In and Around the Academy with Jax Goldhawk

Last Monday, Jax & Clare shared the Earth Treasure Vase Full Moon Global Meditation for Peace & Earth Healing .

There was a small gathering with heartfelt honoring of the Earth Treasure Vase Practice and the role the Next Generation ” Baby ” Treasure Vase will play when placed in Yuin Country in March 2018. We shared stories & smiles & tears & expansive Joy and were all nourished by the experience which re-activates our connection to the Web of Light and feeds Pure Love into it – amplifying the Light Quotient in the Earth for All.

For more information regarding participating in the Yuin Vase Placement trip with Manbulloo ( Ben Emery )  from 17 to 25 March 2018 from Canberra to the East Coast, please contact Jax on captiv8t@tpg.com.au.

There will be more details available on the Transformational Tours website next week – the trip is facilitated through our Brother Jeremy Ball.

An integral part of the Earth Treasure Vase practice is the invocation of Green Tara – the Goddess of Compassion and the Destroyer of Obstacles in all planes of Existence.
She is a very relevant  & powerful Presence in these Times. – one of Gaia’s Great Guardians.

Community Events

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.
