Hi dear Friends and Fellow
Travellers, The seasons in Tasmania are a
beautiful reminder of how quickly everything changes. It seems that one moment we’re at the beach
and the next we’re sitting in front of the heater! But change is constant and cannot be
controlled. It often requires a
letting go of expectations, old inefficient habits from the past and an acceptance
of new truths. How we cope with change
is effected by our inner attitudes and is often a preceptor to growth. Who was it that said ‘don’t fear change but
embrace it’ ... Y Y Y In this newsletter perhaps please
note the following workshops listed: ·
Body n Soul Festival 7th-9th March ·
Open Heart Workshop 1 & 2 25th-26th April ·

***Earth Hour -
Switch off your lights for one hour to send a message about climate change. 28 March
(Saturday) 2009 This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s
first global election, between Earth and global warming. For the first time in history, people of
all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use
their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for
Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the
world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be
presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in
Copenhagen 2009. This meeting will determine official government policies to
take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It
is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard. Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and
businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had
grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching
off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San
Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard
in Times Square all stood in darkness.

***TAROT DECK ANIMAL DREAMING ORACLE CARDS Author: KING Scott Alexander In times past, it was not uncommon
for a seeker of knowledge to request the advice of an Elder; someone skilled
in the ability to commune with the energies of nature. Developed with the corresponding
energies of the four directions in mind, the Animal Dreaming Oracle Cards
embrace this ancient concept in a manner more befitting our times. Instead of

*** Being with Dying By Joan Halifax In this long-awaited book of inspiring
and practical teachings, Buddhist teacher Joan Halifax offers the fruits of
her many years of work with dying people. Inspired by traditional Buddhist
teachings, her work is a source of wisdom for all those who are charged with
a dying person's care, facing their own death, or wishing to explore and
contemplate the transformative power of the dying process. Halifax offers lessons from dying
people and caregivers, as well as guided meditations to help readers
contemplate death without fear, develop a commitment to helping others, and
transform suffering and resistance into courage. She says, "Why wait
until we are actually dying to explore what it may mean to die with
awareness?" A world-renowned pioneer in care of
the dying, Joan Halifax founded the Project on Being with Dying, which helps
dying people to face death with courage and trains professional and family
caregivers in compassionate and ethical end-of-life care. (review by book google) |
