calling all people of vision

to answer your calling from Spirit by adding a stone of intention to

our apacheta (stone cairn)

 and taking your place in our local

 (and global) network of Visionaries.

 

On the Fall Equinox 2009, we gathered on a beautiful cliff overlooking Long Island Sound, on my land in Mattituck, New York, to build a ceremonial stone cairn - known as an Apacheta in the Peruvian tradition - to ground our intentions for earth-honoring community and our personal visions for bringing forth our gifts in service to our communities and the Earth.

 

When you place a stone on an apacheta, it links you to all the other people who have placed their stones there.  An apacheta is a hub in a network of ley lines (known as a ceque system in Peru) that connect all the sacred places on the Earth. It radiates healing energy into the Earth and outward.

  There are cairns all over the world that are helping to send the flow of loving energy to Pachamama and to join people together in common purpose.

 

We had a wonderful gathering of both adults and children, and the pouring forth of communal spirit was delightful. The next morning I went out to the Apacheta to bring offerings, and just as I arrived a flock of wild geese flew overhead from West to East - an opening of the passage betwen the worlds.  Blessings to all who participated, and who will continue to bring their gifts and presence into heart-felt community with us.

 

If  you were not able to come to the Fall Equinox Gathering, but would like to bring/send a stone for the Apacheta,  please call Jeanne at 298-8604. If you were there, or if you want to add another stone to honor an intention, or to connect us with a site that is sacred to you, you are welcome to do so.  Just bring the stone to the next gathering you attend and come 15 minutes early, so that you can place the stone with intention.

 

I'd also be happy to meet with you to place your stone with full ceremonial acknowledgement.

If you would like to build an Apacheta at a site that has sacred resonance for you, let me know. I would be happy to facilitate this. Just let me know.
