Freedom Festival 16 a comment

Dear Reader This is a report from one member who was at the Sweetwood Temenos Freedom Festival 16th.

Hi all you Sweet Folks,
Well just came back from SweetWood Freedom Fest yesterday.   The running themes I felt were “Centering”  and “Paradise”.
 
When I think of Paradise, I think of the freedom to be who you are.  When I think of Centering, I think of knowing who you are.  Both of these I found at Freedom Fest.  One of the first rituals we did is manifesting Paradise.  What is Paradise?  Many have different views.  We did a chant that enabled us to raise the energy of the manifestation of the person views of Paradise.  It was magical.  There were many, many other opportunities to connect with others.  I enjoyed the Mandala workshop with Delta, another way I found myself connecting with SweetWood.  How can we take the magic of SweetWood and Freedom Fest home when many of us are of two worlds?  If we think of Paradise being within we can.  If we realize there are people around we can connect to and we still have the connection of old and new friends we’ve made this last weekend we can.  Who can we find in the world we live in outside of SweetWood that we can share the magic with?
 
I also want to acknowledge the blessings from the healing aspect of our connection to the land of SweetWood.  Also let us not forget the wonderful water that helped us stay cool to what my son was calling SweatWood or we could call it WetWood as we made the cooling connection with both water from the hose and the joys that come from running through the sprinkler.  
 
Blessed Be and Never Thirst,
Sherry
