The Restoring Sacred Culture Across the Americas Convergence
The intent of this new month-long Restoring Sacred Culture Across the Americas Convergence is to bridge the worlds of spirituality, ecology, indigenous wisdom and visionary activism with a focus on the Americas or “Turtle Island” as many indigenous nations view the continents.
From the perspective of astrology the years 2016-2025 are a portal of transformation, the heart of the Age Change with the Americas in the crosshairs for this necessary cultural rebirthing–and the U.S. as the needed epicenter for this cultural renewal.The astrological signs in the skies are underscored by indigenous prophecies coming to fruition all across the Americas: The Eagle and the Condor, the Return of Pachakuti, Hopi prophecies among many others.
As well, within this window we see an extraordinary series of eclipses crisscrossing the continent between 2017-2024. Historic evidence suggests the Haudenosaunee (commonly known as the Iroquois) Confederacy was founded following an eclipse crossing their territories in 1142.
They are a northeast North American indigenous nation that deeply inspired and informed the most progressive elements of the U.S. Constitution. As a core element of the Confederacy’s founding, they established a Great Law of Peace between previously warring tribes and created a rich, thriving and peaceful culture.
Perhaps this is our time to establish our own version of a Great Law of Peace, to create strong bonds between the people north and south as suggested by the Eagle and Condor prophecies from the territories of modern day Peru and to bring alive a culture founded in beauty, love of land, and concern for our future generations.
The Vision of the Restoring Sacred Culture Convergence is as Follows:
Seed a vision for Turtle Island (the Americas) of a vibrant, healthy, sacred human culture interwoven with Earth intelligence and ecosystems for mutual thriving
Focus the primal, powerful energies of the 2016-2025 Age Change Portal to rebirth a sacred human culture in harmony with Earth and Cosmos
Experience the wisdom and practical insight of eco-elders, indigenous wisdom keepers, astrologers, world changers and vision carriers who will plant the vivid, tangible seeds of a beautiful new future for ourselves and our future ancestors into our hearts and minds.

he depth of healing and wisdom that she found could only be described as immeasurable. These experiences inspired Vandee to walk away from her career as a mental health clinician and pursuit her dreams of supporting others in finding the healing that they are in need of by supporting women in coming together to heal through culture, connection and conversation.

Liora Adler: Retrotopia: Food, Water and Community Security in a De-Industrialized Future
The 1972 Limits to Growth report from the Club of Rome is increasingly relevant despite having been written 50 years ago. Climate disruption, increasing food and water insecurity as well as human trauma creating irrational decision making on all levels, speak to the falsity of the myth of progress which is, in fact, the driver of the current wholesale destruction of planetary support systems.
De-industrializing, creating (a la John Michael Greer) Retrotopias by returning to the simpler tech solutions that were abundant in the years prior to the mega waves of technological and industrial production following the turn of the century, is a rational and graceful way to support the re-emergence of sustainable community living on our planet.
Moreover, focusing on the regeneration and the restoration of our ecosystems is a means to avoid some of the most dire consequences of our human folly. Ecovillages and ecocities, ecosystem restoration camps, a small farm future and support for refugees and displaced persons are some of the critical community functions we need to develop if we are emerge from this global crisis with sane systems for economies, governance, food production, water retention, land distribution, dealing with human conflicts and eliminating colonialism and oppression.
Bio
Liora is a visionary social actionist, educator, facilitator, mentor, event organizer and dancer. Raised during the 60’s social movements in the US, she came to understand that protest alone was inadequate for making substantive societal changes. Consequently, throughout the 70’s and 80’s she explored supportive community building that provided both for physical needs and the basic human need for belonging.
In 1982 Liora co-founded a thriving ecovillage, Huehuecoyotl, in central Mexico, and in 1996, a mobile ecovillage and training center, la Caravana Arcoiris por la Paz that for 13 years, shared knowledge of ecological systems and regenerative living while activating ecosocial movements throughout Latin America.
Liora has been a global leader in the ecovillage movement, where she served on the Board of Directors of the Global Ecovillage Network and as a representative to the United Nations. She has spent most of her adult life in Mexico and other parts of Latin America where she also helped form a village women’s sewing cooperative and a men’s campesino collaborative.
She is a fluent Spanish speaker and has significant cultural and socioeconomic sensitivities. She has organized courses, workshops, events and artistic activities for 100s of people, including farmers, indigenous peoples, and permaculture practitioners on 5 continents. She was the lead organizer for the 2003 bioregional gathering of 800 people in Peru: El Llamado del Condor.
As co-founder and co-president of Gaia University, Liora has been intimately involved with its design and development. She also oversees operations, and mentors students and staff. Her feisty, outgoing nature, her capacity to negotiate for practical action in challenging situations and her resonance with people living both very simple and highly complex lives are key to the success of the project.
For the last several years she and Andrew have returned to their home in Mexico and put their attention to the pioneering alternative accreditation system they have been developing: iCAAFS- the International Coalition for the Accreditation of Ancient Future Skills as well as a Regenerative Agriculture project in collaboration with the UNDP and Dept of Organics of the Min of Agriculture in Syria in which they have been training 100+ field and extension agents in permaculture, biointensive and syntropic techniques which they pass along to the local campesinos.
And if that were not enough, she and Andrew have now become the Knowledge Exchange Coordinators of the Ecosystem Restoration Camps Foundation which is supporting Earth Restoration in over 50 Camps globally!
With so much on her plate, these days Liora dances to the tune of “older and bolder”

