How Perfect,
a Gaia Festival the weekend of Memorial Day!

I would be here if I am in the area
and free...

This looks like an exciting event.

Joy Krauthammer will be doing some sound healing.
She sent me this!

PLEASE FORWARD THE GAIA FESTIVAL INFO TO FRIENDS.
Sunday, May 27th, I will be at the Gaia Festival as Sound Healer playing crystal and Tibetan singing bowls. The glorious presenters are mamash, truly the best in their fields.
Come play, drum, dance, plant 'seed dreams', feel the earth under your feet, and your own joy.

I look forward to seeing you at GAIA FESTIVAL. Come join us.

( Happy that I am on my way to Mount Sinai with Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi at Elat Chayyim... As we reach toward the 49th day of the introspective Omer counting and Shavuot, may you feel your cleansed clarity of self as you receive the Torah on Mt. Sinai. )

One love, shalom and abundant blesSings of health, harmony and joy to you,
Joy Krauthammer

********New Additions**********

In case you haven't heard, Gaia Festival has two non-profit partners this year, Temple of the Goddess, Pasadena and global sustainability think-tank Empowerment Works: the perfect combination of spiritual and practical magic!

Xia and her attendant Priestesses from the Temple of the Goddess, Pasadena have developed a powerful and transformative opening ceremony to invoke Gaia and send healing energies to the ailing bee populations.

We will be planting the seeds of our intentions to bring peace and well being to all living things we are in relationship to on Mother Earth.

The opening ceremony begins on Saturday, May 26th at 10:30am sharp, and will feature the drumming talent of frame drummer and singer, Miranda Rondeau.

We will be accepting $5 donations to go directly to Temple of the Goddess, Pasadena for those of you who wish to give something to a group of women who are helping create a Goddess and Earth-loving world. Of course, no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Seasoned event organizer and founder of Empowerment Works,
http://www.empowermentworks.org)
Melanie St. James enthusiastically jumped on board recently to help out with some of her practical magic!

Melanie is giving a talk called "Social Permaculture" on Sunday, May 27th at 2:00 pm. Melanie practices a model of support and collaboration that creates a sustainable future for our planet. The crisis humanity faces is of epic proportions and Melanie brings her education and vast experiences from the field to assist in creating bridges of understanding and cooperation.

Like Gaia Festival, Melanie brings together diverse, multi-cultural artists, scientists and businesses in order to pool our collective wisdom towards solving the many issues and problems we are facing today.
We will also be accepting $5 donations for Melanie's talk that will benefit her non-profit organization Empowerment Works.

Another way to help support Gaia Festival and its two non-profit partners is to buy raffle tickets at the Festival for $5 each. No need to be present to win, just be sure to leave your address and phone number in case you need to leave before the drawings - we will do one drawing on Saturday evening and another on Sunday afternoon. We have some amazing raffle prizes!

The LA Philharmonic is donating two pairs of tickets for its concert series this summer at the Hollywood Bowl;

YogaWorks is giving away one free week of yoga classes;

Hollywood & Highland Center is donating a $100 voucher for the restaurant Vert and a one-night stay at the Radisson Hotel overlooking Kodak Theatre, the home of the Oscars;

Toni O' Bryan of Be Light and Ka-ching (check out her amazing office, it's the lime green house on Abbott Kenney Blvd and her website:
http://www.kaching-creative.com
) is donating an Avesa Balancing Session worth $129. Toni will also be on hand during the festival to give 8 minute mini treatments with her Egyptian Healing Rods.

More to come...

Julie St. James, one of the Gaia Festival Healers, is offering an Herb Walk through Temescal Gateway Park to show us the native plants and herbs in the area and how some can be used for healing purposes. The walk will be gentle -- it's not a strenuous hike. The workshop is complimentary to festival badge holders only (pre-registered participants), and $10 for the general public. The Herb Walk takes place on Sunday, May 27th at 9 AM.
