The 12th Sacred Pounamu symbol is now in place.

Posted by Phoebe Hoogendyk on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 | Comments (0)

The 12th stone is now in place and our time on the Peace Trail came with many tough challenges, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. All were overcome with wisdom, courage and the coming together of 8 people from incredibly diverse backgrounds to walk with one heart. The 12 stones placed in sacred sites all over this planet, have now been activated as the pounamu bull roarer, sung by Paul and a wooden one sung by Tangi, the first of the Arahura people to walk the trail in the old way in over 150 years, sang their songs on the Ridge of the Wisdom Keepers...and the ancient ones and the ancestors presence was so strong and with us. We all felt held by them and thanked by them for walking the trail in the old way..in peace and of one heart..and that Paul and I had answered their call and followed our hearts to complete this journey that they set us out on almost 25 years ago.
Now it is complete and it is the beginning, we feel of something rather wonderful for the whole planet that the Ancient Ones had in mind for this time...this special time of great change on Pachamama. Read More

When I see things like this I despair that as Humans we will ever get it. Will we ever learn to treat this beautiful planet the way is needs to be treated?

Are we afraid of Death or of Living?

Posted by Phoebe Hoogendyk on Tuesday, May 17, 2011 | Comments (0)

Toguna or meeting house in Mali West Africa. They are made short so that you have to sit to talk to each other and no-one can stand over another or fight with them except with words.

Was chatting to a young friend and they mentioned their fear around dying and death. It became apparent during the conversation that this fear held them back from life.
During our greenstone journeys and our journeys through life we (Paul and Phoebe) have faced death many times in may different circumstances.
All of these events have served to strengthen our desire to live the life we have been gifted.
How many of us are so unconsciously afraid of dying and death that we have become afraid to live and we have passed that fear onto our children and grandchildren?
News flash!! No-one gets out of life in a physical body, alive. NO-ONE. Even if we ascend, we leave our physical body to die and move into spirit.
So I, and all those who have faced death before and move passed the fear, know our message for today is move beyond any fear you have around dying and death and then and only then will you truly be able to "live" and appreciate "life" in the full sense of the words.
Have an exciting and memorable day..do something you have never done before that will bring you and another, joy.
with love Phoebe and Paul.

There is Something we all can do..we can unite in consciousness.

The power of human consciousness, especially when we all come together is truly amazing. Now more than ever we need to use the power of our intent as groups of consciousness. Dr Masaru Emoto has put out this plea to the world and Paul and I intend to follow through....will you? Lets get together and really find a new and ancient way of healing the planet. Read More

Filaments of Light and Love

Posted by Phoebe Hoogendyk on Wednesday, February 09, 2011 | Comments (0)

Today we received two photos from our Dogon guide and friend, Mamadou of his first born child and son named "Paul Traore" in honour of our friendship and visit. It reminds us of the filaments of love and light that are constantly connecting around the planet. It reminds us of the ever changing face of the world as well. Our dear friend Carla Woody has just returned from a journey to the Lacandon Maya in Naja, Mexico and told us to hang on to our photos of the dug out canoes we rode out onto Lake Naja just a couple of years ago to do our stone ceremony...they are no more..replaced by fibreglass ones. Also one of the young men who wore the traditional long white robe and his hair long has cut it and now dons western clothes.
So the birth of little Paul and our connection reminds us to never give up hope for the Dogon still live, for the most part as they always have. Whilst these filaments of love and light keep on connecting and circling our planet, then the wisdom of the ancients will remain with us and continue to hold out the hand of knowledge on how to create positive change. So we will continue to keep the fires of the Ancients burning.

IT IS TIME!!

Posted by Phoebe Hoogendyk on Friday, February 04, 2011 | Comments (0)

With All that is going on. on our planet right now it is time for us all to open our eyes and truly see, to open our minds and truly understand, to open our ears and really listen, to open our hearts and finally feel..It is time for us all to step up and be all we can be, to help birth our rapidly changing world into a new era with ease instead of pain, with joy instead of grief, with connectedness instead of separation and love instead of fear. Lets celebrate our differences and rejoice in our similarities for what affects one, affects us all.

Who are we Really? What is our true History

Posted by Phoebe Hoogendyk on Thursday, January 20, 2011 | Comments (1)

In Order to know who we are, we need to see who we were. Then we can look ahead and see who we are going to become"
Our history as we know it is not our true history. There is a deep heritage that we are yet to connect with or re-connect with. This is what the ancient peoples of our planet have held safe for us over the centuries..if we dare to seek we will find it, and it will set us all free.
