Muniba Mazari, lovingly referred to as the Iron Lady of Pakistan, openly talks about how her life changed after a car accident left her without the use of her legs and how this has changed her perspective on life.

Guided Meditation & Sharing led by Robby Mac

Love is the eternal flow. The consuming passion and a major focus of our lives.

We are all familiar with it. Have had experience with it. Even believe we understand it.

For this evenings presentation, Robby will offer a few alternative views of what he has found love to be. Away from the passion of couples. A suggestion of concepts to open your own appreciation of what we may achieve. This will only be a short talk. After which Robby will guide the evenings participants through a meditation in sanctuary. A practice taught to and practiced by Robby for some twenty years.

*Please note our door ticket prices for general admission is $20.

11:11 Star Gate Ceremony – Embodying Divine Love through Meditation, Sacred Ritual & Sound

11:11 Gateway Ceremony with Julia Smith & her Selenite Swords & Tubular Crystal Harp and Jax Goldhawk with her Titanium Rainbow Crystal Bowl & RainbowFire Chimes

11 November is known as a powerful gateway NOW moment in the year – and with all the momentous gateways we have moved through already this year, including the transformational “Hallway of Eclipses” from May to September, we have all been asked to step up and into a clearer and more expanded Self Awareness. This 11:11 Gateway is providing us with powerful Divine Love energy to be immersed in and to help facilitate this Expansion.
Julia Smith once again joins us in this night of meditation & ceremony and will open the night playing the celestial music of her Tubular Crystal Harp of 10 tones of transformation. Julia will bring in the energies of the Higher Heavenly Realms, anchoring them to create Sacred Space and then lead us into a guided mediation, amplifying the Energy using her Swords of Light.
Each one present will have the opportunity to walk the ceremonial pathway to receive an individual healing from Julia’s energy and the Swords of Light – and to bathe in the Violet Flame of Transmutation that emanates from the Amethyst Crystal as the 7th Ray of Healing Light – the Cosmic Solvent that dissolves negativity and engenders Freedom & Pure Love.
Jax Goldhawk will add Magic to this ceremony playing her Titanium Rainbow crystal singing bowl & RainbowFire chimes.
We will finish by collectively gifting this loving energy to the Earth to also share to all Beings on the Planet.

Come along to receive the deep nourishing energy of Divine Love and to add to the group energy – we warmly invite you to participate in this Powerful Alchemy that you will benefit from and also be of service to our beautiful Earth.

In and Around the Academy with Deborah Fairfull

Hello dear members,

What a profound experience we shared at the academy last Monday evening. The divine Paulien Gort and Jewels Wakeman, filled our hearts and souls with music that was truly heavenly. I am still buzzing with the good vibrations three days later. Here is some feedback from one of our committee members regarding his experience:

I don’t remember much about it.

Just some bowls being rung and then I was far away.

Part of me came back with the rain stick but most of me wanted to stay out there.

Personally I didn’t want the music to end…

It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces along with the new. We welcome whole heartedly our new members and are always keen to hear any suggestions or feedback you my have.

I am so looking forward to the very special evening we have coming up next Monday evening with Robby Mac, who will undoubtedly remind us of our beautiful essence within.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Deborah.

You’ve been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.

GRAIL HAVEN ‘RAW’ WATER – HAND BOTTLED STRAIGHT FROM THE SPRINGS

Grail Haven bottled water has changed. It is no longer available in its present form. Should you want this unique and precious water there are two ways to obtain it. One is to make a pilgrimage to Mt Tamborine and collect the water. The other is to courier or post bottles to us to fill and we send them back to you. For instance, Ian White of the Australian Bush Flower Essences couriers amber glass bottles, we hand fill them and they are couriered back to him. This way you have the water straight from the springs as ‘raw’. For this we ask for a donation to the Grail Haven Not for Profit Fellowship. This money assists in maintaining Grail Haven as a place of beauty, peace, retreat and healing. Please contact us to order the water, the website no longer takes orders.
