My work recently sent me to an internet conference on Cortes Island.  As I had lived there for seven years I was pleased at the chance to go back to my old stompin’ grounds.  I left one and a half years ago seemingly at the top of my game.  I had one of the best jobs available on Cortes Island, I lived in a charming ocean front cottage, and I had a wide circle of friends.  I left to take the Lightwork Apprenticeship program and it was a leap of faith that what I was stepping towards would be as rich as what I was leaving behind.  I knew in my heart it would be and that has proven to be true in spades. 

On this return visit the remaining perfect pictures of my life there faded away.  There was no nostalgia, just a clear affinity for the people and the land.  Though I was attending the conference for work I couldn’t help but bring Lightwork with me as it informs everything I do.  I led a 1 hour Lightwork meditation class during the event that was well attended.  I found it exciting to present a few meditation tools to the lovely left brained folk and help them see how being centered and grounded can make them better leaders, clearer thinkers, and stronger speakers.  It was well received and I left excited about the possibility of developing a half day curriculum on energy management and meditation to take to non-profit and social change organizations.  If all the change-makers had a few Lightwork energy tools the world would be a different place!

Lightwork Productions- the creative wing of Lightwork- is working on projects for people who are new to meditation.  A new book and new website are in production, and they will support people who are curious to explore what Lightwork meditation is like.

The Lightwork Band is back to having regular practices after the summer break.  The band is happily working on some new chants.  These chants are based on current Lightwork Band songs, and explore the sacred through words and tone.

There was a lot going on at the ecovillage this summer.  Scott, Krista and Keith spent most of August up there.  Keith still had to work as a programmer so he climbed to the top of the Ridge everyday to his al fresco office.  I kid you not!  He pitched a tent and a tarp over the internet remitter deck.  So protected from the elements he would sit in his lawn chair and write code.  He reports that he was able to work much more efficiently up there as the energy set was so sweet!  It was hard to get him to leave at the end of the summer….

In the last weekend of August we had a half day cob workshop for the Camp Fircom folks.   Camp Fircom is a United Church camp located near the Fircom dock on Hope Point.  It has been in existence for 50+ years.  Fourteen ‘Fircomites’ came up the hill and learned the basics of cobbing.  Krista masterfully coordinated the large group, schooling them in the art and joy of cob.  We really enjoyed meeting our neighbours, sharing our vision, and honing our cob workshop facilitation skills. 

The post and beam roof to the cob building took a great leap forward.  A few trees were carefully harvested, stripped and put into place.  We’ve cobbed the front windshield of a minivan into the east wall.  It will let a lot of light in and is much sturdier than a regular window pane.  With the help of the folks from Camp Fircom the walls are a few inches higher too!
