What do you get when you combine peace, ecology-minded folks and delicious raw foods?

Well, you get the annual Raw Spirit Registration

Raw Spirit Fest is a non-profit event featuring educational workshops including raw food preparation demonstrations, nature trails, an exercise space called “Sacred” (that tells me a lot about the intent and focus of this group right there), music and dancing, and of course, lots of fabulous fresh, potent raw foods.

I truly believe what the Native teachings say:
“The Earth will heal when the Grandmothers Speak”

I feel the prayers of the Grandmothers of Earth, both
indigenious and of every race, have had much to do with
any good we have manifested. Grandmothers have the wisdom
of age and experience and know how to pray for results.
If you are interested in connecting into the Grandmother Gridline,
please read about these upcoming councils in 2008.

ps. This announcement will stay posted here past the dates because I know future gatherings will be going on so if the dates have passed, please call to see what might be going on at a later time.

Top Five Astro-Events for December
This material, copyright Wandering Star Designs

I confess to having limited knowledge of astrology while also having respect for the guidance I’ve gotten from those who are more knowledgeable. I’m posting these astrological highlights from Alicia over at Wandering Star, for those who have an interest.

1. The New Moon in Sagittarius takes place on December 9, and features the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction at the Midheaven over Washington D.C. and New York City. Look for the wealthiest plutocrats to be making news, as they shape politics, business, and the publishing world with their considerable influence. Expect major mergers and acquisitions.

2. Jupiter and Pluto are conjunct on December 11, but this combination is in effect all month. For many, Jupiter-Pluto brings an enhanced interest in the Big Picture and a feeling of faith, trust, and spiritual growth, while others go overboard with self-righteousness and smugness. Those with planets connected to this pairing may experience phenomenal personal growth.

3. Jupiter enters Capricorn on the 18th, marking the beginning of a new age of social conservatism centered on national and economic security. The 19th and 20th feature a Sun-Mercury-Pluto triple conjunction, inspiring power plays by authority figures as they overcome vulnerable opponents. Expect big moves, important transitions, and major geopolitical events, especially in business and politics.

4. The Full Moon (December 23) occurs as Mars opposes the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter from the 22nd through 26th. The strong Mars vibration over these five days can make some people edgy, moody, and hyper-defensive, while the more adventurous will enjoy plenty of playful competitiveness. Attack politics may make the holidays seem like a war zone.

5. Mars opposes Pluto on January 2, but this astro-event is so powerful that it will be in effect for the last ten days of December. Expect major transportation snarls, and for many, an internalized sense of rage. Sports events will likely be intensely competitive, and bring an unusual number of severe injuries. Violence in global hotspots is likely.
