Fall Harvest Gratitude
for the Communities whom
        I have shared time with
.....
From Peaceful Endeavours to You!

May we re-member there are Cycles of Life...
like the trees that came out of Winter to blossom and bloom and flourish their green on our trees in Spring...now comes that which turns to gold, red and yellow...now leaves to shed for our Fall, and fills the earth floor with color...to create the nourishment and compost for the new life cycle to come forth..as we move into our Winter...

Be gentle on yourself, and rest and recoup, to dream in your new Cycle... adding to it that which we choose to manifest...our heart's desire ..into reality...THIS TIME...making it different, perfecting our timeless wishes...one by one.

It IS, after all,  all up to us to find our Harmony and keep it growing strong...in the soil of our choosing... To repeat and re-member... over and over til we choose it's time to bid farewell to this re-membering and set ourselves free...

I will remember you, you will remember me.  We were, after all, in this grand plan together this time, and will create our next adventure..in what ever shape and form we desire....to repeat and redo as the Sun rises every morning..and the Moon takes its place in the night....may we circle and cycle around forever... together ...til we get it 'right'... (Smiles)


Everything has its season....  

Enjoy your Fall....with family and friends.....
I enjoy your cycles with me!

Blessings, Virginia LoneSky
Peaceful Endeavours Labyrinths...


Sharing ...another's ancient concept from Sri Gawn Tu Fahr :

Life
like a sky full of rain
pours down in torrents and rises again
Death
like trees in the fall
bare all their branches until they hear the spring call
Cycles
what appears to be starting has recently waned
and what seems to be passing is sprouting again

ANGEL'S LANDING INVITES YOU TO JOIN US IN
ANOTHER LIFE AFFIRMING WORKSHOP

Facilitated by

 Virginia LoneSky, ThD
 Peaceful Endeavours Presents..


An Afternoon Of Personal Re-Discovery
Saturday - October 4, 2014
1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Angel's Landing - Pt. Colborne, Ontario, Canada
  
Come experience an afternoon learning various ways to increase your self awareness, by working with sacred geometry and sacred patterns;  to create your own personal 'sacred space'.  


We welcome Virginia back to continue sharing her shamanic/goddess ceremonial background and guiding the participants in experiencing setting "intent"  and working in a group setting within this lovely natural setting at Angel's Landing with her portable labyrinth.


She will combine ancient wisdom with ancient symbols, with your sacred items,to create endless possibilities.  Will include a labyrinth walk on the living art, "Grail Goddess" then sitting in circle and being guided on a 
"special journey".  Will culminate in a Sacred Fire with drumming and infusing the day within ourselves and Mother Earth/Pachamama. 

No previous workshops with Virginia required.  We all come onto the land and
into this workshop equal.  Moving together to weave all our experiences into energy that feeds ourselves and our surroundings.  The Journey continues!

(c) 2001 Grail Goddess Living Art Labyrinth      
Walking the “Grail Goddess” labyrinth to re-connect 
to your personal “Star Map"

The workshop begins with a talking circle, learning about labyrinths and how they can be used in everyday life. Everyone in attendance will learn to work together to align sacred objects to create sacred space.  Then Virginia will create a safe space in which you can experience what it feels like to gently go on your own personal Journey of rediscovery.  We will lock into the energy of your inner and outer space; the land and ascend into your personal energy activation to sense how you can activate your own self-empowerment – come empty, leave full.

This is a form of labyrinth work which will use a consecrated pattern, that has been walked by people all over the world since 2002.   And NOW it will be available for you.  For those who came to the last workshop.  This will take you into continuing what you began in May with moving into more group work.

Please Bring With You :  Everyone bring one stone, or any  of the following suggestions: crystal, statue, personal sacred object that you feel has significance to YOU to help create your own alignment around the labyrinth -  You will take this back after the workshop.   We are going to build our own Vortex Energy Grid!   


Also bring one stick i.e. a branch of a tree that is no larger than 12 inches, to offer to the "Sacred Fire".

Dress comfortably for outside weather.  If you have a favorite outdoor folding camp chair feel free to bring it for comfort. Important: Wear or bring socks.  The protocol to walking a canvas labyrinth is to remove your shoes/boots.  If you have stability problems bring slippers.  Thank you for understanding.

And bring drums, rattles, music makers - so we can make joyful noise to celebrate!


I am honored to be asked to return to the most wonderful location in Canada - the Organic Farm and Sacred space of  Angel's Landing.   We will incorporate this beautiful natural setting with all the wonderful people who attend.   Can't wait to see you all!

Introducing Another Aspect Of Peaceful Endeavours - 

Packakuti Mesa Work

as taught by don Oscar Miro-Quesada 
and my Branching Off Into 

"Sweet Water Medicine Society"
Feminine Centered Ceremonies
Teachings and Workshops

Contact: Virginia LoneSky, ThD
To Bring A Workshop To Your Community!

NORTH, SOUTH, CENTRAL AMERICA 
CANADA - MEXICO - EUROPE - AUSTRALIA 


Virginia has been a practicing Ceremonialist / Medicine Woman since 1988, and a Mesa carrier since her Apprenticeship began in 1989.  Integrating the lineage of don Oscar Miro-Quesada’s Pachakuti Mesa teachings into her diverse tribal/indigenous roots and healing practices.  Going out into community as her Elders have taught her to do.  Mentoring and helping to establish new inter-connected communities - around the world into Mesa and Labyrinth Earth energy work.  As a way of life.

She guides workshop participants through their inter-dimensional doorways to experience a re-connection to their ‘Star Map’.  Emerging revitalized and ‘awake and ready’; open to practice new ways to apply the Mesa work with other modalities steeped in sacred geometry.   For the benefit of maximizing your human potential to hold sacred space and make it ‘real’. 

