Not only is it solstice, there is a full moon. May love surround you like sunshine on a sunny day.-Wm. Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Dear friends-
The sun is shining bright in one of the longest days of the year, the sky is blue, the ground is warm and it is full moon time. May you feel the fullness/wholeness and completeness (“puurna” in sanskrit) of that Love within you that is always present. We are here to grow in Love, here, in human form in apparent duality. We do not have to be perfect to be loved or even worthy of love. We can be healthy in discernment, but still allow that Love to shine on everyone. Friends, special blessings on this of the Divine Masculine- radiant solar energy, and to all you dads and all who have shared this divine masculine parenting energy in any way. We are always learning, and all have blind spots. Forgiveness of self and other is like regular house cleaning. Love frees us all to remember Who we are, and feel our union. You are worthy and we are all awakening, even as the cucumber is released from the vine at the right time.
Friends, come chant with us and remember Who you are this Monday, June 17 (harmonium a chant classes) and on the full moon and Friday, June 21 on the Summer Solstice with deep music and a full grooving band for kirtan! It is in allowing even in human form to be touch in vibration by Divine Love, that we transform, that the world transforms! Join us!
Special offerings this week:
Welcome Monday Moonday, June 17- harmonium class at 6:15 and chant/mantra raga class 7:30 pm at Shanti Shala to start the week off in high vibrations and loving community. Please write to info@ginasala.com for details and to RSVP. End the week and sing at the peak – summer solstice this Friday, June 21 also at 7:30. The band includes the grooving Jeremy Jones on percussion, Stephen Metcalf on bass, Lisa Budell, Curt Rosengren on vox, Steve Grant on Vox and other rhythms, plus other guests and… YOU! Proceeds help support the Backbone Campaign and Oceans Conservancy. Tickets are $25 in advance here or $30 at the door. Of course, write for special requests or needs.
Also, if India calls you to come, join us on this year’s River of Sound India Tour. I’ve been leading the tour since 2005 and am offering some different options this year, so please write soon if you are interested. Welcome.
May the great vibrations of Love and joy, of creation and Creativity that come through, bless all beings in this world with remembrance of Who we are.
Much love
Gina
