20 June, flew in from Berlin to Bristol, arriving around 6 pm, where I caught the buses back to Glastonbury. I get on and Hannamari is also on the bus. I had met her through Michiel last year, and we talked the whole way. There was a heat wave and the bus was really hot. It was nice to enter again and see the Somerset green valleys and trees. And to spot the Tor again as we approached.
I was to cat sit for a woman called Eleanor, and she kindly picked me up at the bus stop. I had come back to Glastonbury at this time for the Summer Solstice.
Eleanor liked to go on trips and so I ended up house sitting for her many times. With her Siamese cat called Madhu, at her place on Tor View Ave. This was a great house sit. I was thankful because it was close to everything. It was quiet and looked out over the levels. I sometimes did cleaning for Juliet at Healing Waters B n B down the road
Summer Solstice
The next morning it was an early rising at 4.45 am for the Solstice sunrise, on the Tor. This 21st of June was a really hot day in the UK.
I bumped into Tara Joy while she was playing music up the Tor. I came down with her. She sat down to play outside the White Springs before it opened. There is a guided meditation every year for the Summer Solstice at the Chalice Well Gardens. It is one of my favourite places in the world. I was there, as was Hannamari. It was a 33 degree day, and there was a heat wave. We had some fun with the sprinklers at Chalice Well as we were so hot. We meditated by the well head. Then we went to the White Springs. We both went for a cleansing dip in there. As it seemed fitting, and it was both of us out our comfort zones.
Hannamari and I were walking down the street. We saw a couple running a competition. It was very easy. We won a few free tickets to a music festival called Samphire in Devon that summer. She couldn’t make it but I went along later in the year.
Lemuria Rising Glastonbury Groups, 7-9pm at the Isle of Avalon Foundation, in Glastonbury. The groups started up again, with guest presenters.
Lemuria Rising – 13 July, The guest presenter for this group with a local, Jessica Boles. A soothing and healing Sound Bath. Syncing with her various instruments, spinning gongs, crystal bowls, large gong, singing chalices and bells.
Lemuria Rising – 4 August. This group was with fellow kiwi Helen Barnes. There was a New Zealand flavour to it. Helen channels and speaks light language. She was in Glastonbury as she was hosting a group in Avalon. So, we joined forces for a Lemuria Rising.
Lemuria Rising Glastonbury – 30 August, with guest presenters, Kwun Pang and Kerry Jane. Josh Preston came all the way from London for this group. He is a kiwi. I bumped into him at the shop beforehand. I didn’t know he was coming. He basically whisked it up the Tor, and then back down. Back down in time as we were setting up. And then whisked away bussing back to London before the end.
Lemuria Rising Glastonbury – 8 September. This group was with a local, Alexander Comberti, the focus was on toning and expanding the voice.
Lemuria Rising Glastonbury – 22 September, with Madeleine Walker (UK), at the peak of the Equinox energies.
Divine Alignment Meditation – 23 September, a meet, meditate and mingle on Wearyall Hill. It was a Silent meditation from 11am to 11.30am, with the intention of Peace and Harmony, with many gathering around Gaia on the Celestial alignment happening that day.
Lemuria Rising Glastonbury – 14 November, with Kwun Pang. Kwun also speaks and sings in Light Language in his work as a recording artist.
Lemuria Rising Glastonbury – 23 November, This group was ‘tune up’, with attuning for the seven chakras. Through light language and toning. This was an intimate group of six people. This was the first time I hosted a two hour group by myself. I had a lot of internal resistance but I did it!
Wick Hollow
I house sat for Michou and Glynis, with their dog Damson, in Wick Hollow. I loved walking Damson through the lanes and around the area to the foot of the Tor. I picked and ate the wild blackberries through the magic lanes. I walked down to the White Springs to collect water. I think I sat for them in June and 20th August to 20 September. I dearly loved staying there and spending time with a great love of mine, Damson.
I was walking Damson one day near the base of the Tor. A woman stopped me to ask for directions to the Egg Stone. So, it was hard to direct her, was easier to take her. So Damson and I were her escorts. She was so happy, she gave me a really lovely Amber necklace.
A fellow kiwi, Atlas came to stay at Wick Hollow for a few nights at the beginning of September.
Divine Templates – Starting on the 8/8, was a three day event. Which was being hosted by fellow countrywoman Gini Collin, whom I knew from New Zealand, together with Amakelia. We went to the Chalice Well together too. There were three women and three men for the event. A few people joined us at different places.
Also had a reading with Delhaina. In which the guidance was to keep bringing the groups to places. So, I was also away hosting groups in Ibiza, London and Ireland that year. It was a busy year for the Lemuria Rising Groups.
For a few months at the end of the year, over the Christmas period. I went to dog sit In North Brewham. I wanted to stay put for a while. To stay in the same place and not move.
For the Traveler
When you travel,
A new silence
Goes with you,
And if you listen,
You will hear
Love to say.
A journey can become a sacred thing.
Make sure, before you go,
To bless your going forth,
To free your heart of ballast
So that the compass of your soul
Might direct you towards
The territories of spirit
Where you will discover
More of your hidden life;
And the urgencies
That deserve to claim you.
