Re: Dhamma Kunja Anyone?

http://joeyhannah.gaia.com — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:39:07 GMT

It was the first long retreat I've ever been on. I've only ever been on one-day retreats, half-day retreats, etc. It was probably the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, but definitely worth the time for introspection and to see that things I THOUGHT I'd dealt with were really only suppressed.

AND, I was surprised at how many of the people there had never meditated before in their lives. Amazing. I guess if you decide you want to learn something, the best way is to just jump right in and immerse yourself in it!

Re: Dhamma Kunja Anyone?

http://ADLIAC.gaia.com — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 08:21:29 GMT

Thanks for the recommendation ! Not familiar with it, myself. Glad to hear it was so profound for you !!

Dhamma Kunja Anyone?

http://joeyhannah.gaia.com — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 00:27:42 GMT

I was just wondering if anyone in this pod has attended a 10 day retreat a Dhamma Kunja down in Onalaska?

I just finished one this last weekend and I'm still kind of processing everything that came up internally during the retreat, but it was AWESOME. Hardest thing I've ever done in my life...

Sacred Spaces and Spiritual Places: The Secret Alchemy of Travel

What impulse in the human spirit has, for millennia, caused us to paint cave walls, pile stones, carve, build, engineer, plan, craft and construct monuments to the invisible and unknown? Why are some places set apart and worthy of our greatest efforts and accomplishment? What makes one site sacred and another a garbage heap? Every culture on the planet has a tradition of sacred spaces and spiritual places and when we encounter them we resonate in harmony with the energies we find there.

This intriguing lecture will include sites in Bali, England, France, Eastern Europe, Hawaii, America, Egypt, the Sinai and the Holy Land. Topics will include geomancy and earth energies, sacred architecture and geometry, solar and stellar alignments, psychology, spirituality, religion, the alchemy of travel, quantum mechanics and some fascinating new discoveries about the science and psychology of Sacred Places. Please join Greg Roach, founder of Spirit Quest Tours, for an entertaining and compelling tour with beautiful pictures and fascinating details.

Ah, ~C4 posted while I was writing !!

OM

Re: Global Gaia Gathering in the Emerald City

http://ADLIAC.gaia.com — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 02:55:47 GMT

A post-meeting post !!

We had a marvelous time, 5 of us, more than the allotted 3 hours and still talking away !! I'll let ~C4 and others do the summary, just posting some followups here, giving others a taste of what they missed !!

Alana, the microdonations Group is Donations and Microdonations for Individuals and Groups, and the cultivator is Apollia. You can reach her by clicking on her picture or name on the Group home page. (It might take awhile, she doesn't check into this site very often.)

In going there again I realized she ran into some challenges around the community policy of not asking people for money, and I think she transferred her activities elsewhere. But I doubt there would be a problem with creating a resource list of organizations and groups who handle or sponsor or facilitate microdonations, as we talked about.

You could compile that list as a member, or you could ask her to make you a moderator if you can show her you need more administrative abilities to do what you want to do. I don't have time now to explain what administrators CAN do, but when the time is right, email me for that info. I don't know that it is posted anywhere, but you might search The Gaia Groups Community ('the Mod Pod") for the term administrator and see if the description is posted there. I think we started on the list of functions but didn't finish it.

And, Alana, the movies pod I am cultivator of is zFilms. ~C4, not only are you responsible for my discovering the group, but now you have greatly expanded the options for making it visible by suggesting I put the Featured Films of the Week (One current, one old) each week in my blog !!!! Such a creative idea !!!! And I have already added a Board for documentaries, as the need emerged during our talk, and actually I had thought about doing it anyway !!

~C4, thank you for your generous hosting, and thanks to your wonderful wife for the substantial feeding of us all !! It was great to meet "your Dakini" -- now "wife" -- after reading about your wedding!

And I would like to apologize to you for one exchange you and I had, about the definition of "administrator" of Groups. I "made you wrong," and wish I had been more diplomatic. I think you were saying that only cultivators are administrators, and moderators are not. I forget what ~Matthew's definitions are, but he and I had a discussion once, and I was (and still am) of the opinion that the only definitions that seem to match the reality of functions is that both cultivators and moderators are administrators. They can both click on the "admin" button, haha, so that sort of defines things. And I view any other use of the term as conducive to confusion. However, I am just presenting my view, and certainly am not the dictionary who gets to define the terms as used in the community !! In any case, it's not respectful to say or imply "You are wrong!!!" and I am sorry I did that, and you were gracious not to engage with that energy !!!

And thanks for your generosity in gifting us with Spiritual Cinema Circle DVDs. What a great inspiration, to do that. The short one we all saw was very moving, very uplifting.

After last year we all said we'd get together again soon, but we didn't. This time I feel the momentum to "make it so," and will be posting opportunities on this Board here in our Seattle Group.

Aley, we missed you, sorry you were not feeling well.

Everyone else who missed this opportunity to face-to-face, you really did miss something enriching and uplifting. The cyberspace is so much warmer when you have touched the people !!

Can't wait to see the photos ~C4 took !!! We co-created the unusual Presentation !

Will let others talk about whatever; the book descriptions and exchange was a terrific deepening of our relating, as was the general conversation. We are especially lucky to have a Team member, ~C4, in our group, so we can pick his brain about the workings of the site, the community, the how to's, the history. What fun !!!!!

Blessings to all,
OM Bastet

Oh, wonderful, Alana, and looks as if 6-10 people right now.

sutton13, it'll be great to meet you and hope you can make it !

I have personally invited one-two people who might attend. Last year we had 7, and this year instead of only 4, which it looked like at first, we'll probably have even more !! YAYYY!!!

Looking forward !

Namaste, OM Bastet
