participant, Boulder
"I
went to one of her evening presentations on the 2012
Mayan-Celtic
connections and weaving all these signs of doom
and gloom into something healing and positive for
ourselves and Gaia,
and I found it to be truly inspirational. I can't put into
words what I
have been thinking and pondering over since the talk at
the Morris
Hall, but it was just FAB and so I urge people to grab
Edie, go to a
workshop or presentation while she's in the UK and be
inspired!"

A
Rainforest Sanctuary Benefit
A
short overview of the
astronomical
alignments in 2012 and themes from
the Mayan calendar. We will also compare Merlin's prophesies
and
other Celtic legends about this time of change. Then we will
explore positive views of the future from Andean mystical
traditions
and Peruvian shamanic practices.
Donations
will
be gratefully received to benefit:
The
Rainforest
Sanctuary Initiative. The Heart
of the Healer Foundation (THOTH) has designed this Earth
stewardship
program to ensure the preservation of Amazonian biodiversity
and the
protection of threatened indigenous cultures. It already
includes two
sites:
The
Rios Las Piedras Rainforest Sanctuary. 15,000 acres
of
pristine rainforest in Peru on Rio Las Piedras. This project
combines
exceptional bio-diversity, support for the local
community, and educational outreach. THOTH has already secured
90% of
the land, and needs funds to complete the purchase of the last
1375
acre parcel, and for improvements and upkeep.
La
Torre Land. The future home of
THOTH's Sipapu Center. This
will be a
self-sustaining, eco-restorative world wisdom center
sited on
a 100-acre
parcel
on the Tambopata River.
For more
information on this vital effort, visit

This
is a
free will offering. No one will be turned away for lack of
funds.
Saturday Workshop -- 2012:
Co-Creating
a Conscious Future -- 2009
June 20, 2009, 10 am to 5
pm.
Private
location, call 303-415-3755 for
directions and carpooling information.
In
this experiential workshop we
will:
• Learn Earth-honoring practices for personal and planetary
healing
from
Peruvian
shamanic traditions
• Cultivate sacred reciprocity: Rituals for Mother Earth
• Receive luminous energy rites of the Q’ero Indians
• Rebalance polarities: mansculine/feminine, mind/body
• Explore remedies for cultural soul-loss
• Re-vision the future
The workshop will focus on Peruvian shamanic traditions, but we will also
honor the native
wisdom material of ancient
Britain, with focus on the life and prophetic
visions of Merlin.
This
is not the familiar Merlin of Authurian romance,
but the primal Merlin,
the Welsh Merlin, who emerges from the writings of
Geoffrey of
Monmouth. We will also listen to the ancient
wisdom embedded in
the Welsh folk
tale of the
Marriage of Eagle and Owl.
Optional activities following the
workshop include a solstice fire
ceremony Saturday evening, and a hike to a local apacheta
and/or a mesa teaching
about manifesting prosperity on Sunday. These activities will give
you
an opportunity to meet local members of the Pachakuti Mesa
community
who study with Peruvian shaman Oscar Miro-Quesada.

Information from The Heart of
the Healer (THOTH) website about Rio Las Piedras
http://www.heartofthehealer.org/programs/rio-las-piedras.php
It's a jungle out there! . . .
But
not for long.
90% of the Earth's remaining
rainforest is predicted to disappear by the year 2020
With your help we can reduce
that
number by over 15,000 acres immediately
Through our relationship with
Robin
Van Loon in Puerto Maldonado, serendipitous events have
converged in
the opportunity to purchase 15, 224 acres of endangered
rainforest on
the Rio Las Piedras in the Peruvian Amazon. This offer is
available to
THOTH until the end of October. After that the owners will
potentially
have to sell to those uncommitted to maintaining an ecologically
mindful approach to conservation, eco-tourism and the
preservation of
indigenous cultures. Add in the trans-oceanic highway cutting
through
this area and you can count on its destined demise. The cost to
transform the situation from destruction to restoration:
$105,000. A
very reasonable price to pay considering the Amazon rainforest
generates over 20% of the oxygen you breathe.
After a visit to the land Robin
reports, "I saw a greater diversity and density of animals here
than
I've ever seen along the Tambopata River. Going out into the
jungle,
spider monkey sightings are almost a given, even within 100
meters of
the lodge. Howler monkeys wake you up out of bed in the morning
with
their eerie alien chant. We saw tocon monkeys feeding on fruits
at the
edge of the lodge's clearing. We saw jaguar tracks, wild pigs
clicked
their jaws nearby, and macaws and parrots were a common sight
flying
overhead in pairs at sunset." You can feel yourself there
looking
through Robin's eyes. Yet do you know 137 species of plants and
animals
go extinct every day.
All is not lost. You continually
demonstrate your commitment to the restoration of our planet
through
your support of our earth stewardship programs. We thank you
from the
depths of our heart for your generosity. So it is imperative, in
humble
service, that we make this urgent appeal for your assistance to
purchase and protect the rare biodiversity of the Rio Las
Piedras
environment. Your much needed contribution to Pachamama's
protection is
greatly appreciated. We can co-create a destiny of hope with
your
support.
It is highly unlikely that
another
opportunity of this scope and at a cost that is within our grasp
will
be found. As founder, Oscar Miro-Quesada frequently says: "Now
is the
time and the time is now". Let us join together in this great
undertaking and bring into being our vision and our destiny:
Preserving
Indigenous Cultures, Restoring our Earth!

UPDATE on Rio Las Piedras, May 2009:
Generous contributions from the community have
allowed The Heart of the Healer Foundation (THOTH) to
complete
the purchase of 90% of the Rio Las Piedras land, including the
eco-lodge. They still need funding to secure the remaining
1375
land concession and upkeep of the land. One of the members
of the
Pachakuti Mesa community is currently in Peru at Rio Las
Piedras,
connecting with the local community and learning about the land.
THOTH
plans a trip to Rio Las Piedras in Sept.
Thank you!
¡Muchas gracias!
