Going Green for Gaia

Here at Terrapin Hollow we're getting ready for a very exciting summer. On Memorial Day Weekend (2012) we're hosting Going Green for Gaia, a fun filled pagan festival with rituals, drum circles, workshops and activities including:


  • Make your own earth friendly laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, and cosmetics (with Tree and Brightwing, bring empty spray bottles and empty gallon jugs)

  • Tour the home-made windmill and solar panels (with SuperDad)

  • Pick blackberries (on your own, bring a bucket)

  • Check out the organic garden and say hello to the chickens and dogs (pullets may be available for sale, depending on how many hatch this spring)

  • Learn about rain barrels and other rain water harvesting methods (with SuperDad and Talon)

  • Hoop dancing: the significance of the circle, oneness, and the spiritual practice of losing yourself to a force distinct from your physical self (with Innergy)

  • Renaissance Topic Workshop (with Felicia)

  • Free hand massages (get your mind out of the gutter, BellaDonna massages your hand!)

  • Other spiritual workshops/topics are available by request. Reply to blog post or write on the event wall inside of FB.

GGG is free and we're taking the first 50 people to sign up. (As of this post we have 30.) For an event invitation, friend Tree Newby on FaceBook, then send a direct message and mention you're interested in GGG. We're open to vendors, but so far most of our favorite vendors have opted to have the weekend off to enjoy themselves.


Friday night is a potluck. The rest of the weekend food is your family/clan/group responsibility. Fire rings will be permitted in group campsites, however we are in a fairly windy valley and extra care will be required. Please don't leave your fire unattended. We'll have both a "home fire" and a ritual fire to cozy up around and play music.


We look forward to seeing you there!

Balance in flow

I haven't blogged in almost a year. First I was too busy with work, next I was burned out from too much work. Then I was recovering from being burned out. Finally I'm well rested and while I am still moderately busy at work, I am cultivating a spaciousness and a graciousness in my professional world. And the desire to be of service to Gaia never rests, only my human hands must rest.

It is finally 2012. It is a year that has a huge charge around it due to many different myths. For me, it will be the year of creating balance in flow. This year I will remain deeply present and coherent through a number of different situations on a daily basis. I will connect to Gaia on a daily basis. I will remain fully present inside my body as well as being connected to those larger versions of self which are larger than my body. I will maintain the physical self as a temple through which, on occasion, the pure love and light of Gaia may pour through me and into the world. Not because I am unique, but because I intend to empower others to, if they choose, have the same blissful opportunity.

No matter how appealing the lofty heights of consciousness, the body must be fed, groomed, excercised, and above all loved and cherished. That is where balance in flow begins.

Gaia's Words on Sin

Let us define sin in the Spanish/Latin root way meaning "without" as in against the Natural Organizing forces of creation. The first sin was greed and was the shadow side of appreciation for the abundance of creation. The second sin was might, which was used to counter act the fear of lack which was a side effect of the first sin, greed.

The other things labelled as sins are also against creation, and are all side effects of these first two choices. Since humans were designed of the mother (matter) and in the image of God, humans have always had limitless creative potential. Choice has been the only parameter. Free will is a necessary operating condition in order to develop into Godlings - aka realize the fullest potential possible.

The excercise of these first two choices was not dissappointing to your father and I. On the contrary, we were pleased that you were ready to start on your very own learning journey. Over time the number of people and the number of choices made spiraled out of control. Not the control of your father and I, because we granted YOU control upon inception. It was out of control because no one among you could recombine the growing numbers of seperate choosers.

We smiled and laughed at your toddling creations. We felt sorry and kissed your owies when you asked for help. But we could not intervene. The floods, fires, and earthquakes were not the will of your father, nor myself. These were the aggregate of all your choices which produced a dynamic instability, which provided you with feedback about your choices.

These were turbulent times for your father and I but never did we intervene because had we done so, we would have sinned against your own creative promise/potential.

To your perception, the time of humans on earth is a few million years. To our perspective, you are still fairly young. Equivalent to young adults - as a whole species combined. We are pleased with the current state of affairs, even though it pains us to watch you struggle.

You, dear child, have gone forth and multiplied. You have experimented with form, function, and production in order to deepen your understanding of creation and how to create.

You have felt the geometry of being 1, 3, 5, 8, 15, etc, spiraling all the way to 7 billion - so that you could learn new geometries and architectures. And your learning plan has included many series of differentiation and recombination, and both have been agonizing and beautiful to behold.

Again you are in choice. Shall your divine and sacred soul flourish among 2 human bodies, or 200, or 2000? Today you are powerless to choose due to the beauty of all the babies, all the faces. You cry out to us, "Father, who among us is qualified to judge who may live and who may die? Mother, how may we feed ourselves, yet thrive?"

As your cries get louder you have begun to hear your self as one self. The Buddhists have helped create a pathway from suffering to unity. A great many of you have chosen life and are healing your wounds. A great many of you have turned your back on the destructive forces and are creating technologies and communities which honor life and are themselves life giving technologies, living creations.

