    Meeting at the Well

    Last Month’s Women’s Retreat was wildy successful with an attendance of 13 for a full day of sacred self-care, nourishment, and deeply self-soothing and healing practices that enlightened our minds, lifted our spirits and awakened our souls. This beautiful gift right before Mother’s Day was the perfect way to usher in this monumental wave of nurturing that we all tend to forget amongst our busy lives.

    It was very insightful, community building and uplifting”.I absolutely would attend another retreat like this and recommend it to a friend too. “

    Truthseekers:

    Our Truthseekers group met last week with some really good discussions on health and wellness.

    Carolyn Blake brought medicine balls for us to try, and we talked about healthy eating. Deborah Matsushima talked about her Life Wave Patch and how she uses that, Erick shared some things about Mushrooms and how they are helping boost his immunity and Renee Guidelli spoke of how singing, chanting and toning is good for the spirit. They closed with a song dedicated to the Ancestors with Don McBride playing his Shamanic Drum that he made while living out west.

    Truth Seekers meets the first and third Thursday of the month from 2-4, where topics like hidden messages in the bible, ET or otherworldly beings’, Sacred Geometry and Worldly Events are discussed. We recently added Self-Healing, and Health and Wellness as a topic for the First Thursday of the month. Our next meeting will be Thursday June 19th from 2-4 . If you can’t attend in person you might want to join us via the Heart Centered Living Radio Station.

    Drum and Song Circle

    Our last Drum circle was a lovely mixture of free-style drum using the frame drum, and djembe, songs and chants from around the world including one to honor our Grandmothers, as well as my personal favorite “The Priestess Mothers” A Hebrew and Aramaic chant with soft frame drum that we open up with during Women’s gatherings. It is always so wonderful to see and hear what people bring to the circle when we meet including dance, rhythm and various songs, and drumming beats to ensure a very well rounded experience for everyone. We have now updated the Drumming Page on the site if you want to take a gander.

    Drum Making Workshop Is being Planned

    Both Erick and I have made quite a few drums over the past couple years and we have heard some of you mention that if we were to teach a workshop on that you would like to attend. Well we have heard you and we are going to start doing this with small groups of 4 or so. We will send you to the link to purchase your kit from another retail supplier that we recommend first and then once you have your supplies, we will set you up with the rest of the details of your workshop. Mail to: reneeguidelli@frontiernet.net if you want to make a drum with us this year.

    A soul alignment healing experience

    On the 6/6 Portal, I offered myself a powerful healing session using my massage healing table—what I now lovingly refer to as the Joan of Arc Bed or medicine bed. This is no ordinary massage table; it has become a vessel of deep spiritual transmission. Over the past decade, I’ve cultivated a relationship with a dedicated team of high-level Spirit Guides and energetic allies who now assist me in providing transformative realignment sessions.

    These in-person experiences are deeply guided, personalized, and energetically activating—perfect for those seeking clarity, healing, or support in awakening their inner strength and divine purpose.

    If you’ve been curious about energy healing, guided soul work, or are simply longing to rest in a space of sacred stillness, I invite you to come experience it for yourself. You can read more about it here and book your own experience.

    I have been leading various types of meditation, guided visualizations, and mindfulness practices for over 25 years.

    As the world speeds up, we must find ways to slow down.

    Reflecting on choosing the color that spoke to us most, and then finding an area/item in the room physically manifested my desire to be openly and truly myself”.-Hannah

    “It was wonderful to just dive in and be fully immersed in a task that required no real decision making! I really enjoy getting together as a group – it’s great to have something to look forward to. Something to do out of joy, not obligation
