aveburyvernal Ceremonies

As “Intent Holders” for the Peace Across the Planet” organization, We organise gatherings to honour the traditional festivals of Solstices, and Equinox (often in sacred sites such as Avebury, Stonehenge, and other stone circles), centering around the “U.K. Shiva Lingam” ~ an 80kg ovoid jasper form from the sacred Narmada river in India.

These occasions are open to all who wish to involve themselves with Earth Healing Intent, and to align with the properties of this powerful Crystal Healing Stone. As We generally use gongs in Our meditation practice, various other Sound Healing presentations are often held nearby on these days as well.

Future, and recent, events are recorded below

WINTER SOLSTICE-AVEBURY 22-12-11

Golden Autumnal Greetings!

with Best Wishes that You felt that You were benefiting from the huge uplift in vibration around Our rapidly changing World!

As We witnessed another gloriously beautiful British autumn deepens toward the winter, there was an invititation to a Celebration of the coming Solstice at Avebury; welcoming the “turning of the Light” towards the new year.

The U.K. “Peace Across the Planet” Shiva Lingam was placed in the “Sun Circle”, on an altar base of Yew, & surrounded with powerful crystals (various others were added by attendees), with earth from other sacred sites, and was the center of a Winter Solstice Earth Healing Ceremony – which began at 5:30 p.m. (12hrs after the actual moment of Solstice).
A channeled “Listening” from the “Peace Across the Planet” Shiva Grid was followed by a guided Earth Healing meditation (with Earth & Sun gong interlude) ~ in which We honored Our Ancestors; aligned with the Elemental (and All other), kingdoms of the Planet; affirmed Our Intent to Be Instruments of The Earth Mother’s Healing, and of a Raised Vibration at this profoundly transitory time.

The Avebury Village Hall was booked, as per the last two years, to run a Sound Healing Event from 6.30 – 10 p.m. 
This comprised of various presentations of Sacred Sound, using Intentional Meditation, song, group drumming, crystal & Nepali bowls, monochord, “gong baths” using multiple Paiste “Earth” gongs, and was followed by the sounds of a full set of the Planet series. Tickets were £25. 

However, the Hall was open from mid to late morning, and All were welcome to come & “connect”, and to share this special day with like-minded folk.
There were hot drinks, soup, & snacks (including Helen’s famous raw chocolate delights! :), available from the kitchen throughout the day.

Impromptu Sound presentations took place in the afternoon as well (voluntary donations: for “Peace Across the Planet”.org) please enter quietly if You arrive during one of these.

(The core of Our group were at the Winter Solstice public opening of Stonehenge at 07.45 on this morning ~ maybe We saw You there as well)
                    
                                              
… a BIG Thank You to those who helped make this a very special day!

Avebury Summer Solstice

We were gathered in Avebury again for Summer Solstice,

assembling just before Sunrise (4:15am 21/6/11)

on the ridge adjacent the “Moon Cove”,

to welcome the Light of the Solstice with multiple Earth & Sun Gongs.


Because the National Trust has, at very short notice, withdrawn the booking of the Study Centre, there was

a much less formal Sound Healing Event that ran through the afternoon at the Avebury village hall.

Sound presentations were offered by The Bards of Avalon, Catherine Gaze & Sheila Cornfield, Vincent Levinson, & Adrian Mieras,

~ using voice, group chant, monochord, crystal bowls, and a number of Paiste planet gongs.
The hall was booked from 10 -5:30, and all were welcome to attend & participate.

There were hot & cold refreshments (+ raw chocolate treats:) available through the day.

At 6pm We held a Peace Across the Planet/ Earth Healing Ceremony in the “Sun Circle”

As the planet moved through the Equinox (18:17GMT), We endeavored to harness and anchor this moment of Celestial balance, for the benefit of All That Is.

First pictures posted here.
(& sound file links to be posted very soon!)
… hoping to share those Energies with You, where ever You may Be

About Melody Workshops

The format for the workshops was devised by Melody, and I feel they are a very direct and easily accessible introduction to the Healing Energies available to us from the mineral kingdom.

They comprise of two two day workshops: Level One (now over 2 days) & Level Two respectively. Level One is open to all, and is an introduction to Melody’s work and her approach to crystal healing, with plenty of practical experience of healing arrays and methodology; it is also a prerequisite to Level Two, which when successfully completed, results in Practitioner Certification.

Topics included in Level One:

  • Etheric bodies and Chakras
  • Methodologies for cleansing crystals, and for chord removal
  • Mineral elixirs – preparation and applications
  • Crystal arrays
  • Laying on of stones with laying on of hands
  • a copy of Melody’s book “Laying on of Hands with
    Laying on of Stones” is included in the Workshop fee

Topics included in Level Two:

  • Intuitive Healing with intuitive placement of minerals
  • Past life Ascension
  • Selected crystal arrays for the furtherance of self
  • Tibetan Pulsing with Laying on of Stones
  • Jin Shin Jyutsu

I Am sure you will find both Workshops an interesting and fun approach the subject, full of powerful information.

…. & don’t forget, “Gratitude Rocks!”

10:10:10 Event, Avebury

There will also be a 10:10:10 Event at Avebury on Sunday, 10th October.

