Heartfriends from around the world are gathering to usher in 2012 as the year of mankind's awakening. Our feast of light opens December 29 at the Spirit of the Desert Retreat Center, located 30 miles north of Phoenix in Carefree, Arizona. Highlighting our four-day weekend celebration is the presence of the ascended masters and their teachings given through David C. Lewis, spiritual director and founder of The Hearts Center Community.

During our time together on this six-acre desert oasis, you will be able to salute the sun and your personal Solar Presence with sunrise and sunset meditations and Surya Yoga and guided Tai Chi exercises. You will accelerate your individual spiritual journey as we raise the Mother Light within ourselves and the earth body through devotional singing and dance. We will hike the meditation path, walk the large labyrinth, and experience a balancing of yin and yang energies by soaking in a hot water spa and then plunging into the cold water pool.

Join the ascended masters and many heartfriends in Carefree, envisioning and creating together a New Age of Enlightenment throughout the Earth.

David’s Comments on the Importance of Attending the New Year's Conference in Phoenix

I think that we were all impelled higher by beloved Saint Germain. And there is not much more to be said except for the fact that we have to map out how we will fulfill what he has asked in a very practical way, day by day…  

This event is so important for the Brotherhood and for us because it is the kickoff for the entire year…

If you can accept the possibility that this is workable, doable for you and put into motion by your God-desire this manifest victory, we will have 70 there and we will set the sail for a wonderful new year…

this is the entire seed of the new year that we will plant deep within the earth that will bear fruit in manifest ways and will allow us to expand our movement, to expand our offerings, expand what God has in store for us which we simply must be ready for, to accept and to nurture and to deliver…

Flower essences are excellent at helping us change our attitudes, process events that provoke strong emotional experiences, heal old or new wounds and change our perspective.

She will share insights into the unique cactus family and the deeper significance of their flower essences. http://www.desert-alchemy.com/

Solar Power 101 (3-minute animated lesson about our sun)

 

Building a Vaastu Temple by Jackie Fleder

Vaastu science is the study of the use of energies for the benefit of mankind by creating an equilibrium between man and his materials of architectural construction. This body of knowledge was cognized and composed by an ancient rishi named Mayan more than 12,000 years ago. Mayan perceived that there was an infinite source of energy that sought to manifest itself as the material world. Mayan demonstrated that artisans could create forms that would bring abundance, wellbeing and spiritual bliss to humanity.

 Queen of the Sun—What the Bees Are Telling Us (documentary film)

A profound, alternative look at the global bee crisis from Taggart Siegel, director of The Real Dirt on Farmer John. Taking us on a journey through the catastrophic disappearance of bees and the mysterious world of the beehive, this engaging and ultimately uplifting film weaves an unusual and dramatic story of the heartfelt struggles of beekeepers, scientists and philosophers from around the world including Michael Pollan, Gunther Hauk and Vandana Shiva. Together they reveal both the problems and the solutions in renewing a culture in balance with nature. View Trailer

Ivanka Grambelova and the Phoenix International Folk Dancers

Phoenix International Folk Dancers (PIFD) has been enjoying and promoting international dance since the 1960's. The group has had many different leaders and participants and, off and on over the years, has even had a performing group.

International folk dance is a form of recreation that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you can walk, you can folk dance! Many people get hooked by the music, the singing and the interesting rhythms. Others enjoy the challenge of learning and remembering patterns of steps, but most just enjoy the movement and spirit of the group.

Optional Day Trip on Monday, January 2, 2012
Attendees are invited to drive to Patagonia, Arizona either on Sunday afternoon, January 1, or on Monday morning to visit two authentic Vaastu temples. More....

Vaastu science is the study of energy to derive material form for the spiritual and material benefit of mankind. This body of knowledge was cognized and composed by an ancient rishi named Mayan more than 12,000 years ago. Mayan perceived that there was an infinite source of energy that sought to manifest itself as the material world. Mayan demonstrated that artisans could create forms that would bring abundance, wellbeing and spiritual bliss to humanity.

A building, like a human being, is manifest space and is alive. A temple, being supremely manifest space, is worship worthy. The objective of Vaastu-based architecture is to enclose space such that the building manifests God’s consciousness and vibrates with many qualities, including wealth, health, harmony, and joy. Those who spend time in a Vaastu temple, or live nearby, begin vibrating at the frequency of the temple and are raised in consciousness. They begin to outpicture qualities of the temple. These temples benefit both the owner and the community-at-large.

Most Indian rishis, including all of the eighteen siddhars, such as Pantanjali, received their enlightenment through spending extensive time in a Vaastu temple. Ailing local villagers were sent to spend a few days in a temple. Often they would receive in a dream the name of an herb that would aid in their healing. Other times the temple would heal them.

Both temples shown below were built by students of the American University of Mayonic Science and Technology under the direction of Dr. Jessie Mercay. http://www.aumscience.com. Dr Jessie, who has traveled all over India studying Vaastu architecture and temples, feels that these two temples are as vibrant as any in India. One temple will be complete in October.

Consider visiting these temples after the conference. Adventurous souls who wish to really absorb the energy of the temple can spend the night in one of them and or pitch a tent at the temple site.
