Our combination Medicine Wheel - Spring Equinox ceremony was truly wonderful.  The weather was warm, the altar was beautiful, the people were loving and sharing, the connection to the other ceremonies was strong and the global wave is still being felt!

As we gathered around our beautiful altar, each one spoke to the earth, to the waters, to the heavens and to each other of what they were thankful for and what their intentions were.  One of the highlights of our little gathering came in the form of 80 year old Ginny who was thankful to be in love for the first time.  Love bubbled up and out and spread all around as we rejoiced in her youthful "teenager in love" exuberance and her tales of skiing, romancing and dancing with her tall & very handsome soul mate.  We're delighted to know that love can come at any age!!!!

When we were packing up our cars and getting ready to leave Esther noticed a magnificent "arrow" cloud formation pointing west*.  We were quite happy to see it because as we were holding our ceremony we knew Bennie LeBeau was in the 4 corners area, energetically releasing 4 arrows into the air to bring about the reconnecting, healing and balancing of the nations, the earth, the elements and humanity.  We were honored that Spirit acknowledged our link with Bennie's ceremony in such a wonderfully explicit way. (*Wendy took a photo of the arrow, if it comes out ok, we will email to you when we get it)

Attached are some photos taken by our resident photographer, Wanda that show our happy little group, the ocean waves crashing on the rocks and our lovely altar.  We were happy to welcome several newcomers - including Sharon all the way from Peru and Gary who honored us with his magnificient drum and male energy -  and also Barbara, Jennifer, Patricia, Ginny, Kristi and last minute arrivals Pamela's wonderful family with oodles and oodles of little one's.   (I know I am forgetting someone - sorry!)

We hope to see you, all our regulars and many more at the next ceremony.  Also, keep checking in at the website www.teton-rainbows.com for upcoming activities/events/seminars/ceremonies being planned for Big Bear and at several other locations along the Medicine Wheel.  And don't forget, Bennie is off to Egypt this year to hold some incredible ceremonies in the land of the pyraminds!  So if you would like to join him for a once in a lifetime experience, check out the website for all the details.

Love and many blessings to all,
Mary and Esther,
