I truly love Gina’s spirit and her open heart. I can’t recommend spending time with her highly enough.

From Gina:

Namaste chant friends! Jai Hanuman!

Blessed full moon, friends. What a potent
time this is! Today is Good Friday, Hanuman Jayanthi and the beginning
of Passover! And this weekend is celebrated Easter and the miraculous power
of Love (as how I see it). And Earth Day on Monday!

Please join me Monday 4/22 for a special Earth Day chant/raga/mantra
session at Shanti Shala (7:30-9pm). And I’ll offer a harmonium class if
there is interest at 6:15.

I am looking forward to chanting with you after
so much time away sharing on this path of sound. Pls, RSVP to
info@ginasala.com for either or both classes. The class will also help
benefit Protectors of the Salish Sea.

Also, I’m very excited and pleased to invite you to join the 2019 Awakening
Voice Sound School. I’ll have a mini immersion on Saturday 4/27 from
9-12:45.

Again, pls RSVP. The Sound Schools are a powerful, transformative
offering – the one I’m most moved by and people fly in to be part of them.
Please write for details: info@ginasala.com. No experience needed. “one
the most incredible experiences of my life” is how Kathleen Whalen of
Conscious Calendars describes it.

Whatever your path, may you feel the blessing of this Divine Light guiding
you from inside, illuminating with love even the most seemingly unloved
parts.

You are Beloved. You are That!

This from our dear sister Hayra:

Dear Dancing Ones,
As Earth Day approaches, let us acknowledge our pact with this immense Being.
We will also celebrate our freedom as we remember the liberation of the Israelites from slavery, as well as prepare our intentions for Easter.

Come alone or bring a friend… one who is seasoned or unfamiliar with the Dances.

NAMASTE is a beautiful space with a sprung wooden floor, ADA accessibility, and plenty of free parking.

Abundant Blessings,
Hayra and Elizabeth (and Murad)

And from brother Hassan:

Beloveds,
After talking with Amin and Khalid, we decided to push the date back a week to the 21st.   Yes, it’s Easter Sunday and I apologize if that inconveniences anyone.  At this time we could have Hamid with us and possibly not Wakil [I will be in California] due to some of his travel and school commitments.

Dear friends,

This is going to be a wonderful event, so I will be forwarding it via email as well as posting it here. Sorry if you get it twice. It’s important to review Daniel’s email and reply to him to let him know when/if you will come so they can plan the food, activities, etc.
Everyone is welcome, and I guarantee you will be glad you came!

From Daniel (and please email him to let him know if you are coming and to which parts of the event. (daniel.m.kirchhof@gmail.com)

Hi again friends!

Redundancy emphasizes importance, so I send a last reminder about the Hawthorn Farm Equinox Gathering in one week. As family, friends and community we gather to celebrate the season turning and to remember our place and our work tending the wheel of remembrance that not only keeps us alive, but helps us truly thrive. What your heart seeks cannot be found in the grind of modern life or in the empty promises our disconnected and failing society. Healing and wholeness are found in nature and in a deeply listening circle of community. This is a call to return again. I hope you’ll join us!

I am not enthusiastic about the large meeting (of Holy Men) in Boulder. I am far more interested in every Dance session you have, in every prayer and ceremony in the Truth Room (Meditation/Prayer Room), and in the least of your folk art projects. While not offering direct advice, I feel that when you are pulled by the winds of high sounding emotional endeavors you may be wasting time and energy. Look after the crops, goats, and now the cow. At least that is how I feel.    ~Sufi Murshid SAMUEL L. LEWIS

From sister Hayra:

Dear Travelers

That which has been buried under leaves and snow
The composting of the gifts from our ancestors
The richness of our full complement of chakras

Let the energy of life rise from the earth and our earthwindwaterfire
selves.
—–
Note: There will be a final opportunity to select from the tangible gifts
left behind by Zakira and Sundari.
