We are delighted to be offering an other event with our friends at
Rainbow Stew!
Think about all that is Light and Golden within you - whether it be manifest or forgotten; we will OPEN GATEWAYS
through which to bring YOUR INNER LIGHT forth, for your own healing, and to our world so in need of Light. Welcome the Newborn Sun as He grows now outward from the darkness of Winter. We honor him as He rises from the dead sleep of winter, blessing our hearts and the land with warmth and hope.

What Seeds do you nurture now, for birth in the Spring?
When and where:
As mentioned at the top of this email, we meet at Rainbow Stew in Yucca Valley. For those coming from afar, there are many area motels, bed and breakfasts and air B&B's to choose from. Search "Yucca Valley" or nearby "Joshua Tree". If you are able to do so, scheduling some time alone, especially in nature, after this event is a great way to anchor and integrate your renewed Light Body into your being. The beautiful Joshua Tree National Park holds a wealth of wonder, magic and spirit for those who seek it.
OK. Ready? Here you go. . .
What to bring:
1. We invite you to dress in White and Yellow/Gold.
The experience of this event may be enhanced by wearing WHITE and GOLD. White is traditionally worn in many spiritual practices around the globe; it allows us to release AND receive the purest Light Blessings; it is worn in honor of Spirit, of Light, of Cleansing and of welcoming the New. . . Gold reflects the shimmering Truth Within us, enhancing and reminding us of our own Golden HeartSun that is at the center of our body's universe. . .
2. A White Candle.
Bring water to drink. Hydration is key at all times, in all places, but particular attentiveness to your physical form's needs (and particularly in the desert!) tells your body and soul that you are serious about keeping your vessel blessed and well, so the highest aspect of your Divine Self may choose to embody and remain within that vessel.
4. A Stone.
Whether carved or un-carved, quartz crystal, some other crystal, or what some would call an "ordinary" stone, we invite you to bring a Stone Friend with you; this may be one you know well, or a brand new friend. Your stone, like you, will have an opportunity to touch and exchange energies with Zaba.
5. A Sacred Object to place on the Altar of Light.
This object may be anything that is sacred or special to you - stones, photographs of loved ones, your dog's collar, a personal altar item. You will, of course, take these items - freshly energized - home with you when you go.
6. A Gift for The Land and the Return of the Sun
We invite you to bring something that you hold dear but are willing to make an offering of. One cannot work with Stone Beings for long without realizing that the Earth we live upon is, indeed, a very generous Mother to us all. We also acknowledge the Earth's First Peoples; indigenous people who went before us on the land we now are privileged to stand upon. Therefore, in honor of the Land and First Peoples, we invite you to bring something that will absorb some of the healing energy we generate in our work together, that you will then bury or place in some natural place as a Blessing and Gift of Gratitude. Please chose a gift that is made of natural, bio-degradable material. This could be a local natural food product (fruit, grain, etc), a stick or pine cone, rock, some sand, a fetish made with love. . . our preferred gift is that of WATER. You would bring a vessel of water to be poured out in Gratitude at a location of your choosing after our event. Water is a sign of abundance and wealth, deep inner knowing, and holds Holy Magic.
It is also the most treasured element in the desert.
The event begins at 7PM, but doors will be open at 6:45 so you have time to find your seat, place your sacred objects and light a personal candle.
Please hold an image of the Light at the Deep Center of your Heart when you enter. We will break the Quiet with an opening chant of the OM sound.
We hope you will join us.
On an other note, we wish to extend an other sort of invitation. An invitation to participate, once or on-goingly, in a movement we are calling
The great
OFF-DEVICE/UNPLUG.
The idea for this initiative was inspired by this wonderful quote from author Anne Lamott:
A Message from Maya:
Many of us are aware that our devices emit electromagnetic frequencies that are unhealthy. Most of us know that we would be better off if we did not allow ourselves to be barraged by these. (You can read a bit about this here: Consumer health organization of Canada). But most of us do nothing about it. I recently had an imposed "device un-plugging" when my phone died and (since I have no internet at my home, and the place I go to access it was closed) I had no access to internet for several days. I have no words for how well this served my body/heart/mind/spirit; I felt deeply renewed and enlivened in ways I have only experienced when choosing to go off-grid into nature. . . Perhaps because it was unscheduled and unplanned, I was able to viscerally experience the healing so shiningly in contrast to my daily sense of well-being while "on-device".
Even 24 hours "Off Device" can replenish sleep, rejuvenate the physical body, clear the mind, release mental/physical/energetic stress. . . and actually allow the human light-body to regenerate, which, in turn, catalyzes regeneration on a cellular level. The immune system revitalizes itself and thus health on all level improves. We become present to our environment and interact with it more intimately (literally smelling the roses, for example), which brings back a once-lost sense of belonging in the world and kinship with it. We become present to those around us; we are faced with interacting with the people in our lives and issues normally hidden behind time and energy spent on our devices, and through awareness of one another our relationships can begin to mend.
And who knows what more, when we are caring for our vessels. . .
This experience inspired me to share my new plan with those who might wish to join me in manifesting and maintaining the amazing healing that comes from voluntarily choosing a day of Off-Device/Unplugging!
THIS IS A DARE:
ONE DAY A WEEK - NO DEVICES.
Try it. If you like it, pass it around. Imagine one day a week Off-Device for the whole world. I pick Sunday, but pick whatever works for you.
And if you can't do a whole day, do a half.
Breathe.
Listen.
Allow your energy and consciousness to expand into gentle perception of all that is around you. Enjoy JUST BEING, with no input or output on a mechanical or technological device. If you can, spend some of your Off-Device/Unplugged time in nature. Use all your senses. Breathe into your body and listen to it deeply; it knows what it needs for optimum health. It knows what it needs you to do - or stop doing - to and for it.
This is your one precious life in this particular body/vessel;
UNPLUG.
For Health & Humanity. (and therefor for the rest of our universe!)
First Official, Weekly OFF-DEVICE/UNPLUGGED day is
Sunday, January 24th.
(or any day you like, and ongoing!)
Join/Like/share our FB page and share your stories!
We Love you all madly and send Blessings and wishes for your body's health, your passion's wealth, your mind's clear light and your spirit's shine bright!
And as always, we share Zaba's reminder:
We are not here to seek Love.
Neither to give it;
We are here to
LIVE AS LOVE.
With and as Love,
Maya, Zaba & The Z Team
