Sacred Groves

Today I would like to introduce to you a new project with which we will help our planetary sphere to bring back into balance what is gone out of balance.

"We" are more than 200+ individuals in other parts of Germany. We are neither politically nor religiously organized nor members of any organization or group of any kind. We are completely independent, acting as a grassroots effort, thus dedicated since decades to the healing of Mother Earth. From time to time we come together from all directions of the wind to celebrate an important ceremony. It is urgent that we do this again this year. So we will organize a powerful peace and healing ceremony on June 25, 2022, named "Sacred Groves" ("Heilige Haine" in German).

Therefore, on June 25, 2022, we will organize a powerful peace and healing ceremony named "Sacred Groves".

We have achieved extraordinary things in the last two years within the projects "Medicine Wheel". First, it is the emerging and cosmically connecting energy structure around the geographical center of Germany near Niederdorla. With your help, the team of 2020 has set an energetic anchor there in the grove at the "Opfermoor", the influential acupuncture point in the heart of our country and of the whole continent. From your meditation places, you have connected to this center and absorbed the energy.

With your waters of the past year 2021 you have honored the life-bringing medium of our planet and in one way or another brought it back to her. As far as it was possible, you did it in free nature, as it was suggested in the subtitle of the projects: "Above the hills and mountain tops". The circle I drew around the center includes the Harz Mountains, the Saale-Unstrut-Triasland Nature Park, the Ilm Valley from Oettern to Kranichfeld, the Thuringian Forest, the Rhoen Mountains, the Knuell Forest, the Reinhards Forest, and many other hills and forests on and near this circle. At the same time it includes many ancient sites, which are connected with our, also or especially pre-Christian, history. All the places of power there have become part of our project.

Through your participation, other places have been included and activated, some still local, but through the bringing of the waters, the framework has been expanded internationally. And even more so, this has happened through the information where you have laid down crystals during your stays in other countries, which you have included in the meditations and thus activated on site. You have created a wonderful energy network and can thus effectively influence the energy body of our earth.

I have struggled for a long time and have now come to the conclusion that in order to become even more effective, we can quietly return to our own roots, sacred places and also our own nature-oriented customs. Why wander far and wide? Our ancestors were existentially connected with nature and honored it. There is still a lot here - let's use it.

Would you like to join in?

The Project of 2022 is named: "Project Sacred Groves" and shall have its summit on on June 25, 2022 with a combined healing and meditation ceremony.

The word "grove" ("Hain" in German) is an ancient word and inseparable from the even older German word "hag". All of you were in "sacred groves" during the wonderful projects of 2020/2021. Some of you were surrounded by trees and bushes, others created circles from stones, others sat together surrounded by a circle of grass or straw. But even those who worked from home were in a grove in the broadest sense, the very sacred environment they themselves created in connection with the medicine wheel arrangement in their hag, their space. In this context, our labyrinths also have very special characteristics.

Look around for the new project in your living environment, do research. You will see that there are many old, sometimes forgotten "sacred groves" in your near and far surroundings. Groves were the most sacred places for our forefathers and foremothers and there were many of them with regional importance for whole communities. We should take up the energy of these old holy places again for our project. But what you do at home is also in line with this principle and is just as important. It is also important not to have any misgivings about the word "sacred" because, of course, this word also has ancient roots.

The week from June 20 to June 26 is the second most important time of the year next to the Roughs. It is the time of the Midsummer Festival.

On June 21 we celebrate the festival Litha. It is the summer solstice.

This festival was long combated by the church, finally they put a "St. John's Day" on June 24 against it. In Sweden, for example, Midsommar is always celebrated on the Saturday between June 20 and 26. The Friday before is called midsommarafton (Midsummer's Eve) and the Saturday is called midsommardag (Midsummer's Day).

Because it is now also more practical for us to celebrate our meditation festival on a Saturday, I have chosen June 25. This way we are optimally connected astronomically and with important, old energy customs from our regions.

We will again use our medicine wheels, because the colors chosen by our women are also relevant for the Litha Festival: blue, green and yellow. This time, however, we will use incense, which we will place in fireproof bowls on our medicine wheels, in our stone circles, in the centers of the labyrinths, and also simply in the center of our human circles. Suitable for this purpose are: lime, pine, rose and incense. This smoking should be surrounded by love amulets, summer flowers, shells and native summer fruits. Around it can be arranged mugwort, verbena, St. John's wort, chamomile, hemp, elder, lavender, pine, rose and thyme, experts can make teas from them. Put flower wreaths in your hair, dress white or colorful if you like. And, if you wish, add sounds to your ceremony with the instruments you are familiar with. The sound of cymbals, for example, is excellent for introducing and ending sections of the meditation. Feel free to loosen up the 60 minutes of meditation time, not everyone can sit quietly for 60 minutes. What is important is that we have a core time that is taken with seriousness and also sometimes carried by minutes of high concentration and closed eyes.

The tree accompanying our project in 2022 will be the hornbeam. If you have one in your neighborhood, put a crystal to it and invite it to be an ambassador of our project for the forests. And if you dare, give them a hug afterwards.

And after our project is completed, you should all celebrate really well!

Last year, we channeled our energy entirely into the planet's waters. This time we are connecting with the sacred groves of our planet or creating new ones, in order to further develop and strengthen our positive global energy network with their help. I myself will continue to work hard to establish national and international contacts, let's see if the matrix helps here as well. I will report to you about it.

If the sky is clear in the next weeks, go out and look at the sky. Up there, the Winter Hexagon is now emblazoned. It is intimately and historically connected to our energetic work and will then later in the summer, invisible by day, stand high above our sacred groves.It is in itself a sacred grove in the stars.

So this is a first announcement of a meditation ceremony becoming wonderful again with the aim to reach the consciousness of the people. A change of thinking and consequently a change of behavior can only take place through the power of thought. Please pass on this information, invite friends and fellow human beings. Please write me if you want to be/stay involved - it is for Mother Earth. It is for humanity. It is for you.

And the most important to finish:

Do not lose faith. Do not lose faith in yourselves.