Gaia Speaks: Remembering the Heartbeat of Mother Earth
The spirit world is very clear that we are needed to come back into right relation with ourselves as Earth and ourselves as Cosmos and ourselves as the All That Is.
One major component of this, tied closely to the transit of Uranus in Taurus (and especially highlighted right now as the north node of the moon and Mars will conjunct Uranus) is a need to come back into the intelligence of ourselves as Earth and the co-regulation of our bodies with the “heart beat” and breathing and nervous system of ourselves as Earth and Cosmos and The All That Is.
My second channeled book, Gaia Speaks, speaks very much to this need and gives practical tools for us to do so.
Martha Alter Hines, MSW
For the majority of twenty years, I worked as a clinical social worker and psychotherapist, as well as a body worker and energy healer. In 2018, the spirit world came to me and asked me to begin to channel a series of eight books. That began a wave of change in my life and in my life work.
Over the past four years, I channeled the first three of those eight books (Living the One Light, Gaia Speaks, and The Cosmos Speaks). I am currently working on the next three (Love Speaks, The Goddesses Speak, and The Gods Speak).
The work I do now is focused on helping us all to remember all of who we are as cosmos, Earth, heart, mind, soul, Light, the Divine, and The All That Is.
I do hold healing space for groups and individuals where I use a combination of astrology, energy work, my experience and background in trauma informed work, my abilities to see the energy body, past lives, the spirit world, and my connection with the spirit world itself.
In doing this, I have an approach that is individualized, grounded, and deeply connected to all levels of who a person is and what they may be needing in the moment.
It is a joy to hold healing space for ourselves and our world in this way.
| Free Gift: Gaia Speaks–Free E-Book and Channeled Meditation I would love to offer you two free gifts that compliment each other – a digital copy of my second channeled book, Gaia Speaks, as well as an accompanying channeled, guided meditation, “Co-Regulation with Mama Gaia and The All That Is.” Gaia Speaks is a channeled book, a message from Gaia supporting us to come into our natural state of being a “divine tuning fork” in co-creation with her. The free video then is a channeled, guided experience of being held by Gaia herself. I am feeling called to offer these to you now in this time when the north node of the moon is in Taurus, very near Uranus in Taurus, and Mars as well. I hope you enjoy… Please contact me with any questions: livingtheonelight@gmail.com | |

Erik Roth: Wisdom in the Transitional Age: a Time to Grieve, a Time to Envision and a Time to Plant
We don’t need to belabor the obvious that we exist in a great Turning of the Cosmic Wheel. In this time of transition, shown by various cultures and calendars and astrological ages, it is a time to open our hearts to embrace the transitional age we live in. Using astrology, we can see that the planets are showing us this is a time for immense adjustment and co-creation, along with grieving what has been lost, but also clearing the way to plant a new beginning. The masculine-feminine polarity also needs great healing as it is undergoing a radical rebirthing. It is in this time in the decay of the patriarchy that we must truly show up for ourselves and Gaia.

