Why We Are Here
Several years ago,
while perusing YouTube videos, articles and books on the concept of New Age and
awakening, I noticed that there was very little inclusion of so called people
of color. There were dozens if not hundreds of sites written and all seemed to
be well laid out and quite informative.
But I did not see much representation from other perspectives, rather
these sites seemed to completely ignore other spiritual influences and
modalities from around the world. It
perplexed me that folks were talking about moving into the 5th dimension,
traveling beyond physical borders, psychic phenomenon etc. even to the point of
including ET’s but even the ET’s appeared with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Now this may sound
like a bit of a rant, but it just struck me that their approach was not all
inclusive, but rather exclusive and in many instances so expensive that the
average person could not attend their many seminars and retreats and buy their
online programs and books.
I also noticed that
dreams and divination were sorely missing out of their programs. When it came to psychics and the paranormal,
there was little to glean from. The
focus was more on Ascended Masters, who in many cases hailed from re-invented
Biblical figures, limiting the influence of these masters to just a few
thousand years. There was so much
missing from the developing the spiritual being projects that I became
disenchanted and stopped watching those videos and visiting their websites.
Then a friend asked
me to come to Jamaica and teach an I Ching Workshop. In a flash it all came together. Healing through African Drumming, the African
Dancing, dreams and divination would be, could be and is the perfect solution
to this thing that perplexed me so.
These healing art
forms have been in existence for thousands and thousands of years and yet, they
are severely missed in the Modern Day New Age movement. I wondered why they were not included, and
then I thought, maybe because no one has presented them in that way. Maybe, they just think that African drumming
is just for side street playing and at special Festivals; that African dancing
is for parties, weddings and street competitions; and that dreams are for
people who don’t have a life and that Divination is clearly not something that
should be done in the daylight.
So that is why we
are here. We want to be the first to
bring all 4 modalities to one venue. We
want to open doors that have been closed and lift burdens that have been
placed. We want to enlighten, enhance,
uplift, rejuvenate and educate anyone and everyone who comes to our
retreats. We want to let them know that
these are healing art forms and much more than performance or the meanderings
of an unstable mind.
We also want to
encourage all who attend our retreats to spread the healing they receive to
their friends, family and associates, and of course we want them to come back
and bring them to our retreat every single year. We want them to understand that the
“Awakening” is not exclusive of any nationality, race or creed, but is
inclusive of all, and that there is a modality that can be just as amazing and
as powerful as those that have been so often overused and in some instances,
exploitative of the participants.
We want to bring our
retreat participants to the beautiful Island of Jamaica, and house them in the
Source Farm EcoVillage where nature can also play a strong role in the
“Awakening”. We want to extend this
invitation to all. And particularly, we
want to make sure that those so-called people of color get a chance to show the
world just how healing African Drumming and dancing can be. And we want to show them how important it is
to pay attention to your dreams and how important it is to be proficient in a
divination system whose soul purpose is to enhance each individual’s spiritual
development.
And that, my friend,
in a big nut shell, is why we are here.
We hope that you join us. We hope
that you come and ride the wave of healing, enlightenment and the deep
spiritual awakening that is here for all.
