Come be at peace in these lush, wild settings!
"BE IN JOY!
Dare to laugh, smile, and be happy. Take a trip. Face your fears. Swim with the dolphins. Jump off a cliff. Ride in a
red convertible. Drink kava-kava with friends. Eat sushi and ice-cream. Laugh with a roommate. Walk through the village.
Wear a fragrant lei. Take a drive in the country. See the Valley of the Kings. Enter the Peace Garden. Walk a labyrinth. Talk
to a parrot. Sit in community and in joy. Bring Heaven to Earth!" Linda Kay Burk

The Awakening of the Platinum Crystal
of Communication, Hot Springs, Arkansas-USA
11 November 2011 (11-11-11)
In 2011, one Atlantean Master Crystal awakens - the Platinum Crystal of Communication
in Arkansas, USA. We will be creating a ceremonial day around this event - similar to the gathering done at Mt. Shasta
for 9-9-9, with stories and special surprises! And then we will do other gathering events over the next few days, departing
on the 16th. Due
to another event we are attending, we are beginning THIS Gathering on November 12th - a day AFTER the crystal awakens.
So, we will meet in Hot Springs on Saturday, Nov 12th & meet with an Indian Elder; have ceremony on Sunday, 13th
to honor the Platinum Crystal; dig for crystals on the 14th (weather permitting), and go to Mt. Magazine that evening to stay
at the Lodge,; and on the 15th explore the
area where lay the Blue Crystal of Knowledge & the Emerald Crystal of Healing! Leave for your hometown on the 16th
(Weds). You and your
friends can join us for any or all of this Gathering. Only cost is perhaps a gift of the heart to the mountain and Manataka
Indian Council. You will be responsible for your own transportation, lodging, and food. On our ceremony day, I hope
to have a Manataka elder guide us up the sacred Hot Springs Mountain, and to other energized places. The itinerary is
still being formed - please let us know your wishes, and you can be a co-creator! We are planning 2 nights in Hot Springs;
and 2 nights at Mt. Magazine Lodge (where on the 8-8-8 trip we met star people... :-)! We are working on finalizing
the details - please come join us in this sacred, fun, and amazing Gathering. Please plan on attending - it will be
magical!

Future Peace Eco-Tours /Sacred Site Journeys we are looking into
are to: Costa Rica, Zambia, Madagascar, New Zealand, Belize and Bolivia
Sacred
Sites around the world hold great energy and power of ancient wisdom from stories of the past. Many of these sites are connected
to First Nations, and these indigenous teachings hold keys for humanity on how to wake up and find the peace that we are seeking.
Nature itself has complex information to give us in its Golden Mean growth
patterns and ley lines of energy around the planet. These vortexes of Earth energy can be felt, examined, and incorporated
into our DNA and our life actions, aligning our bodies with the planet and its vibration.
These
sacred sites also contain places of wonder and beauty, and open the heart to inspiration and a flow of love and light. Walking
through a light-filled canyon, or a gleaming-wet stalagtite-rich cave, can give the breath pause and make the spirit soar.
A
Peace Eco-Tour to a sacred site opens all kinds of possibilities for people to become one with the wisdom, wonder, and beauty
of these natural and cultural elements. Come join us!
