I have a friend who’s area of expertise is permaculture and he is currently in Tanzania working on an important project that needs sharing so here is some info about the organisation and what they are doing ….

Global Resource Alliance (GRA) is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to bring hope, joy and abundance to rural communities in Tanzania through natural, alternative, low cost and sustainable approaches- holistic medicine, microfinance, permaculture….

By sharing ideas, volunteers and financial resources with local, community based organizations we seek to promote natural, holistic and sustainable solutions to the challenges of poverty, malnutrition and disease. The inspiration and leadership for our work comes from the communities we serve. We believe that empowering local communities to address pressing social, economic and environmental challenges according to their own vision and their own creative potential is the key to lasting solutions.

Is the moon tired? she looks so pale
Within her misty veil:
She scales the sky from east to west,
And takes no rest.Before the coming of the night
The moon shows papery white;
Before the dawning of the day
She fades away.

From Sing-Song by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)

February 2010 for me was

  • a series of ‘all about me moments’
  • wondering what turning 40 was going to feel like
  • turning 40 and feeling great about it
  • wondering why I was being drawn to the town I grew up in
  • feeling comfortable about being at home
  • getting excited about ‘maybe’ catching up with a friend that I haven’t seen for many years while I was at home
  • being very disappointed that it didn’t happen
  • BUT also had a great time catching with other school friends and
  • sharing my birthday with a special friend from Canberra
  • loved hanging by the ocean (I currently live inland SO really miss the ocean) I didn’t realise how much until showing some of my favourite ocean spots to a Canberra friend
  • had a fab time chilling out back in Canberra with friends AND
  • with my precious dogs Poppet and Tara – they are my bubba’s xx

Full moon magic is something that people have been performing throughout history. Each month’s moon represents different energies, depending on the time of year and what is happening in nature at the time. A full moon’s energy is very potent so many people choose to do powerful monthly magic on that evening. However, there is one extra special full moon; a Blue Moon. Because Blue Moons happen “once in a blue moon”, it’s a good time to take advantage of their valued energy for doing special magic, ceremony and ritual.

A blue moon occurs about every two and a half years, making it a perfect time to do special magic and honor the Goddess.

This special ceremony can be conducted as a group or just as beautiful on your own. .

If with a group each member of the group brings an item to place on the altar that represents the warmth of the summer growing season. Some ideas would be:

  • Fresh herbs or flowers
  • Summer fruits such as strawberries, raspberries
  • Solar symbols
  • Sea water, sand or shells

Assign a member of the group to call each quarter. Each person should stand at their assigned quarter holding their unlit candle (and a lighter or matches), and facing the altar. If there are more than four of you present, form a circle.

  • The person in the north quarter lights their candle (green if available), holds it to the sky, and says:

We call upon the powers of Earth,
and welcome you to this circle.
The sun’s heat has warmed the earth
and will bring us the bounty of the soil,
when the harvest time comes.

Place the candle on the altar.

  • The person to the east should light her candle (yellow if available), hold it to the sky, and say:

We call upon the powers of Air,
and welcome you to this circle.
May the wind bring us fruitfulness
and togetherness of family and friends,
in this season of growth and light.

Place the candle on the altar.

  • Moving to the south, light a red candle (if available) and hold it to the sky, saying:

 We call upon the powers of Fire,
and welcome you to this circle.
May the shining light of this season’s moon
illuminate our way at night,
as the sun has brightened our lives by day.

Place the candle on the altar.

  • Finally, the person to the west lights a blue candle (if available), holds it to the sky, and says:

We call upon the powers of Water,
and welcome you to this circle.
Although the earth may become dry and parched
during the long hot weeks of summer,
we know that again the rains will come
and bring with them life.

Place the candle on the altar.

  • Have everyone in the circle join hands and say:

We gather tonight by the light of the moon,
to celebrate the season, and rejoice.
May the next turn of the Wheel bring us love
and compassion, abundance and prosperity,
fertility and life.
As the moon above, so the earth below.

Go around the circle, share one thing they are looking forward to. Summer is a time of growth and development before the harvest arrives. What do you plan to manifest for yourself in the coming month? Now is the time to state your intent.

  • Take a moment to reflect on the growth you’ve seen since Spring, in yourself and those around you.

A lovely way to finish is read and feel the energy of the Luna Prayer – see below for the words xx

Moonlight Magic

Jan 30

Believe in yourself – for you are wonder of creation

Let go of fear – and you’ll discover a shining star

Trust in the healing power of love, for you are an ocean of light, reflecting the light of the sun, universe and stars

The flame of love resides in your heart, it engulfs all in its path

Through this light, new stars are born. Explosions of love

A glowing heart that moves the ocean tide

One eternal heart forever bathed in light

The night sky a tapestry of jewels. Dew drops form an ocean

Starlight fills your heart with the glow of ancient Suns

Through trees, mountains and valleys

You shine eternally

Moon Goddess

Spiritual poem

What is a Spirituality Church? The word ‘Church’ is a bit off-putting…

A Spirituality Church is similar to any church in that it offers a place for you to slip out of the rest of your busy life and find that place within you that knows how to connect with Spirit, how to trust the flow of your life and how to look at your life from a more loving, powerful and harmless perspective.

What it is not similar to would be a traditional church in a religious sense of the word. It is believed that one often travels through religious lives to spiritual lives – the difference being that Spirituality is about the expansion of Light, learning how to trust the connection to one’s own initiative and intuition and breaking free of the old religious man-made rules about duty, guilt, shame, segregation and authority.

We are all connected to God, Goddess, Great Spirit, Universal Light, Buddha, Mohammed, Jesus – whoever and whatever your belief system allows – and we also carry a spark of that divinity within us to develop and heal ourselves with, and the others.

To take our Light beyond us is our life purpose and in essence, it not what we do during our time on this planet – it is about who we are, and what we choose to project, every day.

At our church, the mood is light, meditative, healing and the music is contemporary and uplifting, with an interesting talk each service about an aspect of life and how to get the best out of it.

Then, at the end of a service is the medium, who, as someone connected to both the physical and the spiritual worlds (a bit like a telephone operator) can offer messages from either loved ones in Spirit or advice from your team of guides. Everyone has this ability, and these mediums are no different to you, except that they are using themselves as an instrument through which Light (and with it information, knowledge or healing) is passed – similar to a bridge between ‘heaven’ and ‘earth’. By learning how to clear a space within oneself, we can all use this ability.

We also offer mediumship, healing, reiki, spiritual and personal growth courses and classes for those who would like to develop their own inner wisdom and abilities, and am always happy to offer volunteer positions at Church for those who would like to now take their work beyond themselves.

In time, we will also be offering childcare for those who can only attend with their children, in particular single parents and a library will be re-established for those eager to learn and study.
