MONDAY, 6th February, 2017
A SOUND EVENT
JOHN BUTTERWORTH, MARC COTTEE,
ELLIE FRANCIS, JEWELS WAKEMAN AND PAULIEN GORT
A high frequency celebration for the opening of The Academy of Light for 2017. We invite you to come along and cleanse your body and mind with beautiful sounds and be energised and uplifted.
By surrendering, with a quiet mind, to the sound of the giant gongs, bowls, didgeridoo and other musical instruments, the natural intelligence of our body can entrain back to a state of wellbeing. It is then up to you to maintain that state by modifying what you think and consume.
Everything in creation has its own natural rate of vibration which can be accelerated or decreased by other sources of vibration by the scientific law of sympathetic resonance or entrainment.
Bring a rug/blanket and pillow to lie down or sit as you allow your body to be immersed in these wonderful therapeutic and consciousness-expanding sound waves.
The cells of our bodies tune into these beautiful sounds and release toxins embedded thought patterns that no longer serve us and the result is that we feel rested relaxed, and REJUVENATED.
Just as a piano tuner is called in to tune up a Steinway to keep it playing in tune with creation so our bodies need to be ”tuned up” so that each organ of our body knows it is supported and loved, knows it’s place in the scheme of things and is in oneness with all creation.

In and Around the Academy
With Rosemary Butterworth
Well the last meeting for 2016 was just lovely. It was very warm, friendly and the energy was high and lifted us all. It is always like that when we come together. The Academy of Light is a fantastic community of heart-filled people. After I opened our Christmas Meeting, before people opened their eyes, I went around the room with a pendulum to check if their heart chakras were open and it was fascinating to see that not one heart chakra was closed, everyone’s was open. This is very unusual. The energy in the room felt flat to me as I opened up and I did notice that as Terri went around with the Tibetan bowl, people stopped thinking, (which keeps them separate) and everyone sat up straighter and simply listened and became a united group. The power of the group is amazing. It will be interesting to see what Spirit intends us to do with this power in 2017.
I brought through a few Christmas messages from the Angels and one was so important that I will share it with you because I think it applies to us all. What was said was this:
“Let go all your knowledge. What you think you know. It is extremely important for you to enter 2017 empty. There is so much knowledge to come to you from higher dimensions and you need space in your body to hold it.”
Julia Smith, from Inner Tranquillity & Peace, then led a profound meditation acknowledging that it was the 12th of the 12th and the 144 alignment with the crystal grid. She created a Merkaba above our heads at the Soul Star Chakra and one at our feet at the Earth Star Chakra and the alignments with this and the Earth was amazing.
The evening just flowed with John giving us a magnificent Gong Bath to conclude the night, and the night drew to a close as we all held hands and sang Peace, Peace, Peace to the Earth and all the Universe.
Looking forward to seeing you again on Monday Night, 6th February, in the Great Hall for a SOUND EVENT celebrating the start of 2017. A New Year together!
Thank you to those that have spoken to us about the new possibilities in 2017. We are still very open to more feedback.
ACADEMY OF LIGHT – FORMAT FOR 2017
We would like to modify the format of the AOL Meetings for 2017, with the following objectives :
* Enable more participation by attendees, so rather than it being a presenter to an audience,
it will be more of a facilitator and practice, like workshops.
* Reducing the breadth of topics presented so there will be more depth, like mini-courses
Some of the topics suggested are :
* Aboriginal Teachings – with evening talks supplemented by daytime offsite workshops probably in bush.
* Healing – Members sharing modalities and ministering to each other
* Sound Events – similar to current, but with the opportunity for attendee participation
* Earth Energy Service, e.g. praying for situations, elements i.e. water. etc.
Could you please advise (either by phone 9967 4425 or email) which of the above would be of interest and any other suggestions. Meeting schedule could alternate between topics, with the most popular being held more often.
Don’t forget The Academy are always looking for volunteers on all different levels of service. Connect with us and share your Light!
The Academy’s first Bulletin of 2017 is anticipated to come out on the 1st February. Until then have a
Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year from all of us here!

GRAIL HAVEN SACRED JOURNEY – 2017
KNIGHTS TEMPLAR and THE HEALING SISTERHOOD OF THE ROSE
Date: 23st April – to – 12th May 2017 (20 days- approx dates)
PARIS, FRANCE – MEDITERRANEAN ISLANDS – ISRAEL
with Gerry Taylor-Wood and Richard De Welles
The Knights Templar route across Europe from France to Jerusalem is a mystical, spiritual journey.
The first Christian Crusade left from Vezelay, France. Thousands of Knights were killed. A band of women, seeing the loss of their men folk, formed the Sisterhood of the Rose, a healing order whose crafts included the skilled use of flowers, herbs, plants and crystals.
Our intention is to draw together those who would take the adventurous and sacred journey of the Knights and the Healing Sisterhood of the Rose across Europe – from France, across the islands of the Mediterranean to Acre in the North of Israel and on to Jerusalem.
We visit the relics of Mary Magdalene authenticated by Rome in Provence.
This is a sacred journey requiring spirit and courage. Are you ready to join us on what will be our 23rd and last Sacred Sites journey?

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Jodie’s Rescue – A Great Christmas Gift!
Diane Fagan has published a book for children 10 years + about a young girl and her adventures on Sydney Harbour. As well as facing the challenges of a new school, and making new friends, she is grieving over the death of her mother. When she is given the opportunity to enter the world of spirit, she sees that Heaven World is a beautiful place, and learns that our souls never die. Jodie’s Rescue is a positive and uplifting story that deals with bullying, loneliness, responsibility for the environment, and also a mystery on Rodd Island. Can Jodie save the penguins? And who is the girl in the photo hidden under the stairs?
The energies have been super intense and there’s no letting up. We can no longer try to keep the lid on energies ready to leave, or try to ignore / repress rising emotions that come up every day. The build up of stress and pressure is forcing us to act. We are being asked to let go so we can step up and step into our higher way of living. Time with me is a gift of love to yourself and speeds up the process of letting go and bringing in new energy, keys and codes unique to you to embody. As the dense energy leaves you feel lighter, happier and the magical synchronicities come in more and more easily.Follow Up News:

Gerry shared with us her experiences of working with devas and elementals and gave us practical guidelines to assist us in developing the intuition and working with nature.
