Earthwalk Portals to NOW
by Darlene Rollins
Living in the
Forest, I see such light and grace
The Presence of the Holy Bride, returning now to take her place
The presence of
the Holy Bride commands we dance and sing
To lift our hearts and call all souls to come and feast at her
wedding
Her wedding
gown is lacy green and lofts with every breeze
The little birds take refuge there. My lady fair, I hear them
sing!
I hear them
sing and in my heart I bless this new born day
The time is shor. Your Light is strong. I’m here with you. I
sing, I call.
This hymn arrived from the Astral on April 28th as the amazing translucent green of the tender new beach leaves began to unfurl beneath the blue angels’ wings. The “Presence” is so palpable here in the forest, and through me She calls. We are a portal into realms of healing and love, the presence of Christ as the Holy Bride, the glory of God with-in all of Nature; the shine of sun, the shine of moon, the shine of the sea and the forest. These forces of light are here to help lift us up. To help us find our proper place and our own natural vibration. To heal ourselves means to return to our state of union with nature and the spirit of God within all things.
The prolific buds on the Mountain Laurel, everywhere here at the Earthwalk Center are bursting forth in joyful anticipation of a Divine Wedding Feast whose energies are spilling over from the Astral into this Earth sphere. I invite, I call those who are ready now to reconnect with the Divine Matrix of Nature within and around you.
This means to face, feel and heal all the pain bodies, those suffering beings we are carrying with us. It is time for them to go to the light. It is time for us and the earth to be free, which means to be in natural balance within all our processes, through the power of Presence. Through the power of Presence we become the sacred alchemical container of transformation for all the negativities, addictions and imbalances we carry. In my understanding, we are actually carrying them in service to the whole, because we are the light that can heal them.
The Power of Nature is a great ally and teacher in this work. This is the essence of the Shaman’s knowledge, no matter what the form of the rite, or name of the beings s/he works with. This is our collective birth rite, we are all mediums, working with the powers that accompany us. This is the intelligence of the heart in the direct perception of nature. It is something we all possess, but is not awakened with in us. It is one aspect of our awakening. While we cannot will ourselves to wake up, we can with the help of Spirit, actively participate and cooperate with this process.
I find that the practices recommended by Eckhart Tolle, of being present to the inner energy body, being Present to Nature and being Present to the underlying dimension of Stillness are the most useful practices for developing our mediumship and healing capacity. This Memorial Weekend Open House at the Earthwalk Center will offer three days of experiential practices working with these portals to support our spiritual unfolding. Join us for one to three days of emersion into the presence of Nature, within and without, deepening into your own self awareness and connection with spirit and nature, while sharing the journey with a few fellow seekers.

5TH Annual Walking for Water Fundraiser
to Be Held May 31st in Leesburg, VA
Leesburg, VA-The 5th Annual Walking for Water Fundraiser will be held Saturday, May 31st, 8:30 a.m., at Morven Park's Equestrian Center, 41793 Tuft Lane.
The walk, sponsored by Wisdom Spring, Inc. and students from Heritage High School, raises money to bring the water of life to indigenous villages in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Since 2004, the walk has raised over $150,000 to build 15 wells in Burkina Faso, where drought is a continuous reality.
According to African ritual teacher Sobonfu Some', founder of Wisdom Springs, a nonprofit that raises money for wells, medicine and education in Burkina Faso, the goal of this year's walk is $100,000. “ We want to help preserve the culture of the Dagara people of Burkina Faso, who are very connected to the natural world.
”They are a people who carry an ancient wisdom and an understanding of the great cycles of the earth. .Yet, the villagers have faced not only droughts due to a constant shortage of rain, bur droughts of medicine and education.”
The annual walk for water is the brainchild of Kristen Karinshak, a former Heritage High School student, who came up with the idea after hearing Some' give a talk to students about her village. Presently, women and small children walk up to 6 hours to bring fresh water to their village with which to bath, cook and drink. According to The World Health Organization, about 45% of Burkina Faso's children die before the age of 5.
According to Susan Hough, the coordinator of the walk, “We expect about 600 participants this year, and people who cannot walk can sponsor a walker at the cost of $20 for adults and $10 for students. Participants are welcome to bring dogs on leashes.
The 10K and 5K walk is sanctioned by The American Volkssport Association (AVA), and participants are eligible for credits from The International Federation of Popular Sports (IVV).
People interested in registering for the walk may register by mail through May 27th by sending a tax deductible check payable to Wisdom Spring, Inc. , PO Box 542, Leesburg, VA 20178. People may register online through May 30th at http://www.wisdomspringinc.org. They also may register on-site on the day of the walk.
