Conscious Evolution Meeting, aboard the inter-island ferry. There’s a global movement around this growing awareness which is using Dec. 22, the day after the end of the Mayan calendar, as a focal point for birthing a shift in our society to one that is more compassionate, sustainable, peaceful, loving, and synchronistic. This gathering can serve as a beginning for an ongoing support network to share ideas for working together. Feel free to bring a short poem or song to share if you’d like, as well as what work you may already be doing in the world that’s contributing to this shift in consciousness and being in the world.
