7 DAYS RENEWAL long thin.jpg

DAY 1 ~  REBIRTHING

Rest in Loving Essence 

As we begin our journey of healing,

We ask to release from our lives all that no longer serves.

We agree to let go of the noise and the toxins

And the habits and the fears

And the feelings that hurt ourselves and others.

We shed that which is stale and rigid and lifeless

And relinquish that which has constrained 

Our creativity and compassion.

We go deeper, listening patiently as the veils clear,

And fresh spaces open to new breath.

And in for-giving space,

Essence reawakens

Sprouting fresh roots

As it stirs in readiness

To dance again in love with all that is

invitation

for daily reflection

Reflections & Practices: Invitation for the sacred renewal of your relationship with the essence of Rebirthing.

Offered by Shelley Ostroff

These daily reflections and practices invite you to commune with the essence and vibrations of the theme of the day. As you engage with these essences you are invited to deepen the dialogue with the essence through spontaneous journalling, visual art, sound and movement inspired by the communion. The creative journey with these essences over the week offers a profound portal into the vast mystery and magic of "Sacred Renewal".

REBIRTHING: An invitation to commune with the essence of Rebirthing in heartful presence, holding the following reflections in your heart.

Let's sense into essence

Into the Essence of Essence

Each Essence a consciousness all of its own,

A quality a wavelength, a wisdom a tone, 

A unique vibration,

An exclusive sensation,

A pulsating partner in all of Creation.​

~ Shelley Ostroff, from "IS"

opening message from the white lion heartlands

~ with linda tucker

Speaking from the Heart of White Lion ancestral territories, an ancient Sacred Natural Site which has been restored from an exploited wasteland to a flourishing paradise under the paws of the Africa’s King of Kings, Linda Tucker offers a message of hope and celebration. Sharing his powerful prayer for the White Lions, Linda honours the great LionHearted™ Leader, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who dedicated his life to bringing about peace and prosperity in humanity as well as the Natural world, and who will be laid to rest on 1-1-2022

Founder of the Linda Tucker Foundation and Global White Lion Protection Trust, she and her team have successfully rewilded the White Lions, securing vast protected heritage lands in the heart of their ancestral territories in UNESCOs Kruger to Canyons Biosphere.

 

The White Lions and the work of Linda Tucker and the Global White Lion Protection Trust has been a profound inspiration for the 7 Days of Rest Event and for all of the initiatives of Together in Creation. We are immensely grateful to Linda Tucker for this powerful opening message from the Heartlands.

Reflections & Practices: Invitation for the sacred renewal of your relationship with the essence of Rebirthing.

Offered by Shelley Ostroff

 

REBIRTHING: An invitation to commune lovingly with the essence of "Rebirthing", holding the following reflections in your heart.

  • Invite the essence of Rebirthing to be present with you and reveal herself to you. What do you notice in your field, and what are the images, feelings, sensations, insights and energetic experience that arise? What is the essence of Rebirthing sharing with you through these experiences?

  • Sense into the ever-present essence and experience of Rebirthing in Nature, in Life, in Consciousness, in Humanity and in your own life?  What do you notice?

  • In what ways do you sense Rebirthing manifesting at this time on Mother Earth, for the planet, for humanity and for yourself personally?
     

  • What can we learn from the birthkeepers, those who tend wisely and lovingly to the sacred passage of each unique birth, about how to hold space for that which is seeded and birthing at this time? How can we bring this into our own lives personally and collectively?

 

  • What can we learn from the Foundations of Life: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Climate, Biodiversity and the Web of Life, about the consciousness of Rebirthing, and how each of these participates to the Rebirthing of Life?

  • Sense into what the sacred renewal of our relationship with the essence of Rebirthing would look like, individually and collectively, and how that would transform the way in which we live in the world?

  • In what ways do you feel called to honor and celebrate the essence of Rebirthing here and now at the gateway of a new year, a new era and as an ongoing practice in your life?
