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

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Because the National Trust has, at very short notice, withdrawn the booking of the Study Centre, there was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

Love All Ways

We gathered in the “Sun” Circle (see diagram further down this page) at 07:45, around an array of crystals, and the PxP Shiva Lingam, and began with a Peace Across the Planet Full Moon Ceremony, followed by a guided Earth Healing meditation, also celebrating the turn of the season, and increasing of the Light.

There was s a full Lunar Eclipse over the moment of Full Moon (08:13 GMT) and We endeavored to harmonize this Power-full occasion with Our Intentions!

We repeated these Ceremonies at 18:00, & at the moment of Solstice (23:38); before and after the Sound Healing Event in the Village Hall.

The Sound Healing Event comprised of various meditations & presentations: using voice, multiple gongs, crystal & metal bowls, monochord, & didgerido; ran from 7pm, until 10:30 at the Village Hall on Avebury High Street.

A “suggested donation” of £20 per person (£15 concessions) was requested to cover Hall hire & travelling costs.

(remaining profits were donated to the Peace Across the Planet organisation)

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

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

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!

The National Trust “study centre”, on the other side of the barn from the café, (where We held the Sacred Sound Evening on the Spring Equinox) had again been hired for a series of “Gong bath” presentations over Sunday afternoon ~ Monday evening. 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!

There was a suggested donation of £10 for these sessions (discounted for disabled/children/concessions)

Thank You for Your support, & Thank You again for Your Presence!

…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!

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

[Depending on internet connection, We may be able to stream some of the evening also]   (if You’re thinking of attending in person, please let Us know ~ knowing approximate numbers will help the caterers! ;)

(~Gathering again for Autumn Equinox 23/9/09 at 10pm~ )

A Gathering in the Southern Central Ring (“Sun Circle”)

for an Earth Healing Meditation, commencing 20 minutes before the celestial moment of Solstice ~ 06:46 BST (05:46 GMT)

Once again, a BIG Thank You to those who attended; but apologies to those tuned in on-line for the broadcast ~ the rather raucus crowd at Avebury made it too hazardous to lay down Our broadband line… Hope You felt Üs joyn with You!

(click for some pictures ) (audio file to follow)

By Working at this at this special location We also honored Our connection to Our Ancestors, and their greater holistic awareness.

In preparation for the meditation, i established an Earth Square* perimeter using Nuummit, Metamorphosis Quartz, and Shiva Lignams (provided by Peace across the Planet); then smudged the location using sage and incense, before laying out a Crystal Grid.

This  consisted of 4 large Lemurian Quartz points, supported by 8 polished Nuummit hearts, with four Metamorphosis Quartz spheres surrounding a central six pointed star of Nuummit & Tugtupite, and two Lightning~Struck Quartz points. These crystals have gathered energy, information, and activation, from many sacred sites over the last three years, and will serve as a focus for the Group energy.

The meditation began at 11:25 GMT, with a few instructions of relaxation, in order to bring the physical, emotional, and mental aspects to Stîllness.

Then a guided visualisation to stimulate closer connection to the Earth; and to focus Higher Energies ~ through Us ~ towards the Heart of Our Great Mother; encouraging a realisation that this time allows the greater flow of extra-planetary Forces. We invoked assistance in releasing karmic burdens accumulated in this, and previous lifetimes.

Just prior the moment of Equinox (11:44 GMT) , Pat Conlon began sounding the Symphonic gong ~ in order to further facilitate the opening of a portal for transmission of these Energies ~ as We continued to meditate on anchoring Lîght & Healing into the Heart of Gaia; and on the increasing cooperation, and integration, of Her Kingdoms.

A short silence was followed by Joyning together to chant a White Tara mantra:

Om Tare, Tuttare, Ture Gaia, Ayu Punye, Jnana Pushtim Kuru, Sva Ha ~ 21 times

Invoking, and visualising, the Divine Energy of the Mother Goddess White Tara pouring into, and swirling around the planet, to assist in the Healing and Longevity of Life for Mother Earth.

(We substitute the sylable “Gaia”, for the customary “MaMa”  ~ thereby invoking the Blessing upon Mother Earth, rather than upon Ourselves)
