The Gift of Challenging Relationships, 4-5 August 2016

4-5 August 2016

With Andrea Ann Barrowclough & Franco Santoro.

Deep love relationships are gateways to other dimensions, to whatever and whoever are perceived as separate. Often intensely challenging, as they can shatter the illusion of human consensus reality, shedding light on beliefs and conditioning, denials and fears, allowing us to realise our true being.

This is  a unique workshop, which explores relationships from many perspectives, spiritual, multidimensional, shamanic, pragmatic, simple and ordinary, with the aim of healing connections with yourself, partners, relatives, friends and significant people in your life.

Drawing from our experience as a couple, the healing works with thousands of people and deep, intimate relationships with family, we will track and release blocks that inhibit the capacity to love, identifying the underlying issues that hinder relationships, promoting compassion, healing, peace and fulfilment.  Employing the astrological chart, we will identify and explore experientially and shamanically the healing dynamics of relationships.

The workshop is designed for all types of relationships, encompassing couples in intimate or platonic connections, work partnerships, service and spirituality, as well as, rapports with friends and relatives.

The event takes place at il Casale in Lunigiana, a centre of light, based in nature, entirely surrounded by the Apuan Alps and the Appenine, brooks, on the Via Francigena in the historical territory of Lunigiana.

Keep your feet on the ground

If your practical life is based on illusion, no matter how you seem to keep your feet on the ground, they are truly in the air.

You are bound to fall.

You are dreaming, and the ground where you believe to stand, including yourself, will vanish as soon as you wake up.

However, if you are aware of your dreams, and there is a luminous one which you truly like, then you can decide it to be part of your practical life.

No matter how impossible it seems to be, you can gather the courage and determination so that your dream keep its feet on the ground.

Full Moon in Scorpio, 22 April 2016

This Full Moon takes place at 5:23 GMT on 22 April 2016, when the Sun is in Taurus and the Moon in Scorpio at 2°30′.

Both Taurus and Scorpio build up, gather and concentrate energy aimed at empowering creative expression.

Taurus stresses the pragmatic, physical and constructive side, while Scorpio emphasises deep emotional and transformational currents, the materia prima of any relevant manifestation. Here intense emotions, covering an ample range of frequencies can easily erupt. These can either be released for the general highest good or directed towards specific practical achievements.

The Full Moon in Scorpio is known in the Theravada Buddhist countries of South East Asia as Wesak: the birthday, enlightenment and entry into Nirvana of Buddha. In this respect it is considered as the most powerful Full Moon of the year.

It was on the night of the Full Moon in Scorpio that Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree at Buddhagaya and attained total enlightenment. According to esoteric traditions the Buddha returns at this time every year to dispense healing light to the world. Spiritual masters led by the Christ gather in the Wesak Valley, a mythic multidimensional location in the Himalayas, position themselves in a vast pentagram, while the Buddha radiates light.

It is believed that during the five-day period of the Full Moon, which includes two days before and after the day of exact Full Moon, direct contact can be established with the Great Masters and the Forces of Light that hold the planet.

When a sufficient number of people come together, connecting personal with collective history and aligning with luminous intent, this strengthens the foundations for the expansion of human awareness and the reawakening of our multidimensional nature. In this respect all group meditations and rituals, sustained by a clear collective intent and inspired by a healing basic purpose, provide major benefits to the human and general environment.

Here any activity can indeed be transformed into a meditation or ritual, especially those involving expression of vast amounts of energy or significant transformational processes, such as eating, going to the bathroom, being sensually involved, etc.

What counts, as often as possible, and in any circumstance, is to keep the connection with the web of life, reminding ourselves that no matter what feelings we experience, we are always part of the whole, which means that even though we may appear separate and disconnected, the reality is that we belong to this universe to which we continue to give our precious contribution. Unveiling, understanding and accepting the nature of such contributions involves reawakening our memory, releasing the veil of autistic illusions that keep beating us up and fully embracing what we truly are.

On this Full Moon in Scorpio seekers throughout the world join in meditation or ritual events, releasing the veil of their limitations and becoming receptive to their multidimensional nature. The day of this Full Moon is known as the Day of Safeguarding, which involves holding the energy generated by the alignment with our multidimensional nature. The two days following the Full Moon are called the Days of Distribution, implying passing on the accumulated energy to the web of life.

Illusion and separation

When you realise that you live in a world based on illusion and separation, then your whole life becomes a quest for truth and unity.

However, in a world of illusion and separation, the quest for truth and unity may also be a form of illusion and separation.

When you realise that you live in a world based on illusion and separation, then you need first of all to stop taking yourself and others too seriously.

Journeys to Alsadorvam:

Destination: ALSADORVAM island of Anthem and city of Atrium.Trinity reference: 1:12:6

On arriving at the Al Kirware Proport I met with an Agent and established an instant restore point. I was given a Cone phone by the Agent and then met the PDB Captain. I realised he was my old brother yet with a thick black moustache. I found this to be very funny. The terminal building was full of military personnel. The Captain walked me to the departure point for Alsadorvam. At the check in desk for Anthem I was asked for the password – I instinctively gave the name Franco Santoro and was permitted entry to shuttle. I sat next to another Agent on the shuttle yet was asked to remain in silence, which suited me very much.

On arrival at the city of Atrium, I was met by a PDB First Officer whose name was Kirtain. He had the same face as my younger brother and I felt instantly at ease with him. He asked me what I wanted to do on the Island. I said I wanted to tour the city [a biblical looking place with low, round houses made of a sandy coloured mud] and then explore the countryside. He asked me what my intent was and without thinking, I replied that I needed to connect with the energy of The Warrior. He informed me that we would visit the Grove of the Warriors, a woodland of ancient twisted trees who were a species of tree warriors.

