Reunions and Sweat Lodges

August 26, 2008

This weekend Yes-I, James Ayotte, Sarah and myself were together again. It was a terrific reunion since the Gathering of the Peace Makers week. I am sensing from this weekend that we all will share this wonderful feeling when we are together again, either as a group or individually. It's a feeling of a growing cosmic family, with all the warm and familiar feelings you hope to get from our own paternal family's. A family that supports and encourages each other for each of our personal growth and grounding at the same time. In this video Yes -I talks about the formation of R.I.C.E The Research institute of Conscious evolution.

We came together this weekend much for the same reasons in North Carolina, to reason mostly as the Rastafarian's call it, but also to catch up on what is happening now. We were able to engage in a sacred fire building ceremony and a sweat lodge which is called the rainbow lodge built by Sequoyah Trueblood about two years ago. The first time we sweat in this lodge with Seqyuoyah we saw this double rainbow form directly over the lodge. however this particular sweat was to unify our intention and direction of this particular weekend.

The following morning James and Yes-I headed back to North Carolina to meet up with Robert Roskind for some further reasoning. We are putting together a fantastic event/happening that we would like to put the call out to interested parties now.

Starting on the evening of Friday Oct 10 and going into the day on Saturday Oct 11 we will be hosting in Connecticut an event that will feature Kevin Tincher furthering his teaching of Grandfather, Yes-I sacred fire ceremony

As this powerful event takes further shape we will be sure to let all that are interested know so please keep an eye out for this short but meaningful gathering. This will be a concentrated intentional and conscious gathering of people interested in furthering their own transformations.



I have included a quote which I borrowed from Yes-I's web page that I thought was wonderful and here it is:

The Good and Beautiful
Some people do not have to search -
they find their niche early in life and rest there, seemingly contented and
resigned.
They do not seem to ask much of life,
sometimes they do not seem to take it seriously.
At times I envy them,
but usually I do not understand them -
seldom do they understand me.

I am one of the searchers.
There are, I believe, millions of us.
We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore
life,
hoping to uncover its ultimate secret.
We continue to explore ourselves,
hoping to understand.

We like to walk along the beach -
we are drawn by the ocean,
taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty.
We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities
as well.

Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter.
To share our sadness with the one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can
know -
unless it is to share our laughter.

We searchers are ambitious only for life itself,
for everything beautiful it can provide.
Most of all we want to love and be loved.
We want to live in a relationship that will not impede
our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls.

We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.
We are wanderers, dreamers and lovers,
lonely souls who dare ask of life everything good and
beautiful.

And speaking of poems Richard Brown sent me this poem written and performed by Rick Fellington two brothers from the Gathering! The poem is called "What if" Thanks you Rick and Richard.


Just before James left us here at Blue Star he was able to share with us one final thought.
