Amiable Holiday in Canada!
July 2009
In memory of Jerry Morrison 1935 – 2009
Eight Lightworkers gathered together at our Sanctuary in Alberta, Canada in July of 2009.
Our main intention was to manifest a shuttle landing. In a previous message, Captain Helena assured us that if it was in our reality, it could happen and encouraged us to gather together with this intention.
Our gathering blessed us all with wonderful companionship and humor through Spirit and through our mutual beliefs. There was great respect for, and acceptance of, one another. The majority of us had never met before in person.
It was a perfect balance with canine and human family. The frogs croaked most of the time and we were blessed with no mosquitoes, (except for a couple of fifth dimensional ones!)
There was the feeling of higher energies being present. The birds sang every day and were highly vocal during our meditation…we had gathered to welcome a craft to land. Our Elder, Helen, went for a walk and came across a cougar paw print.
Food replicator worked just fine for him!

Some came by bus, some by air …. and some by auto. Alie Marie traveled from Washington, where she was visiting from Australia. Marje came from British Columbia, Helen came from Manitoba, Michael from Colorado and Darlene and Don from Alberta.

Don, Darlene and Zoltair obliged all by sharing in picking up folks in the city…arriving and departing from the Edmonton Bus Depot and the Edmonton International Airport.

Everyone contributed to our wonderful food cache. We laughed a lot, and as the food replicator was not in service, we cooked together and then ate well together. Our meals were mostly enjoyed outdoors around our beloved campfire, which kept us toasty in the cool temperatures and cloudy days.

Look to the skies!
On the night of the lunar eclipse, we walked to the creek to view the moon. Alie pointed out what appeared to be a craft moving inthe sky from west to east. It was followed by another craft moving in the same direction. And then a third! We were overjoyed! We knew we had followed our inner guidance, were on the right track, and that Spirit had brought us together for many reasons.
Don brought his guitar and music which we enjoyed outdoors by our fire. Darlene brought drums and an amazing array of musical instruments…most we had never seen before! 
The instruments were enjoyed by all in a lively and highly rhythmic drumcircle!
The highlight of our drumming experience was the healing we each received during a Trance Drumming Ceremony facilitated by Darlene.
During our time together, Darlene taught us about the Drumming Circle which we all participated in.
The Drumming Circle taught us that drumming is a form of healing meditation that brings great rewards;
that drumming is a wonderful mode of expression…
and that…
the rhythm and beat of the drums is in vibrational alignment to our heartbeat…
and to the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
What great fun we all had!
Drumming is something that Zilanthrah and Zoltair continue to do,
and were gifted with beautiful individual drums by Darlene.
Marje and Light Being
On the day set aside for the craft landing, we gathered in a large circle.
Darlene led us in a Drumming Ceremony.
Then we meditated as directed by Captain Helena.
Alie Marie blessed us with her Rainbow Bridge Healing Ceremony.
We stood and together sang the “ET Anthem.”
As we sat quietly, both Zilanthrah and Darlene saw two Beings of Light within the circle who were moving around. When Zilanthrah became excited she was no longer able to see them…(having a tape recorder nearby would have been a good idea for a message that may have explained what was happening).
Excerpts from Captain Helena’s message regarding the landing of their craft:
“My dear ones, rejoice and celebrate, for you have earned it, and truly we see group unity.
We wish you to know that indeed, we were in your presence from the very beginning and there are still many all around you.
There was a gift given each of you. There were specific individuals who chose to bequeath these gifts to you, as you were all gathered around in unity consciousness.
Each one received a unique gift, unique in
the way that it is specifically suited for each individual.
They are an activation of codes that include the
Star Languages and the adjustment of the pineal to allow your visual scope to open.”
In the days preceding our gathering, Zoltair had begun plans for the building of a Sweat Lodge. Everyone contributed to the construction. Helen, Michael, Alie, Zoltair and Zilanthrah expressed gratitude to the willows chosen to be the foundation of the Lodge. Zoltair cut them down and we hauled them to the yard.
Off to a good start!
Once at our sacred spot, they were set up and bound together.
We made a trip to town to purchase tarps to use as the major component of the covering for the Lodge…they were on sale!
Thank you angels!
We rounded up old blankets and any material we could find to complete the covering.
Construction of the Sweat Lodge by Don and Zoltair
A carved walking stick was used as part of the construction of the door to enter into the Lodge.
A special staff was placed upright in the ground near the Lodge in recognition of the sacredness of the Lodge and as a central focal point.
Darlene brought her chainsaw to cut spruce for heating the fieldstone rocks. They represent our ancestors
.
Don dug the round hole in the center of the Sweat Lodge for the rocks and removed the sacred soil. The sacred soil was gifted to any who were able to take it home with them.
A ceremony to call in and honor the four directions and elements was performed.
Four colored strips of cloth were tied on the willow branches inside the Lodge to represent the sacredness of the directions.

Firekeeper Zoltair
Upon entering the Lodge that evening, each person was cleansed with sage using a sacred eagle feather before entering.
Zoltair was our Fire Keeper and Zilanthah led the Sweat Lodge Ceremony inside.
The inside of the Lodge represents the sacred womb of Mother Earth.
With each new round, more hot rocks were brought in from the fire. Each round centered on a theme…Gratitude, Forgiveness and Manifestation. The fourth round was spent in Contemplation.
After completing the four rounds, we departed the Lodge.
Later that night sitting around the campfire, Alie saw a very bright object in the night sky to the south and moving from west to east. With the video camera recording,
we videoed a craft, which pulsed at us!
It was a breathtaking and joyous experience.
Captain Helena came through with a message shortly after the craft disappeared behind the trees.
