Hi everyone, this week we're on the stunning volcanic island of La Palma in the Atlantic off the north coast of Africa for the Openhand New Year retreat 2020. And you can join us! I'm going to be posting daily meditations, guidances, photos and sharings so you can pick up the vibe and have your own inquiry as a welcome part of the group. The virtual retreat - through the ether - will run from Monday 27th till Friday 31st and I'll be posting here daily in this journal.

Hi Everyone, I have to say there are plenty of times, just like you I'm sure, when I don't feel much like an angel! Neverthelss, I've been asked to speak at January's 2020 online summit, which certainly has an otherworldy air to it and promises to be pretty interesting. Certainly there's a growing energetic resonance and upliftment going on within humanity, as summits like these resonate and reflect. You can access the event for free, and listen to different viewpoints concerning the shift of consciousness happening across our planet.

Here are details of when to listen in...

Greetings everyone. Welcome to 2020
This feels very much like it's going to be a year of great transformation and infinite possibility. The veils are falling rapidly now as the two worlds reveal themselves. The heightening glitz and the glamour of the old are nothing but Emperor's new clothes. The real garment we're weaving together, the real parable, is that of our inexorable shift into the higher light of "5D" consciousness.

For many in spiritual circles the hibernal solstice is the real celebration of transition rather than Christmas. It's where the sun begins its transition from one hemisphere to the other. So it symbolises letting go and rebirth - embracing something new. I encourage all to reflect at this time. What is it you feel you're ready to let go of in your life? What might be limiting or holding you back?

Openhand's current World Tour, Arise Divine Being, will conclude this weekend in the most special of places - the Sterkfontein Caves in South Africa, known widely as the "Cradle of Humanity". Humanity's true Origins are a complex mystery. The genetics clearly reveal we did not descend naturally from the apes! We bear much DNA of the hominids, but the missing link has never been located in the 3D. Hence to understand who we really are and where we really came from, we must explore beyond this limiting box.

Come and join us through the ether this weekend, where I'll be guiding a group on an energetic journey deep within, confronting humanity's convoluted karmic history, and exploring how we emerge out into the Divine Human. It's sure to be an enthralling journey!

I've been invited to share the Openhand Energy at the upcoming "Global Spiritual Awakening Conference", an entirely web based weekend, involving speakers and musicians from all around the world. It takes place on November 16th/17th. In essence, for my part, I'll be sharing a 45 minute webinar, exploring the principle aspects of Earth's 5D Shift. It promises to be an interesting weekend for sure. Here are the details if you'd like to take part...

Hello friends of Openhand. Based on our illuminating course work with you all, we've been progressively improving and updating the 5D Shift Project as a framework of inner inquiry for your progressive unfolding into higher dimensional consciousness. Dive in with us for a little while and explore what's in store and how it can begin helping you right now.

Namaste, Open

Explore Openhand's 5D Shift project, begin your next shift now!...

I'm feeling a tremendous amount of excitement as I write this. It's facilitator week in Avebury beginning today. And we've got a very international group of aspirants joining the gathering, people who've travelled plenty with Openhand. For me personally, there's nothing as rewarding and fulfilling as facilitating the emergence of soul in another. It's the pinnacle of what this work is all about. So what's involved in being an effective spiritual facilitator? How do you hone your craft and get it out there so people might connect with it? And how does this all interrelate with the Shift?

We'll be exploring these essential questions during the gathering this week. If the subject interests you, do join us through the ether. I'll be sharing daily posts, updates and suggestions about how to develop your facilitator skills.

As I write, I'm brimming with excitement and sense of adventure. It's the beginning of our annual 'jewel in the crown' course "DIVINICUS", up in the stuperndous mountains of Snowdonia. We've got an enthusiastic group of 14, joining us from all over the world to be here, and you can join in too! As treasured members of our virtual family, I like to share the thrills and the spills, so as to activate your own process and catalyse an unfolding of Your Divine Being.

The groups gathers this evening, and the work begins in earnest Saturday 15th. Here's how you can be a part of it. We're thrilled to have you join us "through the ether"...

Our time has arrived. As the mainstream sleepwalks into a synthetic reality based on 'Smart' technology, so we must now begin our Ascension into 5D consciousness in earnest. The healing of Gaia will be to cleanse this cancerous invasion in the 3D through Abrupt Climate Change and the accelerating Pole Shift to progressively shift vibration into 5D/6D/7D. It's time to truly uncover the Divine Being in the depths of you, to break open the shell, and step out into the world as your glorious God-Self. The time for playing it small has long since evapourated. Come step into the Openhand crucible of profound evolutionary change. Our time has come.

If you've been following us through the ether, it's time to connect with us on the ground, and feel the awesome vibe of soul family, all exploring, expanding and evolving together. Let's make it happen. Arise Divine Being!

It seems highly appropriate and synchronistic to be at the retreat centre "Eden Rise" at this phenomenal time in our history. This is the fourth in the sequence of "Living the Shift" retreats around the world, all of which have been superlative. With a wonderfully diverse group gathered, I can already tell this has all the alchemy for another amazing gathering. Once more I feel to share insights from the event with you all in the wider Openhand community. I invite you to tune in, be inspired by the energy, and apply some of the guidance to your daily life. Now more than ever, it's time for us to Rise!

Hi Everyone in the Openhand Virtual Community.

Wherever you are, "Blessings", as we transition through this very poignant Easter Break 2019. I'm blessed to be hosting a rich and diverse group of souls from across the cosmos. It promises to be a real humdinger. And we'd be delighted to have you join us 'through the ether', where distance is no object. Here's how you might take part and what's involved...
