Thank you for making the PHM a success!
The Planetary Healing Mandala gathering on June 4 was a profound success. It is hard to imagine unless you were there, but the energy of hundreds of people gathering for the same intent creates an ambiance of magic. As participants moved their way into a gently lit room, with seating and moving space encircling the back lit Earth hanging from the ceiling - you truly knew why you had ventured to the calling of healing for our planet. The Earth in all of her grandeur hung with pride in the center of this massive room as the guest of honor. Below her laid a sacred mandala created out of seeds and dried beans - which took form during group and intentional prayers just hours before. The energy in the air was a sense of peace, joy and oneness.

All ages gathered, children, adults, seniors, singles, families, couples finding their own unique place to connect with the intent of the night. As the sound of 150 drums called to action a focused vision of healing the Earth - a feeling of our innate community was created. Over the next couple hours, a weaving and healing with native elders and artists, dancers, didgeridoo, sacred sounds by gifted musicians, prayer, poem was shared as an offering to heal the planet and all beings who live in partnership with her. Some sat in silence, others moved through yoga poses , many laid down soaking in the energy and others took time just to "be", and then there were times that everyone was up dancing.
The evening's offering was a reflection of our true nature. That we do remember the Earth, and our role in relationship with her. Each of us walked through the door as individuals, but when we gathered in this powerful energy we became one with her and remembered who we were as beings intricately connected with our blue jewel. An offering such as the Planetary Healing Mandala activates within us compassion, awareness and a sense of responsibility to be the change that we seek in the world.

We hope you will join us next year for this incredible opportunity to give back to our planet that gives all that we have. A community gathering like this is what will help humanity to awaken to a new way of being in the world that returns a natural balance that is necessary for all living beings to live in harmony and peace.
We hope you will come join us at our next event and help us create a powerful healing for our beautiful home called Earth.