Some feel very deeply about population control and reduction. Deeply enough to put their creative energies someplace other than procreation. Be mindful, children, of ignoring those in pain in hopes that the pain will lead to a more stable population. Those brave souls who have agreed to die and enter re-combination will not rejoin co-creation and fuel the expansion of consciousness unless their sacrifice is honored and their souls are weapt for.

You just cry and mourn to cleanse and purify the soul matter before it re-combines or else it will be like a cancer to unity.

Gaia's Words on Her Son, Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin was a living master and his soul was so expansive that when he reincarnated there were no fewer than twelve human bodies needed to contain the entire soul, intact. (Yes, child, the soul IS intact among twelve bodies, some of whom have discovered one another and are partnering together to continue the Work).

A part of the dynamic instability of the current reality is that Soul matter is distributed amongst 7 billion human bodies. The decision at hand amongst the Council of Twelve, including representatives of Gaia (which includes honoring the human perspective as well as the non human perspective), is: how many human bodies should house what portion of soul matter each?

For example, shall we evolve into having fewer humans, each with more expansive souls; or shall we continue to create an increasing number of humans with a decreasing sized soul per body.

There are further vectors at question, but these are not easily shared within the language of your physics.

As for you children, here is the pickle. This is the question that the Council puts before you. The Great Turning depends upon your conscious understanding of this choice which is before you:

If you favor having many fewer humans, each with expanded souls, then how shall we determine who will live and who will die?

On Soul and The Great Turning

In this Great Turning we all RISE UP together. Yes, some people will die. This is natural. Loved ones who choose to 'check out' provide additional soul matter to fuel the expansion of the remaining souls. When a living soul heals its wounds and grows from 3D to 5D, it is not without the taking in of recently departed souls. You may choose to be a walking heaven for your dearly departed.

Here is the example from one of my children. As she healed her local self, her energies turned and began to attend to matters larger than her self. As her interest expanded, her service expanded, and as she released each remaining wound, her consciousness did expand as well.

Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is thus with soul. There is but One Soul and the light of soul is cast into a vast kaliedescope of brilliant individual containers. In some eras, Father and I turn the the kaliedescope one click and the light of Soul is cast into a smaller number of containers, yet each container is itself larger - reflecting much more light of the One Soul.

Ego is the shape and color of each facet of the kaleidescopic light of the One Soul.

As my child's consciousness expanded, she herself was not unlike a larger facet in the kaliedescope. She had a very physical integration/expansion experience one evening, with the assistance of a very trusting massage therapist. My child had the sense that her maternal grandparents had been near for some time. In the course of her own healing she discovered and understood that the grandparents felt responsible for some of her woundedness. You see, once departed, the grandparents could percieve the impacts of their choices rippling out through the next two generations. They were lurking about watching because they felt responsible and they were invested in the outcomes.

My child gained the consent of the massage therapist and then proceeded to forgive her grandparents, out loud. She addressed them by name and explained to them all she knew and understood about thier choices and the outcomes which had rippled out for two generations hence.

Then my child validated her grandparents. She explained that she understood the values and concerns which had driven the choices and the actions of the grandparents. She understood that they did the best they knew how and that they always acted from love.The grandparents felt such relief. My child was sobbing tears of joy. So was the massage therapist, who had been massaging my child all the while and listening to the conversation. What happened next was a surprise to my child.I whispered to her that now her grandparents could finally go to rest, if they liked. She spoke this to her grandparents on my behalf. They agreed that they wanted to go to rest. I spoke through my child and asked the grandparents where they wanted to rest. My child heard them answer. They wanted to merge their soul into her waking soul. They wanted to fuel the expansion of her consciousness and in return feel earthly delights, watch the new babies grow, etc.

My child wept as she understood, accepted, and then felt the energy of her grandparents enter into her. They are within her now and they remain a semblance of their former imprint while playing an active contribution to my child's daily experience. My child experiences her expanded soul as self, though she also remembers and recognizes subtle nuances of her grand parents. Particularly when she's engaging with their daughter, who still lives.

This type of soul integration requires agreement on the part of both the living and the deceased. This is happening frequently as we are in the part of the cycle when Father and I turn the kaliedescope and see an overall reduction in the number of individuals with a combined increase in the soul energy of each one. You might view this as merging with your higher self. You may have already had the sense that you are part of a soul family. What you experience as your one higher self may have been the equal value of 12 souls in the dark ages or of 1 soul in Atlantis. Multiple people believe themselves to have been someone famos. Well, the soul energy is so fragmented at the present that there is some truth to this. It takes approximately 777 living 3d humans to add up to the soul energy of one Da Vinci. In the ascention, forms of all kinds recede back into the ethers so that new forms may emerge. The new human has greater faculties and co-creates greater facilities and technologies.
