beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing there is a field....i'll meet you there

Pearls of wisdom from the pantyhose of a drag queen at the brilliant Madame Zingara Theatre of Dreams. I feel so exhilarated after the show - what an inspiration. Our very own SOUTH AFRICAN gypsy extravaganza, created out of necessity after a fire, these performers leave you breathless, speechless and craving more. The tent was brought in from Ireland and is only 1 of 3 of its type in the world. The show is set up and dismantled in its entirety as it travels across the country. The show in Johannesburg last night was amazing. The most sensual performances suspended from the tent top, delicious food, attentive waiters, bearded ladies and other circus types, exquisite bodies and so much more made this an event to diarise for the next decade!! Truly a feast for the eyes, taste buds, mind, body and soul - thank you Madame!!

one of the greatest sources of energy and motivation is feeling compassion for others

and so our eco village phase 1 got underway

a group of dedicated, enthusiastic workers got together on 11 July 2008 to start with the preparation of our permaculture garden. Some ground-breaking and back-breaking work was done - thanks so much to Carina for her loving guidance, Heidi & Wikus, Natazia, Joseph and Skosana for their energies.

We dug a bed of about 2m x 1m x 1m and filled it layers of compost, flattened tin cans (for the iron), horse manure, egg shells, organic garden waste, straw, creating layers and covering with rich top soil.

Now we wait for earthworms to set up home and for good decomposition to take place.

Some tired backs, lame arms and smiling faces felt a sense of achievement - it's good to get the soil under your nails.

the Universe called and a group of light-bearers got together on the weekend of 21 June 2008 to share their dreams, visions and minds. What started as a chat bewtween 6 of us grew into this "bosberaad" of 28. Some may feel connected to the group, intent on being part of this intentionl community, others are treasured friends just wanting to share knowledge and experiences. All are precious and welcome to contribute to this blog.

We WILL make it happen!

nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists, therein lies the Peace of God

rupa & the april fishes...thx heiner!

we are gaining momentum, at last!

I remain in awe of the Great Power that orchestrates Life and all in it.

What began on 1 June 2008 as a relaxed, informal, chat between some relatively new and other brand new friends has since astonishingly evolved into a great meeting of minds, talents, dreams and visions. A deep soul project that I am sure will take us all on an amazing journey.

Serendipity??!! Co-incidence??!! Chance??!! Out of the blue??!! All words that have taken on a new meaning. I have sensed and known for many years that there was something BIG out there waiting to happen, that inexplicable "bubbling up" in my solar plexus (the place where Spirit resides) that carries with it an extreme sense of anticipation. Yet it still amazes me that each and every occurrence of our lives, even down to the mundane, are pre-destined. Nothing is a co-incidence - we are meant to meet the people we meet, even if for just a while, and then to move on, sometimes heart-breakingly so; to experience all the highs and lows of life; to touch fear, to brush with death, to fly in ecstasy, to just breathe, all in order to fulfill a particular purpose. To rest in the knowledge that life is unfolding as it should, this is the messenger of peace.

And so we begin our journey together.......thank you that you chose to be a part of this.
