Greetings Campers Many many moons ago (probably more than 600 moons ago, but then this tale is not one of Chronos time of dates and details, it’s a tale of Kairos time), a group of inspired and creative people gathered in a field and created a camp that their intuition told them they needed for themselves and they wanted for their families and loved ones. The magic of Kairos time, they say, is that we can accomplish our goals, meet our responsibilities and stay open to being steered by Life in ways that we may not have anticipated. It keeps us discerning enough to read our environment and to adapt accordingly. And PTA and later SAC did stay open to being steered by Life and it still does. The picture below is the latest group of beloveds who have taken on the role of “The holding group“. A group who’s first job is to listen, to you, to the wisdom of those who have gone before, to each other and to their own inner guidance. Their job is to hold the camp in their love and compassion and create a container where all voices can be heard with love and respect. They are Maia, Rich, Rowan, Darvesha, Alex and Deborah. We dreamed our vision of what to focus on in next year’s camp and unanimously came up with some ideas. There will be the familiar stuff that forms the bedrock of camp plus we felt the need for plenty of light hearted, joyful, fun to help us through challenging times. There will be opportunities for community members to develop leadership skills, we will explain more about the specifics in coming newsletters, there will be opportunities to share skills and talents that you already possess. Now more than ever we need the engagement of the whole community to enable Sacred Arts to thrive and be a place of relaxation, replenishment and inspiration. We are excited and looking forward to being with you in that magical field in May and we leave you with the words of Chelan Harkin: “The specific flavour of truth tonic kept hidden in the apothecary of your heart is exactly the medicine this world needs. It is time to bring it forth. You, my dear, are good medicine, and the truths within you have been prescribed for this time.” With love Darvesha, Camp advisor. |
