore the region is also under huge pressure from foreign resource companies who have no compunction in ‘disappearing’ tribal people who stand up for their rights. In other words, it’s an area which deserves assistance. The clinic/school project is taking shape with the help of local activists in Guatemala, some of whom are risking their lives by supporting the tribal people to have a voice and a better life. ….Fiona Gosse
P.S. On average 35% of children in Guatemala die under the age of eight!