Conversation Topic: One Sacred Body: Melting home to Personal & Planetary Balance
Knowing ourselves and loving ourselves all the way through overwhelming moments can support us to choose authenticity over harmony… to become curious instead of furious, to approach tensions with compassionate communication… to find the courage to stand in our Hearts and “FEEL it to HEAL it”, instead of retreating in fear… or to break through immobilizing inertia to take our own next Heart-guided actions in alignment with our own values and ethics.
We know through research that talking climate is the trailhead to change. Communication leads to illumination, momentum, and movement towards a brighter future. However our own fight or flight responses to an overwhelming topic can hold us back from becoming the creative changes we need and wish to see on earth. Much like integrating our own trauma, or breaking an unhealthy cycle of an inherited family pattern… it takes a lot of courage, compassionate curiosity, support, self love, self responsibility, and a willingness to choose authenticity over harmony. Repairing our greatest connection to Mother Earth…must include repairing our connection to our own Nature. The journey can bring up old, familiar feelings of our own original abandonment, perceived and learned separations.
Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable, and increasing our ability to stay with what feels hard… with a loving presence, is what melts us through naturally to more empowered, Heart inspired action and creativity.
Together we must learn to keep our hearts ever open and bridge with LOVE within and without.
Diane Gribbin Bio
Diane’s passion let Love, health, and balance, through from the personal to the planetary led her to degrees in Human Health Sciences (specializing in “HEART health”), Homeopathic Medicine, a Masters in Environmental Science & Sustainability, Somatic Attachment Therapy and 15 years of training and teaching with her Qigong Master, and his Master.
These studies interwove over a decade of river guiding in the Arctic from Alaska to Nunavut where she found her heart song and the courage to let it flow like the wild rivers she traveled.
Her greatest transformation has been the heroine’s journey from her own early birth trauma to becoming a loving mother to her two young children – her greatest teachers of all. Diane’s vision is one of unity and awakening to our interconnections with ALL of life.
She is interested in “being the bridge” melting inner and outer divides to heal into wholeness. After her Homeopathic internship in England she worked for Health Canada as a Scientific Assessment officer of Traditional and Homeopathic Medicine contributing in World Health Organization document reviews during the creation of Canada’ s Natural Health Products Directorate.
Then as a Health Canada Senior Compliance officer in Policy and Risk assessment of Natural Alternatives to Pesticides receiving awards in both these areas. She holds a deep evolving passion for exploring the inter-weavings of Science & Spirituality… Holistic and Conventional medicine… Yin & Yang… to pioneer new ways of supporting healthy thriving life and balance from the personal to the planetary.
Diane founded HeartWood Healing Arts Centre where her classes, teachings, workshops and somatic programs accelerate melting through to natural Health & Balance. LET LOVE WIN! global movement was birthed in response to uncertainty and unrest on the planet.
Like a river rising inside of her she was moved swiftly to launch this global movement on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day to create an accessible affordable safe space for melting anything in the way of love through intentional movement, meditation, feeling, healing, sharing and visioning together in uncertain times.
She believes DEEP self care IS interconnected to EARTH care. There has never been a more important time on the planet to listen to our heart songs and together find the courage to sing balance into being from the personal to the planetary.
| Diane’s Free Gift: 1. Free Qigong Video to Increase Vitality! The heart knows the way… and yet how can we keep our hearts open to guide us forward when the overwhelm of these ever changing challenging times creates fight of flight responses in us of self protection and self contraction? Now is not the time to separate. Now is the time to flow.. to bridge with love inwardly and outwardly. We know that HEALTH is FLOW and that we need to be soft and open to receive divine guidance and access our own creativity aliveness and heart body wisdom especially in our hardest moments. But when we feel overwhelmed, our nervous system responses limit our connectivity and creativity. The first step even before simple powerful somatic grounding tools to meet and melt triggers into treasures… ….is to INCREASE our VITALITY. When we are low resourced our capacity to respond with love and creativity (instead of reacting from fear)… becomes blocked or limited. We first need to self focus and self RESOURCE to increase our own inner energy… Then, we have the capacity needed to stay self connected through inner and outer storms. When we learn to stay self connected… we heal our inner divides… and naturally we can begin to bridge outwardly with LOVE… Awakening to embodied interconnectedness and responding to your unique heart guidance to best be of benefit at this pivotal time…. all begins with bridging WITHIN… Being an ambassador to Mother Nature includes being an ambassdor to our own nature. We are ONE BODY. You can begin to inner resource and increase your energy with my free gift: a free Qigong video to boost Vitality! 2. Free Guided Feminine Masculine Inner Balance Journey Masculine & feminine energies are within us all. When the dance of Yin & Yang are in healthy relationship they dance together co-creating natural outward action informed by our hearts and deep inner knowing. Often we are unaware of inner gaps we may need to bridge. Awareness is the universal solvent that helps melt us through into natural balance. Grow new awareness and learn more about the signs that indicate feminine masculine imbalance on a guided journey to unite your inner energies. Sign up to receive my free guided journey.

