Somewhere under the sea
We connect with another reality
One where we’re in the flow
Of watery immortality…
For water links us all
The big and the small
It flows in and out
Of our bodies you see!
Sometimes in you
And sometimes in me!
That’s collective memory
Flowing through different
Realities.
Barbara is the Founder of the term Conscious Evolution.
This is a quote from her site www.barbaramarxhubbard.com
“The Next Stage of Human Development: Conscious evolution is the evolution of evolution, from unconscious to conscious choice. While consciousness has been evolving for billions of years, conscious evolution is new. It is part of the trajectory of human evolution, the canvas of choice before us now as we recognize that we have come to possess the powers that we used to attribute to the gods.
We are poised in this critical moment, facing decisions that must be made consciously if we are to avoid destroying the world as we know it, if we are instead to cocreate a future of immeasurable possibilities. Our conscious evolution is an invitation to ourselves, to open to that positive future, to see ourselves as one planet, and to learn to use our powers wisely and ethically for the enhancement of all life on Earth.
Conscious evolution can also be seen as an awakening of a ‘memory’ that resides in the synthesis of human knowing, from spiritual to social to scientific. Indeed, all of our efforts to discover the inherent design of life itself can be seen as the process of one intelligence, striving to know itself through our many eyes, and to set the stage for a future of immense cocreativity”.

Today’s the 1st of May
That’s Global Love Day
Love makes the world go round they say
How was your day today?
Did you remember to play?
Sometimes we are so busy reaching for the sky
In all that we do
We forget to ground ourselves here on the earth too
How about you?
So as it’s about Love today
(Isn’t it every day?)
Thought I’d post you this image of sacred space
The invisible threads you create
When you’re both connected
To your heart, body and soul
Not some place else made of mortar and bricks
Nor floating somewhere up in the sky
But right here now in the oneness you share
You create an energy field of love
I call it a Temple ‘Made on Earth’
Open your mind right into your heart
Feel your heart’s lotus flower
Into fullness
Together not apart
Let the light of your heart
Guide you each step…
It’s not easy says the mind
So used to running the show
What’s going to happen
I really want to know
But heart says just let go
Into the place of not know
The place where you’ll grow
Cos there you can go with the flow
Of the natural rhythm of life’s
Unfolding from moment to moment
It’s not written in a book
Though you may look and look!
But opening out and in as you go
Your heart knows how to do it
Because it trusts in the not know
To lead you into new lands
New opportunities to grow
That’s peace you see
Not settling past woes
Expectations or fears
But at ease in the magic it sees
Not balancing opposing forces
But merged into oneness of heart
That’s Peace…
From Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I am spending the month of August. If you have never been you should definitely put it on your list. A creative mix of arts, science and spirituality. People are ‘drawn’ here to co-create new realities.
Well it’s been an ‘epic’ week! It started with attending a performance at the world renowned open-air Opera 
of Santa Fe – a new opera called Adriana Mater, about the choice: to continue the devastation of ‘conflict’ OR radical forgiveness and bridge-making of souls. The location and setting were ‘out of this world’!
Then I met Barbara Marx Hubbard! I attended her talk on ‘The Joy of Supra-Sex’ don’t you love it… Barbara is founder of the movement called Conscious Evolution. You can read more about her in my Feature below. But just to tempt you. It’s all about the Law of Attraction, bringing people together for a higher purpose to work through them. And she had us all in rapture! All of 80, Barbara is one of the most vibrant and energetic women I have ever met. A true inspiration of someone following her passion.
I then got to attend Barbara’s weekend on Conscious Leadership at Hummingbird Community (more about Hummingbird soon). It was a transformational experience of co-creative teamwork, the core for me being each of us ‘taking authority’ for our unique gifts to the world. You will hear more soon about what transpired out of this gathering. But for now, look what appeared in the sky as we were leaving. Don’t you love those messages from Nature.
Bridging seems to be the theme of the week!
So I thought I would share with you some of the inspiration behind Ankya Design.
I always love a good mystery and finding out how things work. Some years ago, having closed my natural therapies practice, I went on a journey of discovery out of which my images were birthed. Much of this journey involved my curiosity for indigenous culture and traditions. I see my images as a bridge between indigenous traditions and our contemporary world. A way of being in the world where you feel your connection with nature. Not separate but part of. Our true source of power comes from our connection with all that is.
Man of Fire is here to stay
His fix is quite simple I’d say
Just plug in direct to the cosmic ray!
No need for other substances
To break free of his skin
He just switches to universal
Energy supply
It shoots direct into his intuitive mind
And renders him totally blind
To his social conditioning
It makes him free
Of his personality
To live abundantly
His true potentiality
His very unique gifts to share
With this world so fair
His heart is alight with
Cosmic fire
That’s Man of Fire you see
Living harmoniously…
So lets build bridges between man and nature, man and woman, cultures, heart and mind. Balancing opposites for peace. When we create bridges we find pathways to resolve our challenges. What bridges would you like to build in your life?
