Openhand introduces today our new Community Coordinator "Aspasia", who takes over from Fiona. With a colourful and widely experienced background in soul facilitation, the new role will be to "dance" within the Openhand community "ether", to connect new threads of inquiry and help inspire flowing movement; to support the transcendence of the merely physical. She'll also be the initial point of contact with regard to event management in the busy Openhand calendar. We're blessed to have Aspasia on board, at a time when we're ready to shift through new gears and launch into a whole new phase of Openhand growth. Be inspired by Aspasia's energy here...

We're literally buzzing here in the Openhand camp, because our Facilitator Summer School begins today, with 15 of us gathering once more near Avebury, UK, in what can only be described as 'crop circle grand central'. Openhand facilitation is all about learning to support consciousness expansions within people through the earth's Great 5D Shift. The shift is influencing all our lives, in our careers, relationships and general living circumstances. So by coming together and intuiting what stage the movement of energy is heading through, helps us be much more effective as facilitators. So what's involved in Openhand Spiritual Facilitation and what will the week be about? As always, we'll be running a daily journal so you may join in the energy...

Everyone here at Openhand is tremendously excited, Because today begins our annual, jewel in the crown, level 3 course "The Transfiguration". It's taking place at the lovely private estate of Openhanders Michael and Marielle Sabbe. Participants are flying in from all around the world to be here, to immerse themselves in the Openhand energy and thereby inquire deeply into the nature of their true self. It is for sure, a powerfully transformative event.

And we'd love all of you tuning in to join us!

So we'll be running a daily journal with photos, sharings, and suggestions as to how you might participate with your own exploration and inquiry, inspired by the energy we'll be radiating out to you. Come join the family, and activate your next big shift! Blessings from all the Team.

Openhand is moving with a new energy, heading in a new direction, a new location, in a new land. Where will it be? This week we've been hosting a small but dedicated team of Facilitator Trainees on the magical island of La Palma in the Canary Islands off North Africa. We've had such a marvelous time, not just in the learning and assimilation of the Openhand Spiritual Facilitation Processes, but also soaking up the very mystical and magical energy of La Palma. Far removed from the matrix, secluded and peaceful, it's got a strong 5D vibe. You can literally feel it all around you. Here's a taster of what the trepid Openhand Pioneers have experienced this week...

Those following Openhand will know that over the festive period Trinity and myself finally decided it was right to part company. It had been 'on the cards' for a couple of years, however it was still a fair wrench when the finality of it hit home. But you cannot avoid the path when it is clearly calling. And it also became abundantly clear that it should be me to leave what's been the Openhand Home these last 11 years, to allow Trinity maximum use of the sacred space to develop her Conscious Kitchen Venture...

So when I headed out to run the Facilitators Course in La Palma this week, with just my backpack and suitcase, not only did it feel I was leaving my marriage, but my beloved Glastonbury also. I can tell you a fair few tears ran down my cheeks as the bus departed.

So, you haven't managed to make our very international team flying in for the Chalice Well NewYear Retreat! Nevermind, you don't have to miss out. You can tune in and join us through the ether where distance is no object. And it's made all the more easy by the very special 'energy vehicle' we'll be working in. The Chalice Well in Avalon has been a place of spiritual pilgrimage for over 2000 years! It's been lovingly constructed and blessed with the divine feminine. The Magdalen energy is strong here, so is the Christ consciousness; and the Archangel Michael Line flows very close too. So it's a very special blend to help us unfold and realign for the New Year. Come join the rolling journal, and we'll be sure to involve you as much as possible in the meditation, exploration and celebration...

The path of the soul is one of continual unfolding, expression and evolutionary growth. In a universe of constant change, change is the only constant. And so souls that come together for joy, love and mutual exploration, will also, at some point, part company too. So it has come to pass for myself and Trinity. Having been a loyal and supportive partner to both me personally and to Openhand, the time has clearly now arrived for her to fully invest her energies in her own venture and see where the wave takes her. Parting will always be tinged with sadness where there has been such a wonderful connection. But also unleashed is great sense of adventure as the energies reintegrate and build in new directions. So it is for Openhand too...
