The Feminine and the Magnetic

Cala Nova

30 September, and two friends, Beth and Darpan dropped me off at Bristol Airport for a 4pm British Airways flight. Arriving in Ibiza airport at 19.15, from there was a bus that took me directly to my destination of Cala Nova.  I met a Dutch woman Sabine on the bus journey.  And also met a young man from Africa, whom was working long hours at the hospital laundry. 

At the Cala Nova stop, Michiel came out of nowhere, he popped up as knew I was coming. He showed me to Camping Cala Nova around the corner. I had booked, so I signed in and left my bag. Heading straight to the beach, close by, where he introduced me to a woman from Israel called Danya.  I put my feet in the waters, and then headed back to set up camp.

The next day, I was going to somehow get to the Spirit Festival on another part of the island, Danya and Michiel decided to come too. We walked to the town nearby Es Cana and then got a bus to another town called Santa Euralia. Danya got the notion to visit her friend. Her friend runs a flower shop. This Dutch man was going to the festival, so he gave us a lift. He was a very bold driver. I was in the front seat. I wondered if we would make it in one piece.  Upon entering the festival, I saw a Reno hand drum for a good price. I wasn’t expecting to buy a drum, but I felt compelled to buy it.  It was good day attending different workshops, and dancing in the evening. It was held in a venue called Atzaro. We all got a ride back to Cala Nova afterwards.

I camped for two weeks there in Ibiza, with a perfect climate for it at that time of year. I would spend the afternoons in my ‘office’ in my tent, online organising the upcoming groups from my phone. The first week I was in Ibiza, I was called to stop and rest. I felt the feminine energy permeating in the island. It was also permeating through me. I needed to go inside, into the interiors of my being. I sat with whatever came up, and I was present with it. The first week was challenging. I wasn’t very social and was quite insular. I went through this process of introspection. It felt like going deeper into the feminine layers.

The second week, I was much more active and social, hosting also the Lemuria Rising group. At the campsite, there are many Spanish people whom live there over the summer, as its cheaper than paying rent. Dayna and Michiel are free camping in the hill beside the beach. I wondered if I should too. However, I have this gut feeling that I am to stay at the camp ground.  I felt guided to stay put there, and that I am to meet a new contact. 

Sure enough, up pops this Dutch woman, whom rolls in and setting up camp not far from me. We seem to have an instant understanding.  I let her know about the upcoming Lemuria Rising group. She says ‘I’m coming’. She also says she speaks light language. Sandra de Vos shows up. She invites me to join her in an early morning trip to Es Vedrà. This is a place I didn’t even know about, she had spent a lot of time there. she tells me its a powerful spot. 

Es Vedrà

9 Oct, the morning is arranged and waking early, Sandra shines her torch into my tent for me.  And we go. We were there all morning. We had the place to ourselves. We watched Es Vedrà without sun, and then as the sun hit the rocks.  We meditated and talked and Sandra did some healing for me, with playing her new medicine drum. Yes it is a powerful spot, Es Vedrà.

The Island of Es Vedrà sits gracefully on the southwest coast of Ibiza. Some claim it is the most magnetic place on earth. Others assert it is the third most magnetic, just behind the North Pole and the Bermuda Triangle.

Some people say that Es Vedrà Island lacks metal accumulation. But this nature reserve attracts many to view its charm, magic, myths, and legendary allure. Sitting in the middle of the Mediterranean sea, it is said to disrupt compasses.

‘Legend matches the idea that the islet of Es Vedrà is one of the three vertices of the Triangle of Silence. To summarize, this is the Spanish version of the world-famous Bermuda Triangle. In which the excessive levels of magnetism have caused navigation problems and interference to the crews that sail those seas’. (floatyourboatibiza)

We filmed a short video, where I am describing the Lemuria Rising groups, with the backdrop. It was all very spur of the moment, and done in one take, with Sandra filming. 

I realised long after leaving, that I had accidentally left a gift. In that I had left my Lemurian Seed crystal there, this I had carried with me since 2015. Michiel had given it to me. I guess it wanted to stay and its a new owner. 

Lemuria Rising – Ibiza

10 October, 5-7pm at Casa Ibango, San Rafael.

Sandra drove us in her car. We got there a bit earlier. Sandra helped me sweep and clean up the space ready for the group.  Sandra brought her drum and played too, Rachael and Aktara also came to the group. Trace and Sylvia play the hang drum, and they played some during the group too. Trace and Sylvia Harris own and run Casa Ibango. It was also an old music school. I had been in contact with them when I was looking for a venue in Ibiza. They refused my payment and were happy to host.

A small group of women were there for the Ibiza group. Holding with the feminine energy of the island. We all had a go on a few drums afterwards.

The group was held before the weekly drumming session and vegetarian meal. We stayed for a short while after. Trace is a Percussionist and was a Promoter for the Ministry of Sound. He started Ibango Drum Circle, providing the space for drummers to fall in synch with each other. He says, “I prefer more gentle rhythms that are slower and with soul; it’s much more technical. And that’s what the Ibango drum circle is all about – the rhythmic beat, not just power… a team playing together.”

I gifted Sandra a Lemurian healing one morning on the beach to say thankyou for the Es Vedrà trip. And then she was moving into her new rental house, as a chain of events had led her to find the place of her dreams in Ibiza

Sandra de Vos texted me. She said that whilst meditating, a message had come through. She was to offer me a healing. She then came to pick me up at Cala Nova, which is a forty minute drive! Her new gorgeous house was further north on the island.  The healing was very powerful and it was 2 or 3 hours long. After the healing she gave me a crystal that she said was a Lemurian seed crystal.  Of course I was in deep appreciation.

Home

I walked over to the Hippy Markets one day. Sabine sent me a text on my last night in town. She wanted to see what I was doing. She came over and met us for dinner. Michiel and Danya joined us with another Dutch woman called Ellen.  Seems there a lot of Dutch people on the island of Ibiza. Sabine I had met on the airport bus, and she fills us in with all her escapades.  Later Danya, Sabine and I walked back to Cala Nova beach. We danced and sung random cheesy songs at the top of our lungs.  We exhausted ourselves, and said goodbyes.

Maybe the rock there is heightened with a charge. Be careful what you want to to tap into on this powerful island. As it might come back to you twofold.

14 October, packed up camp, and caught the bus from Cala Nova to the airport. For a 11.30 am Ryanair flight to London Stanstead.
