Dear Friends
Today´s Blue Moon is about Big Changes.
Here we´re in tune with that energy:
Yesterday we finalised the sale of our house!
Finally. Feels Good. Forward!

In September we move out,
dividing our life between Assisi & Denmark.
Not sure yet precisely how,
we´ll keep you updated...

We´ll take along the memories of countless friends
that shared the Silent Space with us,
The Simplicity of Being.
We´ll offer that again - as soon as we can...

Meanwhile,
All our Love & Gratitude to This Place we were allowed to take care of,
All of you that were here to share the Silence,
All of you that dreamed of coming here but didn´t make it,
All of you that might be able to come in the future...

Simply put: All our Love to All of You!
Mayadevi & Shintai

Dear Friends
In our last December Newsletter we announced we´d start our own Winter Retreat here. Just the both of Us. We did.
For several weeks we slowed down and did nothing much.
What a privilege to be able to do so.
That Stillness has stayed.

Listening yesterday to Pam Gregory´s sublime astrological description of the Equinox, her words at the end of the video supported us:

"I´d like to promote something I call "The Big Slowdown", internally. The World is going to get wilder on the outside, more people are going to be reactive. Turn Inwards! Dedicate yourself to the big slowdown.
Because if we can stay calm, centered, peaceful in the midst of this storm - that´s actually our mastery. That is not spiritual bypassing, we´re just choosing not to react to it. It´s not selfish as we´re all going to broadcast that calmness out to the collective, it´s actually service to the others.

whereafter she quotes Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1977:
“When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order.”

May We All Be an Island of Coherence
Much Love from the both of us...
Mayadevi & Shintai

OUR WINTER NEWSLETTER:

Dear Friends
Usually we send out our Winter Newsletter on Winter Solstice, however this time we can´t wait!
Simply too much Light & Energy ahead of us to postpone our outsending...

This Autumn we hosted our last Individual Retreats here in this home,
needless to say that waving goodbye to them wasn´t without a sweet sadness...

Ten years went by, a couple of hundred guests, lots of warm hearted meetings.
Now Silence really falls upon us... An empty calender is staring us right in the face!

While waiting for the right buyer to show up (wherafter we´ll establish new small Retreat Centers in both Assisi & Denmark), we... simply wait and do nothing.

So December is going to be our own retreat here on the silent mountain.
No guests, no social meetings, just us...

This Evening Tomorrow´s Full Moon came peeping in over the mountain,
The start of a range of Cosmic Energetic December Events,
we´ll follow them together with thousands of other Lightworkers.
It´s going to be an exciting month in the company of Angels and the likes!
Maybe we meet some of you there...?

So once again we send All Of You All Our LOVE,
May your Winter Time Be Blissful...

Mayadevi & Shintai

Silence is something which comes naturally when you are watching; when you are watching without motive, without any kind of demand; just to watch, and see the beauty of a single star in the sky, or to watch a single tree in a field, or to watch your wife or husband, or whatever you watch. To watch with a great silence and space. Then in that watching, in that alertness, then there is something which is beyond words, beyond all measure.⁠
⁠
We use words to measure the immeasurable. So one must be aware also of the network of words, how words cheat us; how words mean so much - a Communist, to a capitalist, means something terrible; socialist, or some stranger. You follow? Words become extraordinarily important. But to be aware of those words and to weigh the words, to weigh, to live with the word 'silence', knowing that the word is not silence, but to live with that word and see the weight of that word, the content of the word, the beauty of that word. So one begins to realise, when thought is quietly watching, there is something beyond all imagination, doubt, seeking, and there is such a thing - at least for the speaker. But what the speaker says has no validity to another. Unless you listen, learn, watch, be totally free from all the anxieties of life, then only there is a religion which brings about a new, totally different culture.⁠

Dear Friends,
Big Changes here on our mountain...!

After a lovely ten days individual retreat in March, both Mayadevi and I felt that we somehow were finished offering group retreats here at home.
Absolutely no negative feeling, maybe a little bit tired of all the physical tasks.
Mostly a strong feeling that something new wanted to happen.

Few days later we decided to sell our house in order to find a smaller place here around Assisi and another in Denmark in order to be closer to our sons´ families and our Danish friends.
We contacted the real estate agent from whom we bought our house exactly ten years ago, she came to take pictures & video and prepared all the documents.
So now we patiently wait for a buyer to show up...

As soon as we are settled in our new places we will be offering again our individual retreats. We´ll keep you updated!

So big changes, yes!
Exciting, yes!
As this decision came smooth and organicaly, we trust and are grateful to The Universe!

Meanwhile we´send YouAllOurLight&Love
