The longest Day . . .

. . . and, shortest night of the year in the North hemisphere occurs this Friday, June 20 at 10:41 p.m. Our ancient ancestors certainly took note of the yearly occasion by celebrating the astrological beginning of summer. In those early years it was often referred to as “Midsummer.” Common practices include lighting bonfires, gathering herbs, and engaging in nature walks. Of course, feasting, dancing and staying up late to witness the sunrise were also ways to celebrate the longest day of the year. Not being one that stays up late, I will probably do the nature walk . . . which I do nearly every day. What a marvelous time of year to gather with people you care about and enjoy some stories and laughs. There truly is magic when connecting to the natural world. Humans are interesting and, indeed, can be quite “entertaining,” however, walking or sitting in the natural elements can touch our hearts in ways words cannot express. Silence offers a peace that passes all understanding. Give it a try during these long summer days and/or short summer nights. The wisdom each carry is beyond mere words. And, the starry nights offer a depth of unspoken heart-felt emotions that can only be experienced. 
   As we move through these times of great upheavals and change, in my heart, observing the steady, consistent teachings nature offers brings great comfort to my soul. It is a constant reminder that whatever we humans are doing, growth, support, wonder, and an unshakeable faith awaits those willing to pause and listen with their heart’s ears! 
                                          From my heart to yours, Vicky
Reminders:  
The Deepening into Wisdom circle is this Thursday, June 19 from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome to come and “sit a spell” as we share the stories of our Fathers. 

The new class, "Infinite Possibilities, The Art of Living your Dreams," is scheduled for Saturday, June 28, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Yes, it’s a very long day; however, the teachings offered will empower those in attendance with a deeper understanding and useful tools to manifest whatever is beckoning to be brought forth. This class is more than a new concept; rather, it offers a close look at how your “Thoughts create your reality,” and how our beliefs undergird everything you “think, say and do.”   Read more about this on the Community Events link on our webpage, along with responses and praise by some very enlightened individuals.
