The community is where we strengthen the bonds between us, where we experience the camaraderie of having friends to support us on our journey.
Have you ever been to a workshop and had an amazing spiritual experience, only to go home to connect on your own and not be able to reproduce it? That is due to the energetic field created by the group intention.
Being in community allows us to build a more powerful container to support a stronger, deeper meditative experience and more effective co-creation.
Coming together as a group to commune with spiritual allies enhances the vibrational field and amplifies our individual capacities. All of our allies also come together, creating a very strong network of support.
“Imagine what we can do together” is a phrase our Subtle Allies gave to us a couple of years ago. We are powerful on our own, but our efforts are multiplied when we come together!
There are a series of posts every week to assist us in our roles as Bridge-Builders between the Realms.
Every Monday we share a short, simple exercise as a practice to connect with the Subtle Realms. It may offer a way to play with the current energies on the planet, or it may focus on deepening your connection with the Realms. (There are many people who share weekly guidance, ours comes from our Nature Spirit allies and is focused on helping us connect to the subtle realms of the planet and beyond.)
We strengthen the human/tree web of connection by tuning into a different tree each week. We get to experience their personalities, their gifts and their wisdom, as well as share some of our love with them to help them maintain their vital role on the planet.
This is an opportunity to tune into your local Nature allies and see how they’re doing, see if they have any message to share with the community. It could be in the form of words, or an image in your mind or an image you see in the world around you. It’s a reminder to check in, and it’s fun to read each others messages!
Writing with the Fae with Shoshana Avree. On zoom, we meditate for about 7 minutes to tune into the Faery realm and meet a being that wants to share a story, then write without editing for 15 minutes to record the exchange. It’s a brilliant way to connect and learn!
Question of the week, to share experiences and promote introspection
The energy of Gratitude and Joy helps us connect to the higher dimensions. This is an opportunity to share what is lighting you up, and in sharing that light it grows brighter!
First Monday, 10am Pacific time: Co-Creative Intention Circle.
We meet with our allies to meditate, communicate and co-create on a different topic each month:
April 1st: Embodying Creative Potential: It’s April Fools Day! The Fool is the first card of the Tarot and represents unlimited potential. How can we incorporate and embody this energy more deeply in our lives?
May 6th: How do we Fertilize our life? This is the time of year we fertilize our gardens. What serves as fertilizer for our lives?
June 3rd: Exploring the Flow of Self-Expression. Nature is now in full bloom. What does full bloom’ look like for us?
Second Sunday, 5:30pm Pacific Time: Book Club discussion.
We have read many of the classical books on connecting between the realms over the past couple of years! We are currently reading ‘The Faery Teachings’ by Orion Foxwood and will likely take until May to finish.
This is recorded for those that cannot attend live, and there is opportunity for on-going discussion in the network.
Third Saturday, 10am – 11:30am Pacific Time: Monthly Workshop with Guest Speaker.
These are recorded for later viewing. Presenters are scheduled up to three months out, if you have a suggestion for someone you would like to see please let us know! Workshops are $35

In the intricate web of systemic and family constellations, a profound intersection with nature unfolds, revealing the interconnectedness between familial dynamics and the natural world: thus the creation of Nature Constellations.
This holistic approach acknowledges the parallels between the way families function and the intricate ecosystems that thrive in nature. Much like the delicate balance within a family system, ecosystems rely on interdependence and symbiosis. Systemic and family constellations draw inspiration from the inherent wisdom of nature, recognizing patterns, cycles, and the deep-rooted connections that govern both familial relationships and the ecosystems that sustain life.
For this session, we will focus on the land of the Old Growth Canyon, site of the Fairy Congress. Our intention is to support its health and well-being so that it in turn can support the full flowering of the Nature-Human relationship that is the core of Fairy Congress.
In this space, we begin to heal the original core wound – our separation from nature with the world wide spread of colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy, industrialism and Western Culture.
Tania Gonzalez-Ortega – an artist, visionary, energy healer, and educator who has been studying and practicing energy healing since 2000. She has spent decades learning various modalities directly from spiritual masters and healers from India and the United States.
Tania’s journey as a healer began when she encountered a healing crisis during a kundalini awakening in her mid-twenties and a dramatic miracle healing through Christ. This journey revealed that she carried spiritual gifts – such as astral travel, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and telepathy. Tania can connect with worlds beyond this dimension and tap into healing potentials that she can now share with others in the sessions that she gives.
Tania uses her own spiritual gifts in all her one-on-one healing sessions for individuals, families, animals, and businesses. These sessions activate your own healing abilities within your crystalline light body to heal and transform at profound levels.
After working with Tania, clients often report feeling more at peace, more connected with themselves, and alleviation of symptoms they have been struggling with. Some will also experience better relationships and more abundance in their life. Her website is www.newearthconsciousness.com
