Transport Aquired!















With about 4-5 groups of friends from my local area heading to Shambhala the next step is to secure transport for my group including Alex who I am the chaperon for this year. We got this Van to take four of us and all of our equipment. Thank you Clint for manifesting our chariot!

The Road to Shambhala



We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all.

10 Days till lift off!



The full moon has descended.

"We're entering the heart of Summer, the heart of the year, the heart of the Lion. Leo is concerned with leaving a mark. The creative principle of the Sun is in its most regal form in this fiery and fixed sign. Its time to shine, to sing, to dance, to answer our own call to be a creative force for change, for a more art full life.
The Moon in Aquarius encourages sharing our emotions with the collective family and to trust in tribe and community. Mercury, also in Leo, opposes Neptune also in Aquarius. We might find it hard to concentrate on the tasks at hand as the fog of Neptune seeks to dissolve egotistical separation. That we are a large earth family is highlighted by this full Moon.
Our Venus may be stirred by impulsive Mars, both in Virgo, as they both approach Saturn. Mars opposes Uranus on July 30th, conjoins Saturn on the 31st and squares Pluto on August 3rd stimulating the cardinal T square active all year. This is happening while Saturn is forming its last exact opposition to Uranus.


There should be some breakthroughs in many of the issues that have been tormenting us during this time of massive transformation. Its time to let go of the ego and more truthfully align with our inner purpose as the winds of change blow through our lives.

The old paradigms are crumbling and dying to be replaced by a more sustainable reality. As they both are entering the Cardinal signs of Aries and Libra this last opposition is marking the beginning of a new era empowered by Pluto in Capricorn reforming leadership as we know it. Jupiter inspires to whole formation conjoining Uranus and Mars throws a little of its fire when it conjoins Saturn. At the time and following this full Moon the Cardinal T square will include 4 of the 5 outer planets. These are indeed powerful times.

Take advantage of these transformational times, take courage in that we're all in this together and let your freak flag fly.
"

The winds may blow a little hard trying to sweep us off our feet, but we remain balanced, centered and Grounded to the infinite.

Days Left!

For those of you looking to maintain a connection to the outside world during the festivities, Columbia Wireless will have Kiosks set up so that you may tell all four face book friends how much they are missing out, and upload all your party pics. Or even work on your blog!

"Bring your laptops to Shambhala this year and stay connected! Columbia Wireless Inc will be supplying WiFi High Speed Internet service to the Shambhala public camping area this summer. If you don't have a laptop to bring, we will be providing four Internet kiosk stations for public use. When you arrive, look for the white Columbia Wireless trailer located next to the ATM's to set up your laptop or use the Kiosk. Its a great way to share your photos with family and friends at home while you are at the events! You can also make Skype calls on your laptop or cell phone to tell your friends and family what they are missing out on!"

Some graf and 15 days left till shambz. Stay sharp!

"With regard to the actual whereabouts of Shambhala...It's very difficult to say. If you read some of the ancient texts, they talk about six regions. As soon as you hear the word Shambhala there is a mystic connotation you see. So people without knowing the depth of it, there is this word Shambhala people naturally get a connotation of a land where there is plenty of, you know, everything."


-Geshe Lakdor La
Translator to the Dalai Lama

"You will expect certain things and they won't come true. What will happen is something that you never imagined, something so much better. Be prepared for something you can't possibly explain."

Shambha-shwag and Schedule!


Now that the destination is set, suddenly this "stuff" seems a lot more like props, talismans and tools for Shambala...



Le Ticket

After much time of being unsure if my journey would take me to Shambhala this year, suddenly a ticket for $150 (exactly how much cash I had) showed up in my hands! I am so grateful for this wonderous gift and all that made it possible! Thank you mysterious universe, and Dylan =]

This years Shambhala experience is going to be fully documented, so we will posting pictures/video of amazing Sham experiences that cross the path between now and the end of Shambhala 2010!

Blissings! <3
