The last few decades were a time of wonder and expansiveness for humanity. Incredible economic prosperity, new technological resources and increased levels of personal freedom offered millions of people, and Westerners in particular, the opportunity to live like gods.  At the same time, we have been privileged to live in an era of extraordinary spiritual renewal, when many lost fragments of the ancient wisdom teachings are available to us again. But at last we are recognizing that we have not used these blessings in a wise and responsible way, for the good of the planet and all the life forms it supports.

Since the beginning of the 21st century it has become patently obvious that the global capitalist economy is putting an impossible pressure upon the eco-system of our beautiful blue planet. The evidence of global crisis is all around us. Yet despite high-level inter-national conferences on questions such as carbon emissions and third world debt, despite shoring up our ailing banks and businesses, our leaders are caught tightly in the cogs of the money-making machine; they provide no clear guidance. This is a time, in other words, when we are in desperate need of men and women with true vision.

The message being received from those who act as planetary guides is that this current era is rapidly coming to its close. The time has come when we urgently need to prepare for a new aeon, a new world. But to achieve this, the human race will have to give up the present world, that is, lose its current dominance over nature, and create a life in balance with Life on Earth. The mass of humanity will have to face the initiatory ‘ordeal of the abyss’ as it is compelled to relinquish a mistaken, materialistic relationship to earth and matter. This crisis of consciousness will increase in the years leading up to and beyond 2012/13.

Our work is intended to support and strengthen those of us who have been receiving messages about the extreme urgency of this time. We will have to draw on our deepest sources of spiritual guidance if we are to navigate safely through the dangerous decades that lie ahead. To fulfill tasks of planetary guardianship and service, we will need to draw on the ancient wisdom of the hidden planetary elders, and work closely with the devic realms, which have been badly injured through our recent collective actions.  Our work aims to clarify what you can do to help yourself and thus humanity return to the path of balance. Our work is designed to support you on your unique spiritual journey of dedication, service and self-initiation directed to that end. What we will share is intended to help humanity walk through a major initiatory doorway, into a New Aeon.

The Sacred Geometry of Washington, D.C.
Talk in the Meeting Room, Chalice Well, Glastonbury, 7:30pm, £3.00

The capital city of the USA was designed in 1791 according to principles of sacred geometry that symbolised the high-minded ideals of the nation’s newly formed democratic and federal constitution.  As the geometry became lost in the later development of the city, did those original ideals also became lost?  If so, what, if anything, can be done to recover the symbolic message in the pattern of the capital city of the world’s most powerful nation?  A fully illustrated talk that is highly relevant to our times.   Coincides with the publication of the book this year in the UK.

Thursday August 9th

The Celestial Temple of Avalon
Talk in the Meeting Room, Chalice Well, Glastonbury, 7:30pm, £3.00

The solar, lunar and stellar alignments of the Isle of Avalon create a remarkable initiatory landscape and many zodiacal and astronomical theories have been suggested to explain its power.  As a result of new research the significance of the celestial temple on the Isle of Avalon is finally beginning to emerge – especially the significance of the cycle from 3150 BCE to 2012 CE.