After a brief tour of the city we made our way out into the rural area surrounding Atrium. We soon came to a deep river gorge which was heavily forested. Kirtain led us down a narrow path to the bottom of the gorge where we moved through lush vegetation and small shrubs. I then began to notice the scenery changing, with larger trees and less ground cover. We reached a place where the trees were very old. I understood we had reached the Grove of Warriors. I asked Kirtain if I had to do anything before entering and he told me I had to remove my clothing. He said I must move into the Grove in a state of complete transparency, unashamed of my nakedness.

Once in amongst the trees, I experienced a sense of kinship with the Warriors standing all around me. There was no atmosphere of aggression, or threat; in fact, what was most apparent was that the trees were reservoirs of a deep peace that had resulted from a dedication to discipline, integrity and ruthless commitment to the neutrality of freedom. They told me I was free to connect with them at any time, from any location. Before leaving the Grove, I drank from a pure spring found amongst the roots of one of the trees.

Having joined Kirtain once more, I sang a song of gratitude to the trees, thanking them for their advice and offer of support. We made our way back to the city and I thanked Kirtain for the companionship. I felt very close to him. Back at Al Kirware Proport, I watched the latest updates on large video screens of the various battles and skirmishes taking place in the Handorian State System. I understood that many troops were constantly fighting to protect the system from various forces who wished to engineer its demise. I experienced a brief surge of anxiety when considering the challenges facing me on Earth, yet in acknowledgement of this feeling, I felt ready to respond in a way that would honour the meeting that took place in the Grove of the Warriors.

On reaching the Spirit Circle, I moved to the centre and was joined by my various Guides. We drew close together and I felt deeply connected and supported by them all. A voice then rose above us saying we must work together to end the tyranny. This was repeated over and over until the Guides and myself joined our voices as one in a cry of Kahesha Opa.

Journeys to Akir Wayah:

I registered my intent in the Spirit Circle and travelled to Al Kirware Proport. It was night time and the whole place was deserted. A beautiful orange moon was hanging in the sky.I met the same PDB Captain as on the previous journey and set a restore point. An Agent approached me and told me he would accompany me throughout the journey. We got into a silver hover car and began the journey to Azureyth. Leewer [the PDB Captain] as me not to speak and we travelled there in silence. It was utterly dark and I had no idea what the terrain was like we were moving through.

The destination was reached and I saw a circle of large bare trees lit up by hidden spotlights. Leewer told me all had been prepared and that I was enter the circle, state my name and intent and proceed with holding the Basic Ritual of the Sacred Cone. I understood the location to be called the Sacred Cone Dedication Centre.I moved into the centre of the circle and did as I had been asked. As the first stage began, first one then many kangaroos moved into the light. They were soon joined by old men in white robes with white beards and then by a mass of different human figures all wearing bright clothing. I drummed and the crowd began to dance. A large snake appeared and moved through the mass of bodies. It seemed to be an honour to be knocked over by it. I began to feel very breathless and invited the snake to help me. It came at me with speed, reared up and sank its fangs into my chest, each one puncturing a lung. A cloud of gas poured out through the holes and I experienced some kind of relief. The snake disappeared into the shadows. One of the human figures rubbed a paste into my chest.As the second stage began, the circle cleared and I was left alone with Leewer. I slipped into a powerful chant which continued until the end of the stage. We stood at opposite sides and began to run around the inside. We ran so fast that sparks were flying up off our feet. A groove in the soil was created and we sank down to about 2 metres. I felt much expanded and experienced a blissful feeling that was also painful and made me feel sick all over my body. Leewer caught me up and pulled a zip at the back of my neck. I noticed she now had my own face, complete with a healthy beard. My human skin fell away and I saw that I now wore a skin tight blue material. I had also become completely transparent.  As we began to move again the sides of the groove began to light up with millions of blue capillaries. I understood the energy being created was feeding the local landscape. When Leewer caught me up again, she disappeared inside me and I experienced a deepening of the painful bliss. I felt afraid yet heard Leewer’s voice encouraging me to endure and develop the quality of discipline through acknowledgement. I was then joined by the rest of the group. We began running around the groove skipping with joy and laughter. I felt such loving support and was grateful for the presence of such friends. Everyone apart from Franco then also disappeared inside me. Franco was joined by a number of small figures who were wearing conical hats and bright colourful clothing. They too eventually moved inside me.As the third stage began, I returned to the surface of the circle and the groove disappeared. I became restless and then saw Leewer again. She told me to be patient and to allow the quality of patience to flourish within. The crowd came back out of the shadows and one by one, touched me on the head, or brushed against me with their bodies. I felt a deep connection with them and laughed out loud with gratitude. I understood that I was The One – the one who could live the challenge of my own life. A spirit of the trees, made of bark and leaves, appeared over me, shaking a rattle. He told me I was fully entitled to the gather the strength needed for this work and feel supported with my endeavours. I moved amongst the crowd and each person I touched became luminous for a few seconds. Leewer than advised me to move out of the circle, into the surrounding landscape, to share what I was experiencing. I understood I would run all the way back to Al Kirware Proport. As I ran through the night, the darkness was total. At one point, I sensed I was standing over a deep pit which I shouted into.As I reached the Proport, Leewer came beside me and told me she would always be available as a source of support. I thanked her and we embraced. On returning to the Spirit Circle, I connected with the Guide and moved to hug the Great Tree. I offered whatever was in excess within me to the Centre and then concluded the journey. (DM)
