General Meeting, a “Test Run” and other news

     We will meet on the 27 of April, 5:30-7.00am UTC (you can find your time here)

The link to join: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/4263056185

Test Run (Community of Practice) for “Planetary Poetics” facilitated by Dawn Mazzone, Thursday April 28, 8-9 pm UTC
(Your time here: https://everytimezone.com/s/0b84a1cd.)  

Please join us to sample this offering that Dawn wants to bring to DA.  Planetary Poetics: A meditation for the Earth, the Sky, the Water and all Beings. Poetics refers to ancient wisdom, and the spiral of inter-being between ourselves and the planet. The process gives guidance on hand position for six elements, a visual image all related to a circle, and a sound. Each of the six is uncomplicated and flows easily. You can think of it as an “open-eye” meditation. It starts with activating our energy connection to each other and then the Earth and the Cosmos.  We use the word “infinite source” to be neutral as this is not religious based; it is earth and cosmic based.
