BE THE CHANGE!
'SUPPORT HILLTOP TRIBAL SCHOOL PHILIPPINES'

Ending of 2012 was powerful time with exciting happenings in the solar and human system; November
offered two Eclipses; a powerful Total Solar and a gentle, healing Lunar Eclipse. A possibility to transform
our masculine and feminine sides before ending the Mayan Calendar on 21. 12. 2012.
Energies of possibilities, excitement, wonder and transformation were in the air.
Aboriginal communities held several gatherings to acknowledge, celebrate but also engage sharings to
learn from the past while moving into The New Time. I was invited to The Global Elders Gathering in the
far North QLD. First mixed Gathering on this Land. Elders and Future leaders from all over the globe came
to Yarrabah – heart of this land to meet with aboriginal community and to participate in an ancient
ceremony performed every 26.000 years: REBIRTH OF THE SACRED FIRE.
A gathering, a circle of 120 people, elders, future leaders, pregnant women - mothers to be,
grandmothers and grandfathers, firekeepers, children yet to walk the land, shared stories of loss and
hope, of death and birth, of anger and compassion, of knowledge and wisdom. Many stories, many
dreams, many Visions.

Common thread was Education.