On April 12, Jupiter, the Great Dreamer, and Neptune, the Great Unifier, met in Divine Union in Pisces, the Cosmic Ocean of Possibility. The flood gates opened from the higher planes of consciousness to connect in with a higher dream to ground into physicality over their next 13-year cycle.
With the North Node, the collective flow of energy, in Taurus, the sign of fertility and embodiment, through mid-2023, we are in a fertile time to ground in seeds of a new reality of living in harmony with Earth and all of life. The Taurus solar eclipse we experienced on April 30th and the upcoming Uranus-North Node-Mars conjunction on July 31st/August 1st, are opening up new timelines to ground in this higher dream.
Uranus and the North Node meeting is activating the wild genius of our bodies to create the New Earth from the inside out. Uranus in Taurus is activating our bodies to bridge the Sky and Earth energies in a more accelerated way. The veil between the dream, imaginative, and waking realms is thinned and more fluid with the Pisces Jupiter-Neptune conjunction.
Each human holding the vision of a New Earth that honors the sacredness of all life is essential to midwife this new reality where all, including Gaia, can vibrantly thrive. The Earth and Sky are transmitting the sacred codes to us. Through ceremonially connecting with the sacred patterning of Earth and Sky, we can dream through this new reality together.

Presentation Topic: Benefits of Magical WorldView & Practice
with Gary Caton
An enchanted worldview forms a bedrock connection between ourselves and the environment, both physical and spiritual. By opening channels of communication with the mineral, plant, animal, sky and spirit nations we become able to receive potentially crucial information from a wide, diverse and powerful community.
By seeking to create and activate a chain of correspondences with various mineral, plant, and animal allies, the Hermetic practitioner firmly embeds themselves within the web of Life and fosters a holistic consciousness that is unifying, healing and co-creative.
Gary P Caton is a transdisciplinary Hermetic practitioner integrating diverse traditions, art forms and practices gathered over a full Saturn cycle. Initiated an astrologer by a magnificent Dream in 1993, he’s since become an accomplished counselor, writer, podcaster, teacher, photographer and mage.

A Conversation with Aurora Heartsong
Bio: Aurora Heartsong is everything and no thing. A fulcrum in this world, holding a bold balance of boundaries while simultaneously understanding the limitless potential reach of the extents of our soul fields.
As a Sag Sun, Moon, with Aries rising, Aurora lives with the authentic knowingness that fire will not stay between the lines.
On the 11th of the 11th in 2011, in her 11th year of military service, Aurora walked through an intense portal of change when she placed her Air Force issued boots onto the Sacred soil of an ancient land, Afghanistan, to commence a 5 month tour of duty.
This led to a deeply transformational time track which culminated in 2013 with a suicide attempt, a NDE and waking up in a terrifying world as a hybrid soul and no elders to guide her through the past life dreams, or awakened abilities to hear and feel the thoughts and emotions of everything around her.
Through a series of breakdowns and self-awareness, Aurora found her Heartsong and started sharing her gift of music while walking her soul purpose of catalytic agent of transformational change to awaken sleeping souls from their slumber.
Aurora is a landowner, yet considers herself more of a caretaker, of 40 acres in QLD, in Baffle Creek. She lives with a big old dawggie, a grumpy ass cat, many tree spirits, little people and strong protective yowies in a balance of ceremony and music.
