| A Happy New Year to all! It's finally here. 2012 is the year we've been waiting for, talking about, or fearing for years. How we welcome or deal with it is a matter of personal choice. But we no longer have the luxury of thinking about it, or waiting for "next year." 2012 has arrived! Astrologers say we've been on the cusp of the Age of Aquarius for anywhere from 50 to 150 years or more. During that time, the human family has been poised on the brink, waiting for the promised uplifting of mass consciousness. In November, when we joined together to tone the heart chant on 11.11.11 that single act declared us active participants in one of the most auspicious age of ages. On the vibration of that heart chant we stood up for a just world united in One-ness. We envisioned the Golden Age promised for milleniums and promised to seed and hold in our consciousness that vision. Spiritual transformation is the currency of 2012. This is the planetary initiation that we came for and agreed to be part of. This year, it begins! It is my joy to share this journey with you. 2012 First Quarter Events Frannie Hoffman Meditation - Jan 6, 2012 If you were at the first women's meditation of 2012 on January 6th, and wanted to hear Frnnie's words once again or if you missed the session altogether, please click on the audio player below to hear the full inspirational message.

I listened. I heard the talking drums and chants riding on the wind. It was time jamie sams (Native American shaman of Cherokee and Seneca decent) The Medicine Wheel of the 13 Clan Mothers is the theme for the Spring Equinox. Using the work of Jamie Sams, We'll open to and discover the gifts, talents and abilities resented by 13 women who share the ancient teachings of the Divine Mother. Dressed in ceremonial masks and attire honoring the colors of their respective moon, each Clan Mother will present the vision of her assigned moon and how truth is perceived through that aspect. With the arrival of spring, the time for rebirth and regeneration, we're invited to find our truth, express it and bring it to harvest during this year's cycle of life.

every imagination. It's time to take a more reasoned approach to the date. Let us state that 2012 is simply the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar cycle and the beginning of the next one that ends in the year 7,138 A.D. With 2012 representing the end of a 3,114 year cycle, its importance is magnified. Many on earth today are beginning to awaken in consciousness. There is a growing sense of universal cooperation and the recognition of global inter-dependence. As the next cycle starts, we must set in place the seeds of universal harmony, universal compassion and universal good will. The date 12.12.12, the last double-digit repetitive date of this century, presents itself for that focus. For the past three years, travelers have gone all around the world. They have visited holy temples, mosques and churches and brought a relic from that location. They have gone to places like Machu Picchu in Peru, Angor Wat in Cambodia, the Great Pyramid, the Great Wall of China, Kivas in New Mexico, and holy shrines in Tibet and India. They returned with earth and sacred objects from lands far and wide. All of those bags of sand, earth, and stones will be assembled in a holy Sands of the World Mandala on 12.12.12. In a sacred ceremony and assembly, the sands will create an Earth Mandala that will be blessed and sealed with the intentions of all those who help to assemble it. At the end of the ceremony, the sands will be taken to the Gulf to be released with all the blessings that came from afar, sent back a thousand times over. If you are traveling between now and September 2012 and you visit a holy or sacred site, please return with a baggie of sand representing that place you've visited. Send an email to jo@starsoundings.com so it can be picked up. WOMEN’S MEDITATION NEWS & CALENDAR Women's Meditation Group
