"While there is nothing wrong with the intention to improve your sense of self and life circumstances, it can be very revealing to discover how this insistence on improvement may be cutting into the direct, embodied experience of a natural completeness that is available now, the pure, miraculous flow of life that is here now, which is not dependent upon first improving yourself. We spend so much of our sacred life energy intent on bettering ourselves and our lives that we lose touch with our native wholeness and completeness, which is always already here, if we will take the time to see."
Matt Licata, from the book "The path is everywhere"
Anyone else going to the Trevor hall on the 25th? I think few of us will be their and shooting to meetup earlier near the venue at the Bowlounge around 5pm if you wanna join us feel free :-)
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Welcome to April 2023! April, synonymous with rebirth and growth, celebrates the arrival of spring. Associated with the goddess Venus, this month reminds us to focus on the fundamental value of family and the beauty of love. April is a time of awakening, renewal, and celebration of life. In this divine month, we are reminded of the importance of nurturing connections and embracing life's joy. This is the ideal time to meditate, practice mindfulness, and raise our consciousness while engaging with abundant psychic energy.
During this awakening month, let us honor our bodies, connections with others, and the Earth by indulging in local, in-season fruits and vegetables, and exploring our sense of sensuality. Spend time outdoors, witnessing the world come to life in the vibrant colors of spring. April's symbolism of love and beauty, influenced by the Roman goddess Venus, reminds us that life's challenges help us grow into the person we aspire to be. Embrace love and cherish the beauty that surrounds us in every moment.
Let us celebrate the sacred energies, and harness the transformative power this month has to offer. We wish you a joyful, inspiring, and spiritually enriching April ahead.
Almost the entire team will be in ceremony this weekend so we will be slow on the responses, but we will be back in Anna Sunday for service 3-5 see you soon :-)
Thank you all for the advice on La Dieta, I'll do my best!
