Our Gaia Weekend in Oregon [UPDATED WITH PICTURES!]

Posted on Aug 5th, 2008 by Keith : Gentle Soul Keith
UPDATED with pictures and links at the bottom to others who attended.

Around 15 or 16 Gaia members spent this past weekend in a Glass House in a small community named Florence on the coast of Oregon.  Actually, there were so many of us . . . we had to rent TWO houses!!!!

Magical Gaia Transformation Weekend 0098



We were trying to come up with a name for the event and one that resonated the best was the "Northwest Transformation Weekend" . . . but this still doesn't quite get it.  The weekend began with a solar eclipse and it also included a New Moon.  To say it was transformative would be an understatement.

There were many healings . . . laughing . . . crying . . . feasting . . . sharing . . . merely being . .

It was magic.  We're already talking about when we want to do it again.

So we began with a virtual community . . . and brought our connections and friendship into the world of matter.

We did not want to leave.  No one wanted it to end.  A lot of tears were shed at our departure.

Did I leave anyone out?  If I did, was unintentional.  Some haven't blogged, though.

Oh yes!!!!  We all talked about you and the meeting about to take place on the “Right Coast”!!!!  We told everyone about our Summer in Maine last year, where a handful of us gathered.

You'll have so much fun!!!!!  How do I know?  Because Carla will be there!!!!!  Tell her she needs to be on a lake in New England with the rest of the loons!!!  And I mean this with the greatest of compliments and Love!!!!

Will Rich be there?  He's cool, but not loonie.  If the two of them were to be an act, he'd be the straight guy.

Wish we could be with you.  But Spirit moved us to the Left Coast … and we're loving every second …

I am looking for Rich on Gaia but I can't find him. I think I can email him outside of Gaia, I'll try that. Bob O, the Loon Meister of China Lake is having a party Sunday after the Gaia Gang Gathers. I'll say hi for you Keith. Thanks for the referral, Now Mary knows what she's in for!

Keith, I'm thanking the good God(dess) for whatever it was that brought you and Aley to my coast from the far east.  Everything happens for a reason…IT DOES!  It makes me feel all warm inside know you guys are “just up the road.” 

Thank you for this post and for linking the blogs.  As if words were enough…

Keith, you are truly amazing.  And you are so right about Carla.  This is a great idea.  I should post links to the other blogs about the gathering, too.  They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but I've never liked “flattery”, although I tend to say nice things about people.  What I DO like is seeing Right Action in the world, and you are a man who does good things.  I am so grateful to know you!

A special, special, special 'thanks' to one and all for visiting my blog and the grand comments. 

I must say, the pictures and words are fantastic … but try as we may … these don't quite capture the essence of our magical weekend. 

Perhaps the orbs in the moon picture above are an indication of where this magic came from.  Was quite surprised when I was “playing around” with the camera trying to capture a crescent moon at sunset that … lo and behold … all these orbs show up!!!  Funny thing is, I took three pictures in a row and when I looked at the time they were taken … all three were listed as the exact same time.  So, these were within seconds of each other.  This was the middle one and the only one to display orbs.

Spirit or The Spirits were definitely with us …