As You can see from the pictures link there were many Ones!
We gathered to meditate around the Peace Across the Planet Shiva Lingam altar, itself surrounded by various crystals & carved crystal skulls brought by participants. EveryOne was given a small Shiva, which they were asked to place in their left hand and offer to the person next to them, as We All made a ring of hands, and then connected to each of the Elemental Kingdoms with Our breathing patterns. After reading the Listening, and taking a few minutes to ponder on the effect of these words, We continued with a guided Earth Healing meditation (including an interlude with Jupiter gong vibration).
Further power-full words of Wisdom were added by Terry, “Keeper of the Stones”; and the Ceremony was closed by a wonderfully long rolling toning by One & All!
It was truly a circle of Light!
In the afternoon there was a Sound Healing Presentation in the National Trust Study Rooms with Sacred Invocation & song from Bea & David, and Sheila & Catherine (who also played Crystal bowls & monochord)  Adrian sounded a gold covered Quartz bowl, and “Sedna” gong; Mark Swan offered a sound meditation using a full set of Paiste planet gongs; Jonathan Barnett (Sound Travels) treated us to the Sound Creation “Earth” gong; and finally 3 Paiste “Earth” gongs, played together, truly rearranged the atoms of All those present! ;D

The photo below was taken just after 6pm on the day of the Equinox, September 23rd, 2010

… after a Ceremony to Celebrate Celestial Balance ~ on the day of equal day, & star, Lîght.

(the moment of Equinox being at 4:09 am that day)

We had gathered around the “Peace across the Planet” Shiva Lingam, to hear the “listenings’” channeled from the Crystaline Grid,

and to anchor Our Peace, & Healing Light, within the Heart of Our Great Mother Gaia, in an Earth Healing Meditation.

Many, many, Thanks to those who braved a day of massive downpours, hail,  thunder, & Light-en-ing

~ which eased to almost nothing as We began ~ and who helped invoke the Sun, & Raÿnbow Blessings on the forthcoming season! ;D

Summer Solstice, Avebury 21/06/2010

We Celebrated the Dawn of Solstice (Monday 21st June) with a Ceremony using multiple “Sun” & “Earth” gong beginning just before first light (4:40am) near the “Moon Cove” in Avebury henge.

Later, just after noon, We gathered across the road in the “Sun Circle”, for a Peace Across the Planet/Earth Healing Meditation, beginning at 12:15, endeavouring to focus the bountiful Higher Energies available to Us at the moment of Solstice (12:28), toward the Heart of Our great mother Gaia ~ affirming Our Intent to serve Her, & assist the Healing of Separation from The Plan.

Powerful crystals were used to magnify In-coming & Out-going Energies

All were welcome!

A Huge Thank You to those many many people who came and helped raise the Energies in the circle soooooo High!

and also to those attending the Sound events later ~You Presence & Intent makes the difference!

Some Pictures Here!

These comprised a short explanations, followed by multiple gong soundings by several players, both individually, and together.

A Wonder-full place to Work; & wonderful people in attendance!

Spring Equinox Ceremony, Avebury “Sun Circle” 20/03/2010

…celebrating the Spring, and the moment of Celestial Balance (17:32GMT) when Light & Darkness are equal.

We began by honoring Our connection to Earth Mother by focusing Our attention on the large Shiva Lingam at the center of Our circle, the JoYning the grid of other Peace Across the Planet Intent Holders, & participants, in the USA by reading out a statement of Intent to anchor Our Peace in this Sacred place and time. This was followed by an Earth Healing meditation, with Gong interlude, beginning at 5:15 p.m. intending to channel Healing Lîght into the heart of Gaia. Visualising & Realising that She in turn reflects this back to places, and those in need on the surface of the Earth Plane in general. Later, many enJoYed a wonderful presentation of Meditation & Sound Healing in the National Trust Barn (next to the café) with Song, Crystal Bowls & Monochord (Catherine Gaze & Sheila Cornfield), Didgeredoo (Damian Saul), the sounding of a full 14 Paiste set of Planet Gongs (by Mark Swan, then Vincent Levinson), & the extraordinary vibration of 4 Earth Gongs sounding simultaneously! (Mark, Vince, Adrian, & Jonathan from SoundTravels)

To those who attended either event, i would like to say a huge “Thank You” ~ for Your presence & participation and wish You All many, many Spring Blessings … leading to Blissings!

Winter Solstice 21/12/09

Greetings One & All!

This is an invitation to JöYn with Us, on Monday 21st December 2009, to celebrate the Winter Solstice ~ the turning of the Lîght, & beginning of the New Celestial Year!
As last year, I Am going to hold a short Ceremony in the “Sun Circle” in Avebury, Wiltshire.
This will take the form of a guided meditation, beginning at about 5:25 pm, leading up to the moment of Solstice (17:47 GMT). Then a large Sun gong will sound, while We “hold in the Lîght”; & the focus of Our meditation on Planetary Healing, and Positive Intentions for 2010. We will close with a continuous Group toning.

For those who cannot attend in person, a live internet streaming of the proceedings will be available via the crystalhealingworkshops.co.uk website (& archive recording for later access).
The village Social Center, on the High Street, has been booked from 2:30 – 11:45 pm for gathering, and refreshment, before & afterward.
A program of various sound Healing presentations, & further meditations, are being prepared for the evening ~ beginning at 7pm.

It is looking likely that at least a dozen large gongs will be assembled in the hall (with 3, or 4, 38″ Sun gongs, & probably including a full set of Paiste “Planetary Gongs”!!! :), along with many wonderful crystal bowls as well.

Richard Howship will demonstrate (& lead those who wish to participate) several Magical Passes handed down to Him, thru 25 generations of Mexican Shamen, via Carlos Castenada; and Tim Wright will perform several songs. There will be no charge , although donations (for the Peace across the Planet organization) would be most welcome.
We look forward to Your Presence!

Wîshing You many Seasonal Blessings, and Blîssings;
with Positive progress on Your Path in the coming Year!

much Love,
adrian
