The aim of this week’s newsletter is to remind us how to appreciate all that is.
FYI – It All Starts With Gratitude
The PeaceMaker – the Art of Dignity
“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.’ Mother Teresa
The Possibility Project is a Sydney based enterprise founded by Kim Pearce and Kath Davis. They deliver social justice programs through the mindset of social entrepreneurship.
For Kath and I peace is an absolute experience, it naturally arises when you choose to create from non-judgement. We move ‘peacefully’ between many different communities, none more apparent than our own in Sydney and that of the streets of Jaipur, and the simplest journey towards peace always occurs when we move from our heads (which judges everything) to our hearts (which joins).
“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means.’ Dr M L King.

SOUND Medicine EVENING
with SUNTARA
and MARC COTTEE – didgeridoo, JOE VANDERMEER – voice and JOHN BUTTERWORTH – gongs.
Suntara’s Sound Healing journey is a unique experience of the power of sound vibration.
Suntara creates powerful soundscapes to unblock energy and vibrate your body into a state of well-being and harmony.
People report various effects from the session including, complete relaxation, feeling “Clear”, reduced pain & stress, restful sleep for the nights after the sound event, altered states of consciousness, balancing of Chakras/Energy, Clarity and Resolution of difficult situations.
Daniel Coates (Suntara) uses his powerful voice to deliver chants from a variety of ancient traditions such as Australian Aboriginal, American Indian, Celtic and various styles of harmonic singing.
By surrendering, with a quiet mind, to the sound of the giant gongs, 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.
Suntara has performed and run workshops at Mind Body Spirit Festival, Peats Ridge Festival, Conscious Music Festival and Heartspace Festival.
This may be your last opportunity to hear Suntara as he is moving interstate.

So why live in lack when we can have prosperity?

In and Around the Academy
With John & Rosemary Butterworth
We received so many blessings from Master Robyn Rice on Monday night. We came away feeling centred and blissful.
I (Rosemary) felt that we were given such valuable information – the secret of aging – separation from Source. As we get older we have more thoughts and more thoughts mean a greater distance from Source. It was such a relief to find that by connecting to our Ming Men Chakra we couldn’t think. Wow! Rejuvenation is at hand.
To connect with the Tao (pronounced ‘dow’ – our original soul), Master Robyn had all present place one hand over their navel area and the other behind their backs directly opposite the navel area which she explained was where the ming men acupuncture point is. By simply focusing on the breath in this position, thinking is virtually impossible and there is just a state of ‘beingness’ or ‘oneness’: connection with the Tao. This is Dr & Master Sha’s teachings.
Master Robyn then allowed a message to come through from LaoTzu which concluded:
“The Tao is not far from us, but we are far from the Tao”.
Thank you Master Robyn for all you shared!
From Sally Gibb-Cumming. What an amazing Stepping Stone process. I am totally inspired by the revelations and insights received from the day.I surprised myself yesterday as the pattern of myself changed for the better. I am the Golden Nugget which you will discover when you enter the mystery of your Stepping Stones.
Yesterday, the day of the workshop unfolded so differently to what I had arranged. It is in learning about yourself that empowers the magic to guide you into a whole new realm of possibilities.
In teaching the Stepping Stones of which I participated, gave me the gems. I know I am on target to continue as long as I am focused on the results that I am aiming for. With clear intention the magic of life continues at a higher vibrational frequency. I am so excited about helping myself as well as others in evolving consciousness and entering the mystery.
With much love and gratitude I thank the universe for its support and to all those who have given me the loving thoughts and the energy to open the Aladdin’s cave with the Golden Keys to Self Mastery.
Did you listen to AngelheartRadio today? Annette McCoy interviewed Nancy Valentine Smith and it was wonderful! There was an activation that Nancy brought through (that you can still receive by listening) and WOW! Here’s the archive link to the show and don’t forget she’ll be with us on Monday 30th May in Mosman. See announcement above for details.