BARBARA MARX HUBBARD
FOR THE ALLIANCE FOR A SUSTAINABLE COLORADO
“We hold these truths to be self-evident:
All people are born creative
Endowed by our Creator
With the inalienable
Right and Responsibility
To express their creativity
For the good of themselves
and the whole community.”
Excerpt from Barbara Marx Hubbard’s 1984 acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention when her name was placed in nomination for Vice President of the United States.
After the use of atomic bombs in World War II, Barbara Marx Hubbard at the age of 22 asked President Eisenhower, “What is the meaning of all our new powers that is good?”
Eisenhower replied, “I have no idea.”
Barbara replied, “Then we’d better find out.”
Thus began the journey for the creation of the White House Solutions Council. For 60 years Barbara has held the vision for the formation of a peace room as sophisticated as our war room. Meanwhile our country has been unable to solve the growing problems that have led us to the crises we’re currently facing. Our goal is to establish a center that will seek common goals and match needs and resources for the implementation of creative problem solving. Out of the breakdowns in our society we see breakthroughs in every field: health, education, environment, economics, government, etc. The White House Solutions Council would be a clearinghouse to seek new ideas for the betterment of humanity. The Citizens Solutions Council believes that with change imminent, a new administration can be empowered during this convention to implement this vision.
The White House Solutions Council
A Center for identifying, connecting and communicating
What’s Working in America
As America is poised at the threshold of political change, the citizens of our country are looking for solutions to the critical issues confronting our nation. The Citizens Solutions Council is proposing to re-energize the office of the Vice President and add a function to focus on innovations that can become the basis for the change our nation is demanding. Every citizen can contribute to this Center to help connect and communicate these positive solutions to resolve our current problems.
We propose the White House Solutions Council be established in the Office of the Vice President to encourage and highlight the creativity of the American people.
The White House Solutions Council will become a clearinghouse to match needs and resources for social innovations, solutions and projects that are already working in the fields of education, health, environment, economics etc.
Databases of empirical solutions are growing by the day. The Vice President’s office would provide a home for the marriage of human creativity and economic implementation.
Therefore, just as a simple comment to John F. Kennedy initiated the birth of the Peace Corps, the Citizens Solution Council proposes at this convention that the next administration create the White House Solutions Council as a new function for the office of the Vice President.
Most social problems have been solved by someone, somewhere, but the solutions are not widely known. With the help of the media and the instantaneous power of the Internet, these solutions can become reality.
Thanks to the Big Tent for providing the venue where this concept will be brought forth and inspire the grassroots movement that will promote greater creativity in problem solving for our future government.

I have just had a transformational weekend at Hummingbird Ranch in northern New Mexico, where I was honored to become a founding member of the Citizens Solutions Council.
I would like to invite you to also join.
We have six days until the Democratic National Convention, where Barbara Marx Hubbard will be launching an appeal to form the White House Solutions Council in the office of the Vice President.
It is our intention to make a similar presentation at the Republican National Convention in September.
The Alliance for a Sustainable Colorado is hosting The Big Tent at the Democratic National Convention, where we will be able to present our petition with thousands of names showing our support for positive change in our government.
Please read the declaration below and add your name as your voice to actualize this vision whose time has come. Sending this on to your network and asking your friends to do the same will multiply our numbers so we will be able to be heard by the new government.
Please visit citizenssolutionscouncil.net to sign our electronic petition,
then forward a link to it to everyone you know.
Thank you,
I thought you might like to see some pictures of some of my favourite sculptures here (there are SO many to choose from!). I love these two, how about you?
A dancing girl balancing on a sphere (see above). The art of grace and flexibility.
And here the Power of the Moon.
Santa Fe resonates to the energy of the Mother and is a meeting place for souls in transformation. I am blessed to be attending a gathering with Barbara Marx Hubbard this weekend on Evolutionary Leadership.
Here also is the Mandala that is centrepiece at ‘Celebration’ a weekly gathering of Community in Santa Fe. Sharing lives and vision for a peaceful world. I was so excited to see the symbol of the mother goddess on it. The same one I travel around with in my purse always. She represents belonging to the earth and being safe and secure in her love. Traditionally she is ‘hand sized’ and held like a comforter in the left hand. You can find a link to Colin Heaney’s wonderful goddesses on my site.
On the Mandala you can also see a ‘leafy’ infinity sign – the symbol for this abundance, the perfect balance of giving and receiving. And did you know the ‘infinity’ sign appeared in a field in Wiltshire, UK just this week on the 8th of the 8th of the 8th.
