Creating Sacred Space The Experience of Sacred Space makes possible the “founding of the world”: where the sacred Manifests itself in space, the real unveils itself, and the world comes into existence … Mircea Eliade … What is Sacred Space? Read and re-read the quote above. Take it into your space of meditation. Analyze, dissect and observe it from all angles, perspectives and meaning. Try to feel the weight and breath of its meaning and allow the words to gently wash over you. Digest it and then simply sit with the feeling of satiety its inner essence provides. And, once you have done these things, redo them, one by one.…

Book Review – How to Save the Planet: 10 Simple Steps That Can Change the World by Luke Eastwood
Book Review How to Save the Planet 10 Simple Steps That Can Change the World by Luke Eastwood 102 Pages Let me start by saying that this kind of primer is absolutely essential. We know climate change is a serious issue. We know humans have the biggest impact on the planet. As a society, we understand this.

We all have to change and we all have to change now. Luke’s book is not only a way to reconnect with this…

Loksnät {spiders web}) around the elves and dwarves was put in place to replace the belief in beings that once had a seat next…