For the non-Mesa community, she incorporates the use of energy work of the ancient “Goddess” Wisdom schools.  Incorporates the teaching of how to use sacred geometry in your home and community, and also integrates the use of the Labyrinth to facilitate group empowerment walks.  All classes and/or personal instruction are tailored to the person or group’s belief system.
.
Founder of Peaceful Endeavours, a cross-cultural, multi-denominational spiritual educational non-profit, serving communities around the world, to practice community involvement, dispel cultural myths, and integrate peaceful practice into one’s everyday life.  Virginia is a Sacred Geometry Practitioner, assists to communicate and reveal Earth energies in personal and public space.  A Writer, contributor, “Stories of Prayer and Faith”, and creator of Copyrighted labyrinth products.  

Virginia is also an Ordained Minister to do her ‘hands on’ work, with a doctorate in Theology.  Performs unique marriage and life affirming ceremonies.  Has been bestowed with the acknowledgement as a Medicine Woman, by Tlakaelel, Keeper of the Oral Tradition – Aztec tradition; bestowed the Shamanic teachings of XXaman, Mayan tradition.  Initiated at the ancient goddess temples of learning at Uxmal in the Yucatan, by Na Kin, Mayan healing tradition;  adopted into the “Two Feathers Medicine Clan, Cherokee band in Crete, IL creating new ceremonies and supporting their Sundance; honored as a ‘Relative’ in the Lakota  tradition to carry medicine, given permission to build and pour sweat lodge, offer canupa ceremonies, and carry Eagle feathers, and supported their Sundance. 

Most recently in July, 2014, resulting from her dedication to work with don Oscar, Spirit  announced the formation of the *“Sweet Water Medicine Society”,  a new feminine aspect asking to be birthed out, as a new branch of her Pachakuti Mesa service.  It follows the premise of our destiny to aid in bringing in the merger of the feminine aspects with the masculine, and committing to actively mentoring the next generation, in these ways.  Requires nothing except you knowing you belong, and do the work.  “We are one – and not separated when in one-heart service”, Virginia LoneSky”. She is looking forward to building programs in the future.

(*Its’ midwife was Deina Bomberry, along with the singers; and John Rice along with the drummers from, Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada and Holly, MI.  Who at our Chinchaysuyu gathering, July 4-6, 2014, shared their Anishinabe roots, and examples of ‘doing’ their healing work and Water ceremony with balance, “in any way you are led to serve”, and was grounded into reality after that weekend.)  Birthed also by the inspired work and teachings of don Oscar, on the uniting together of the Eagle and the Condor in our lifetime. 

She has served on the Chinchaysuyu Regional Council and Committees 2010-2014, and will continue to support the teachings and communication tools in the Region to bring the knowledge of the work of don Oscar Miro-Quesada to the public.  To continue ‘growing corn’ for future generations to come.

She resides in Southeastern Michigan – within 20 miles of her birthplace of Detroit.  Works with all cultures and communities; her Ayllu on a regular basis locally, to do ceremony.  Will travel around the world, as asked, to work with any community open to learning how to access their potential to serve humanity and how to integrate Mesa work into your everyday life.   “Have Mesa and Labyrinth Will Travel”.    Munay, Virginia LoneSky, ThD

    Labyrinth Products and Gifts.....
Finger labyrinths make the perfect contemplative 'personal' gift and allow you and your family and friends to practice mindful meditation within a beautiful setting.  In a presentation I give, from research a Harvard study has shown that the human brain can 'grow' new neuron connectors with the use of meditation.

From my research, the labyrinth is a pattern that connects Left/Right eye/hand mind co-ordination and aids in moving the physical internal energy to revitalize and stimulate the Chi energy and is wonderful for finding introspection and creating your life plans.   Ask a question, and move your finger along the secure pathway into the Center....rest and reflect....then when ready it is IMPORTANT to move out...re-tracing and sending your 'connectors' into action...with an 'insight', feeling, stimulation that will lead, eventually to an 'ah ha' moment...helping to lighten your mental load and see (in your minds' eye) clearer.

It can also be used as Feng Shui in your home... the pattern by itself acts as a Pa Kua  - I have one set of friends who use the symbol above their doorway, much as the Chinese symbol is used.  Why not?

You can also take these cloth finger labyrinths and pin up on dorm walls, or put right over your TV (monitor) or computer monitor when not in use...in my geomancy instinct, it captures stray electrical energy that is not beneficial to your space... use your own belief system.   It is a great altar cloth too.

Beautiful dark purple with shiny silver design.   Comes in a "Journey of the Heart" labyrinth kit which includes a touchstone and two pages of history and suggestions to use for fun and scientific/metaphysical explorations.

Classic Style 7 Path Finger Labyrinth Kit
Chartres Style 11 Path Finger Labyrinth Kit

The cloths are portable and lovely and washable cotton/poly blend for durability 21 " x 21" .

There is also an extraordinary DOUBLE - Finger Labyrinth that you move into using BOTH  left, right hands/fingers and that stimulates BOTH sides of the brain at once.  Something we need to do more, if you ask me....connects the glia brain builder cells to each other and really gets the mind exercised.    The grooved pathways are perfect for keeping everyone easily on the path; even more perfect for Elders and Children!  
                    (Only available in Black now - Greg the maker tells me.)
Double Classic Style Side by Side Finger Labyrinth
You can have these products and many more on the website - shipped around the world.   Be sure to fill out the Order Form, and you will receive a secure PayPal invoice or I can assist you in completing a Check or Money Order payment.
